Ratings and reviews

I never really had a problem with this app until now. I love watching certain ASMR. Being able to hear & watch them like a preview, without having to go into the video saved so much time. I can no longer watch and listen to a video w/o clicking on it & it's just made everything so much more difficult. Why take the option to see & hear a video & make sure it's what you want to watch? Im hoping it's fixed & I can change my review to 5 stars. For now it's not worth the time & trouble.

Great app when it's not broken. Unfortunately, most of the time on mobile, it is. YouTube will launch, and force a short to play. This causes the GUI to screw up, and not show the tab that allows you to see your subscriptions or history. Another problem is whenever I try to comment on a video, it breaks my phone's keyboard. It won't let me type, and the keyboard won't dissapear, even when I close the app. This forces me to turn off my phone for 10 seconds before turning it back on. Fix the app.

New galaxy ultra. 500mbs down and 15 up. This app is now useless. I am unable to watch videos at 720p! All videos start at 360 or less. Just a blur on the screen. There is no way to fix this.... honestly it's been happening for over 4 months now. I'm so done with it. When I up the video quality to 720p (which is barely acceptable) I get a circle loading on the video for a minute ir two every minute or less of video. I have seen others with this issue. What is going on?
