Ratings and reviews

I HATE this random change to make the library page of the app to be horizontal scrolling. While I'm used to the history section being like that, I never use it on this particular app. The playlist selection, on the other hand, I use DAILY. I get a physical disgust response every time I need to side swipe it. Add in the middle of the night crashes when I need the music to sleep, I'm seeing a decline in both usability and reliability!

Why does Google mess up anything that actually works. For the last year or so they automatically play the video as a "preview" without any sound, and then when you click on the clip your already several seconds into the clip and miss the audio. I have to rewind every time I play a clip because Google decided somehow this feature is better than the clip starting from the beginning. Great job google.

Just ads, ads, and more ads. They load faster and with more clarity than the videos I'm trying to watch. YouTube has always been a reliable platform for watching useful or entertaining videos, but only recently the advertising has spiralled out of control. I'd be more than happy to go back to seeing one ad every 3 to 4 videos, not 3 to 4 minutes.
