| 2024-11-23 |  | | I unfortunately have to file a complaint. Occasionally, when I'm selecting a different video to watch, the whole screen will go black. I'm still able to interact with the bottom buttons for subscriptions, recommended videos, and whatnot. The problem is not being able to see what I'm potentially clicking. If I don't close the tab, I could be hitting an ad or something I don't want to watch. Any idea why this is happening? |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | I dread an update because every update they break something that ruins the entire experience, from their new awful picture-in-picture mode (that worked perfectly before) that doesn't work now.. Or how they keep messing with things and breaking them, fixing them, and then breaking them again like insanity. When something works can we just leave it that way and not sit through the uncomfortable growing pains of you guys messing around with the most used app on the planet, please? :( |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | YOUTUBE!!! WHY DO YOU KEEP MAKING YOUR UI SO STUPID?!?! Nobody likes the miniscreen when they minimize to browze. And I absolutely HATE the swipe to next video feature. It would be tolerable if it at least started the video where I left off but it doesn't. It restarts. Not only that there's a bug where in, it restarts the video from the beginning of I accidentally swipe down from full screen. |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | This new update pretty much distoyed the app. The little box of the video rarely response to taping, I have had 2 times in a row where I'm playing a video and it stops mid way through like thier is a connection issue where it never resolves so I close out of the app and reopen it and it's absolutely Bugged. And if you click ok a reel then exit out of it befor it loads, Nothing loads ever after that, no videos no reel. I have to reset my phone to get it to work again. Please fix this! |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | Update (2): The new mini video player is awful, It has issues registering touch and often makes pausing videos difficult. Sometimes, you have to make the video into full screen to pause/play the video, and sometimes, it's the inverse where you have to use the mini player to pause the full screen video. Please revert the update, it is a mess. |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | This app has become almost unusable this past week, I have encountered issues with horrible bugs and dumb features. My main issue that made me make this review today is the fact that the normal videos are able to slide up and down through videos which is absolutely moronic and whoever thought of it should be ashamed of themselves. My long-form videos should not become Tik-Tok videos. If you so much as accidentally touch the screen and move your finger just a little up the video will change |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | NOW the back button takes you home AND doesnt close but PIPs the video you were watching. Ha, you screwed yourselves cuz now, instead of mindlessly watching the next video on line that was on the previous screen, I have to manually close the picture and picture video, and then, instead of navigating back to where I was somehow, I say screw it and just close the app. Thank you for changing your apps so I watch fewer videos lol. |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | They have appeared to fix the issues I was having with a more recent update. Back to working the way it should. Original: The recent update has made the app unusable. If you pause a video it won't start playing again. You have to exit the video. When you go back into the video and try to fast forward using the slider to where you were, it freezes and won't play. |
| 2024-11-21 |  | | I just tested and can confirm everytime I use the premium function to add videos to a queue on mobile and close the window while listening to my music. It'll cause the app to crash everytime. This still hasnt been fixed. Also new issue with the app randomly closing while i have it running in the background with phone turned off? |
| 2024-11-21 |  | | The lastest update gave the app the ability to scroll between videos, this is very inconvenient since with whatever movement on the screen will make any video scroll even if your in the middle of watching it,you try to go back but it keeps scrolling. Please stop it, I want to be able to watch a full video without it scrolling or having to use my laptop. |
