I use this app more than any other on my phone. Never had an issue until now. The 'play something' button is intrusive and terrible. I hate it and my review will stay at 1 star until you add a setting to remove it. It is placed directly where the majority of people interact with the phone; bottom right of the screen. So easy to accidentally touch it, and I _never_ want to touch it.

Every upgrade is a nightmare.Videos take forever to load, no matter how many times you try to refresh the same stuff is recommended to you that you're not even remotely interested in, notifications on subs you are into fail to come through and my current favorite now, playlist are not appropriately saving. For two days now I've not been able to add/delete videos in my watch later playlist. It says it's saved, reopen the app and it's like it never happened. It's infuriating! Canceling Premium!

Please fix the app. The que specifically does not work correctly. I can put four or five or six things in there and they will disappear after a short time or if I stop watching for a little bit. It remembers the last video I was on, but not the rest of the queue. I'd really like that to work. Also, YouTube can remember where I was in a video, unless it's part of a playlist. If I accidentally skipped to a different video and then skip back it makes me start all over again. Thank you.
