Intro

YouTube is the world's largest online video sharing and streaming platform, revolutionizing the way we consume and interact with multimedia content. Launched in 2005, it has grown exponentially to become a household name, hosting a diverse range of videos from educational tutorials and music videos to vlogs and live streams. With its user-friendly interface and extensive content library, YouTube offers a window into every corner of human interest and creativity.

Function

Core functionalities of YouTube include video uploading, sharing, and watching. Users can create personal channels to showcase their content, subscribe to other channels, like, comment, and share videos across social media platforms. Advanced search filters and algorithm-driven recommendations personalize the viewing experience. Additionally, YouTube offers monetization opportunities through ads and YouTube Premium, a subscription service for ad-free viewing and exclusive content.

User experience

The YouTube app provides a seamless and immersive experience, adapting to various devices and screen sizes. Its intuitive design ensures easy navigation, allowing users to quickly find desired content. Features such as dark mode, offline downloads, and the ability to create playlists enhance user convenience. High-definition playback and adaptive streaming technology ensure optimal video quality based on internet speed.

Advantage

One of YouTube’s greatest strengths lies in its unparalleled content diversity. It serves as a platform for both amateur creators and professional media houses, fostering a community where anyone can share their voice or talent. The integration with Google services and robust analytics tools empower creators to understand and grow their audience. Moreover, YouTube’s learning resources are vast, making it an invaluable educational tool.

Shortcoming

Despite its many strengths, YouTube faces criticism for issues related to content moderation and copyright infringement. The platform’s reliance on automated systems for content policing sometimes leads to inaccurate takedowns or inappropriate content slipping through. Additionally, the increasing presence of ads, especially for non-Premium users, can disrupt the viewing experience. Some users also express concerns over data privacy and the potential for addictive behavior due to the endless scroll and recommendation features.

I liked the old portrait mode design where when a landscape orientation video is played in portrait mode on the phone, the unused part of the screen would just go full black. This helped save battery and at times when I was low on battery, I purposely watched landscape videos in portrait to save battery as I have an LED display that switches off areas that are full black. Now the extra area is filled with colour effects, which also doesn't look that good. Can there be an option to turn it off?

I have been using YouTube for a considerable period, and lately I have observed technical glitches, such as the issue of the video buttons disappearing quickly and looking for a new video whenever i am on fullscreen. Unlike previously, this issue did not occur. Additionally i would like to inquire if there is an option to retain the pitch or tone of sound when speeding up a video. Thank you for your attention, and those are all the concerns I have.

As of Version 19.18.34 (May 2024). I noticed that the Captions don't work properly & oftentime they won't get displayed at all. I tried clicking English (auto-generated), English, Auto-translate, etc, none of them worked. Even if it's only a minor issue, but please fix it anyway, since I prefer to watch most videos with the captions turned on. Update: it's been fixed!👍 Thanks!🙏

YouTube is an essential app for entertainment, education, and staying updated with the latest trends.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for versatile and engaging content!

This app is really helpful and enjoyable at the same time. I learned history because of this incredible app, I learned everything. Its getting even better when it keeps updating. But besides of this useful app, I have some problems. and its the only one problem that it's annoying me, And i was talking about ads. It keeps popping up whenever im watching videos. I really hate it, It makes me frustrated, and then when you skip it, not for long, another one will pop out of nowhere....

Great app for playing video. Although you can only view those available in YouTube, no problem. Caption, full/short screen with swiping, muted playback, zooming of video in online mode, speed playback , ambient mode are some of the best features available. But I also hate some things like you can download only upto 360p (before we can download upto 720p), switching to video quality is totally a mess, I mean not simplified, when trying to comment the keyboard got freeze. Please sove this problem.

YouTube is like a giant library where you can watch all sorts of videos, from funny clips to educational tutorials. It's easy to use and has a lot of stuff for everyone. You can also talk to other people and creators by leaving comments or liking videos. But sometimes, there are ads that pop up and interrupt your watching. Overall, it's a great place to find videos on anything you're interested in!

Obviously a great app, best at what it does... The premium subscription is really worth it if you can afford it... Only issue I have is videos stopping after about a minute after my screen locks if I'm listening to something walking to town or wherever - I dunno if that is the app or my phone settings tho so I'm thinking the benefit of the doubt but please try resolve this issue... Also, the ability to create short (restricted) voice or video clips for a comment or reply to a comment...

I like the updates regarding the video chapter selection for the longer videos, but the ads forced me to sign up for premium. I like the fact that the new update lets me choose the thumbnail when uploading "Shorts" videos. That really helps to better showcase what the video looks like. Thanks for adding that feature. The "skip commonly skipped section" button is AMAZING. I pay for Premium, and watching baked-in ads makes me die inside (ads are subliminal messages), so I love the new feature!

My phone is very recent and this app sometimes will darken the image of my video if I try to drag to play specific part of a video. It stays dark and doesn't brighten up unless close the app. It happens very frequently. 9/10 it'll happen. Please fix. Edit: The issue seems to have been fixed. Pretty quickly too. Thank you!
