Oh yeah I concur with all of that. Also I don't like the fact that it auto plays the next video in your search, it doesn't let you see the full title of a video. Navigation is slow and cumbersome, it's buggy, nor similar video suggestions or more from this user option.
Quite frankly it is a very poor improvement but I guess they are trying to standardise it across platforms which means that a lot of stuff is going to be sacraficed to make it simple to use.
No favourites or subscriptions is just madness though surely that is how most people use YouTube? Hopefully there will be a update to address these issues.
Oh and most annoying of all go to explore this show and select YouTube watch the video then you are stuck in the app I could not find a way back to the screen I had just come from. I had to press exit which dumps you back in live TV.
But at least we can watch HD video which looks a thousand times better and search using a keyboard or smartphone/tablet/PC.
