The app is good in all until you close it using the designated play in background. When I do that the music plays in the background for a good ten seconds before I open another app with no volume and the app suddenly closes and I have to reopen the entire thing and find my music all over again. Getting an add on top. Fix this issue and I'll give five stars.

Nice but there's two ads, one coming from You Tube and the other coming from the app itself. There are already web browsers like Brave and Firefox which also has background audio playback and plus it has ad block. Would like it if this app could block or reduce the ads. Also, I would have liked to see a "repeat" or loop button to play the YouTube video on a continuous loop. Also I hope this app still supports Android 7 in the future (I am using an old phone).

We are sorry for this, but to continue work on this free app we need revenue from Ads. If you don't want to see the Ads you can purchase the Pro version. Thanks for your understanding!

App doesn't work at all, when you tap YouTube or YouTube Music (those are the only two options--no Spotify as advertised) its just white! Also, it asked for my microphone permission some odd reason. Also, the app has ads. I downloaded it because I thought it didnt because apps with ads in the google playstore are typically marked with a "Contains ads" note below the dev name, but they didn't mark it as such. Disappointed, but this could be a great app if it worked.
