Skipjack: Read Videos app for iPhone and iPad

Have you ever noticed how many of your favorite YouTube videos have excellent captions? Skipjack is an unofficial player for YouTube that lets you read captions as text and use them to skip around.

Paste a link to a YouTube video or playlist to start watching. If the video has captions, they appear as one single text beside the video.

While the video is playing, an indicator shows you the position in text. Set the text to auto-scroll, or scroll at your own pace. Tap any line to skip to that point in video.

You can stop the video at any time and resume to the exact point you’ve stopped.

Paste links to YouTube channels or export your subscriptions from YouTube to get the latest videos from these channels in Skipjack.

Skipjack has two hand-crafted themes: light and dark.

iPhone and iPad are both supported with many enhancements to make the iPad version extra special.
