WARNING NOT FULLY OPEN SOURCE
There are at least 5 proprietary libraries in the app.
https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube/issues/471

* Crashlytics (/com/crashlytics): Tracking
* Firebase Data Transport (/com/google/android/datatransport): NonFreeNet
* Google Mobile Services (/com/google/android/gms): NonFreeDep
* Firebase (/com/google/firebase): NonFreeNet,NonFreeDep
* Firebase Analytics (/com/google/firebase/analytics): Tracking

IzzySoft:
The 5 offenders are not permitted at F-Droid (and before you ask: I wouldn't take it into my repo either unless at least Crashlytics and Firebase Analytics are removed; 5 non-free libraries is a bit much for free/libre software).
