It’s not that it has a lot more features but the flatpak is official and it’s desktop native whereas this app is a third party that works through ATL so why bother switching.
It’d be great if these type of apps came up with a shared data format and allowed you to P2P sync with Syncthing.
Freetube on desktop Linux hasn’t worked for me for a long time - but that doesn’t seem to be the case for most people. Any tips regarding settings? I’d say it’s been at least 3 or 4 months since I could reliably use it.
Will I be able to sync between my phone and PC? Otherwise I’ll just keep using FreeTube.
Is it possible to sync freetube between phone and pc?
FreeTube has significantly more features, so there’s not much reason to switch either way.
On my phone I have to use a NewPipe fork in order to get SponsorBlock working.
A sync feature between FreeTube and NewPipe would be appreciated though.
Out of interest, which fork are you using? I used to use newpipe-sponsorblock but it was too slow to update and use Tubular now.
I’m currently using BraveNewPipe, not sure how recent it is but it updates regularly and works well: https://github.com/bravenewpipe/NewPipe
I believe Tubular is just descendent of “newpipe sponsorblock”. I believe they are from the same developer who discontinued previous project.

You can export your newpipe subs and import them into freetube. Sadly there isn’t an automation for this, though

If you have it set to use the Invidious backend that might be the issue, since most Invidious instances don’t work at the moment.
What doesn’t work? Recently it stopped launching for me unless I launch it on Xwayland explicitly.
