      Yep, it can use your Spotify account if you want to play mport your playlists and doesn’t have ads because it fetches the music from YouTube.

      It looks like YouTube did something to their API and a bunch of apps that use it are not working, including Piped, but some solution is being worked on.

        Thanks for the second sentence actually, I decided to download the app and it looks great but it couldn’t play anything, and I was wondering if it was bc I have a Huawei phone without google services.

        Unfortunately it seems free APIs are now becoming a thing of the past :(

          Yeah, bad timing on my end to recommend it lol. From the little I read on their GitHub, I don’t think the API change was intentional to break stuff, just so happens to do so, but I could be wrong. Hopefully it gets solved soon enough, at least there is already a pull request to that fixes it.

            Naah just gotta wait until they fix it and it’ll be smooth sailing. Hope it works as well with my headphones and in the car as Spotify does.

              Hey, just a heads up, Spotube should be fixed right now when using the Youtube backend in the settings. crab-dance

              The Piped backend looks to still be broken tho.
