Tubular is a fork of the popular NewPipe application, which is a privacy-focused YouTube client for Android. Tubular enhances the original experience by integrating SponsorBlock, allowing users to automatically skip sponsored segments in videos, and Return YouTube Dislike, which restores the visibility of dislike counts. Like NewPipe, it does not use the official YouTube API, meaning it runs without Google Play Services and does not require a YouTube account.
The app retains all the core features of NewPipe, such as background playback, pop-up (picture-in-picture) mode, and the ability to download video and audio files. It also supports 4K/2K playback and offers a lightweight, ad-free viewing experience. Tubular is an excellent choice for users who want the functionality of NewPipe combined with modern community-driven features like sponsor skipping and dislike stats.
