Hi Alex, it’s currently not possible, but I’ll add it to my to-do list. Can’t promise when I’ll get to it, though.

If there were updates to the data model it’s no longer possible to "downgrade" from TestFlight to the App Store Version without reinstalling the app, which had been the case for the current TestFlight.

You could also go to Settings → Videos → New Videos → Do Nothing. The will keep your inbox empty and you can simply use Library → All Videos to view a feed of all the videos, if that makes more sense to you.

I see. The idea is to have something like "inbox zero": look through your inbox, swipe right to add the ones you wanna watch to your top or bottom queue and then remove everything else.

Ideally the app should be better optimized, sorry about that. Have you been keeping all inbox entries around without removing them at all, or how many entries were there?

Also, which Unwatched App version are you on? You could try the most recent TestFlight version to see if that changes anything (testflight.apple.com/join/9RP0WzCR).

Hm, that’s odd. I haven’t seen anything like it so far. Could you check the library and see if there’s duplicates? Also, how many entries do you have in your inbox/queue?

Thanks :)
Unresponsive in what way? And which iOS version, 18.5?

Oh wow, that looks awesome! I like everything about this: the icon looks great, the font feels great and the concept looks interesting as well. Thanks for sharing!

Unwatched Translations

Would anyone be able and kind enough to proof read the Spanish translation?

It’s currently machine translated. Doesn’t have to be everything of course, anything helps (just remove the background color for the translations that seem fine :)

Replacing the bookmark with tags might be interesting, but I don’t have any current plans for it and don’t want to promise anything there.

You can subscribe to YouTube playlists (limited to the 15 most recent videos) or add an entire playlist to your queue at once.

Creating or managing playlists is something I don’t have plans for, as I want to keep it simple.

Not quite, I’m looking for chapters that include URLs in their description. Something like this:

0:00 - Intro

5:26 - Civilization VII VR

18:39 - PlayStation VR2's Eye Tracking

Is anyone aware of YouTube channels that add links to individual chapters? I’m looking for different formats. The only one I’ve found so far is this: youtu.be/gYqZxgFDnrk

It should be fixed in 1.6.3, let me know if you still see it pop up.

Those are entries that have lost the connection with the video, you should be able to swipe left on them to remove them. In the last update I’ve added a workaround which should automatically reconnect the video, I sadly haven’t been able to fix it properly so far.

The app is using dynamic font sizes, which can be customized per app on iOS, but apparently macOS doesn’t have that option. Anything in particular that you find too small, or in general?
