The app is getting worse and worse to use. They make unnecessary changes to the UI (that are honestly ugly and annoying) and the app often just breaks (i.e: videos having a black screen, shorts not playing in the right order, and other such nonsense things happening.) If YouTube wasn't such a giant in the industry I'd have left at this point. I might just stop using the app if it keeps breaking and getting worse. I pay for YouTube premium and everything

Consistently since conception this app and platform has been mismanaged but Google. Every update contains a new number of bugs and unnecessary changes to the UI. It is advised to update it as little as possible as long as you're not experiencing issues. Want to play music? HERE ARE 50 OTHER RANDOM VIDEOS THERE YOU GO. And operating the queue has become a complete nightmare. It barely functions

App used to be fine, I would love to chill on the couch and watch videos. For the past few days, though, it's been randomly freezing up, especially when watching long-form content. The app lags and only responds around once per second. I have an S24 I bought last year, so it's not like my phone is old or anything. If I want to watch videos, I have to sit at my desk and go on my PC, which, quite frankly, sucks. 1 star until the app is actually usable.
