The app randomly restarts the first 5 seconds of videos. It also doesn't load videos fully, just black screen while the sound of said video plays in the background. This is honestly a joke for a company that brings in millions to billions of dollars a year. ALSO what's the point of having a "continue" option when it just restarts the video. I'm halfway through a 2-3 hour long video and now I've got to scour back through it to find where I paused it so I can actually continue the video.

I'm not usually a person to complain about the ads, but let me tell you that the ads are obnoxious on lomger videos. I get 1 or 2 at the beginning, then I get another 2 in just one minute of the video, then 2 more two minutes later, and so on. Ads are important for ad free apps but at the same time, it gets extremely annoying. It's really not necessary to show a million ads in one video down your throat, I just want to enjoy YouTube without problems.

play I have been using the App instead of just going to the website for a very long time. I have videos saved into a number of playlists that I have built up for years and they're very important to me as I use them for various purposes. the other day my playlists all vanished. they might still be saved so I could search for them and find them but the section for them in my account has vanished. 2 stars, and I'm tempted to give the app 1 star. I'm going to go ahead and do that. This is major.
