Buggy as all hell. I pay for youtube premium for no ads and the ability to use queues since I travel alot. Half the time, queues crash the app. If you accidentally go to the next video in the queue and then click to go back, it takes you all the way back to the beginning of the video (doesn't do this outside of queue). Privacy settings are a mess. You now have to set every individual Playlist as private instead of being able to make them all private by default (which you used to be able to do).

Latest update, Youtube is now draining batteries 4x faster than normal. My battery would last all day, would get to 30% around 6pm which is when I'm going home. I use Youtube at 9am in the morning listening to Downloaded Songs & Podcasts. UPDATE #1: Haven't tried yet, but turn off Location Services for Youtube. Go to Account > Data Services > Turn Location Off. It may be the reason the battery is draining so fast. UPDATE #2: What I did fixes the issue of battery drain and overheating.

I'm having the same issue as Tony, and apparently 500 some odd others "The application worked okay, has had a few bugs here and there, but the last update caused it to be unusable. The phone heats up, drains the battery, and the video gets choppy until it just crashes. I have the premium subscription, and the content I watch is downloaded, so it's not ads or a buffering issue. If this continues, I'm not paying for the subscription."
