I love to watch the videos that others make, and there's quite a variety to watch. Everyone knows that, but the app has tons of issues. My setting are on the highest they can be, but for some reason, the app just goes through this phase where videoa automatically change to the lowest setting even though my app setting are still on high, often during this phase, videos will keep stopping and starting and the sound quality drops for no reason! Edit: They continue to update, but still no fix...

And now a bonus annoyance that it's loading shorts when I launch. Pointless AI bits that you can't turn off. I don't want or need an ai generated summary, it's just taking up real estate that could have something more useful in it. Enough of this AI rubbish not everyone thinks it's great at least let us turn it off please. You're also missing a trick with premium. If the price point was lower I'd happily cough up but I'm not spending more than Netflix for YouTube. Come on, it's YouTube.

worse with each update. the autodubbed is an absolute nightmare, can't make sense of any of it , plus I speak several languages and so I don't need it but I am forced to have it every time I download or open a video. quite few bugs with the app, especially when the internet connection is low. I can't always access the downloads.. in some instances the voice doesn't syncing with the picture... too many reels, even if I put to see less they always come back, the worst product purchased ever...
