YouTube ReVanced vs NewPipe (lemmy.world)

I've seen many people talk about how they really like using YouTube ReVanced as their main way of watching YT on their phones.

I've also seen people talk about NewPipe aswell. Personally, I use NewPipe because I can't stand the YouTube app, and I don't want to set up ReVanced for it. I just want something that works.

So to you Lemmy users, which do you use and why? What is about your choice that you like?

I use NewPipe instead of Vanced for a few months now. Aside from a bug where it can't load large playlists, it's fine, I had no problems with it, and this large list loading bug is also fixed in a random development build apk, so that's fixed.

The interface is... not the most convenient in some places, but it's no worse than the official YouTube app.

But it's good. If you don't need your account's recommendations or don't want to comment, it's perfect.

I did the change, because for a while I had to use a... weird little Android phone (Qin F22 Pro) and NewPipe was my only option to have YouTube. Since then I've got a different phone, but still stuck with NewPipe, to me it's more than enough on the phone. Mostly I use it for listening music in the background, but not exclusively.

It's an interesting plus that it can handle SoundCloud and BandCamp too.
