YouTube TV App Reviews

Not ready for prime time buffooons. Spontaneously terminated my subscription for no reason. Took two days to fix it. Great product but idiots running the joint.

I love that this app has everything I need I don’t want to purchase a cable subscription so this is an excellent alternative. I have all of my favorite shows like ESPN and I don’t have a huge contract.

In general it is OK, except when casting to a tv using an iPhone or iPad... that goes into sleep mode… Then when you open the app back up there is no interface. For example, when you hit pause or fast-forward there is nothing…. You are forced to close the casting and reopen it for the program to work again from the iOS device. Very annoying!

Recording works great, love the live view of channels as you skim through. Would like a better view for seeing upcoming hours of programming. Loses connection with Chromecast a lot

When streaming to Apple TV sometimes the snow will restart after commercials and then you have to watch the commercials again just to get to where you were. Any time I open or just go to the app I get the pop up to turn on notifications which I have already enabled. Right now it’s good but it is still easier to torrent movies and tv shows than to watch them on this app.

The app works fine as long as you only watch one channel. Once you let the app sit on one station for a few minutes, you can no longer change channels without restarting the app. I’m sure they’ve seen how a Roku and Firestick work flawlessly...so why can’t they just make a real remote that works every time you press a button?

It asks, no joke, every 5 minutes if I want to enable notifications. Clicking on "not now" brings the same request 5 minutes later.

Very expensive comparing to others...

What an awesome invention! I thoroughly enjoy and it’s so easy and helpful to use. All my shoes are ready to view at my convenience!

I don’t like getting notifications from most apps. YouTube TV is an app from which I don’t ever want to receive a notification. I selected the option to deny the app the right to notify me, and it started spamming me with requests to change my settings. It sends a new request every 3-5 minutes, which is SUPER IRRITATING! I unsubscribed from the service based on the irritation factor alone.

Overall it’s great for using the service.

After using this app for 3 months, I dont recommend it if you want to stream recorded shows on Apple TV. It stops playing after commercials, and so stops when youre iPhone shuts down its display when its idle. If you plan on multitasking with your iPhone while watching live TV. Forget it! This app had way too many flaws to have this over inflated rating. Must be fake reviews.

Needs more channels

Great app but it lacks a lot of family channels like Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, nick jr, sprout, etc. Channels that my kids love. When will more channels be added?

This is my first run at streaming services. The channel lineup is perfect for me. ESPN and the local channels. Good selection of movies and works perfect with Chromecast. So far so good.

I would have rated it 5 stars if they didn’t have commercials and had FN and HGTV channels. Overall works great but having to watch commercials is horrible and when you can fast forward them it’s not easy to do!!!! Please make it easy to fast forward through them if you have to air them !!!

Stop interrupting my shows to ask me if I want to turn notifications on. I dont, and Ive told you so 4 times in the last half hour.

Phone loses connection to chrome cast all the time. Restarting the cast takes you to live rather than where you left off, so useless for DVRing sports. The high speed scrubber is too coarse for any program longer than 10 or 15 minutes. I really want this to be good, but it’s a frustrating user experience. Video quality is excellent.

I have to delete the app and reinstall it in order to cast it from my phone to my tv. The moment I exit the app the cast button is gone! Y?? Please help me

Who better to handle oTT content than YouTube. It’s about time someone does this right. Wishing you success.
