I don't like the the new page format on my phone. Instead of a large thumbnail, I get a grid of tiny ones that don't give me any idea of what each video contains. Is there a setting that will reset this? New edit: this new update makes it nearly impossible to dismiss the video. You back out, which minimizes the video, but then every attempt to press the 'x' to dismiss just maximizes the video again. Even after I just watched it. I just want to go back to my feed. Beyond irritating!

When I click on the screen during a video, it shades the screen with its button features, like fast forward, rewind, etc., but the shade will not disappear if I touch the screen again or wait for a few seconds. The shaded features screen use to disappear when I pressed on the screen or waited a few seconds. I have to press the X button to make it go away. It's rather annoying. The frequency of the ads are rather annoying as well, especially at the end of the video.

For a while the app was put back to its original format for a while, it worked again. Swiping down put video at the bottom in a ribbon. Speed control you could select in . 25 increments. Swiping down now is even worse than before. Opens mini player if you try to x out of the video and close the app, when you reopen the app the last video that was x out is back in mini player mode. This whole format just sucks. So hard to navigate mini player is all over the screen, just no consistency. One star.
