Agreed! Comments on comments were the last reason I sometimes went back to the original YouTube app!

Yup, now the only reason for me to occasionally switch to the actual YouTube page is to give videos likes and subscribes (that actually count for the person and aren’t just bookmarks for myself)

Finally! I switched to PipePipe before this update, since it somehow had the comments working.

I throught the app was being rewritten and that this version was only gonna receive fixes until the rewrite is over.

I thought the app was being rewritten and that this version was only gonna receive fixes until the rewrite is over.

That’s correct. The “New” and “Improved” changes are mostly from pull requests that were opened before the rewrite announcement, or are important quality of life improvements.

NewPipe supports PeerTube and others, give it a try to lower your dependency on YouTube!
