I recently discovered SmartTube Next for Android TV to get an ad free experience and integrated Sponsorblock on my Nvidia Shield TV.

I found NewPipe for my phone but I don’t see a way to connect my YouTube account to it and I guess I need to import my subs manually every time I change something.

So I’m wondering if there is an alternative YouTube app that is blocking ads (and ideally integrates Sponsorblock) for my smartphone and has the ability to connect my YouTube account like SmartTube Next does?

    Get the izzyonfdroid version of libretube though, the version on the main fdroid repo is broken

      I will never use Izzyonfdroid and you shouldn’t either. It is a cheap alternative to high free software standards. It bypasses the verification process of the main F-droid repo.

      As for Libretube it was just updated in the F-droid main repo recently. It works fine for me.
