YouTube: Watch, Listen, Stream Ratings and Reviews

I love this app. I have a channel with a couple subs, videos and everything. I use it everyday. I have a suggestion though. It is that mindplayer is kept on even for videos set for kids. Many videos are set for kids and not only enjoyed by kids. It gets really annoying when I’m watching a video set for kids, I go to my recommended and it isn’t playing. Please change this. I also a bug I would love fixed. I also use YT shorts daily. Some of the shorts decide not to load sometimes. I have to scroll up to the previous one and go back for it to work, it’s really annoying. Sometimes it also just doesn’t load at all and I have to skip watching it. (It’s not my Wi-Fi that’s causing this problem). One more suggestion I have is pls add 1.10 playback speed. Please take my suggestions into consideration. Thanks, Adi, a person who loves YT and uses it daily.

i’ve switched to odysee and I like it way better same for peertube, the ads now jump scare you, and ever since shorts have came out they’ve been highly addictive for someone who has some disabilities, I find it hard to learn anything or anymore cause it just seems like an app for fun. premium was OK for a while, but if you’re like me and you work at like a supermarket or store it’s half of your paycheck after 6 months every darn time you get paid. before I remember it was easier to buy and it was way cheaper. well, once that people could download videos off of third-party websites, they started over pricing it because they’re just a bunch of scums. I have a very slight memory of it being five dollars per month and now they bumped it all the way up to 13. no kid in their college dorm would even pay for that for sure. but a kid with a laptop would definitely download videos through the third-party software and services then even pay for the subscription. good luck if you ever see this unless your family is billionaires in the USA or anywhere else, if your life scenario is even worse, you’re never paying for premium. I hope all of you guys have an amazing day if you read this.

Tendrá mis 5 estrellas cuando lo arreglen. Tiene muchos fallas, la primera es después de un anuncio la pantalla se vuelve pequeña y queda en una esquina. La otra es que si le das hacia arriba mientras ves el video vertical con la pantalla pequeña, se vuelve pequeña también, la tercera es que si estás reproduciendo el video en manera vertical y tratas de bajar la imagen del video se traba en muchas ocasiones. Y en los video verticales se traba al pasar de video y las franjas negras que habían antes que hacía menos consumo por favor vuelvan a ponerlas. No hace falta efectos de colore en las franjas o coloquen una opción que no sea poner el dispositivo en modo ahorro. Mil gracias por favor arréglenlo.

It will have my 5 stars when they fix it. It has many flaws, the first is after an announcement the screen becomes small and is in a corner. The other is that if you hit it up while you watch the vertical video with the small screen, it becomes small too, the third is that if you are playing the video vertically and you try to lower the image of the video it gets stuck on many occasions. And in the vertical video it is locked when passing the video and the black stripes that were before that made less consumption please put them back on. There is no need for color effects on the stripes or put an option other than putting the device in saving mode. Thank you very much, please fix it.

If I have already have a style then why are you trying to get me to watch new stuff? I’ll just search it if I want to you think I have this weird obsession with bears BEARS! like I do not care, I just wanna see a four wheeler pop wheelie is it that hard let me change my style if I want to every video, I scroll through just about bears thats IT please let me live to see my videos that I want to see if I want to change it I’ll change it 👍 Also, I didn’t like the new comment thing. I think it’s terrible. I’m on the side all the time and I could never find the stuff that I like. I would just like to watch the stuff I want. And I hate when you search stuff and it just gets off the topic. like what the heck but this is a really good app. It has a lot of things to it, but I don’t think it knows what I dislike button is if I dislike something and it keeps popping up and I keep disliking it till I physically have to remove it i’m so sorry this doesn’t make any sense. I’ll try to make it better but what I’m basically trying to say is please let me watch the videos that I like. I don’t like seeing other videos that I don’t even care about when I try to remove them, they just keep popping up in different videos, but the same sound. peace.✌️

They treat creators horribly. The are basically a monopoly so have no incentive to prioritize the customer experience over anything. I want to listen to long form videos and primarily educational science content… you know what’s annoying when trying to do that? Not being able to see downvotes so you can’t immediately tell if a video is worth your time. Almost as annoying having shorts rammed down your throat when you don’t want to see ANY short form content… I can’t wait till more creators I follow move over to competitors so I can completely abandon this app and platform since they don’t bother trying to optimize it in a way I can actually customize what I want to see completely and immediately tell if something is worth watching due to vote ratios. Tired of them prioritizing things I don’t want to watch over what they want me to see. If I downvote someone I subscribe to once that is on their list of creators they don’t like, it disappears from my feed until I manually go to their vids again, but if I downvote ones they consider friendly they won’t stop showing up.

Once again rating this app low because I love using it for the CONTENT CREATORS and the content they create - unfortunate it’s this terrible of an application that content creators have to use to get viewership. You’re so dead set on bowing to TikTok and copying everyone else that you just take TikTok ads and don’t bother to QA the features? The orientation gets locked by these horribly oriented ads that mess up the video I’m watching and disrupt that orientation. You’ve increased the frequency of ads with a more recent update (yeah it was very noticeable) and changed ads to display ad information in the screen so it’s harder to skip these horribly tailored ads. Also, with a recent update, no thumbnails display for content. Content is slow to even display in my feed and I have no images. I try to reload the app and/or refresh the screen, and I get one additional video with a thumbnail. Do it again - 1 MORE video with a thumbnail and everything else is still not loaded. Just overall a poor performance and application with how much is dedicated to it. Do some QA before deploying these changes.

Suggested songs can be irrelevant to insulting to the songs I chose to listen to. The next-up song generated are often the same song I’m already listening to but by a different uploader. The next-up songs are often not the same genre or mood, but more just the same time period but chart toppers. When I scroll to see auto play suggestions, auto play stops, so no music plays until I scroll back up. When I download songs, they can be deleted by the uploader and I won’t even know which song it was.
And the most annoying - when I see a song that is “next up” in autoplay, and I click “not interested “ for that song, I’m notified it won’t show up anymore, it disappears, and then autoplay plays that song right after.
Also, if I search a song I’ve searched before, the search still puts songs by the same name first (often contemporary songs by more contemporary artists), but the song I’ve actually clicked on and played, further down the list.

I understand the need for advertisements but it’s to the point now that it’s negatively impacting my experience. Now that there’s two, back to back ads in every break it’s irritating how much I have to interact with the app just to finish watching the video. The more I use the app the worse the experience gets. I usually like to use the app while doing other things like cooking or cleaning. I mostly listen and don’t always have my phone in hand. In an 11 minute video with 6 ads, the middle break had a 30 second unskippable ad followed by a 2 minute ad that was skippable. Unless I am physically on my phone to return to the video that would be 2:30 minutes of ads just for 1 of 3 ad breaks in an 11 minute video. It’s overload.
I get that using the free version means you gets ads but it’s overshadowing the content. I don’t want to interact this much with something I’m watching. It’s not a game app. Guess I’ll just stick to watching it on the desktop with my ad blocker.

Otherwise, yeah YT is ok. They’re just getting into Pandora territory which is disappointing. Didn’t mind the ads until recently.

Overall, this is a great app and I use it a lot instead of the online website. But the thing is, as a mobile user, when I go to a specific channel and try to see their old community posts [only if I have missed a few days of their content and want to see what they’ve been posting. And if you’re gonna think “just scroll down in the subscriptions tab”, no. I have over a hundred subscriptions with some of them posting every minute; I’m not gonna scroll down that far] it doesn’t let me and says that it isn’t available for mobile or something like that. But I can perfectly see the community tabs in the subscriptions tab? But it still doesn’t work since when I try to open up the comment section area or try to click on the message to see the entire thing, it still says the same thing about it ‘not working’, etc. I’m unable to see full community posts because of this, please fix it.

First off, I love this app. It’s easy to use and a great time-killer; but there is some problems that are annoying. First off, I hate the fact that you get forced to sit through 20 second ads without skipping, every five minutes. And it’s always the same as for me, and I’ve heard that the creators did this on PURPOSE to literally force people to use the Premium edition. Second off, there isn’t a ad timer on my phone that is like “Ads is 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…” but instead the ad just comes out of nowhere. Lastly, there is a weird bug that it something like a PC isn’t updated or the app isn’t correctly updated, Restricted Mode is stuck on and I can’t turn it off saying it’s enforced by an “administrator” and I don’t have an administrator. I hate giving bad reviews, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Please fix these I love this app just there is a few things I don’t like.
