Ratings and reviews

Consistently intrusively pops back up under my pull down notifications for videos even when I've turned the app off. Extremely annoying. Other than that, app works fine for the most part, although the user interface changes every once in a while to something harder to use every time. Works decently considering it's currently the only viable streaming option for user made content.

After this last update, my phone battery drains faster than EVER BEFORE. I have always run YouTube in the background while I'm working, listening to podcasts and videos, but now, my phone barely lasts half a work day immediately after the update. I've noticed that even if I'm not charging my phone while watching or listening, it takes twice as long as usual and lasts far less than that.

Update: It's working better today, thankfully. We'll see how goes. Recently the YouTube app for Roku has become almost useless for me. When scrolling through my history or a private playlist, watch a video, & then try to go back to the list it completley loses your place and the screen automatically goes back to the top. Then you have to scroll all the way down again every single time. It's extremely frustrating. I've been a consistent user but if this isn't fixed i will be cancelling Premium.
