Great app, especially the youtube one. But i can't play videos anymore while my screen is turned off. It used to work, but now the video always pauses like on the official youtube app...

I used to use this app all the time but now.. ugh I really don't like it. Hope you make it able to work when the screen turns off, that was very helpful. Also it stuck too much, hope you fix this problem. Thank you :)

Love the YouTube player so much I'm hardly using the dedicated app anymore. Edit: recently seems like this app is screwing up with my device rotation. My Z3TC fails to switch to landscape in any app, including full screen landscape apps like CoC.

This app doesn't work ok my Xperia z3 android 6.01. Something about screen overlay

Well worth the ridiculously small donation he asks for. A real lifesaver for Xperia users :-) There's just a small tiny issue: the "Next Video" control on either the notification bar or the lockscreen widget doesn't jump to the next video but rather to the end of the current video (roughly 10 sec. before the end) and then goes to the next video (at least that's the case for YouTube)

Hey man great app. My first and last purchase on play store. However I have a problem after I install it and update it on your xda page. Few days later I can't find the app while browsing for it. When I check it on the app store it is already installed but I can't find it in my app main screen. Have any idea? Cheers.

It solved the problem which even Google can't solve. The only problem is that it sometimes goes step by step on a video like freezing for 0.1ms and going back... It may be because of running in background i don't know, but if you solve it, this app will be excellent!

If you close it and return to it it can even resume the video you were watching. The only thing and i don't know if even possible is to keep the video running when the screen is off

I would rate 4 but went to 5 solely cause the app is free. Besides these drawbacks everything works like a charm. You can't enable "shuffle" option on playlists longer than 100 videos (unfortunately). You can't choose the quality, it is automatic. These are the only bad things. I want to ask the developer but idk where to do that. Is this app supported by Nougat software? I want to update soon but I really need this app.

Hi, i was looking for an older version of this app at your forum (the one with the background option) but I didn't find it and I would like to know if there's an existing apk because that's "the one"... Congrats, you've done a great job with this app.

With the new Xperia having small apps removed, will you make a similar standalone app like this?

Small app works for few seconds then crashes, specially if dragged to top corner to small size

It's cool but it pauses the video when I minimize the app. You know like putting it on the edge of the screen and you only see the icon.
