This (was) the best floating app ever. Thank you for making this magnificent player. An on screen sharebutton would be perfect. Edit 4: Can't adjust screen size anymore. the full screen button is not visible anymore *Edited 2 now. Has floattube been sold? quite a few errors which might have to do with my phone though. Too many adds which can't be skipped due to the errors.

I compare this app with other apps to and this one is the best, but fix screen size is always on is kinda annoying, & with the 3 different color buttons on the top of my pip screen, I hope u add it as an option in setting, so if I don't want it I can, turn it off . I love to help this app by watching ads, no problem about that and there's not much of ads anyway so, I really loved this keep it up,

AMAZING app. I've been using it for years now. my only note is that if I shut off my screen when I turn it back on the video unpauses immediately even if I paused it before turning my screen off, but that's nothing and doesn't take away a star. 10/10 recommended for everyone. I bring it up to people in my life all the time. it's my main way to watch long YouTube videos. thank you so much for making it.

I love it! But there was a glitch when you open the float tube from being minimize. Glitch bottom corner part of the phone. Also could you please add another option for minimizing? Make it circle for easy touch. Im not saying to get rid of small box, but just add some options, Thank you. Edit: Also please fix bugs. Some of the buttons are just randomly tapping.

The best floating youtube app out there. I've used almost all and found this to be the most stable and does all the basic functions intuitively. So why the 1 less star? The title of the app says there's no ad. But there is! When the floating window opens from the full screen mode, it flashes a full screen ad. I get the need to generate revenue for your hardwork. Update : there are many users like me who are willing to pay a one time price for this product without ads. Just make it an option?

This app is good, with the float feature so we can listen or play any video on the background without sometimes any adds but mostly there is still one or two. The only thing i kinda find it lack is how the float video cannot be played automatically on the next one if you didn't set it on the list beforehand. There is a lot of technical problem lately, it became less convenient to use it.

App is fine for using a minimised picture so you can do other things on your phone while still listening to the vid. However, the phone screen must be on at all times so you run the risk of screen burn unless you turn the brightness way down. Also if i close the app mid way through a video and restart the same video again. It starts from the beginning, so annoying! I don't know why the option to watch something from where you left off was removed.

Very nice. Some drawbacks I see: 1. The minimized window cannot be resized 2. I would round the corners of the minimized window a little bit. It looks too sharp. 3. I would like to close the screen off, but the sound continues to play 4. The transition between the windows is awful. I cannot go back directly from the minimized to the full screen Besides that everything looks great 👍

Minor bugs can be a bit frustrating, but they're not impossible to deal with. As of now, clicking any video on the home page or in your subscription box will refuse to play the video. To get around this, you'd have to save the video to your "watch later" playlist and then play it from there. I also noticed that the "feedback" button in settings doesn't actually take you anywhere right now, which is a shame. Overall, still a worthwhile app.

it's pretty clunky for what it is. Either through unnecessary buffering before your video plays. if you catch an in-between where you try to select something then an ad plays it freezes the whole deal. the reason I'm giving it two stars instead of one is cause it still does it's purpose but not smooth in the slightest. oh and their little stupid 'tutorial' of how to operate the app despite it being completely self explanatory. it's hecking YouTube. Edit: just dunk the money for a proper service.

When I first got the link from a video that I saw, took me to a place where I had to check a box. No matter what I did, it was impossible to continue. I contacted source and they could not find a problem. Weeks later I tried again but used the same link and same results. Another few weeks ago by and I see an app for Float and had no problems it is very easy to download and works.

Biggest gripe is that YouTube links don't copy properly. This is because YT is running as desktop browser in this, but I'd like something for that if possible. A few bugs, less polish than the offiical- some missing features. Occasionally will play with screen off, otherwise it won't, and this is universally the opposite of what you wanted. Another system wide ad blocker seems to work and the 'no dark theme' is a bit misleading considering that any subwindow accepts the YouTube setting. 9/10

I really do like the app. It is the best one to listen to music on YouTube. But I only give it 2 stars because I've used this app for years and they never fixed the main problem. It's honestly the browsing. It just feels clunky and glitchy. It makes it hard to use and hard to navigate on a phone. I now just use the YouTube app and open to float via sharing. It's easier that way, but annoying lots to click. I wish they'd just invest in an updated ui.

This floating player is the best one I've found. I like to watch or listen to videos while doing other things. I've been using Ad Block for watching videos because the ads have gotten overbearing. It has a pop out window function, but it is finicky. This app has a much better floating window feature and, so far, I haven't had any ads either. I'm losing my mind at how great this is. I am no longer aggravated 20 times a day. My relationships and lifestyle have dramatically improved. Five stars!

New to the app, but great concept. I feel like I'm getting hit by a breif tutorial at first, but it's super helpful and gets you up to speed asap. Was great for the first day, but now I'm being riddled with ads at every click causing it to crash. I got this thinking it was an adblocker, and had no ads yesterday. I liked the playlist feature, but adding anything to it took a lot of steps, and I couldn't rearrange the order any of the playlists, nor the order of the songs within them.

The main issue and the most important one is the fact that it will not play in background. As soon as I turn my screen off it also goes off !!!!! It defeats the purpose to save the battery while YouTube is playing. Previous versions allowed this but not now. This makes it useless !!!!; Do not waste your time and install it until this serious flaw is fixed.

Amazing with one exception. The "shuffle" function in YouTube playlists seems to not work at all. Pressing shuffle starts the playlist in the same song each time,then after a while it goes back to just playing the songs in order, which isn't supposed to happen. A fix to this would make the app a 5 star.
