The user-friendly interface and powerful search functionality make it easy to find and enjoy content. Whether you're looking to learn something new or just unwind, YouTube has something for everyone. Highly recommend for anyone looking for versatile and engaging content!

Ads in the middle of videos There's way too many ads. I'm fine with ads that are right before or right after a video. But stop interrupting the middle of a video with ads. People are talking mid-sentence. Or it's in the middle of a song. It's frustrating. As before or after the video don't interrupt it at all compared to ones most often at random points during the video.

Swipe up and down to other videos is terrible, the amount of times I go to swipe to check the time or see if I got any notifications and I get sent to another video is way too much. Plus, swiping back I usually get another set of ads anyways. Whenever that happens I've started just going to other videos services. It's a horrible feature and completely ruins the experience, especially since it's a useless feature for me anyways I can't disable. Disabled the app, it's so miserable to use.
