NewPipe 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 NewPipe, and it's FLOSS.

WhatsNew:

• Increased minimum Android version to 6.0
• Fixed bugs with importing subscriptions
• Fixed multiple bugs with video playback
• Fixed a bug that prevented opening downloads in other app
• Translation updates

Hint: This app is available in both, F-Droid Main and IzzyOnDroid repos.

Anti-Features:

NonFreeNet (this application promotes/depends a non-Free network service):
⇒ Depends on Youtube for videos.

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.
