If you’re gonna force people to buy your premium make it affordable for everyone. Having 8 ads before, in the middle of, and after a video is beyond annoying. And the next button feature doesn’t need to exist. The fact that you added it proves you’re putting too many ads in your forced as segments. People who can’t afford it use ad blockers cause it’s significantly cheaper. Stop with the ad overflow and people will probably flock to this app more, you’re being outclassed by every other streaming platform and it’s mainly cause yall don’t make your ad count and ad times reasonable. 5+ ads, each like 30+ seconds in length, AND an inability to skip until it’s the last ad? Like really? And work on banning click bait ads there’s way too many of those. I enjoy YT but honestly it’s becoming unbearable to be on cause unless it’s mobile phone you’re BOMBARDED with ad after ad before you can watch a two minute video the only way it makes sense is when you’re watching a 5+ hour video, and the ad spam lets you have a certain amount of time (like 15-30 mins) without them. Blocking someone from viewing cause you guys make viewing an unreasonable pain is not fair to the people who can’t afford your over priced premium. If people are having to use ad blockers it should be a hint y’all need to make changes. So take that hint and for once make a change everyone will love

Horrible algorithm that gets hung up all the time leaving me unable to find anything—even if i search for it. Also, i have to use a third party to download videos in 4K. My internet is good but it doesnt work streaming 4K., and downloads arent an option. If i have to use a third party to download videos, so i can watch them—then what am i even paying for premium for anyways? I might as well just cancel if i am gonna do this much work to watch them like this. Pirating would be easier. I want to pay for things, and actually receive them. If i can’t then what was the point? Are you really going to push me to figuring out how to do this in this day of age? You wont even let me pause the video and load it so it will play. It can download a video in high definition faster than it can stream it. Feels intentional. Like you want me to buy a new computer or something. It will only be a matter of time before capitalism replaces you, or socialism takes you over… wouldnt that be nice to lose control over one of the biggest apps in the world because you cant handle not trying to get more from every single angle? I thought this was supposed to distract us from our problems and make them feel solved, not drive us so crazy that it inspires us how to fix the entire system. And if you do want a better world, why do you have to get there in the most annoying way possible?

Update causes app to no longer recognize Apple lightening digital a/v adapter. Now my phone will only do screen mirroring (it used to automatically switch it to AirPlay mode), which I personally would not mind, except that for some reason, i can no longer play a playlist if I am using my adapter. The app will play one video and then stop, even though I am supposed to be playing a playlist. I am not talking about auto play. I am referring to a playlist. And auto play does not work with playlists — because it is a playlist. I used to be able to plug in my adapter, shuffle a playlist and go on about my day with my phone playing video after video. Now, I use my adapter and then have to run back to my phone every time a video ends. Not good —not happy. This is not an IOS issue because it was doing this before I updated. In fact, I updated my phone because I thought it would resolve the problem. I keep trying to find solutions, but nothing has corrected something that was not an issue until now.

I’m usually in favour of making continuous improvements to apps, but some of the recent changes just degrade the experience and make the app harder to use. Two that stand out are the recent change in the location of the “X” button. It was already bad enough that Google force an unintuitive and friction-laden paradigm for closing a video, where you have to swipe it to make it smaller and then hit the X button. Now the location of the X button has moved to the top left of that minimised picture and the thumb hit area appears smaller, which means way too often I accidentally select the video thumbnail behind it and play the next video, which isn’t what I wanted, so I have to go through that whole process again to close yet another video to finally go and select what I want to watch. The second infuriating change is sticking a circle with the play logo on top of your playing video if it’s not fullscreen? What’s the point of this? I can see the video playing, I don’t need another visual cue to tell me it is playing, so this is nothing but an irritant, distracting from the video I’m watching. Please reverse these changes or at least give me the option to remove them. There are lots of changes that will improve the app that I’m sure will make the experience better. These two were a big miss!

I’ve used the YT app on both my iPhone and iPad for years and I didn’t start noticing a decline in quality between devices until this year. Removing the decline button and streamlining the UI was a mistake. Algorithm is worse too; I need to search for creators I like instead of being recommended similar videos. Despite notifications being on, I’m not notified half the time a creator I follow posts something. Seems like YT is shadow banning certain content they disagree with. Also, the app on iPad has so many more bugs than it used to in my experience. The amount of times the app freezes when I tap to open a video, have unsynced audio, or the drag down feature to swipe out of a video not working is ridiculous. The saved playlist pop up is so wacky on iPad, if you have multiple playlists saved like I do, it takes up so much space on the screen and unlike on desktop and iPhone YT, there’s no “done” button at the bottom to take you out of the dialogue box—you need to tap somewhere randomly on the screen to close the window. I’m probably using YT on my iPad 10-15 hours per week and I need to restart the app 2-3 times or more every week to fix a bug. I simply don’t encounter these bugs on the YT app on my phone nor on desktop.

I received another violation and takedown on a different 6year old video criticizing ads that suggested eating disorders in a subculture. I clearly stated that I DID NOT CONDONE it and even had trigger warnings in the video. The other video was able to be put back up with an age restriction, so why can’t a follow up video critique get the same treatment? I knew I should have downloaded the vids after the first bogus removal WITH the trigger warnings I added in. However, this app has allowed and continued to allow a popular anorexic YouTuber to keep her channel for YEARS who plays into how skeletal she looks where people have reported discomfort seeing her. This app has allowed a different YouTuber to make content off her eating disorder, yet that content is allowed. The hypocrisy and possible racism is DEAFENING. If this was because someone reported my content to silence my mission after they defamed me, I want names or will go the route of subpoena for them so I can pursue legal action. Also, some ux features are missing for pc users: the ability to scroll down through a playlist when video is playing, scroll through playlists to add new videos when watching them, and scroll down from the pop up for channel info/about. It’s been like that for years and is frustrating to deal with.

It’s been very glitchy lately! And my complaint? Biggest, is you will take a reported/or struck vid down before reviewing it, then if it’s ok? Goes back up. But YT Should review FIRST! 2nd and most of all! YT will pull a video for practically nothing, or with Factual info! BUT! You will allow Vile and I mean VILE, VICIOUS, THREATENING and DOXXING, Putting out people’s information public or private, it’s still wrong! People going after kids! Lastly! The harassment and bullying of child victims parents 🤬🤬 this has actually led to a Creator getting a RO! Going to jail! Another Creator being called and accused of being a child predator! He’s NOT, proven, but when it’s persistently spread around YT streets? But I want to know when YT is going to change? Change and start protecting the Parents? And everyone actually! VICTIMS! Your TOS needs updating like yesterday! Also the censorship is horrible! We can do everything we do here on Rumble, other platforms and especially X and no censorship. If you haven’t realized people are moving. I like this platform though to stream or publish content. So I’m hoping I will see changes very soon! Thanks so much!

The way the layout of the video controls and settings has been completely rearranged and changed is either annoying, pointless, or just makes the user interface worse altogether. Every time I double tap to skip ahead or go back, the pause symbol stays on my screen unless I tap the screen to bring up the video captions and time bar then tap it again to make them go away. I’ve also had the time bar just stay on the screen no matter what I tried to do unless I just closed the app. Not having the button to switch from full screen to thumbnail view in the bottom right corner, or at least be able to customize if you want to accommodate left handed users, is very annoying because it’s now on the farthest corner away from where my thumb can most easily reach it. I’ve also constantly had videos randomly pause on me for no reason with nothing touching the screen. These changes and glitches have really made the experience of using this app over the past few weeks very annoying compared to the previous interface beyond just struggling to get used to a new layout

Okay , so a while back i used to watch the film melanie martinez made . barely any ads . almost none at all . maybe like 3 the whole music film , but now when i watch there is ads in BETWEEN the music . its so frustrating trying to listen to it while ads keep playing throughout the whole thing . probably about 10 ads nn i havent even finished the music film yet . its also not just the film , whenever i click on a video there is ALWAYS an ad . literally every video i click on . i could be finished watching a video that just had an ad at the beginning of it , click on another one nn there are 2 ads . sometimes i can skip sometimes i cant . its super frustrating nn i see some other people in the reviews having these same problems . other than that this is a great app to socialize , have fun , make friends , nn make communities . i like that yu can brand merch on here , make videos about video games , make/upload music videos nn music on here , etc . i love this app . jst please cut down on the ads . it is literally infuriating . thank yu !
