Ratings and reviews

Developers: Get in touch and I will record bugs. No bugs>new features. Every time I am watching a video, and accidentally hit one of the suggested videos below it, I hit the back button, but the app will not load the previous video. Have to go into history to get back to where I was. Update: I try to go to a chapter within a video, but it adds the video to the que. Have seen many other bugs with the que. Also, I close the app, but audio from a video keeps playing until I reopen and stop it.

As of June 9th (2025); there must've been an update, or something I've pressed, but my features aren't working anymore. Slight control features, like fast forwarding to the next video or adjusting a toggle to indicate if you want the video to play next when the current is over, isn't there any more 🤷 it used to show a pause/play on the top of my window for that feature, or just indicate it when you tap the screen. Just wondering if anyone else experienced this or not? I have premium, so not sur

Recently, the app has started to bug out significantly. I can no longer click the notifications button, or any of the buttons at the bottom (Home, Shorts, Create, Subscriptions, and Account). Whenever I want to switch accounts, I have to go out of my ways to settings. I'm also now forced to upload videos and create posts through YouTube Studio, and I can't even access my notifications at all anymore. Honestly, I'm surprised a good alternative hasn't popped up yet. YouTube, fix your damn app.
