Lots of great upsides to this app. Works great and is straight forward. However it's hard to enjoy those upsides with the constant and lengthy ads. Most people dont want to pay a subscription fee only to get rid of ads, especially when the other benefits of the subscription are hardly ever used if at all. Would give at least a 4 star if it wasn't for the ads.

Love watching the youtubers I follow, but the ads combined with no skips makes this app unbearable. I can't watch on my TV cause it gives me 5 ads 58 second timer and no skips, just for a 20 minute video. So, I watch on my phone here, but even now the ads are 30 seconds each for 2 ads. Both of which are unskippable. Now I noticed I can no longer view when the skip will come up, and it's does a horrible fade from the video to the ad. They are trying too hard to be a streaming service.

I've been using YouTube for years now and have never really had a problem. I use platinum mainly for the background play while I'm sleeping. I've noticed that playing Playlists doesn't allow you to shuffle the videos anymore or makes it hard to do so. I don't know if this is from me updating the app(I'm a mobile user mainly) or from the actual people who made the lists. It's a bit annoying but not app breaking.
