Unfortunately with this being such a widely used app, I can't say it's necessarily bad or to not use it, because everybody uses YouTube. Unfortunately. Mobile app works very well however we have finally hit the era where ads constantly pop up WHILE YOU ARE WATCHING THE VIDEO. Yeah, double ads and unskippable ads are a trouble of the past because now I can no longer watch anything monetized without having to constantly tap away a pop up that appears every 5 minutes or less. This is just trash.

I'm not usually a person to complain about the ads, but let me tell you that the ads are obnoxious on lomger videos. I get 1 or 2 at the beginning, then I get another 2 in just one minute of the video, then 2 more two minutes later, and so on. Ads are important for ad free apps but at the same time, it gets extremely annoying. It's really not necessary to show a million ads in one video down your throat, I just want to enjoy YouTube without problems.

play I have been using the App instead of just going to the website for a very long time. I have videos saved into a number of playlists that I have built up for years and they're very important to me as I use them for various purposes. the other day my playlists all vanished. they might still be saved so I could search for them and find them but the section for them in my account has vanished. 2 stars, and I'm tempted to give the app 1 star. I'm going to go ahead and do that. This is major.
