Features

  1. Cercube:
  • Block all advertisements & Enable background playback.

  • Set default player quality on WiFi & Celullar.

  • Save videos in high resolution, save videos as audio-only, save public playlists (beta).

  • And many more...

  1. iSponsorBlock: Skips annoying sponsor ads inside videos. iSponsorBlock is based on SponsorBlock engine. Basically, this is the iOS version of the SponsorBlock extension.

  2. YouPiP: enable YouTube's native PiP. More options are in YouTube Settings => General.

  3. YTUHD: unlock VP9 codec and in effect, enables video quality of 2K and 4K. You can configure YTUHD in YouTube's Settings - Video quality preferences.

  4. YouTube Dislike Return: brings back Dislike counts under YouTube videos using ReturnYoutubeDislike's API.

and many more...!
  1. YTClassicVideoQuality: since YouTube v16.xx, you need one more step to change the video quality. YTClassicVideoQuality brings back the old video quality selector, which is a lot better than the new one.

  2. YTNoHoverCards: offer an option to enable/disable the annoying suggested videos show up at the end of the videos.

  3. YTABGoodies: allow you to disable some YouTube A/B testing features. It is a combination of several tweaks, such as:

  • YouAreThere: disable "Video paused. Continue watching?" popup in the YouTube app when you play a long video.

  • YouRememberCaption: make YouTube remember your video caption setting (if not already).

  • YTNoCheckLocalNetwork: block the Local Network permission popup.

  1. NOYTPremium: remove YouTube Premium upsell alerts.

  2. YTSpeed: add 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, and 3x playback speed

  3. YTMiniplayerEnabler: enable Miniplayer for all YouTube videos.

  4. DontEatMyContent: prevent the notch/Dynamic Island from munching on 2:1 video content in YouTube.

  5. YTShortsProgress: always enable progress bar and scrubbing in YouTube Shorts (iPhone only).

  6. YTABConfig: allow user to control over YouTube A/B testing flags.

any many more...

Known issues

  1. Cercube: Hide Cast button is not working. (Workaround: Hide cast button in CercubePlus settings)

  2. YTUHD: Stuttering on 4K videos.

  3. YouPiP (iOS 14.0 - 14.4.2): due to Apple's fault, you may encounter the speedup-bug as described here. The bug also happens when you try to play multi-sources of sound at the same time. Enable LegacyPiP is a workaround. Keep in mind that LegacyPiP also removes UHD quality and breaks YouTube Autoplay next. Use it at your own risk!

  4. Not a bug:

  • The app won't be able to receive push notifications if you use a free developer account to sideload it.

  • It's impossible to fix deep-link (a.k.a Open in the YouTube app). However, you can use this Shortcuts as a workaround (tested on iOS 14). Credit: RandomAccessMemories#5025
