Video Lite

I don’t write reviews for apps hardly ever. But this app has been a godsend to someone who cannot stand long (and sometimes un-skippable)video ads. The referral program is a very nice touch even tho I haven’t used it yet. Had I more coin to spare i would gladly pay the $ for the no-ads package but I hope that the money made off of me from the non-instructive and quickly closable ads (that do NOT interrupt videos often; if at all) can eventually add up to over $10 for the no-ads package because honestly, this person (or team) deserves it. Constant updates and improvements that easily make the official YT app look like a cheap and greedy knock-off. Background playback is the biggest cherry-on-top. Fantastic. Thank you so much for this app. You’re making our video-surfing MUCH more pleasurable while not screwing over your users with any kind of malicious or annoying bait. I appreciate it greatly as I’m sure many others do.

Gonna be real, after the free trial ends, ads start appearing. They are easily skipped after less than two seconds and it’s only like one ad when you open it. Compare that to YT where there are two 15-second unskippable ads at the start and end of each video, with the possibility of ads in the middle. This app is the best I’ve seen so far. The subscription is also pretty good being WAY LESS compared to YT Red. Even if you choose to not get the subscription, it’s a much better alternative. If anything bad happens in the future, I’ll change this review, but so far it’s an amazing app.

I dearly love this app and I've been using it for a couple years now. I watch YT almost exclusively on my phone and I detest ads, so I happily paid for the full version to be ad-free. I only paid once and have had basically no problems since. I only have one issue that is relatively new. I like watching videos in 1080p when available, or 720p minimum. For some reason, videos are all locked to 360p and no matter what I do, I can't fix the quality to be higher. It doesn't matter if I'm on wifi or data, and now all my videos are blurry. I'd really like it if this could get fixed. I will absolutely change to 5 stars if this could be addressed!!

This app is a very user friendly experience so far. It actually runs better than the YT app as i have a hard time getting that app to play in the background and this app has no such problems. That and so far i haven’t noticed any ads that interrupt the videos im watching to show me stuff i have absolutely no interest in. Really nice app and i wish i found it much sooner

This app is very good if you are tired of ads. You get a very long time to get no ads and after they are less than 2 seconds and take no time at all. It is also great for if your parents are strict for social media because you can access all your accounts from one place. My only complaint is that tik tok is slow loading.

For some reason the app will regularly and seemingly randomly drop the volume to the lowest setting above silent. The actual volume on my phone remains unchanged, meaning the only way to fix it that I’ve found is to force close the app and try playing a video. Sometimes I have to do this several times before it actually works. When the volume isn’t broken the app is great though, aside from minor issues adding and removing videos to playlists.

Tube Pro was my favorite but unfortunately stopped working right so I needed to find an alternative. At first I was very grateful for Video Lite, but the ads have become more and more obnoxious and are harder to exit out of. When I try to exit out, pop ups come up. Oftentimes there’s no option to exit out and I need to close and re-open the app over and over. It’s still better than YouTube’s obnoxious ads in the beginning and middle….but Video Lite is becoming annoying and I’m going to look for a better alternative.

An amazing app that is invaluable for actually using certain video services on ios. There are minor ads that I don't mind as they are way less intrusive than on certain other sites and apps. And while ads themselves aren't an issue I am however docking a point because lately I've been inundated with some really gross visually unappealing advertising that makes me regret opening the app.

Have been using it for over a year, and recommending it for my friends. Please fix the following bug: when you are watching a video on portrait mode, scrolling through the suggested related below, click on the three dots to save it to Watch Later. The modal that slides from the bottom is too short; I’ve often clicked on “Don’t Recommend Channel” or “Not Interested” by accident. Using iPhone 11. Thank you!

Really seamless switching experience, very reasonable pro subscription cost, there’s only two things I can nit-pick. With screen lock on, the full screen button orients the image opposite of the conventional orientation. When replying to a comment within a comment, the person you are replying to is not tagged as they should be.

I’ve never written a review before but I honestly have found no issues in using it so far, and I typically like trying to push limits with apps and systems but this stood strong against any glitches or slip ups I tried to find, it would honestly just be a 4.8 though simply because I know as a company I’d hate these type of workarounds.

Works mostly as anticipated. One long ads each time you open VL. You’ll also have to watch additional ads if you open any app up while it’s playing. Edit: the ability to LIKE or DISLIKE any comments is disabled, which is half if the experience. Original review: The text is way too small in the comments section and every time you press “like” it opens up a box and you have to press “like” again. Small annoyance, but it gets old having that extra step every single time. Plus, the box that opens has 4 options: like/ dislike/ reply and one other I can’t think of right now, so it’s easy to press the dislike option when you meant to select the “like” option because the text is so small. Other than that, it’s a great app and there are no ads.

“I’ve rated the app with full stars, but I have some suggestions. First, I recommend adding a feature to play only the audio without the video to help conserve battery. I hope you can add this as a second option. Secondly, it would be great to add some themes for the player and to address the issues of power consumption and overheating.”

I’ve been trying to break free of all the dopaminergic scrolling and this app solves that problem. I only search what I need to learn. Keeps me much more productive! Also to the developers: I don’t mind the ads but PLEASE add a life time unlock option for like $20-$30. I think you will be surprised how many people will choose that option.

YT had made itself unwatchable with the super long constant and often times inappropriate ads that it would play. This is a much better option and I am very happy to have found it! Being able to use Picture in Picture is also amazing. Thank you so much!

I only used it for 5min and I already like it, the fact that I don’t have to watch the commercials anymore is the best part, but now you can also play the videos when the screen is off and you also get picture on picture

The app is good , but the ad system is too much bad . You are forced to see the full video ad of almost 20-30 sec . When you are not interested to install an app or game , seeing 30 sec doesn’t have any effect on your decision. 5-6 second is enough to decide if you are interested in it . The boring candy clash ad is coming and coming with 30 seconds, while I not interested in it. After seeing forcefully it’s ad, now I truly hate this game. There should be an option to skip after 5-6 seconds to skip the ad .

They lie to you and tell you the ads are unobtrusive. They start out this way and get more aggressive over time. At first you can skip them, then you gotta wait 5 seconds, then 10 seconds. Then they start showing ads where the cancel button is harder and harder to find. Now I’m at a point where an ads will just keep playing and I can’t even find a stop or cancel button. Don’t waste your time and certainly don’t give them your money for these dishonest tactics.

Been using the app for a few weeks now, and it’s everything it promises. Unfortunately, sometimes the ads it shows when starting up are unclosable; the x button just refuses to work. Sometimes you close the app, get a different ad and it works, other times you get the same broken ad over and over making the app unusable.

So, I love this app a lot. There are a few important features I need that Video Lite is unfortunately missing. Pressing F to toggle full screen view would be great. There’s currently no way to skip forwards and backwards using the J and L keys. Luckily I have a dedicated media pause and play button, but I imagine many users would appreciate K for pause and play.

No more pointless ads from annoying companies! Even with the ad version it doesnt disturb me at all as a ad only appears when u open the app and i notice they appear on long videos that i fall asleep too 😅. Thank you for your hard work to provide this app to everyone.

An app that lets you watch videos without the endless, pointless, annoying ads! Also, the fact that I can watch a video AND play a game or run literally any other app is literally chef’s kiss….The only downside is that I have to keep logging in to YT but….not complaining…I’ll live with it. Possible user error anyway TBH

I got reffered here and its the best app . I get no ads , play my music while turning off my phone and just grateful to have a developer be giving to humanity . Make like easier . Whoever sees this review , its a must have , I hope he keeps building and does not get taken down . 🤙

If you’re not a paid member please give it a try it’s worth it. Second thing if Developers adds an option to change speed all the way to 2.5 or 3 for playback that would be much needed and appreciated for some videos. All and all wonderful and best ever.

This is my favorite app. The developer is very friendly and responsive on the app’s Discord server. I love how this app is smooth and easy to navigate. Now I can listen to music or ASMR at night, I can leave the app and I won’t be woken up by ads… I tell everyone I can to download this because it’s made my life so much easier.

Was a 5 and then it introduced before use ads that were only when you first open the app. I understand a small number of select ads, but… Now there are ads between videos and these are difficult to stop mute or skip. You were my go to, because YT is ad insane. you are headed in that direction. Time to move to another app I guess…hate that

I’m surprised by how fluidly this app runs but the only downside that I have is that it doesn’t support 4K video which many videos have nowadays. The comment section is also a little glitchy at times but video playback is smooth

This is again a really cool apps, but two new issues are causing interruptions in the viewing experience: 1- on iPhone, when in landscape mode, as soon as the video ends, the video mode reverts back to portrait mode and the video starts again instead of keeping stopped or paused. Same issue on iPad as well. 2- in iPad, one should be able to pan two fingers to expand the video screen into full screen mode, however, this gesture FAILS 90% of the time, forcing one to manually switch to full screen mode by pressing on the square at the bottom right of the video window. Keep up the good work. Love the app nonetheless :)

Hard to find a decent chrome casting app, they usually limit video quality unless you pay them like 5 a month lol. Thanks for an app that functions well, and has an easy to navigate internet and menus!

This was very cool because they had all of the different things that I like social media so the was an boost so I can go to different apps in a matter of second over all this was on off the best apps I’ve had in a long time keep this up because this is very cool!!!

Just trying out this app after seeing a recommendation on Instagram. It evidently does allow you to watch without commercials! I hope this doesn’t change in the future.

Why do you have to pay just to change the start page and icons now? I really hate that part, I don't think it's fair and I'd love it again if you could please take off the having to pay just to change them.

Edit! Stop updating his app! You ruined it again and now videos won’t play at all ! This app was fantastic until your latest update. Now it freezes anytime you use it. I wonder if developers even take the time to use their own app after releasing it to the public ..please fix this horrible update and I’ll take this down Update - you guys fixed this problem and as promised I changed my review ..thank you for listening to your customers

I use the app just to listen music without the ads and has work pretty well for me but now outta no where it doesn’t work when I use my cellular data every video I click just says “ this content is available” but when I use wifi it works just fine but everything else is working good for me

It's been years I'm looking for an app like this, and finally, I found it. No ads that is the best thing, and the other good thing is, you can turn off your screen or navigate in the screen and the app still working in.

MashAllah brother appreciate your hard work you made our life easy we are living in a 3rd world countries as a full time student we aren't allowed to use international currency card, so it is very helpful to us. Thank you so much may Allah bless you my brother.

The app is silky smooth and intuitive yet sleek design. I’m in awe from how far ahead the experience is from all of the opportunities. Thank you for making my life better

I’ve been using the app for several months. With the latest version, the ads are much more aggressive and lengthy—now pop ups from the App Store are forced upon you, and there are 2-3 back to back ads each ad cycle. If anymore are added, or they become even more aggressive, I’ll be moving to a different app.

App is perfect!! I do not know when last I even opened my official YT app. Love the fact that there’s a 1.1x speed!! Unfortunately, when changed to 1.1x speed, the quality of the vocals diminishes (sounds distorted). Please fix as soon as you can.

it make easy to use youtube,,,and it also have sleep timer........a big thanks to creator.i wish you will serve us without purchases. a lots of love for your team.❤️❤️❤️

An unnecessary feature got added after the update .. When I try to rotate my screen by pressing rotate button it shows 3 option which I find irritating. Please remove it. Bring back 1 tap rotate option.

Didn’t know this existed! Was using an alternative ad free YT app before but this one is so much better, runs super smoothly! And plays in the background if needed which is a great feature. If this remains the same I’ll keep using this forever!

For some reason, even when connected to 5G data or WiFi, videos that were playing in 1080p before switch to 144p if I go to another app and then come back to video lite

I’m new to this app and am still learning how to use it. I was prompted to write a review so I did. I’m gonna revise this review after I completely read up on it and get it working.

Used to be flawless. Now it hits you with 14 sec ads sometimes and will play ads forever if you don’t skip them when you open the app. The recent update makes the audio cut out for 15 secs unless you rewind. It’s very unfortunate as this app was flawless. If you could get the version from a year ago and never update, you’d be in heaven.

Although this is a great alternative to watch videos in YT. I specifically downloaded this to use the downloads feature. I put all those stupid extras it makes you out and when I go through the download process there’s no video on my phone or in the R+download shortcuts. If they fix this or just make it easier to use it would be cool. Anyway it’s a one because the download mechanism is broken and that’s the only purpose I wanted this.

Now there’s a tiny issue that barely appears but I prefer to get it fixed. Sometimes it would pause in the middle of a video and I have to backwards and forwards the video to get it working again. So would you fix it for me?

I don’t usually write reviews but this is the best app ever!! Thank you so much for your hard word. Hope everything works well for the people creating this app and that both of the side of your pillows will be cold tonight! ✌🏻🤍

Love this app. Can you add widget interface for home screen and Lock Screen controls for Lock Screen and access to fast forward like SoundCloud in Lock Screen. Thanks

I recently moved to ios and I was upset how there are no apks here. I did alot of seasoning to finally come to this app. If you ever used vanced yt then this is right up your alley. I even subbed to the dollar fifty every 3 months. That’s nothing for the result i will be getting.
