Ratings and reviews

Still have autoplay issues. All auto-play options are turned off and it still auto plays. Also, the swipe function while in full screen is very annoying. When trying to see your info bar you switch videos then when you go back the video never picks up where you left off. Make the swipe function an option, not mandatory. I feel like these things should be caught before releasing an update.

YouTube has become almost unbearable to use. You get constant ads shoved down your throat, from multiple ads playing before, during and after a single video, you can't even escape them when looking for a video as you'll probably scroll past more ads than actual content. When searching videos it'll show you the same ones over and over again no matter how far you scroll, it'll even pull up videos that are hardly related to what you searched for. This app is downright unusable without ad blockers.

Huge error with latest software update. When connected to a TV, adding a video to the queue will cause the video currently playing to restart from the beginning. Also touching any video thumbnail on your mobile device when connected to a TV will cause it to immediately start playing, without asking you if you want to add it to the queue first.
