I use an app called yattee, but it won't be set up out of the box. It allows you to use invidious and piped instances to play YouTube videos. Yattee is just an app that can play remote files. There is a github json file with all the public invidious and piped instances which can be added in the yattee app and it works pretty good most of the time. It also allows you to easily switch between servers if one isn't working. Here is the guide I used to get it set up

See the post body - I use Yattee right now, but have to switch instances around every time I open the app
Not alot of options as far as I'm aware. There is selfhosted front ends that are quite private like piped
I use this myself for when I want to be signed-in. However, it's not a very private alternative, since YouTube will still track you on the app even when signed out and with history disabled
Have you considered hosting your own private invidious instance? Should be a lot more reliable and stable than a random public instance.
