I really dislike commercials and wish there was a way to get service without them. But what really causes the rating is when I turned on a Disney show for my kids and the commercials are for horror movies and other adult themed shows/products.
YouTube TV App Reviews
Not worth the price
Maybe if there were more channels it would be worth $40. But definitely not keeping this past trial.
Doesn’t work with Fire TV
Like the local channels. No HGTV and DIY is disappointing for the price but the lack of Fire Tv due to cuesd with Amazon makes it a no go
Needs improvement!!!
I have a very high speed internet but I am having a headache while watching basketball. The Motion blur makes me so dizzy!!!
Almost perfect
If they can work out some of the bugs with the DVR playback, I will give it 5 stars. Sometimes, the playback controls cause the DVR to skip to live TV instead of fast forwarding within the recorded show. After trying Sony Vue, Sling TV and over the air antennaes this is by far the best solution for cord cutting. Along with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video I finally have a solid cable TV replacement.
Typical
It works decently, but about the same as others in this arena. If YouTube wants to stand out above the rest, they should start with the basic local channels, which they have (CBS, FOX, NBS, ABC, CW), but allow customers to chose up to a certain amount of other cable channels for $39.99. If they give us the options, then YouTube could eliminate channels that no one uses, saving themselves money, and us. That was the big complaint about big cable companies that everyone jokes about, "hundreds of channels and only watched a few". Also, I would love to have all the movies I own on Google Play be available to watch through YouTube tv, like linking google play to it.
About a month in and all is good
So far it’s great I do however lag a lot but that’s because I only have the first generation chromecast. The service for 35 bucks a month makes me not even miss my cable service.
So slow it’s sickening
This connects so slow it drives me crazy sometimes. I know it’s not my internet because I have another live tv app and that connects fine. Still trying to choose which one I’m going to keep. I would like to keep YouTube app because it offers more but need to decide if the connection issues are worth it. Have to give a lower rating because of connection problems thought because it was new maybe it would change over time but not happening yet!

The Great Liberation
YouTube TV is a great advance. Able to watch multiple great programs and obtain information at times and places previously impossible.
DONT USE
When I was trying to sign up it said It was not available then the help article said once you signed up it will be available in the us
Great service - AppleTV app buggy, tho
I recommend purchasing the service thru Google, as opposed to iTunes, because it is slightly cheaper. App/service runs great on my iOS devices & Roku. However, the AppleTV app is another matter. Upon installing the app on AppleTV everything works fine. After you exit the app & come back later to watch, the app is totally unresponsive. The only solution is to delete the app & reinstall, which is a real nuisance. Casting from iOS device to television works fine, unless I need to use the phone. Fix the AppleTV app & I would give more stars, but YoubeTV still beats cable/satellite services, imo.
A few improvements needed
Love the app. The appletv app could use better controls (like a skip forward or back 30sec button). 2 weeks in, I have had NO crashes or bugs so far.
Review
Great way to keep up with sports. Glad they just added tnt and tbs now i wont miss an nba playoff game or a baseball playoff game, but when are they going add comedy central, NBCSN NFL Network and FOX 8 wasnt able to watch half of the nfl playoffs
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. 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. i keep losing the airplay connection to my apple tv as well. seems like there is serious room for improvement.
Love this service
Best streaming service by far!!!!
Way better compared to DTVNow
Was using direct tv now, easy decision to cancel that after using this. The interface is great, and I love the unlimited DVR. I do wish it had HDTV, but that’s the only channel I feel like it’s missing. Also with DVR it would be great if there was a way to automatically skip commercials with the use of a button.
Love it
So much better than Cablevision. Impressive picture quality and love how well it works cross device. Family sharing works well (but wish were easier to switch viewers within the app so my kids shows can be segregated from mine)
It works great
I’ve been waiting for TCM (Turner Classic Movies) on my iPad and it’s finally available on this app along with the other channels that I just wasn’t willing to overpay for dozens of junk channels to access on cable tv. Youtube TV is the real goods!
YTTV Thankyou
Best way to keep on track of my current events
