This a very early version of the app, so not all functionality is implemented, and there may still be a lot of bugs. But all in all it's doing what it is supposed to do. It makes it possible to watch youtube videos. So don't be cruel to this app. It will improve...

## Description
10+
11+
NewPipe does not use any Google framework libraries, or the Youtube api. It only parses the website in order to gain the information it needs. Therefore this app can be used on devices without g-services installed. Also NewPipe does not store data on the Youtube website (no login), and it's free software.

### Multi service support
39+
Generally NewPipe is designed to not only support YouTube, but many more streaming services. How ever, right now NewPipe is not stable enough to support more than only youtube. But if all works as plant, NewPipe will get such support by the version 2.0.
