I use it because YouTube music is included and it's great while driving, it allows background play even with the screen off (I'm talking about mobile).

There's something more, but nothing that a pro user cannot already do with third tools.

I find it funny how sometimes apps "create value" by taking something away which is included by default in similar products and goes without saying.

In this context: YouTube is the only app I know which is denying to work when put into background or with the screen off.

Or take some car manufacturers who start asking for a fee just to use basic functionality.
