Ratings and reviews

User-friendly and *free. A big variety of videos made by everyday people; people-to-people info exchange. The majority of videos are useful content pertaining to search terms. The video content can be applied to: career, home-life, entertainment, education, how-to, and much more. Interface is easy navigation, creating a user-friendly experience. *Free/paid subscription, but I just skip/or deal with ads, very short or "skip" option.

Pops open visual and sound ads that keep playing even after you close the app. And even though I deleted the app, it is still on my phone. Between the ads multiple times during the video and these new persistent ads it's almost impossible to follow or enjoy any content on this platform. I use to love it, now I feel like it's a waste of time.

The YouTube app is pretty much on point all year round but right now it's not going well. After this last update I see they fixed the rotating screen to go in either direction, but now when I click into fullscreen the video will black out and keep playing. I've had to turn my screen off and on several times to get the video to show again.
