As this app is still in the alpha stage, you may and will encounter crashes and other bugs. If you find one of those, it would be helpful to open an issue on the GitHub repository. |
Features
- Multiple resolutions for New 3DS, up to 360p
- This might be expanded in future versions, but the 3DS' hardware is the main limiting factor
- Old model 3DS are limited to 144p only
- Support for livestreams and premiered videos
- Searching
- Video suggestions
- Comments
- Captions
- Local watch history and channel subscription
- No ads
- This is due to the app only using YouTube's API, and is not due to ad-blockers. The creator does not plan to add their own ads at this time.
