Ratings and reviews

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.

Over the last few days You Tube screen has not behaved well, at all. I can't minimize screen while changing page to browse or do something else. The screen retains the menu selections(like when u pause video and then go back to play) and don't fade away until you press the "X" at the top right of the screen. Other issues akso...like forwarding at random times...not very often, but enough to know there IS A PROBLEM!

For the past few months, the application has been experiencing intermittent crashes without any apparent cause. During these instances, the video feed abruptly becomes unavailable, displaying only a circular arrow rotating continuously. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue by closing and relaunching the application, the videos remain inaccessible, appearing as black screens. This situation is particularly frustrating when attempting to play videos that have been queued for viewing.
