Chronic playback issues.. still

For those who count playback as a key feature of a music streaming service, this app is really bad. Only plays music about half the times. This has been an issue with the app for the last year, across software updates. Also this is by far the worst and least accessible app on my phone. Tiny little icons reveal long menu with virtually indistinguishable monochromatic icons and text. I get that this is the standard google UI but wow it hurts to use it. (Which I do only because I get it for free as a subscriber to YouTube Red.)
