Ratings and reviews

When I pop up the keyboard to type a comment it will usually get stuck and I cannot get rid of it except for turning off my screen and back on again, has been happening for a while I thought a patch would fix it but no, tried submitting a report on the app but still hasn't been fixed, I have an s9 if that helps at all. Other than that, YouTube premium is the best thing ever!

Intrusive, user hostile, and full of itself. Watch 40 seconds of ads every 6 minutes, and what comes after that skip button appears is downright embarrassing for YouTube. More times than I can remember in just the most recent month there must be a whole half second of skippable ad because I don't even get a chance to skip before it's over. 3 to 5 ads what feels like every other sentence in a video is BAD, and everyone using adblock on YouTube is a good person.

I'm listening to my playlist (shuffled) for a couple of hours, I pause it and minimize playing inside the app so that I can leave the house and put my phone to sleep. So when I come back to the app to resume, it shut down my playlist!!?? Really?! What's the point of offering a minimize feature and a pause feature if you shut it right down when I stop listening... pointless app without purpose. same thing happens when answer phone ... doesn't just pause the playback it shuts it all right down.
