Youtube is the second most popular website on the planet. That means billions of people use it to kill their free time. On average there are one trillion video views per day on Youtube. Pretty amazing, huh. Well most of us use Youtube on regular basis. Studies show that 6 out of 10 people use Youtube actively. Why shouldn't they, there are so amazing videos on youtube from every category one can think of. You can listen to music, learn something by just typing a few words in the search bar and thousands of videos related to that show-up. Heck! You can even earn with youtube by posting videos there. The great thing is that Youtube is available for all and everywhere in the world. As most of us are smartphone users, we rely on Youtube app to provide us with all the features that one may need.

But sadly Youtube is missing on some key features in most of the smartphones. Like you can't download any video at your desired location, ads while watching videos. The most annoying one, you can't play songs on youtube in the background. There are several more limitations of the original Youtube app. Newpipe is the solution to all your youtube problems.
