You need ReVanced app, that's new incarnation of Vanced app that ceased to work

Newpipe + Sponsorblock is a really good option.
This is what I use. Great once you've properly customized it.
Can you share some specifics on what you've customized?
Removed the trending tab, made my tabs "What's New" "Subscriptions" "Bookmarks" and "History". Made a few categories in the Subscriptions tab to sort specific channel types into different feeds. Bunch of minor tweaks to the video player/SponsorBlock settings. Honestly I recommend just taking the time to go through all the settings to configure it exactly how you want.
NewPipe, NewPipe + Sponsorblock, PipePipe and LibreTube are pretty much all of them.
Libretube works off piped servers and has multiple instances listed ready for use. It includes Sponsorblock and has a beautiful UI. It's slightly buggy sometimes but if you can deal with that it's the best.
Clipious for Invidious based, but it's not as good as Libretube Newpipe for Piped, but it's direct and reveals your IP to YT and has bad UI Libretube for Piped, but it's a bit buggy at times.
If you wanna use Piped with a slick Android UI for privacy, use LibreTube. It's a native client for Android that uses a Piped instance of your choice (e.g https://piped.video or https://piped.smnz.de).
There are two majore options, Newpipe and Libretube. To summ it up, Piped uses the Newpipe extractor which is the backend of Newpipe and Libretube uses Piped to put a server in between and mask your IP, both are great!
Libretube is what you are looking for. It uses piped api. It's also available on F-droid.
Newpipe or Newpipe X Sponsorblock is also a good option.
I am amazed why no one has said Clipious.
It uses Invidious instances, and if you enable the proxy option, Google won't even get to know your IP address, which is not the case with apps like LibreTube and NewPipe.
I don't bother with an app. I have found that FF with ublock works best for me on Android.
