I recently discovered SmartTube Next for Android TV to get an ad free experience and integrated Sponsorblock on my Nvidia Shield TV.

I found NewPipe for my phone but I don’t see a way to connect my YouTube account to it and I guess I need to import my subs manually every time I change something.

So I’m wondering if there is an alternative YouTube app that is blocking ads (and ideally integrates Sponsorblock) for my smartphone and has the ability to connect my YouTube account like SmartTube Next does?

    Tubular is NewPipe + sponsor block for phone. But as you say its not connected to your account.

    People were using revanced to get the YT app without ads. Not sure if it works any longer.

    You can also try mobile fire fox with addons. But YT are cracking down atm.

    Your setup is the same as mine and it seems the best for now.
