I have a big gripe with a relatively recent change, which is where if I want to change the quality settings of video playback, I have to go to settings, quality, CUSTOM, and then pick a quality setting. Previously, it was just settings, quality, and then one is selected. If NOTHING else, just make the broader (low, medium, high) options ACTUALLY adhere to the lowest, middlest, and highest quality possible. I'm tired of after clicking on every new video, manually selecting the highest quality. Ty

Keep updating this review and it keeps getting worse. Videos constantly skipping. The mobile app is terrible and same thing videos stutter especially when put into full screen. No matter the resolution. No matter the network. No matter the length. Even short 10 seconds videos. I have premium as well thinking it would make it difference. Still hasn't.

Edited Sept 2024- Has became almost unfunctional. Black screens abound. Started working great again. Changing to 4 stars. Was great. But now the videos (seems to be happening in damn near all of them) have a big white box that takes up half the screen and will not go away no matter how many times I click the X on it.
