| 2024-11-27 |  | | App is trash now. Running in the background update sucks and continually having issues crashing when scrolling other apps/newsfeeds that have video playing too. Never had this issue prior to the update last month. Customer service useless, have sent countless screenshots and video of the issue and they still are clueless. Would rather punch myself in the face indefinitely than talk in circles with those clowns. I would tolerate this if it was still $40 month, but $100 month, I expect the best. |
| 2024-11-27 |  | | Originally YouTube TV worked fine, the only feature I felt was lacking is a return channel option, where you can switch from one channel back to another with one button. In 2024, YouTube TV has been disconnecting from my phone while casting, it can disconnect after 1 minute or 20 minutes, then when you close it and reopen the app it reopens with the last channel that was playing even if you've selected something else. It gets very irritating when watching a big game for your favorite show. |
| 2024-11-24 |  | | This is the worst app on my phone. I pay for service and get constant black screen every time I try and select a channel or recording. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted cache, etc. I just keep closing and reopening the app and sometimes it works. Oh, and key plays is completely broken. If I record a game and just want to watch the key plays after, it always gets stuck on one particular key play (9 out of 30, for example) and will not progress to the rest, even if I close and reopen it. |
| 2024-11-24 |  | | The app controls often don't work. Casting to a TV is even worse and often disconnects and rewind features are janky. Multiview doesn't let you choose which screen's audio plays while casting. It's sad that Google used to be known as an engineering company and now creates some of the worst functioning and buggy apps in the industry. I consider this unacceptable especially for a high price paid app. |
| 2024-11-24 |  | | I enjoy watching the movies and shows! The only thing that I really don't enjoy is the high cost for the subscription. I barely get my bills paid every month because of low wages and then everything else is going up. I love my TV at night and weekend, but if you tube TV doesn't lower the price soon or give me a discount I will not have a choice but to terminate my subscription. I've talked to a lot of other people that have said the same thing. |
| 2024-11-23 |  | | It's good on the recordings but live is pretty bad. Very choppy and garbled. We just signed up for the free 10 day trial with 4 months discounted. I hope they fix the live feed, that is why we got it. Live local news. It sucks trying to listen to it. IT IS SERIOUSLY POOR QUALITY. |
| 2024-11-14 |  | | My family and I watch a few shows on this app, and there are only a few flaws, but they end up being a very big problem. First of all, we watch this on our main room TV. • It lags all the time • very long, unskipable ads, although we have to pay around $85 per month •after just watching a few minutes of ads, a few minutes later, we'll have to watch even more ads. •the audio gets set back while the video is ahead. •sometimes the screen will just become black or say there has been an error |
| 2024-11-10 |  | | It's below average. I can watch football in multiview. That's one thing, but when it comes to baseball or basketball, especially when it comes to the Cleveland guardians/cavaliers, that's a problem. I'm not paying $70/month to watch only NFL/college football. I want to watch the NBA/NCAA basketball games as well. Also, we just bought the NBA streaming service through YouTube TV, and it's a sh*tshow. Get it together. Very 😞 and I'm recommending to everyone not to get YouTube TV. |
| 2024-11-03 |  | | Very glitchy on many features. 1. When doing multiview the audio does not change when I select a different square while casting to my google cast. 2 If I close our the app while watching a show and then reopen later it come up with audio and a distorted video. 3. when trying to find episodes of shows they sometimes show out of date order so I can't find newer episodes on shows sometimes. 4. I bought NBA league pass and now the app won't sync to my subscription |
| 2024-10-29 |  | | Every single time you close the app and try to go back in you get a black screen. Sound but no picture. You then have to fully close the app and go back in. Then with recordings I've had multiple times where it won't let you fast forward it just starts at the beginning and you need to keep closing the app and restarting before it works properly. Amazing how much they have charged us more for a worse off product. |
