SmartTube Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• YouTube gets more aggressive in pushing adblock warnings with countdown timer

  Protip: You should download a non-stock YouTube app to your TV instead, for instance: https://smartyoutubetv.github.io It has YouTube premium and more, e.g. Sponsor lock, it's over all superior. And free. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• What have you given up due to the cost of living crisis?

  SmartTube is nice for the TV too if you have a firestick or something you can install it on, because as well as getting rid of ads it has sponsorblock built in. Source: 10 months ago

• Google un-bans Downloader app, but developer still mad about “broken” DMCA

  I think there might be more to this story. This app is what people generally use to sideload apps on a locked Google TV device such as the Google Chromecast. One such commonly sideloaded app is SmartTube, an unofficial YouTube client with no ads and SponsorBlock included: https://smartyoutubetv.github.io/ I'm not surprised Google is eager to take it down under any pretext, and not so eager to restore it. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
