When this app works like its supposed to it's great. When it doesn't it's a nightmare. You can't add things to the queue without it jumping to that video. The only way to fix this is uninstalling all updates down it's original install and then updating again because it won't let you completely uninstall the app as it's preinstalled on newer phones. This queue glitch has been going on for 3 weeks now and likely won't be fixed any time soon as there's been multiple updates to the app.

I've always used YouTube and have typically enjoyed the app. I've been getting very frustrated tho do to whatever has happened to the app. I'll start a video and as usual there will be 2 ads. Usually you can just skip the ad and not worry. The last couple of weeks when I try to watch a video the first ad will play with its 5 seconds til skip and when I go to skip that ad will end but the second one will then play and ill have to wait to skip that one. When it's the same ad it's pretty annoying

Everything was great until about 2 months ago. Never had a problem watching videos & queuing up a list of videos to have play in the background until the app started crashing. No matter what I did/do (uninstalling & reinstalling the app 3 times, updating the app when updates came in, rebooting my phone, force closing & opening app) the app keeps crashing. It has crashed at least 6 times today alone and it's getting worse. I called customer service and they just told me to leave a message here.
