NewPipe : A lightweight Youtube frontend for Android.
NewPipe is open source app which supports YouTube at the moment, it’s designed to support many more streaming services. The plan is, that NewPipe will get such support by the version 2.0.
NewPipe has simple UI and the best feature I liked was playing youtube videos in background.
NewPipe does not use any Google framework libraries, or the YouTube API. It only parses the website in order to gain the information it needs. Therefore this app can be used on devices without Google Services installed. Also, you don’t need a YouTube account to use NewPipe, and it’s FLOSS.
