Google app is better on iOS!!! In iOS you can hold on titles for sub menus, and you see a small preview window when scrolling through the ringer line. Also the volume does not block your view when changing volume while watching videos, and you can like on comments. Another feature is pinch to make the video full screen, or pinch to minimize the screen. And last but not least, if you want to go to the top of the screen you just tap on the status bar. I don't know why Google treats iOS users better than there own Android OS?!!!

Aidan Millet

its alright but has one minor problem youtube mobile works amazing but i wish it allowed you to watch videos in HD because im only limited to like 320p or something and my phone can handle 1080p so please add the ability to add higher resolutions and this app would be perfect. if this is already available plz tell me where the settings for it is

Would be better if it functioned correctly Galaxy S6. New version of the YouTube app is fairly bad. When looking at the comments of a video I see there is an option to choose Top Comments or Newest First. Neither option returns complete results. Newest First displayed only two of 35 comments. Top Comment was two also but a different two. It shows there are 35 comments in my example but you don't see 35 comments. I like the return of the thumbs up thumbs down. There's new and useful sort options in your subscribed channel list.

Sebastian Locke September 26, 2016

Good but I have had this app for a long time, it came downloaded on my phone and has worked great! Lately though it's having trouble loading videos which makes no sense. It has never had this problem before, I will be connected to WiFi and have all the bars filled up, even with no other apps running it's taking a while to load videos. Please fix.

Randolph Ray Lao September 26, 2016

I don't know why......... :3 It really is presentable and neat but why does it not keep up with the videos we're watching! Even a "one minute" video stopped at 00:15 and my Internet Connection is not that bad, I can even watch it completely without interruptions in Browsers but I wan't to watch it in your app!!! So get your lazy asses moving, you're Youtube after all!!! One of the best today! >.<

Prem La Seraphim September 17, 2016

Nice app, but need ads preference setting What to say more about this app? It is functioning properly. The ads are okay because the developers need incomes, right? But I think Google should allow YouTube users to chose ads they prefer. I am living in Taiwan, and I am still learning Chinese. Taiwanese ads are keep popping up on my YouTube but I can't understand them. So maybe global ads will be better for me. Above all, thank you developers for the good job.

Andre September 20, 2016

Upgrade of comment section I'm very impressed with this latest update on the comment section. Finally I can see more organization of user replies in better order which helps in following discussions more easier. I like that there's the like, dislike option. Well done. This helps in making me not have to use google plus to follow up comments. The only reason now that I would need google plus is to go directly to comments that people reply

Rana Usman September 22, 2016

An Error Occurred (after last update) I have been using the app for quite some time and it was smooth in running and never exhibited any problem. After the last update, though UI became better, but I haven't been able to watch a single video. Every time I play a video it shows ' an error occurred, try again later '.

Raaul Gerre September 18, 2016

Last update sucks (18/09/2016) Since last 5 days I've been unable to watch a damn video. Home screen is fine but any video keeps loading and loading and then it says "no connection" or "there's a problem with the server". Same happens on browser version. Desktop version takes its time to first load the video but it works fine after that. Fix it please cause I purchased YouTube red and can't do anything I'm supposed to do with that.

Sasuke Uchiha September 26, 2016

Reduce advertising. This is an amazing app with many great YouTubers that I love watching, it has videos that are useful, it has much great music, BUT you guys are going a bit insane with the amount of advertising you are doing. I used to get an Advert every third video or maybe every other video, but lately I have been getting sometimes 4 adverts on a 7 minute video. Do us all a favour and please reduce the amount of advertising you do. If needed, ask the YouTubers themselves to promote things too.

Krish Rishi Karnani September 28, 2016

Major Issues on Version 11.35.60 The previous version was much more stable in terms of not have issues loading the comments section, loading videos etc. I can see that you have updated the comments section by adding the sorting of top comments and newest first. Even having a very fast and stable connection, it sometimes doesn't even want to load anything to the point that I have to remove YouTube out of memory. Google please get your act back together and resolve this issue. Thank you.

Adolf Hitler September 21, 2016

It was a good app until now For some reason it won't load videos. It just says failed to load. I've tried it on multiple networks and they're all fast enough to play a video. And I'm using a Nexus 6P so I don't see why there's a sudden issue. I've never been so disappointed with a Google app before.

Darth Genesis September 28, 2016

Last update has problems I have always really like the youtube app, but since the last update, I have a really hard time watching videos. The ads always play fine, but then when the actual video gets ready to start, it plays a little then loads a long time and continues this cycle. I've checked my network and it is fine. I have no problem watching HD videos using any other service or app. Please fix this in the next update. Samsung Galaxy S5.

Jarmo Verriet September 20, 2016

Watch Later broken The "Watch Later" option is completely broken. It won't add videos and when you try to remove them it just says "there was a problem with the network" even though my WiFi is fully connected and working fine. Please fix this. Other than that, everything works fine and looks good. The ability to like comments is great.

Jiminy Cricket September 21, 2016

Love the update! Fixed nearly every complaint I had before! Love that I can edit comments and like comments, but I still can't look at my overall comment history. It has also become impossible to reply to a reply on a comment. It would also be great if you'd stop scrolling my subscription videos all the way to the top when I exit the app. Also youtube is trying to censor people by stripping them of ad revenue, so I only bumped it up to 2 stars. Fix the ad guidelines and I will bump it up to five stars.

Duncan Mathers September 20, 2016

Far from perfect I love YouTube. Everyone loves YouTube. But when will you listen to users and make it so we can lock our phone or minimise the app without killing the video? You're one of the last to the table with this feature. Also, can you add a button to the app that allows users to invert the order of their Watch Later list?

Holli Joy Roddy Daisy Owl BTR 123425 September 27, 2016

Worth the YouTube Red service! I like the Red service for the best series and movie content with ad free videos and background play. It is the best. I no longer have any YouTube stopping or glitching videos problems, sometimes at the beginning of the video for the first 10 seconds, but if you refresh the beginning, it does fix now. They have had better improvements lately. Love it!!!💖 And, having an online service for private/public uploads is awesome! (:

September 28, 2016

Comments Need To Be Fixed When i add a commment on a video and then check back later i cant see my comment which i posted from earlier. Can you create and option to see all your comments which you have posted. Also the filters for comments dont work correctly and give me the pre loaded page of comments when there is no filter anyway.

Mayer June Casio Abelinde September 26, 2016

Saving Videos Now Working! :) I Love Saving Videos Until one day I Saved A Video That Doesn't Work! I Hate It! I Used To Love Saving Videos Please Fix It And I'll Rate It 5 Stars =( [UPDATE] Thank you for fixing it :) I can now save videos. [UPDATE] New features like Disliking a comment is really awesome Keep up the good work! =)

Maxim K September 20, 2016

Doesn't play certain videos It's OK when it works, but lately I've been getting "Connection to server lost" on several videos and no ammount of retries or force quits solve the issue. The videos themselves are fine, I can see them in the browser on the same device, just not through this app, for some reason. Another big problrm is that you can't go back, the back button doesn't take you to the last video you watched, and history doesn always have them either

Kayleigh Reilly September 23, 2016

Some issues. Even with auto play on, when it comes to going onto the next video, it always says auto play paused. Something is up with the volume. On most of the videos, the volume is really low, and it is definitely not my phone speakers; they work perfectly for everything else. Also, the new rules kind of suck. I love listening to the creepy horror stories, if they disappear because of the new rules, I will be quitting YouTube. Some of those narrators are brilliant.

Saab Sahi September 15, 2016

YouTube Red Problems & More With the new updates there are a few changes, which add nothing. For one expanding a comment chain takes the user to a new page the app. As opposed to the old method, where the comment chain expands in the comment section. For another I have YouTube Red, yet I can no longer play videos in the background. I'm sure I'll find more issues as everyone else has.

Dez Lyons September 29, 2016

Videos loading on lowest resolution New Version does not detect bandwidth accurately. It insists on loading videos at the lowest resolution even on high bandwidth fibre optic networks. This never happened on previous versions. There needs to be a settings option to select a default permanent resolution for all videos you choose to view. Come on YouTube you can do better than this.

Blake Hanback September 13, 2016

Awful now App use to not make you wanna break your phone before this last update. It freezes all the time or the video will stop and the sound keeps going. Or it'll straight just stop responding. Good job finally giving us the like comment feature years later.

Cheeky Squirrel Nuts September 15, 2016

Latest update is a mixed bag. The layout makes it harder to see which comments are the original or a reply to another comment. Also, you can't reply to a sub-comment, but only like or dislike it. That is plain stupid, and needs to be fixed immediately. And, ad block needs to be implemented. Seeing the ads over and over actually makes me NOT want those products, and most of them do not interest me to begin with.

Stefano Menicagli September 15, 2016

Lazy You should say what you did with your update. Possibly, with every update. Most of the others do, you wouldn't believe me. I assume it gets just a few minutes of your precious programming and marketing work. The present comment to your updates is now staying the same since what, a year...? Says a lot about your arrogant attitude

alton benally September 20, 2016

Slower? Seems slower. Can't tell if it's still loading videos or if it just stopped responding altogether. Usually have to relaunch the app to get it going again. I hate that you have to swipe down to go back to a previous screen or to even view your battery life. I regret updating.

USCHI LOU September 18, 2016

Mobile app, LG G5 Visual keeps freezing/sticking while audio continues. Usually happens when in super high quality 1080p 720p60, but sometimes w 480p. Not sure if it's my device or YouTube. Very irritating and freezes my phone, can't go to home screen etc while frozen but can still hear audio.

Porfirio P. Pasia September 27, 2016

Lastest Update Still Has an Issue On a Galaxy S5 and LG tablet. With the newest update, having issues loading certain videos. Its troubleshooting suggested it had to deal with my internet connection - being slow on certain times of the day if running on HD. Lowered quality to lowest res setting -still loading. Checked same videos which had buffering/loading issues via Laptop and played fine on HD. please fix this bug. Previous update was working fine.

Only getting worse The app was great in 2012, 2013, and 2014 with the awesome side menu it had tht was much easier and user friendly. Now it has a crappy layout tht is more comicated than the pull up side bar. Plz fix this issue and bring back the pull up side menu. Not only that but the new update made the layout worse.

Ryan Rankin September 15, 2016

What the what? How many software engineers do you guys need to make the app work as it should? I haven't been able to use this at all since the update. Every single last video freezes with audio continuing. Get it together before launching half-assed updates.

Kappakappa duk September 16, 2016

The comments section is even more of a fail than before. If I could use YouTube via mobile browser I would. The YouTube app is total garbage now. Yes I give the YouTube app programmers a difficult time, sadly they deserve much much worse. They prove just how much they don't listen with every update being worse than the last.

Veggie Slayv September 17, 2016

Freeze freeze freeze, buy, freeze freeze Vid freezes, if the vid doesn't freeze then the screen freezes but the audio keeps, and if i change the video, that vid freezes. Only way to fix the audio/ video freeze is to close the vid or fast forward/rewind it and that's bs in itself, plz fix and stop bein do stingy. And if u ask me to get youtube red again, oh so help me god

S Lewis September 22, 2016

Recommended videos are junk now Please do something about the recommended videos. 95 percent of them are now either videos I've repeatedly clicked 'not interested' on, or videos I have already watched.There's no logical reason for the recommendations to be so awful. Seriously. I have never viewed a single video about the Kardashians, ariana Grande or people with lip tattoos and yet my recommended videos is full of this crap. Also, no need to include videos from my subscribed channels on the recommended list. Absolute junk.

ashwath hari September 19, 2016

It is not playing properly As soon as the video starts it will get stuck with a frame and the dialogues will be running I'm the back end for 5 to 6 seconds and then it starts playing normally. Even HD nor a 240p video have the same problem. I use Samsung galaxy e7

Eduardo Solis September 16, 2016

Screen freezes so much The comment section is awful now, the screen freezes but audio still plays? And honestly I'm not a fan of the new time bar... whenever I try to go to full screen I'll accidently hit the time and fast forward to the end of the video... can we just go back to the old days??
