I just recently started using Youtube Red and an pleased thus far. Having no more ads is awesome and the selection of videos is HUGE. I don't like having a monthly payment for such things usually but I can't do without Youtube Red now.

I have had Youtube Red for the past couple of months. I have highly enjoyed the offline videos, mainly the ability to listen to music. I highly enjoy listening to Youtube Red for music, as it allows me to hear the authentic music video while being offline. I would recommend Youtube Red to anyone looking for a new music program, with the add-on ability to download youtube videos.

This is honestly my favorite streaming service. You will get 2 weeks of premium for free just by logging in, no payment method required. In those two weeks you get the feel of what youtube red would really be like, and for a cheap price you can continue your membership, with a 30 day free trial after the 2 trial weeks! You can skip as many songs as you want, and download up to thousands of songs as well.

My brother is always on youtube and loves it, but he would always say he wanted it without ads. I bought this for him as a gift and he LOVES it. This was such an easy and nice gift and he loved it so much I got it as well. Watching youtube without the ads and having access to extra content is wonderful!

I really like this service because you can download anything on YouTube to listen and or watch to later. This way I find that I can listen to any song where as some companies have limited selection of music and versions. You legit have the entire og YouTube to your disposal to listen to music.

I love that I can close my screen to play music. I do not have to worry about clicking on things or accidentally changing the song. It has a wide range of options and is very easy to navigate. Also very cheap. The customer service people were very nice and understanding when I called them.

YouTube Red is amazing when it comes to streaming my music. It is fast to find songs and it is so easy to make playlists and find others playlists you like. I find all my music from YouTube red and I love being able to constantly have music I can listen to.

YouTube Red is great app to play streaming music when you leave the app. It's finally nice to have YouTube play videos when you leave the app! You can also watch shows on the app and play them for free once you pay for the service.

I used Youtube Red for a few months but cancelled my subscription after that. There is a benefit of no ads on Youtube but I gotta say that getting rid of the 5-15 seconds with the subscription is not worth ten dollars. I do not reccomend getting Youtube Red unless you are planning to use it to play music all the time, I personally rather sit through the ads.

After a year long free trial of YouTube premium, I realized that free YouTube is now so inundated with ads that it is basically unusable. Therefore Premium is almost more of a necessary evil than a luxury. The music app is on par with Spotify however.

Totally worth the money! Ads on Youtube are so annoying so for a small $10/month, you get that plus unlimited free music with YouTube music. Totally worth it for how much we watch Youtube.

YouTube Red is great because you don't have any ads before your music. There are some music covers and other songs that are only on YouTube, so it's great to have YouTube Red because you can listen and close the app and do other things on your phone while the music is playing.

I tried Youtube Red for awhile and thought it was pretty cool. I liked that I could play music and turn my screen off without the music cutting off like it normally does. In the end I just didn't see the value in continuing to pay for it as I already had Sirius XM and Pandora but it was cool when I did use it and worked well!

I had the Youtube Red free trial and I did like it. Not having to deal with annoying ads was nice and being able to use other apps while I listened to music was great. But when it came down to spending $10 a month, it just didn't seem worth it. However, I decided to try it out for a month but in the end I really just felt like I was wasting money,

I got this included in my Google Music subscription and this is the best way to experience YouTube. No ads. My kids love it because you can listen to the videos with your screen off, which is what my kids do with some music.

I don't like the new approach of adding more and more ads to push consumers to their ad-free product that YouTube seems to have taken. Their music app isn't much better than rival companies who don't take that parasitic approach. The functionality, the design, the music selection/quality, and the cost aren't any better/are worse than other music streaming services, so I'd recommend something else.

Youtube Red isn't my favorite music streaming site, because the variety and accessibility just isn't there. They claim to work without wifi, but in my personal experience that isn't the case. I switched from Youtube Red to Spotify because their site is much more dependable and worth the money

Better than youtube for sure. You can stream live videos, live music and turn off your phone or use another app. In all aspects it’s a multitasking app that everyone needs on their device and in their lives.

Youtube Red (now just Youtube Premium) is so annoying. Youtube in general has gone downhill. The second they tried to switch over to a streaming platform they died. Youtube "Red" is overpriced and annoying. Plus auto play never plays songs I like. Why pay for a service that you don't even use? Cancelled after 4 days.

It’s a decent streaming service at the best. It lets you play YouTube music while the app is closed, which should be a free feature, and takes away ads. And that’s only when you’re paying $12 a month. The free version is no better than normal YouTube. It is highly inferior as a whole when compared to other music streaming services.

While U2 bread is seemingly a great idea on paper, the aspect is streaming music is lacking compared to other services out there. There are more artist sure but the total package is responsive than other alternatives.

I personally don't see Youtube Red as that big of an upgrade when compared to normal Youtube.. I find the constant ads for it annoying and when I did try it I was disappointed to see it wasn't that big of an upgrade. Bad, especially when compared to other music streaming apps.
