After a recent update, it seems as though full screen videos that don't match the aspect ratio of the display have grey bars instead of black bars, even when Ambient mode is off. this looks significantly worse, and if I didn't want the bars to be black I'd turn on Ambient mode. Also, the queue is completely broken. videos occasionally just don't get added, sometimes when clicking on a different video while in the middle of the queue it will just completely queue, which is infuriating.

Honestly, what's the point of paying the subscription if the music even downloaded Playlist shuts off repeatedly. when it's supposed to be able to play in the background and with download Playlist without an internet connection yet it chooses to shut off even right in the middle of a good song. If this keeps up, I'm going to have to cancel my subscription I've put up with it for two months and I won't put up with it much longer. Right now, I can't recommend YouTube, especially the subscription.

I got this app and service for NCAA basketball games. I constantly have the issue of the stream restarting much earlier in the game where I have to rejoin live. This has caused me to miss a lot of live action. Not sure if my cell service with T-Mobile is part of the issue (wouldn't surprise me) but my experience with this service has been bad.
