User reviews

I like what they are trying to do with the app but the app it self doesn't perform well. it is glitchy and unreliable. there are a lot of "quality of life" features missing, especially when compared to a polished app like YouTube. again, I am a huge fan of what they are trying to do, supporting the first amendment, it's just the app itself that isn't great

For the most part the android app seems to work ok. However, every update seems to break some feature and I'm not the one who thinks this. You'd think there's hundreds of developers who subscribe to someone on locals who'd sign up as devops beta testers and find these problems before the release push. The biggest missing feature is, what 2 or 3 years in, there's still no user to user messaging.

Forced upgrade broke the app. Every time I launch a video the app crashes, and logging in using Rumble simply doesn't work (404 error). I've already cleared app data and cache, and reinstalled the app. Fix it, and I'll update my review. Edit: The latest version (2.1.5) is the one causing the issue, 2.1.4 doesn't have the crashing issue. I went ahead an downgraded for now.
