Did you send crash reports, report the problem with the missing subscriptions, maybe even have a go at finding the cause if you happen to be versed in the technology? I've never seen it crash [1] on any of my devices so I can add that piece of anecdata to yours. I'm not a heavy Newpipe user since I run my own Invidious instance which offers close to the same functionality (minus playing in the background since that needs to be implemented on the device while Invidious is a web service) but for those times I do use Newpipe it works well. On those odd instances it doesn't load the video the solution tends to be an upgrade away. [1] as in 'the app crashes', not 'the video does not play', the former is a crash while the latter is an incompatibility with Youtube and tends to be solved by upgrading Newpipe.
