The app YouTube it allows to sign up videos to watch later, but there aren’t many options available for organizing them. This is where it comes into play Play, a companion app to third parts which allows you to create your YouTube video library as if it were a RSS reader and even access videos directly from home screen of your iPhone, iPad or Mac (by the way, do you know how to download videos from YouTube?).
Launched last year by Marcos Tanaka (who some may know from MusicHarbor), the app has now been updated to version 2.0which adds a series of new features, including the highly requested possibility of follow channels and organize them into folders (read also: how to deactivate and delete YouTube history).
The main news of Play 2.0 I’m the new button Channels (Channels), which allows you not only to add and eliminate their own favorite channelsbut also to manage the videos of these channels.
This allows you to immediately have the content published by your favorite creator available, as well as the possibility of saving the videos you want to see and deleting the rest.
After adding some channels, in fact theirs will be seen latest videos listed chronologically in the channels folder, and from here you can swipe left to add a video to the saved list or to the right to delete it.

But not only. There are also gods filters, accessible from the three-dot menu in Channels, which allows you to filter videos by keyword in the title or in the descriptionor in the frequency with which new videos are added to a channel. The filter of frequency, that is called “Slow feeds only“, works very similarly to the function of the same name that you can find in some RSS readers, as it limits videos to those of channels that publish less than the average of all those you follow in the last 30 days.
Which allows us to highlight them above the others.
Another new feature coming with Play 2.0 it is the organization of folders, which is added to the tags already present. Both can be combined to create one folder and organize it with tags, for better organization of your library. And for users Mac, the app macOS now has a built-in video player.
Also with Play 2.0 Tanaka also changed the model of subscription. There are now two versions of the Play app: Basic, which costs 2.99 euros lump sum and offers the features of the original version, e Premium, which adds new features and costs 2.99 euros per month.
You can find Play on the App Store, and it is compatible for iPhone, iPad and Mac
