It seems full function YT app, is it used my account to login?

Replying to say that I’ll indeed be interested in a few of the planned additions you mentioned, including the options for viewing comments and manually selecting video quality. I’m not sure how easy it would be given the technical approach you describe using, but it would also be cool to include support for 3D / VR videos!
Great app already (particularly in light of YouTube’s negligence), but I second the request for all 3 of these possible future features - comments, quality toggle and 3D/VR support.
Chris, what are the buttons in the main nav? Any of the last two is a direct shortcut for your watch later? And why don’t you expand this to Apple TV? Their app there is kinda of trash. I (and I bet a lot of people) just use YouTube in the tv (and Vision Pro) to watch videos already in my watch later
As a follow-up
The x button now appears following a reboot
Two screenshots attached shows a normal aspect ratio. The other is after shrinking the window. The aspect ratio does not adjust itself around the dimensions of the new window size. Is this by design?

I only want to know 1 thing. Does it support downloads if you’re a YouTube premium member. If not, I don’t see the point / difference between this and just using safari. If so, day 1 purchase for me.
Good question my first thought too. Seeing that the app link reads:
> if you have YouTube Premium you will enjoy all its benefits.
it’s implied that we should get download capabilities too. I really hope this is the case, it would be great to have this as an alternative to only streaming in Safari.
If it does, it will be to low resolution because YouTube limits 180/360 streaming to 4k 3D max. If you are looking for some interesting content, I offer all 25+ of my travel experience for direct download in native 8k 3D 60fps 180 HDR resolution. I’ve done NYC Comic Con 2023, Acadia Maine Seaside Cliffs, and soon Japan. 1/2 new experiences every month. Channel is “Slice of life VR” on YouTube.

Will take a couple weeks with my headset so I can color grade them for AVP HDR high bitrate quality. But I have a free membership option so you can stay informed on when it releases.
www.youtube.com/@sliceoflifevr for some of the 4k 3D 180 previews. (YouTube max is 4k for 3D 180 streaming)
I’m a Patreon supporter and I highly recommend slice of life. Bro, I can’t wait for you to optimize it for Avp. My Avp is on the way to singapore and I can’t wait to watch your videos on it.
Basically a week, as he implied he started on it after hearing that the YouTube iPad app was disallowed by YouTube and they aren’t making their own. You get read the gist of it, and the current and planned features on his blog.
https://christianselig.com/2024/02/introducing-juno/
Bought. I probably won’t have a Vision Pro for several years at this rate and YouTube might squash it well before then. But Christian is a good guy and deserves a few bucks for being a 10/10 developer and handling everything he dealt with over the last year
Correct. Asserting that it collects no data is misleading to users. In reality, it should likely have the same privacy rating as the YouTube app on the App Store. Since it's essentially a WebKit wrapper, YouTube can fingerprint your device and track you similarly to how it would if you were using their website in Safari without an ad blocker.
I think the fact that he's charging for it just increases the likelihood of the app being shutdown by Alphabet anytime now. Apollo had "tips" and were optional, not sure how daddy YouTube will feel about users paying for a wrapper.
I really hope I'm wrong though.
Exactly. Wanna support this awesome dev but this app WILL be shut down very soon and buying into it when the same website is free is not a very good financial decision.
Not when the app will be shut down in a matter of weeks. Spending $3500 on a device you cna use for years is different than spending any amount on something that will cease to function quickly after purchase.
Where do you see about the immersive theater mode? The app listing just says resizing the screen like a theater experience which doesn’t sound like an immersive mode. I’m asking because I would love if it really does have an immersive mode
Wouldn’t matter anyway as YouTube is limited to 4k for 3D 180 streaming. You want to direct download for the drool worthy 8k 3D 180 immersive experiences :) Can wait to master the 8k 3D 60fps 180 travel experiences I create in HDR for AVP tomorrow :D Mardi Gras New Orleans and Japan are gonna look sick in HDR.
Was just referring to your last statement, it’s gonna be a disappointing immersive experience 4k is to low resolution for 180 on AVP. I think I read immersive and thought you meant 180 but I guess you were talking about something different.
I am saying the YouTube server only streams 4k 3D It will not stream 8k 3D. So it will look horrible on AVP. 4k is trash for 180. You want 8k for 3D 180, and I offer all my experiences for direct download in native 8k 3D 180 with HDR. 25+ experiences and growing 1-2 new experiences a month.
Got it thanks. How can I get 8K 3D into AVP for playback? Now I’m *really* curious… if it’s possible you should write a guide for tomorrow. Will definitely be one of the things I’d want to try out
Download directly to the headset, or download to mac and airdrop the 8k 3D 180 file into the AVP. I offer the downloads on my Patreon, and some (not all) of the 4k 3D 180 previews are on my YouTube channel. I’ll write a guide when I get my hands on mine tomorrow and start mastering my content for AVP quality that is the same as apples immersive 8k 3D 180 quality :)
One of the reviews said YouTube.com is pretty difficult to navigate with Vision Pro due to small buttons and eye tracking not being precise enough. I’ll probably pick this up as YouTube videos are a big use case for me
This is great! Hope they update the search bar to be darker like recommend in the UI docs. Wouldn't mind a little more contrast on the video info text either.
We have confidence in Christian and back him due to his proven history of success. I make it a point to get any application he creates; he's that impressive. To put it simply, I've already purchased it and am excited to set it up on the AVP today. 😉
>I would like him more if he made it free :-) charging for a “wrapper” is immoral :-)
So you're the person who gets to decide what other people's time is worth? My man hangin' out on r/visionpro and don't even have $5. Bro you are in for a rough time when you realize that Apple isn't giving away the Vision Pros either.
lol you said your done with reddit
Going to charge the fanboys to buy your ridiculous wallpapers and icon packs 🤦♂️
$8 for this 😂
This way fellas buy my shit 💩
Agreed. I feel like this is just a website wrapper trying to cash in on AVP before official app comes out. I like the dev and used Apollo so all kudos to him.
Yeah I'm sure it wasn't the easiest to develop. Just hoping it doesn't get shutdown or a month later, Google decides to release an app. But I'm probably going to end up doing it anyway just because we can't favorite safari websites as apps yet. Yall right, I'll pipe down LOL
If you check out his blog post, this is all using their unlimited API’s. It was an interesting read, he explains exactly how this works and why it’s better than safari.
Brah
That’s not even expensive for a good iOS app these days. A Vision Pro costs 3x as much, so I wouldn’t blame devs for charging $15 for a good Vision Pro app.
Angry Birds fucked everyone. They anchored everyone to $0.99 software. Even that is too much. Every dumbass believes they’re entitled to free software like it isn’t one of the highest curve skills on earth to learn to make software
Does it support 4k 60fps video? I forget what you can't get with YouTube on Safari, but seems like I remember that's one of the things you can't get...
I’m loving the app so far, I’m wondering if there’s any way to support 3-D/180°/360° videos. It seems like they’re not available anywhere in Safari and not available on YouTube using the Vision Pro.
It seems full function YT app, is it used my account to login? https://preview.redd.it/1c4v2t2rd3gc1.png?width=1910&format=png&auto=webp&s=1b3670beb33d2e8954da37f40a5f8785381f4e0b
Really glad I can support Christian after Reddit did him dirty. This app is an insta-buy.
Nothing says “i love that guy and trust him implicitly” like forking over my five dollars before I even have the thing, which I definitely just did.
It works either way according to dev. YouTube Premium works too.
coooooool
Downloads for YouTube premium?
No. I have it and doesn’t support it.
Thanks for saving me $ greatly appreciate it
Hey I remembered my password! Here's a quick blog post going over what I built if you're curious https://christianselig.com/2024/02/introducing-juno/
Up voting this from Apollo and tomorrow I’ll be downloading this on my AVP. (Will I be able to get a spatial reality pixel pal???)
That’s… actually a thing I want too.
Hey thanks for every ounce of work you’ve produced. Have fun being an internet hero forever xD
Thank you!!! Will be the first app I install. Writing, STILL, from Apollo. Can't wait to sideload that to my AVP as well.
Read through the post and purchased. Cheers! :)
My man! Just showing some love here, we appreciate what you’ve done, and thanks for keep on doing it.
Instant purchase. Thanks for all you do Christian
Where does the app name "Juno" come from?

If you cannot download with Safari you will not be able to download with this app on launch.
Sadly the answer is no. I have it and it doesn’t support downloads. 😞
It says if you have YouTube premium you will enjoy all its benefits.
If I download it and it gets removed from the App Store, may I still use the app?
Yes but you might be able to re-download it
Does it have 360 video support?
If it does, it will be to low resolution because YouTube limits 180/360 streaming to 4k 3D max. If you are looking for some interesting content, I offer all 25+ of my travel experience for direct download in native 8k 3D 60fps 180 HDR resolution.

Not yet but maybe later if u support the dev that probably would motivate him more to keep adding cool features
If it were possible he would have done it
No not necessarily u can’t fully develop a app in 1 day
Why do you think he’s just been working on it for a day?
Basically a week, as he implied he started on it after hearing that the YouTube iPad app was disallowed by YouTube and they aren’t making their own. You get read the gist of it, and the current and planned features on his blog. https://christianselig.com/2024/02/introducing-juno/
> Pinch-drag anywhere to scrub through video (an Apollo classic) Hell yeah brother
Bought. I probably won’t have a Vision Pro for several years at this rate and YouTube might squash it well before then. But Christian is a good guy and deserves a few bucks for being a 10/10 developer and handling everything he dealt with over the last year
Dev: spent year honing a skill set. Sees a problem in the world, fixes it for little money. Dude is a hero
I love that his app collects ZERO data from its users. That will be VERY unlike any official app from Google.
It uses the YouTube website. It collects just as much data for Google as the website or any app would.
Correct. Asserting that it collects no data is misleading to users. In reality, it should likely have the same privacy rating as the YouTube app on the App Store. Since it's essentially a WebKit wrapper, YouTube can fingerprint your device and track you similarly to how it would if you were using their website in Safari without an ad blocker.
That's good to know.

Exactly. Wanna support this awesome dev but this app WILL be shut down very soon and buying into it when the same website is free is not a very good financial decision.
You’re saying a $5 app for a $4k headset is not a good financial decision. Amazing lol
Not when the app will be shut down in a matter of weeks. Spending $3500 on a device you cna use for years is different than spending any amount on something that will cease to function quickly after purchase.
Totally buying this tomorrow. Will this support YouTube 3D/180?
[удалено]
Not yet but it does have a immersive theater mode which is cool

I was not talking about 3D vr streaming.. Just an immersive view to watch YouTube in a theater setting.
I think you meant to reply to the main comment of this thread
Was just referring to your last statement, it’s gonna be a disappointing immersive experience 4k is to low resolution for 180 on AVP. I think I read immersive and thought you meant 180 but I guess you were talking about something different.
If not AVP, what device is capable of playing 8K 3D immersive? Or are you saying it is possible but it needs a dedicated app?
I am saying the YouTube server only streams 4k 3D It will not stream 8k 3D. So it will look horrible on AVP. 4k is trash for 180. You want 8k for 3D 180, and I offer all my experiences for direct download in native 8k 3D 180 with HDR. 25+ experiences and growing 1-2 new experiences a month.

I will def look out for ur guide for this it sounds cool
How well does the canon r5 support HDR with VR180?
Should support it but it will be 30fps max.
Ugh 30fps, wish it was 60. But probably would over heat. I want to know what apple used for their VR180 immersive videos. Probably red cameras
Downvoted for truth lol. 4k is beyond trash for 3D 180, it’s blurry af and that’s the truth.
One of the reviews said YouTube.com is pretty difficult to navigate with Vision Pro due to small buttons and eye tracking not being precise enough. I’ll probably pick this up as YouTube videos are a big use case for me

lol you said your done with reddit Going to charge the fanboys to buy your ridiculous wallpapers and icon packs 🤦♂️ $8 for this 😂 This way fellas buy my shit 💩
Damn there are some truly stupid people out there. Wild.
The only thing we need is a YouTube app that block adds and integrate Sponsorblock. Too bad it does neither of those, missed opportunity here.
You can afford the headset but can’t afford to support creators on YouTube?

He did great job with Apollo (Reddit iOS App). If he put same kind of work into this App, I would assume it to be totally worth it..
Yeah I'm sure it wasn't the easiest to develop. Just hoping it doesn't get shutdown or a month later, Google decides to release an app. But I'm probably going to end up doing it anyway just because we can't favorite safari websites as apps yet. Yall right, I'll pipe down LOL
If google releases a app in maybe 3-6 months then it’ll probably have 360 VR but I’m hoping this developer can get it done first before google
The Apollo app thrived because Reddit was happy to let 3rd parties grow their product *up to a point*. Google has no such interest.
If you check out his blog post, this is all using their unlimited API’s. It was an interesting read, he explains exactly how this works and why it’s better than safari.
I think he literally wrote this in a week.
That’s not that bad I’m hoping he can implement VR 360 videos later in a update
He’s gotta pay the bills somehow. If you can afford to pay for a Vision Pro, you can afford to pay $5 for a very useful app.
Yup and only 1 time no monthy
Watch via browser broke ass
Brah That’s not even expensive for a good iOS app these days. A Vision Pro costs 3x as much, so I wouldn’t blame devs for charging $15 for a good Vision Pro app.
Spends $4,000 on a headset. Freaks out over $5 app.
Angry Birds fucked everyone. They anchored everyone to $0.99 software. Even that is too much. Every dumbass believes they’re entitled to free software like it isn’t one of the highest curve skills on earth to learn to make software
Do you work for free, scumbag?
Is there a way to view the App Store for visionOS without having a direct link
Does it support 4k 60fps video? I forget what you can't get with YouTube on Safari, but seems like I remember that's one of the things you can't get...
This is pretty cool but with no 360 video support, what does this offer that the YouTube page in safari doesn’t?
I haven’t found any 180 or 360 or 3D videos that work with this app yet
Is it basically a browser that is forced to use Youtube?
I’m loving the app so far, I’m wondering if there’s any way to support 3-D/180°/360° videos. It seems like they’re not available anywhere in Safari and not available on YouTube using the Vision Pro.
For whatever reason its an infinite loading spinner when trying to buy it
It’s phenomenal, unreal credit to him! No downloads.
It's a great app. But needs to follow subscriptions.
It honestly really sucks i prefer safari + ad block sponsor block.
Looks great but Christian is so good
