Ratings and reviews

I'm having the same issue as Tony, and apparently 500 some odd others "The application worked okay, has had a few bugs here and there, but the last update caused it to be unusable. The phone heats up, drains the battery, and the video gets choppy until it just crashes. I have the premium subscription, and the content I watch is downloaded, so it's not ads or a buffering issue. If this continues, I'm not paying for the subscription."

Been using for years as a premium member, but for the last few days the app has randomly shut down. I'll be listening to it in the background with the screen off, and the audio dies. I open the app, and it completely restarts. I go to my recently watched history, but when I select the same video I was just listening to, it starts from the very beginning with no saved progress. It's done this more than 30 times, so I'm uninstalling and reinstalling , with hopes that that will fix the issue.

I'm not sure when or what happened. But every time I try to save a video to my Playlist favorites, it automatically goes into "watch later" instead, it used to save right to favorites. There is even a separate option to save right to watch later. I had over 1,500 videos saved to my favorites and now I have to click "change" every time I add to Playlist to put it in the right one. It's unnecessary and stupid
