Ratings and reviews

As for adding music to videos is indiscriminately difficult. I use to be able to add music to my videos directly on YT. But now I can't do that. Another problem is that there's some kind of bug that won't let any video fast-forward properly. Edit: Nothing has changed for the past 2 years, except now making a Playlist is harder due to some things don't show even when it says it's there. I used to swipe the screen down of the video, but now it's all wrong. YouTube is only getting worse over time.

The UI for casting videos to a TV is so much worse now. You no longer have the option to queue up a video or play it now, everything just plays immediately unless you manage to tap the three dots. Tap a link in another app, it takes over. Tap in a playlist, the entire playlist gets queued up. Want to resume playback of a video in a playlist, hope you can find your old spot. Want to click something under the pop-up player, too bad. Everything is worse.

The app keeps on minimizing, closing and kicking me out of it whether or not I'm holding my phone. Just does whatever it wants! It doesn't happen with any other of my apps. Just this one. It's very, very, VERY annoying and frustrating to point where I want to throw my phone out the window full force. Again, it doesn't happen with ANY of the other apps on my phone. Just yours. Please figure out what's going on and FIX IT!
