Comments on Grayjay for Android

★★★★★ Sean Smith · Aug 25, 2026

This is very handy application to have! It helps to aggregate content from several video sources, and makes the process of downloading videos for offline use simple and easy. This app prioritizes long form content, respects your video quality preferences and your freedom, and is able to pull in your subscriptions from each video source and combine them together into a single interface. Thank you to the developers for this handy tool!

★★★★☆ Riccardo C. · Feb 5, 2026

Thank you so much for this application. I noticed a difference between the GitLab version and the Play Store version. The Play Store version allows you to keep two plugins installed on YouTube and Odysee but impossible to open URLs, on the other hand if I use the app from GitLab if I installed the two plugins for YouTube and Odysee when I reboot my phone the Odysee plugin is gone, and I have to reinstall every time. Thank you always for the good work and my best regards to Louis Ross man.

★★★★★ Bogdan Golubović · Jan 7, 2026

Better than native YouTube; more gestures, more features (Return YouTube Dislike, Darrow), and NO ADS! Keep up the amazing work! 💯

★☆☆☆☆ D “DN” Nono · May 15, 2026

Please add share ability for each RECOMMENDED videos because I don't want to have to play each to be able to share it. Rn u can only add it to queue instead of being able to share each recommended. In the home screen you are able to share (because of "options") but once u play a video under the recommended tab, u lose ability to share

★★☆☆☆ Riccardo C. · May 8, 2026

Just the ram consumption of this app! 1 GB of RAM? Versus New Pipe with 350 MB! That's really too much 1 GB of RAM. I won't mention the bugs on the other hand, from the notification it is impossible to repeat a track or video, you have to open the app again to do a simple thing New Pipe does natively. This happens when you are cooking too many things in one shot. Please don't ask for more details, install the app in one Pixel 8 or 9 with Android 16 and you will see by yourself!

More issues with plugins, getting a non-stop window to confirm captcha. It pops up a captcha for 1 sec then disappears to then again tell me to confirm captcha. Wth?

★☆☆☆☆ Brain Blair · Jan 28, 2026

Won't play YouTube videos requiring age verification, and now I'm getting plug in errors saying video can't play. As plug ins refuse to install saying error. Ross man your app sucks as bad as whom you criticize as you ask for pay for this app. You're a hypocrite and just like whom you criticize. And why I'll pirate this.
