HI Deidre, The reasons that YouPlayer has such a low rating are these.
For those of us who have had this app for a while, there was the opportunity to pay for an add-free version. Some, such as myself did that. This was fine for a while until the developers basically said now you need to either purchase the premium version or the app would randomly (or about twenty seconds into some videos) exit and bring up the App Store app on the phone and drop you at a random page. This was based on ads in the YouPlayer app but unlike normal iAds, this required no action from the user. So basically you would be watching a video and the app would randomly quit and the App Store would come up to a completely unrelated app. Needless to say, this could be infuriating when one could simply just not watch a video because the app would just keep quitting again and again even after the ad-free version had been purchased. Lastly, when one then purchased the 'premium' version of YouPlayer, to make these ads go away yet again, now the app sometimes stops playback in the middle of videos and restarts the video you are listening to from the beginning. So For those of us who have had to purchase this app basically twice, we now get a version that is unstable and restarts videos with no warning / work-arounds. This video restart issue may not seem like much but in long videos you can imagine how annoying it can be. Sorry for the long note but I just wanted to be thorough. :) Have a great day!

I see it only got 2 stars! Prices are not listed on the list of apps that come up, just a "get" button. I take it the price was incidental?

There is also a very good app called YouPlayer which I find easier to use than the native YouTube app. Just my thoughts. God bless!
