## What it is
YTPro is an alternative YouTube client for Android built with a WebView and JavaScript injection, offering ad blocking, background playback, video/shorts downloading, and Google Gemini-powered video summarization. It supports older Android versions and bundles features like SponsorBlock integration, dislike counts, and picture-in-picture mode.

## Use cases
- watch youtube without ads on an old android phone
- play youtube videos in the background
- download youtube videos and shorts as mp4 or mp3
- summarize youtube videos with gemini
- see dislike counts on youtube videos
- skip sponsors in youtube videos
- use picture-in-picture mode for youtube

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight YouTube client on an older Android device
- you want ad-free playback, background audio, and downloading in one app
- you want AI-generated video summaries with customizable Gemini prompts

## When to avoid
- you need an officially supported, ToS-compliant YouTube experience
- you require iOS, desktop, or non-Android platforms
- you depend on long-term stability, as it relies on unofficial YouTube internals that can break
