App: https://grayjay.app/ have any of you used this app? What do you think of it? Is it a good alternative to YouTube and such?
I dont have youtube so i use it as my main mobile video viewing app. So far im happy with it. I have the youtube and odysee plugins. Devs also seem to be responsive and helpful on github, as i found out when i did a derp i thought was a bug but wasnt and opened an issue.
The developers are FUTO and their badass. They’re hardcore against the tech oligarchy.
I’m enjoying it. I like it’s sync feature, so now my history and playlists etc are shared across my 3 main devices. No issues so far but still relatively new to it. I find it’s more reliable across vpns than newpipe or freetube.
What VPN/server do you use? I use Grayjay without logging into my YouTube account at all I find it very unreliable over every Private Internet Access VPN server I’ve tried. YouTube seems to block all the providers IP ranges.
I like it. It’s solid on a mobile phone but a bit hit and miss on desktop. Good alternative to FreeTube
I have it on my phone but don’t watch YT on mobile frequently. It works well enough though when I do use it.
Overall a solid app, good to have as a backup whenever Youtube introduces changes that break the NewPipe mechanism. Fine on larger screens like tablets, but the UI can get a bit busy for my taste on a phone. They say it’s merely source-available, but I won’t belabor it since I trust the developers’ intentions.
