Ratings and reviews

Lately, regular and downloaded videos stopped playing in the background for YouTube premium. Please bring back that feature. I don't see the point of paying for the premium version without convenience of background playback. Also, I wonder why the Watch Later playlist is now buried under all other playlists... It used to be the first and easily accessible. Would be nice to get it back to how it was before.

Please bring back the option to turn off ambient mode. Or just get rid of it all together. I know it sounds dumb but it's so distracting and ruins the viewing experience. Or looks horrible and doesn't add anything good to my viewing experience. Talking to many others in the community in not alone. I don't know a single person who like this mode. Everything else is great though

I used to love this app as a Premium user. I use the download for offline use very heavy, and choose what I watch or listen too from there. A few months ago they updated the app so that you cannot load a TV Que from the downloads section of the app. You have to play each one individually, that makes it hard to setup up a series of video to play while my hands are busy.
