Ratings and reviews

As a premium subscriber, being able to "lock" my phone while still being able to hear audio was a nice perk. Well, recent updates have made that perk exhausting. The audio will stop every three minutes or so, making me have to unlock my phone and go back to youtube and hope the audio starts back up, which it won't do. I have to go back to "continue watching" just to start it up again and I have to leave the screen open, draining battery way more. It was a nice run, youtube premium

I love this app for watching all different channels. I love watching others and how they do things in their lives. I have never had any major issues with it until the last update. When I am watching something an ad will pop up and buffer. It will not allow me to get out of it either. I have tried stopping the video but I can't. I have to completely leave the app before I can resume it. Please fix it!!! I would give you 5 stars but I can't until this issue is fixed.

This app is awful. The newest update auto plays the first suggested video, no matter what you're trying to watch. Click on a video you want to watch from a link (link from in the app or a text or any place),it doesn't play the video you want, it plays the first video in the suggested list. It's messing up my algorithm by forcing me to watch videos I do not like. It's annoying to have to click back, then find the original video I was trying to watch. Youtube is garbage
