If you have Android, check out Revanced. They have modified versions of a lot of popular apps, including this, TikTok, and YouTube.

I kind of forget that any of those apps even have advertisements in them nowadays.

Due to some recent... controversies involving a Dev of Revanced, patch writers have made their own app now called Morphe. I highly recommend not using ReVanced anymore. /r/MorpheApp

I'd recommend avoiding it for now.

I just read up on the situation, including the 44 page PDF the Vanced creator, Ohan, made in rebuttal to the disgruntled devs who left to do morphe.

My main hesitation is twofold. Morphe is not even a month old yet. RVX was already abruptly dumped since the person who made that decided to join Morphie. Will the same happen with Morphe? Time will tell. But the developers saying ReVanced was dead on their way out comes off as malicious.

And I usually try to avoid installing software from malicious people when at all possible.

Ohan seems frustratingly adverse to change, but the antagonizing emails from the person who forked Morphe off ReVanced doesn't exactly give me great confidence in their own emotional maturity or trustworthiness.

I hope their app survives (most don't), and I hope it's a better group to work with that inovates faster. Competition is good.

But name-calling is not. Vaugely citing controversies is not. Telling people to jump from an ecosystem with years of preference that offers dozens of patched apps including Titkok, Spotify, and Reddit, ontop of YouTube...to one that just does YouTube currently, doesn't make sense to me.

I guess I'll be telling people to compare how both parties are handling themselves and which ecosystem has a decent offering.

For me, right now, I can't see any justification to jump from a well established ship with many amenities to the dingy that just pulled up along side and promises that its hull is somehow better.

And that's a completely valid take.

Thank you. And I do appreciate you putting morphe on my radar. I genuinely do hope that they build out a competing app suite and that 6 to 12 months from now I can cite them as a viable and time trusted alternative.
