I'm usually against standalone apps for websites, but YouTube is one I definitely use enough to justify it, and Google seems intent on making the experience as miserable as possible. I use LibRedirect to send my browser to Piped instances, but FreeTube is much better for keeping track of my subscriptions.

It is in appstore or test flight(recommending that version).
It is great but it relies on the piped/invidious so your mileage will vary depending on the instance you select.
