Wait, why would this one app currently only being available on Android make switching a bad idea? Seems like a weird thing to base a decision that big on…
It’s more about the ability for such apps to exist. Other apps include Tachiyomi (manga reader) and similar apps that are not allowed because of the app stores terms of service.
Hopefully Apple will soon be forced to allow such apps to exist outside of their store. Freedom to install what I want is a main reason I switched back from an iPhone to a Pixel with GrapheneOS.
Thanks for the link. I’m surprised it survived Apple’s review process as I thought such apps weren’t allowed. Now I have a private YouTube altednative to recommend.
Tachiyomi relies on installing sources as additional apks because otherwise they’d have to update the app daily. This is not allowed on Play/App Store.
YouTube ReVanced and other patched apps are also great and not obviously not possible on iOS bexlcause of restrictions.
If you plan to get a new phone, get a Google Pixel and install GrapheneOS on it. By default, it doesn’t have any Google spyware services. It also has substantial security improvements compared to normal Android. It’s probably the most private and secure mobile operating system that currently exists.
For Nebula/CuriosityStream? I only remember I bought a combo membership near Christmas the last two years – they usually offer a year-long subscription for like $11 USD around the holidays. Look out for those, I really like CuriosityStream and find it’s worth it.
You can use the app for as long as you like until you decide if you want to pay.
Looks to me like it’s credit card or cashapp at the moment with crypto and carrier based options coming .

It doesn’t? Louis spends quite a bit of time going over why they aren’t fully open source and how they’ve arrived at that result.

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Good bot (and it’s also open source, the actual kind)

Only on android :/ i thought it was going to be a progressive web app
I almost switched to iPhone, thankfully this came out to show me why that is a bad idea. I just need to de-gpogle.

I dunno, I call bullshit on that because Yattee is on the app store: https://github.com/yattee/yattee

Yow! that looks pretty awesome. I installed it and added the Nebula plugin… wonder if there’s a CuriosityStream one as well?
Can you tell what payment options they offer? I can’t find info on the website, and my options are rather limited. Thank you!

I meant for the app, but it might be a good idea to pick up Nebula as well, I was thinking about that for a long time. Thanks!
It’s free my dude? Its open-source, the code is on gitlab.
Edit: My apologies, I was incorrect.

Didn’t he say in the video it’s a one time fee? Or does the fee provide additional features, and the basic app is free?
I was wrong, see the post I linked in my edit.
Thank you very much!!
