No good

Can’t wait even sign up in supported areas tried on multiple devices

Bye bye Midco. Hello Youtube TV!

Could not be happier with Youtube TV and so happy to be dropping Midco.

Good service, terrible app

I love the selection of channels and video quality, but the app (especially on the Apple TV) is nearly unusable. Has anyone over at Google actually used this app for more than 5 minutes on an Apple TV? I highly doubt it. Either that or some managerial type forced it to be released before it was done. It’s so bad it makes me wonder, “did they assign the creation of this app to an intern!?!” It frequently gets itself into a state where the directional controls completely stop working. Basic things like swiping using the Apple TV remote app frequently scrolls the wrong direction. Killing and restarting the app sometimes helps but not always. In general it’s frequently unresponsive for no apparent reason. This is the only app I use regularly on the Apple TV that has these kinds of issues. Please fix this or I’ll be canceling the service.

Needs work on roku

Nice features and works great on iOS but is pretty terrible on roku! Freezes and shuts down constantly and very laggy when navigating through

F-off cable companies !

They finally have an Apple TV app AND added key networks(tbs, cnn). 5 stars! Slick and fast interface- makes cable box interfaces look 20 Years old. Best DVR interface I’ve ever used. I used to have TiVo - $15 a month for just guide info, no streaming outside home(never worked consistently), slow hardware. No thanks. I tried DirectTV Now- slow, crash-y, crappy interface with similar channel lineup. No thanks. Try this. I hope cable companies burn in hell for their opaque pricing, price-gauging / expensive packages.

ADD MORE KIDS CHANNELS!!!!

You have CartoonNetwork, Disney, and Sprout. BUT WHERE IS NICKELODEON!!!!! Nickelodeon doesn’t have youtube tv yet so I NEED something to watch it on.

Bull crap

I cancelled before free trial ended and still charged me. Can’t find a number anywhere to call. Trap

Love it

I love the fact that it shows a guide just like cable and it’s easy to find the shows LIVE TV you want to watch. I wished the price was not as steep.

Best cord-cutting App

Would be better if it supported full screen zoom on iPhone X just like the regular YouTube app does

Chromecast

This app is in some serious need of attention in the chromecast department. For $35/month the connection issues with chromecast compared to any other app, including Google apps is horrendous...

A horrible struggle

I downloaded this app and signed up for my free trial because I wanted to record one olympic event that was going to occur while I was at work the next day. I could not find that event or anything else for the next day; so, I decided to cancel my subscription and not be charged money. I could not cancel in the app, in safari, or in my ipad settings. I had to use chrome to cancel even though I did not need chrome to sign up.

Finicky. Loses connection all the time.

Constantly have to restart the app because it loses the connection to my Chromecast. Always restarts shows from the beginning, no matter where I left off.

Better than Comcast

The Apple TV app is nice. Cloud DVR is an upgrade over Comcast. New networks make for a better lineup. I’ll give you 5 stars if you explain why my bill went from $35 to $40. I thought I was locked in at $35. Ready to upgrade my score...

Needs Work. Good, but messy

Video tracking is off at times.

One star for asking while streaming content

The app prompted me for a review in the middle of streaming. That’s the wrong time to get a review for your app.

The people have been heard

My only gripe had been the absence of TBS, TNT, etc. That complaint has been remedied. Excellent service for an excellent price.

Best streaming option

Have tried it all and of course Google does it best. Free Chromecast was a nice bonus... And the new channels being added.

Revolutionizing the way of watching TV

This app has gotten me back into watching TV. I was tired of having to set up cable every time I moved. Now, I just watch through my Chromecast, phone, iPad, or laptop wherever I am. The thing that I like the most if being able to pause the stream and/or go back minutes earlier if I missed something on TV. Would definitely recommend everyone to try this out!

In-App Purchase Defect

Your website states that people can sign up until 3/15 for $35/month. Your app doesn’t allow for this. It forces new sign-ups to pay $39.99/month. You need to fix this ASAP!!!

meh. youtube app is superior

the youtube tv app is inferior to the normal youtube app. The TV app uses different controls for fast forward/ rewind and that is annoying. often the audio and video content is out of sync. I have a very high bandwidth internet connection and a very modern high speed wifi router, but often the video is blotchy. when switching between shows, the app show title often does not update to the new show. the ending of a recorded network sitcom I watched was missing and the app just showed the beginning over again. so content quality issues are still apparent. same thing happened for a movie i watched with 9min to go. I had to restart the app and fast forward to get to the ending. they clearly have some bugs. seems like there is serious room for improvement.
