Tubular is a fork of NewPipe. It comes with all the privacy features of NewPipe, but also adds features from SponsorBlock and ReturnYouTubeDislike. Like NewPipe, it 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 Tubular, and it's FLOSS.

WhatsNew:

[Tubular]

New
• "Shuffle and play" menu option for playlists
• Option to show dislikes as a percentage

Improved
• Streamlined the release process with Github Actions (thanks @thekyber)

Fixed
• The database should now be exportable to vanilla NewPipe (this breaks the SponsorBlock whitelist functionality and will be fixed in a later version)
• Changed some graphics to be specific to Tubular
• Privacy-related changes to comply with FDroid rules
• No longer crashing when attempting to send a cras

Anti-Features:

NonFreeNet (this application promotes/depends a non-Free network service):
⇒ The app uses YouTube as source for its contents.

Download Source Issues ChangeLog

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
