Ratings and reviews

This app has gotten worse and worse over the past few months. First off, whenever a live stream is open for an extended duration of time, the app will freeze and crash whenever put into a picture in picture view. Next, chat will often lag live streams both on desktop and mobile. And finally, this past week, live streams will constantly stutter to the point of being unwatchable. They work just fine on the Google Chrome app, but not in the actual app itself. I hate that I'm paying for YouTube Prem

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."

This app is a very good app to watch videos or make videos!! However, my comments have been disabled for almost maybe 3 years now, even though it shows that my comments are on, I updated YouTube and restarted my phone, but nothing works!! And when I'm watching a video an ad pops up it shows skip, I click skip then instead of moving on to the video I was watching, it just moved on to another ad! YouTube, please fix my comments and how the ads are like this.
