This app is a very good app to watch videos or make videos!! However, my comments have been disabled for almost maybe 3 years now, even though it shows that my comments are on, I updated YouTube and restarted my phone, but nothing works!! And when I'm watching a video an ad pops up it shows skip, I click skip then instead of moving on to the video I was watching, it just moved on to another ad! YouTube, please fix my comments and how the ads are like this.

Since I've been using YouTube on Andriod, I've noticed a few bugs, particularly in the way it opens ads when clicked. It does not use the default browser but instead opens its own that puts the video in the corner. Not so bad, but if you try to click back, close the ad, or maximize the video, the app crashes. If I'm lucky, it remembers what I was doing before it crashed. Otherwise, the app works as advertised. To be sure, I don't voluntarily click ads. That's a touch sensitivity issue.

Over the last few days You Tube screen has not behaved well, at all. I can't minimize screen while changing page to browse or do something else. The screen retains the menu selections(like when u pause video and then go back to play) and don't fade away until you press the "X" at the top right of the screen. Other issues akso...like forwarding at random times...not very often, but enough to know there IS A PROBLEM!
