Youtify - Music & Playlists

When the app works properly, it’s amazing. The audio quality is good and it has every song you could look for. but that’s like 60% of the time; the other 40% of the time the app freezes and locks on one song no matter how many times you exit the app and restart it. you could click on one song to try to get it to play, but it starts playing a completely different song. it locks on one song to keep playing no matter what— for example, I would want to listen to a radiohead song so i click on it but i the same song by like taylor swift keeps playing over and over no matter how many times i click the radiohead song. the queue is a hit or miss and doesn’t usually work for me, and it keeps the same couple songs on rotation even after you click shuffle multiple times and clear your cache. overall, it’s a great app for what it is, but the bugs are annoying when the app doesn’t want to cooperate with you.

Youtify is a pretty good app. The interior look of it has a sleek and clean design, even the menu’s setup feels like everything is where it’s supposed to be. I also love how you can extract your playlists, took a load off my worry list using this app for my music; the last app I used made me do it by hand. While it does work well for song to song videos, I’ve noticed it really struggles with videos over 15 minutes. If you try to load anything over an hour, it’ll just endlessly buffer. Hopefully, that fixes soon so I can delete the other app helping me out with that, lol; birdie needs their lofi without ads. Otherwise, there are only two things I wish this app had: the ability to add cover art to a playlist, and the ability to organize your playlists alphabetically. I use them for vibes and character playlists, so those features would be magical to have.💫✨ Thanks for all the hard work, it shows. ♡

The level of personalization this app offers is rare to find these days, especially with Apple’s new restrictions on music apps. I love how much freedom it gives when it comes to discovering and organizing music. That being said, there are two things that feel a bit limiting. First, if you’re paying for premium, it would be great to have that subscription linked across devices. Since there’s no account system, everything is stored locally, meaning if you get a new device, you have to redownload all your songs manually and repurchase the subscription. Adding an account option would make it so much easier to switch between devices and keep everything personalized. Also, the app can be a bit laggy when loading songs. It’s not a dealbreaker, but improving performance would make the experience even better. Overall, the layout and design are fantastic, and this app has so much potential. I really appreciate the annual subscription option—please keep it around! :D
