Too many ads in the free version, but I quit my paid subscription after Google failed to fix two support tickets for simple playlist issues that I had. Original review: Please, stop auto play next downloaded video! Why am I seeing ads with my paid premium subscription when cast to TV!? Every time the app updates it turns back on Auto Play. Alphabet seems to be manipulating watch counts to count more YouTube views that I actually view.

The latest update has completely ruined the experience with casting to a TV (which is the only way I watch). Now, you no longer see the prompt allowing you to choose whether you play the video immediately or add it to the Queue, and you can only add to the Queue when you click on the three dots on a video thumbnail and click the menu option for it. Which is acceptable until you want to queue up a video from your notifications. Also, adding playlists to the Queue now no longer works at all.

Intermittent excellence. At times the app functions smoothly and well allowing you to take care of anything you need to do. Other times very prone to crashes. Try to open the app when you don't have service it crashes. Try to download a video, it crashes. Try to add a video to a playlist, same result. Clear cache restart app and phone, still crashing. Works pretty good most of the time though
