I miss those times when the recommended videos under the video I'm watching were the ones that were similar to the video I was watching. It sucks now that the recommended videos are only the ones uploaded by the channel whose video I'm watching. Also, why can't I see the amount of likes that a comment has? Now if I wanna see how many people like a comment, I have to tap "replies". Otherwise it will be just blank.

Been using the YouTube app forever and they keep adding more features. Only issue I've had recently is no background playback using Bluetooth since the last update. Finally realized they removed the feature and you have to have Red for background playback now. App force closes on my tablet a lot but not on my phone. Updates have been really good no other complaints.

I updated the app and everything looked good until I went to watch a video! When I flipped my phone to see it in landscape form and the lower bar that you can use to skim thru the video and see how long it is isn't there! It's a pretty big annoyance not being able to skim thru the video! Anyone else have this problem and have a fix for it? I have a galaxy s3.

I pay for YouTube red & for the past 3 months have had serious problems. YouTube shuts down every time I open another app (shouldn't happen with YouTube red) & there is no more continuous play. I would like a refund for the past 3 months cause you arent providing the service that is advertised.

The most important part of youtube is video player. but google never improved it's features. Google need to work hard on video player. Double tap for rewind and skip forwarding 10 second is very worst idea. Instead of this it should be swipe toch screen towards right for forward and left for rewind. Also add an option for control Volume by swiping screen upwards and downwards.

Features, no. Bug fixes yes. 3/24/15: Fix bugs first. Your "not interested" selection for videos never works. 10/29/15: I still can't tell a difference. All I know is that the stock version is under 8MB. 12/19/15: See above. 2/09/16: See above. No difference. 11/13/16: Seriously, see above. It doesn't make it easier to find things--opposite, made it harder. 6/20/17: At some point you will see above. Just keeps getting worse. 7/19/17: Nope, see above. 3 updates in less than a month.

You took away side scrolling from the four tabs. I now need to click them. It's retarded. Also you don't allow the user to choose to automatically load a video in HD, instead I have to open the quality control panel for every video 👎

Kevin Moses July 19, 2017

Stop. Changing. The Goddamn UI Layouts!. I swear. My muscle memory of swiping videos off is now changed to button push, minor but annoying enough as it occur every time. The major for me is, why the videos shrink when i go scroll through comments!? Like its that really necessary? Did I gain any advantage over that in anyway? Reading 1 extra sentence of peoples comment that i just can scroll!? Instead add useful feature that we all wants, Background Sound Playback. But we get useless features instead. Sigh.

A Google User July 19, 2017

The latest update doesn't delete watch history after I've deleted them. STOP with all the adverts damn, like you dont make enough money. Would be a lot better if there wasn't ads everywhere and if we could either download videos or save to watch offline. Unless i have a perfect WiFi or 4g signal i can't watch anything on my s7 edge. I travel a lot so i want to watch youtube but can't

Amanda Wiggins July 18, 2017

I absolutely love YouTube, been using it for years, but recently I've been running into a problem on only mobile. I click on a video, it shows a black screen for an ad, but it just loads and pauses. Not only that, but during this it freezes for a few seconds and then I can't do anything. I've checked my internet connection, which is fine. I've tried it on other videos but it does the same thing... I honestly don't know what's causing this...

Joao De Andrade July 18, 2017

Has a few bugs, such as likes getting erased after going back into a video. My feed is irrelevant with Minecraft and GTA videos and some random cringe, or even with videos I watched. If I click that I'm not interested it will just pop up again later. Also the trending is full of political propaganda, I'd just keep politics out of trending overall, and trend videos that are ACTUALLY trending and not just the latest video from a popular channel.

Ace July 20, 2017

I hate how the UI keeps changing from the layout where the sub box and everything is at the bottom ( I like that one) to the way the UI looked before that update. I wish we had a night mode as well. I remember the first YouTube app for Android and I miss the black theme

Mackenzie Thomas July 19, 2017

I don't know if it's just me, but during the videos I watch, the audio and video don't match up and it's quite annoying. I have to restart the app or else it is all messed up. I've read through some reviews and didn't see anyone with the same issue so it may just be my phone? Who knows.

Asaun Stafford July 19, 2017

It sucks a lot. Whenever I start a video it shows a frame of the beginning of it and then goes start to a black screen for the whople time I tried playing other videos and it does the same thing. It's been happening for so long and with all the updates they bring out is thought at least one if them would have fixed this problem.👎

Aubrey Stafford July 20, 2017

I have YouTube Red, and yet i feel like it's pointless (except for not receiving ads). I can still play a video in the bg, but when that video ends, the app errors and doesn't autoplay to the next video. Also the app seems to be stuck in Portrait mode. When i tilt ny phone for Landscape it doesn't seem to work, so i have to touch the expand option; but when in full screen landscape mode, pressing the minimise option keeps it in Landscape until you tilt the phone back to Portrait and locks it into that position. My phone orientation is always kept to 'Rotate' so this really shouldn't happen. And also, when in full screen landscape mode the videos do not autoplay even when still in the app. Honestly this makes YT Red absolutely not worth it if the app doesn't even work.

July 19, 2017

I noticed five stars are for much older versions dating back 5+ years!! We the People upload our music videos, all of which "we" edit so that you (YouTube) RUINS by adding your commercials so that you make money off of our content, JUST LIKE THE CABLE TV WE HAD AT ONE TIME ESCAPED(!!!!). I AM REMOVING AS MUCH OF YOURTUBE AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE!! GOODBYE TO GARBAGE!!

Gabriel Rodriguez July 19, 2017

Nothing really to say here but lately I have been having my screen on my phone go black after a few minutes of watching a video and I have to close the video and play it Again but it will go black after 3 or 4 mins again. Plz fix this is very annoying

the Bus vlogger July 16, 2017

YOUTUBE WHATS GOING ON. ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I CLICK ON MY PROFILE MY VIDEOS DONT SHOW UP! this is making me so mad right now!! Please fix

July 14, 2017

What I love about you tube is that wht ever movie you want to watch u can pull it up what ever song you want to listen to you can and what ever episode you want to watch u can literally watch it.. Now let me get back to watching my who framed Roger rabbit lol yall remember that lol thanks YouTube awesome app!!!!

Nicolas Bell July 19, 2017

Its about time when using other stuff on your phone that you can still listen to YouTube instead of cutting of all together.. I would like to browse the web and listen to YouTube together but we don't have this opportunity yet I think it would be nice and useful..

Cameron Spurlin July 18, 2017

You can find EVERYTHING on YouTube. Tutorials on about everything in life such as video games, How to videos, ........... And lots more that I don't feel like writing! 5/5 Stars, A+, Never looks old or never glitches. I can tell that it has been updated ALL THE TIME! Thank you!

nicole Shoemaker July 19, 2017

It was awesome, I can get my son's favorite shows and everything (except I need to pay for them) BUT know you did this update and I can't stream on my vizio tv!!!! If I didn't just buy all the season of my son's shows I would not be so mad, but damn it these shows are hardly on and this was the way he can enjoy them! I am so pissed, spent all this money just for you guys to do an update, that was working just fine before!!! So pissed off right now

Frank Castle July 18, 2017

Why just dont let all android versions change the quality of the videos just like twitch. Im stuck in 360p kitkat user but i can watch videos 720p 60fps in twitch?

Damian Hopkins July 18, 2017

New update freezes and then crashes. Also, new interface (with controls at bottom) isn't user-friendly at all. Anyone know of a way we can move the controls back to the top of the screen?

Jennifer Dinh July 20, 2017

I like to watch videos on my phone, since it's easier to haul around than a laptop. I like the setup and everything, but YouTube has a habit of messing up the like/dislike feature. This update, I can't see the likes unless I click on a comment, and I get double notifications, which get really annoying after a while. Otherwise, I think it's a good app.

Goku Black July 18, 2017

I really like watching videos on here but every video I watch, at a certain point in a video, it buffers and then it just goes to a black screen seconds afterwards. Can u please fix this and I'll give it a better review?..

Berrot McMusing July 19, 2017

THE WORST YOUTUBE HAS EVER BEEN. Irellevant recommendations every day. That used to happen on rare occasion, now it's daily. I click "Not Interested", tell why, but it still happens daily. Great update - a permanent black bar with "comment added" across the bottom of my phone any time I post a comment YouTube is run by the smartest stupid people on the planet.

IceBerg Gaming Jr July 19, 2017

What I certainly don't like is when I go to edit info and put ads on my videos. It counts as a view, which does not make any sense. Because I'm not even watching the video. I'm just adding and editing info on my video and adding pop up ads. Please fix that. Otherwise YouTube is amazing

Tig Chu July 18, 2017

Looks the same to me. I can't wait for the next update. What's with all the negativity life is to long so ease up. Love everyone. ... Aloha Tig. Now I gotta figure out how to use this new update :)

Kendra Persephone July 19, 2017

I loved it and had no problem with it until about 3 weeks ago I stop receiving notifications from my subscriptions. I checked and all of the post notifications are on and I'm still getting nothing. If you could please try to fix this problem, it would be much appreciated.

Daniel Kennard July 16, 2017

How did you all manage to go from simple to complicated, and also create a comment button that doesn't want to enter. No thumbs down ratings? Seriously?? I still can't put it on my smart tv? Doesn't show all my playlists in the A-Z... What are you all doing??

Iron McMan July 15, 2017

All of a sudden since the last update, it no longer fits on my s8+ screen. When it auto adjusts, it zooms in vertically, not horizontally like it used to. Please fix for 5 stars

Zach Chambers July 18, 2017

4 stars because I don't like the new minimized video ui, and i want an option for a dark theme. This app is way to bright (even when screen brightness is adjust) at night when I'm mostly using it.

MinemonGamer 438901 July 19, 2017

There is an issue why I removed 1 star rating; 1.) Sometimes, my profile would not show up. It would just say "An error occured". Please fix.

Sankofa Legend July 17, 2017

Always says an error occured when I was searching something. Worst app ever. I wish I could give 0 stars. I only gave 1 star because stars mean nothing to us now.

Jackson Neuhart July 19, 2017

Best Alternative to TV Obviously, the hate on YouTube is a little stupid. It's a great website/app to watch videos, and with the additional YT Red, you can watch shows and other great stuff. The new ubdate is a little annoying since you can't swipe to get to a different page anymore, but it's fine. I would say a 5 star rating for YouTube

Isabella muniz July 19, 2017

Awesome It buffers but has everything u want and that's all you can ask for. It has videos for anything your into and u can delete history if u don't want someone to see things or something. This apparently is the bomb I love it. For the music and just to relax and watch videos. It has everythjng

Hanky Bannist8r July 19, 2017

It's a great app. However, if I search for something, from then on in my feed that's all it thinks I want to watch as well as adds things I'd never want to watch... Ever. This is my most used app and I do enjoy it but the whole force feed me things I search for is over bearing and unnecessary.

Matthew Robinson July 14, 2017

Good but I doesn't show more when you go on your channel and press videos and scroll down it loads shows more and then more fades doesn't give you a chance to press it please fix this annoying issue, also why when someone comments on one of my videos it says 7 comments when only 1.

Lindsay butler July 19, 2017

Ever since this last update yesterday I have not been able to get any visual on my screen. It's just a black screen with audio

What's New

A new design makes it easier to use YouTube:

• Find your watch history, uploads, purchases, and playlists in the new Library tab

• Reach tabs more easily and switch between them from any screen

• See more videos with a smaller navigation bar

• Switch accounts, view notifications, and manage settings by tapping your avatar

The new design will gradually be available to everyone.
