Ratings and reviews

Enshittification at its finest. Stop "fixing" nonexistent issues and adding unnecessary features. I do not enjoy having to sift through the irrelevant "recommendations" that have nothing to do with what I am searching for. The same goes for constantly being prompted to connect to a wireless display or the video quality tanking regardless of how good my connection is.

After these last few updates, the app is one step (small step) above complete garbage. Video buffering is ridiculous now. The load times (with perfect signal, and 1 gig speed internet) is pathetic. Often open the app, or scroll and it's just black thumbnails, or frozen. Video will just randomly pause, so I have to go back to the app, and hit play again. Or YouTube will just straight up crash now. You guys definitely broke what once was a perfect app.

Lately, the app crashes a lot. Often when using downloads. It also crashes if I don't have either wifi or data turned on - this didn't always hapen. Even if I don't have a wifi connection, it will still load if wifi is turned on, and simply redirect me to my downloads. So why does it crash if wifi is turned off? I just upgraded my SD card, and I had to redownload my downloads. Why is there no bulk redownload option? I had 1200 videos, and I needed to manually download all of them. Wild.
