    Look into smarttubenext for Chromecast then. It takes like 30 seconds to install. It’s similar to new pipe. I believe it can even link with new pipe to download videos for offline use.

    It’s the entire reason I bought a Chromecast over a Roku or fire TV.

          Well now I am confused, this is what it says for disadvantages:

          ❌ Disadvantages: no support for phones and tablets, no comments stability, voice search and casting support might be worse than in the official apps, depending on your device; give it a try!

            Here’s what it says on the compatibility section of the github readme.

            SmartTube requires Android 4.3 or above. It does not work on non-Android devices (incl. LG or Samsung TVs). On unsupported TVs, you can use a TV stick or TV box. Though this app technically runs on smartphones and tablets, it is not optimized for such and offers no official support!

            It has been successfully tested on TVs, TV boxes and TV sticks that are based on Android, including:

            Android TVs & Google TVs (e.g. Philips, Sony)
            Chromecast with Google TV & TVs with Chromecast built-in
            Amazon FireTV stick (all generations)
            NVIDIA Shield
            TV boxes running Android (many cheap chinese no-name boxes)
            Xiaomi Mi Box
            

            Looks like it isn’t officially supported on android phones. However, the way it’s built makes it automatically work on many android smartphones without the devs specifically trying to support it on phones.
