FEATURE REQUEST! It would be nice & help if you could organize our subscriptions list back in alphabetical order again instead of having them all scrambled up with no organization to them. It takes forever to scroll through them to find a certain channel you are subscribed to. You can alphabetize them in YouTube on your computer but not on your Android TV App. Makes no sense. How hard is it to write code to fix this. It use to be alphabetized but after an update it went away. Please fix.

Used to work great, but just like everyone else since the last few updates, videos will randomly freeze but the audio will continue. If y'all would please actually fix the issue instead of ignoring it, that would be great. (Also it's not an issue on my end, my WiFi is exentlent and has no problems with anything but this version of YouTube. It's a problem with the app and I and many other people would very much like it fixed.)

The subscriptions are in a seemingly random order on the "Subscriptions" tab. It used to have a suggested ones at the top, followed by the rest in alphabetical order. Made it easy to find the subscribed channel. Now it is a chore trying to locate the one channel I want, or having to type it in every time. Go back to the way it was! (Or at least offer a way to choose sorting options)

Accessibility issue: no option to increase the font size (which is tiny). The ABC on-screen keyboard is a joke, so I started using an external keyboard. Not possible to watch and browse other videos at the same time. Not possible to play picture-in-picture and do other stuff on the TV. The PIP mode should simply close whenever another app starts playing media. What we need is the YT mobile app with QWERTY keyboard and more settings (like font size, interface theme etc.)

Too damn many ads! You MUST watch an ad before EVERY video you choose. The frustrating part is two seconds into the video you realize this isn't what you wanted to see. You go and click on another video and now you MUST watch another ad. And the cycle just keep repeating itself. You end up watching six, seven or even more ads before you get to watch what you're really looking for. And it comes preinstalled (using up your space), so you can't uninstall it. There has to be a device out there that doesn't force their unwanted apps on you, TAKING up all of your space that you could be using for apps that you actually want.

Maybe this seems minor, but it's hard to overstate how distracting the animated thumbnails are, and I can't believe there's no option to disable them. Every single time I highlight a video while browsing, it starts animating away from the static thumbnail that caught my attention, and I immediately wonder whether or not I'm even highlighting the video that I intended anymore. Animated thumbnails provide no value at all and only result in a more distracted browsing experience. Let me turn it off.
