3 stars: Google needs to add an option to be able to set video quality for users who have bandwidth caps imposed by their ISPs. This app defaults to the highest available quality if you close out and return to the app. Once I set the quality, it should maintain that setting until it's changed by me.

4 stars: I have two simple requests for the YouTube app for Android TV: - Stop bringing up the menu and covering up the screen for EVERY BUTTON PRESS on the remote. If I'm just fast-forwarding or rewinding, I don't want to see the interface cover the content - Find some way to let us know if a particular video has been watched already. The Suggestions list is full of videos I've already seen, and it's a waste of my time. Otherwise, it's a great experience on the Shield TV device.
3 stars: For 1080p videos, this app is pretty much perfect. 4K is where it fails. It buffers when it wants to and I can never predict whether it will work or buffer endlessly despite my 37Mbps connection. Also, the 4K 60fps videos always freeze, making them pretty much unwatchable.
