Watching YouTube videos for free through its official applications means accepting batches of advertising before or during playback, a situation that can only be changed by hiring a YouTube Premium plan.
This plan offers many benefits to frequent YouTube users, especially those who own smartphones, as it allows you to download content, play videos with the screen off, etc. However, it is a luxury that not all of us can afford.
One way to solve this problem is to install unofficial YouTube clients that integrate unlocked premium features on the phone or TV. One of them is LibreTube, an open source development compatible with the Android platform.
LibreTube is one of the unofficial YouTube apps for Android with the best visual appearance thanks to the adoption of the Material You design. Its performance is also very efficient, since it does not depend on any Google service. Its main functions allow you to watch videos without ads, download and listen to YouTube content while doing other activities on the phone.
How to install LibreTube on an Android phone
LibreTube is not published in the official Google Play Store, but it has an installation file in APK format, which is very safe and easy to run once downloaded to the Android device. You just have to make sure that you enable the option to install apps from unknown sources on your Android device, which is usually located in the Settings> Security section.
Below is the download link for the LibreTube APK file published on the GitHub platform.
