Youtube Prime is an excellent option for anyone but especially for heavy users like myself. It removes all the ads (commercials) which not only allows me to enjoy the videos more, it saves me a considerable amount of time. Especially with the number of hour plus documentries I watch.
The one thing that is causing me an increasing dissatisfaction is the extensive amount of censorship. A few of the channels I follow have been demonized which means that although Youtube is benefiting from my Premium subscription, the content creators of the videos I watch are not. In my opinion this is a violation of the 1st Amendment of our Constitution. Speach you do not agree with is still protected speach.
I installed the app on My Firestick or my SmartTV, one of them (smile). It's great the access we have via the internet to see just about any and everything for free! Kind of amazing. Really don't need live TV at all anymore. However, even free really costs something. I feel like advertising is over the top now for those of us who can't pay for streaming service or choose not to pay. I find myself sometimes sitting there frustrated because I can't honestly budget in the cost to get rid of advertising. I don't mind advertising. It's like commercials on TV but the way ads just pop up...I don't know. LOL.
Regularly does not play videos which makes the app useless. Whatever video I play, the app starts to play for 1-2 seconds and then buffers forever and never plays. But I don't have these problems when I play the same videos from a different device and platform (e.g. iOS) and stream to Chromecast. It's not an internet connection problem because all the devices I'm using are on the same network. Also don't like there is no ability to queue videos to play unlike the iOS app. Reason I got a Fire Stick is to use apps on the Fire Stick so it makes it pointless if I can't use the YouTube app for FireTV and have to use other devices.
I am so glad the Youtube is back. The app was was what made me want to buy a Fire Stick about 3 years ago, and they discontinued it a week after. Soon disappointed about that! I had to buy a Roku Stick also in order to watch YouTube on tv, which I'd rather do than on my computer. I really like the app and the picture quality is awesome! I just like watching music, comedy, and DIY videos so some of the features I don't use and cannot comment on. However, here is my experience so far:
The interface is a little different from a computer screen in that you can't see the comment section. Although you have to enter searches letter by letter using the remote, the most popular results appear quickly. So you don't waste time typing entire titles. There are ads prior to each video play, but no banners during video play. The next video in line plays even if you turn off autoplay. You can create a video library of saved videos and get updates from your subscriptions.

I only have 10 mbps internet service where I live and I was worried about having too little bandwidth to accommodate the Live TV. Not to worry it works just fine even with other devices being used at the same time. It even was usable with two live streams going at once. Pleasantly surprised and would recommend this to all cable and satellite users especially Suddenlink which is the worst TV provider on the planet. I had to get that in LOL.

I’m a big Youtube fan, but sometimes (lately) the videos are out of sync or they skip. It’s like playing a bad cd from way back. I’d pay the fees to get rid of the annoying ads but $10.00 a month just adds to all my other monthly payments. Too much for someone who’s retired. All in all, I’m on Youtube every single day and night. Sometimes all day and night. I love music and watch my favorite bands. The information on there has helped a lot with gardening tips and tons of other tutorials that are super interesting.

I’ve used this app on many different FireTV devices for years with only small issues. However, the latest update causes a constant cracking in the audio on the FireTV Cube.
The cracking wasn’t present in the old version of the app. I wish it was easy to rollback to the old version.

It's been great for some topics I am interested in, think it could be better with a view to the adverts, YouTube could make it so you have to watch adverts at the beginning and end of the topics you are interested in, instead of interrupting with ads through the video, I know you can have an ad free version but more money out of your pocket so I won't be paying
Finally found the real YouTube app for my Amazon Fire Stick. Have previously been using what I thought was the real app but now I think it was a third party browser version. Brilliant app.
Da recensire c'è ben poco su un prodotto /applicazione web così collaudata e strutturata. L'applicazione non comporta nessuna sorta di problema critico strutturale ma nella versione free è diventata al quanto inutilizzabile per via della troppa, troppa, troppa pubblicità, oltre ai banner pop-up la cosa più fastidiosa è il fatto che blocchi un video per trasmettere Pubblicità. Troppo per un servizio che non sostiene tasse di alcun genere. Ma d'altronde l'azienda madre è famosa per tutto ciò che ha combinato e che continua a fare negli ultimi anni. Ormai la fa da padrona incontrastata e nessuno la può toccare!.Peccato internet era nato con uno scopo ben diverso da tutto ciò e per mezzo di queste aziende siamo costretti a tenere una monopolizzaziome anche su uno degli strumenti che doveva essere libero da tutto ciò.
This app completely ruined my YouTube watching on TV. I don't know what's going on but video is always late and it's not in sinc with sound... Just painful to watch anything. And then, when you turn off Fire stick/TV, videos keep on playing, like it's on auto-play. In the morning my history off YouTube showed that I watched like 50 videos. The app I used before didn't have these bugs but it's not available anymore. I hope they will fix it and I can go back to watching YouTube on TV..
