Bring back Youtube Dislikes for Android
About this app
Bring back Youtube Dislikes for Android
This is a simple application, that parses the data from the "returnyoutubedislike.com" API, and shows you their estimate dislike count on videos.
When you open the app you are presented with a text box, where you can enter a youtube url and you will be presented with the given videos stats.
You can also click the 'Share' button inside the official youtube app, and choose 'Show Youtube Dislikes' which will open the app on the information site for that video.
If possible use the desktop browser extension, as you will be contributing to the project with your dislike data, and not just leeching it, helping everyone get more accurate results.
I want to thank returnyoutubedislike.com for making an awesome tool, i just wanted to make it available for mobile as well.
This app is free and open source (it is licenced under the GNU GPLv3).

How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.jesperh.showyoutubedislikes is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 0.4 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Show Youtube Dislikes first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Show Youtube Dislikes, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

Permissions Required
What each permission lets Show Youtube Dislikes do. A highlighted one is worth a second look — not necessarily wrong, just worth asking whether this app needs it.
Previous Versions
The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
