I'm done with this buggy mess, there are times where I can't even double click to like a short, where I can't swipe up to see recommended videos while in a playlist, and times where swiping in other features doesn't work. This app ways has these bugs, that never seems to be fixed. Edit: It got worse. Somehow the bugs are even worse. This is tiring, I can't even watch one video without being interrupted by a bug.

The popular comments are all messed up, I don't care if it isn't in English. Have popular comments properly descending by popularity. Also, bring back dislike numbers. It is crucial that we can see if a video is received properly or not, especially for tutorial videos. Additionally, this new thing with wide phones having colorful side screens is distracting.

the last 2 updates basically put a clickable tile on the right side of the screen during ads and if you're fast forwarding you'll end up clicking on the ad tile. that's super sneaky way of tricking people into clicking on an ad, shame on the developers for doing this. if you want to run ads that's fine, but don't trick me into clicking on an ad link by using a mechanic in your app as designed. one star until you fix it!
