I use the app primarily to cast to my TV. The latest update changes the default click behavior, making any click instantly start playing a video on my TV, fully blowing away any previously queued videos. It's awful for casting. I now have to click the tiny 3 vertical dots and select add to queue. If I misclick, queue is gone and, as a bonus, my place in the current video is lost. Remember, anyone connected to the TV can make this mistake. It's impossible to use for those with dexterity issues.

Used to be great but lately, past month or 2, is bad every single day. The buttons don't light up. No pause or play button. Screen will freeze completely. The screen is constantly dim as if in pause mode. Have to close app and go back in. Then have to watch more ads just to continue watching what I was just watching. Idk what u changed, but it's not really worth the hassle anymore.

This used to be my favorite music app but for over a year YouTube has become Commercial Tube, every time I use the app and after 2 or 3 songs that I play ends up having those retarded commercials that will keep on playing until you're able hit the skip button (YouTube when people are driving their vehicles it's against the law to be looking at the phone while driving.. just think about that.. we can't pick up the phone to hit Skip, same as texting and driving, we end up with a heavy fine. $$$$.
