I'd like to turn off shorts permanently,I'd expect better signal searching or starting video while working on wifiI'd welcome turn off after adjustable timeI'd welcome more options to exclude some topics, include another and not proposing what i have seen already in the past. Also it would be nice to set up rewinding or speeding up the content while playing with locked screen, I sometimes switch to another video, usually proposed, which I usually do not want to consume. Also some tool to skip paid promotion while using premium

I’ve been using this app for a while now and can confidently say that it’s the worst app on ipad.I keep encountering various bugs, for example, if I watch a video on full screen, after a mid-roll ad the video will automatically exit the full screen mode. Or, when watching streams, if I change the ipad’s orientation, the comment bar in the chat will all of sudden get blocked such that I can no longer tap it to write messages.The ads are also a huge problem - not only the amount is absurd but their distribution as well. If you want to skip the video ahead, you WILL get a new ad, even if you just watched one. The ads play anytime you reopen the app, even if you return to a video you have watched half-way through. The app crashes quite often so the amount of ads just multiply beyond reason.The algorithm also doesn’t make sense. I keep getting recommended videos that I’ve already watched, or made by people that I have already marked as “don’t recommend”.Overall, no other app has ever made me as frustrated.

I have no idea if you guys even know what you’re doing anymore. I feel like every „innovative” idea of your employees are accepted and put in the app right away. The recomendation algorithm is a joke. My main page is only videos about things I never cared about or didn’t even Google for or bunch of videos I already watched a few years ago. The „Not interested” button doesn’t seem to do anything. Meanwhile the creators I like and wish to support are being muted and I have no chance of knowing they added a video. Refreshing the main page maybe results in putting some new boring videos from weird channels but leaves the recommended already watched videos on it. The video quality setting is still not as it was (a list of all available formats) although it was much faster and more comfortable, not to mention the dislike button removal… I sure hope for changes or at least some new rival website.

My beef with this app in the last 5-7 years is advertising. I accept adds on the free tier in general but the execution is just HORRENDOUS!1. It’s often impossible to enter the menu that allows to block an add.2. Blocking the add is VERY OFTEN A WASTE OF MY TIME - I will be seeing the same add in a few minutes. Google says other adds from the same advertiser are not blocked but that’s just a way to force the user into the paid tier. Now I think of this as extortion and will NEVER PAY. 3. The algorithm selecting adds for me is JUST FLAWED - I Keep seeing adds for pet owners although I don’t have nor plan a pet. Same for coffee machines. Same for fitness apps or ADHD apps. I know my phone is spying on me, eavesdropping every conversation so why torturing me?4. The WORST of all is when I suddenly start seeing adds directed at women - Make Up, Intimate Hygiene or the same adds as usual only now with female spin - I’m not LGBTQ and my Google profile is marked as MALE for almost 20 years so why Google, WHY?
