I had the same issue with my app, I have two versions - one is free and the other is paid. I had just changed the icon of the paid to a different colour and it was rejected. So I assumed it must of been that, but changing it back to the same as the free also got rejected. I had submitted the free at the same time but that was not rejected and contains the exact same screenshots. I did have images in my screenshots of brands, so I mosaiced the images and then it was accepted. Compare the Free https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mikiex.youtuze.free&hl=en

with the Paid https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mikiex.youtuze.pro&hl=en . My guess is that maybe the icon change was picked up by image recognition and triggered it as a job for a human to look at. The human wasn't bothered by the icon, but was by the screenshots. This might explain why one app was picked up on and not the other.

Have a look at my app YouTuze https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mikiex.youtuze.free&hl=en_GB

I originally made it for my kids, but actually it just as useful for adults as a simplified Youtube App without the need to login to any account.

To do what you want:

1 you could add videos one at a time to the video second of the app (but this is limited to 10 videos in the free version)

2 from your own Youtube account you can make a public playlist that the app will sync from.(you can also use a hidden playlist but that's a little more complicated)

I would recommend #2 because you can edit the playlist on a computer. The free version supports 10 playlists with up to 50 videos per playlist (so 500 videos)

If you need any help setting it up , or any other questions please ask.

/u/mikiex made an app, YouTuze which lets you add Channels, Playlists and videos so they only watch what you have added.

Can you link?

Hi Janebabra, It's not a channel as such but an app for Android phones and tablets. Link is here : YouTuze
