4/5Starting a movement
I have a special place in my heart for TYT. I was never into politics before watching them and once I found them I watched them every day. Most TV news outlets are biased in some form or other but will swear they are objective. I actually really appreciate that TYT admits their progressive biased and that they truly believe that progressive values are the best solution for everyone. They got me excited about news and world events like I never thought I could be because they actually are passionate and put heart into what they do. Would always recommend them as the best progressive news source. My only criticism: after watching since 2016 I’ve noticed they’ll make fun of Christianity or belittle it every so often. It already feels a little isolating to be a Christian progressive, but I really do think you can have strong progressive values while subscribing to any religion. I don’t think you need to be an atheist to be a progressive. With that in mind I just wish TYT was at least a little more religiously neutral/welcoming so they don’t alienate certain viewers that are strong progressives of different faiths. Other than that, my favorite shows to watch are the main TYT show and the damage report, and my favorite hosts are John, Emma and Cenk because I like their cool snarky personalities and Cenk’s relative objectiveness when looking at the other side.

5/57 decades-old Anti-nuke protester asks;
Please don't listen to Shellenberger or Oliver Stone or any engineer-type who curiously do not obey or ignore the universal, foundational laws of thermodynamics...exposed vets wwII and beyond...Micronesians,New Mexicans and Australian aborigines and the "dome"on Guam& Fukushima waste releases in the Pacific & endless accidents and countless near-accidents on-site & during transportation of materials and nuclear misses,in US & globally. & uranium extraction,mining,processing,storing for thousands of years...and the unsustainable costs to build & maintain...otherwise, ya'll are spot on politics...just brush up on cracker plants that commodify frack-waste & use it for single use plastic made for convenience only. Lots of biodegradable products that dissolve are already in use(although,compostable dinner & flatware are NOT yard compostable,, need hi-temp incineration if BP I certified)

2/5PLEASE REVERT TO PREVIOUS VERSION
This is the only app review I’ve ever written, which should tell you how big of a deal this is for me! TYT, I don’t just love you I DEPEND on you to keep me sane. Your old app was like an old friend. It didn’t have a bunch of fluff or showy features, but it had what I needed and I knew it like the back of my hand. And that was especially helpful because I often need to listen late at night when I’m plagued with insomnia but don’t want to do anything to wake my husband up. But for some insane reason everything simple, useful, and reliable about that old version was discarded when you revamped the app. Suddenly everything’s confusing or I have to jump thru hoops to get it to work. Continuous play is gone, so I have to turn the screen back on to select each little segment I want to watch. The rewind & ff feature is now useless on the app screen, unless you unless you don’t mind losing several minutes of content or having to watch big chunks over again. That parts especially problematic since it means I can no longer skip the SUPER loud entry music (when trying not to wake my husband) without also skipping content. And it now stops playing when I close the screen UNLESS I reopen the screen and close it again (sometimes more than once). That might not seem so bad, since I figured out that trick to make it work. But I have to DO that nifty trick for EVERY segment since the continuous play is gone! I’m about ready to give up on what used to be my all-time favorite app! And from what I’m seeing, everyone else is feeling the same way. Wouldn’t it be easier to just go back to the simple, usable app and let us enjoy the content without having to tear our hair out in frustration?!

2/5Great content 👍, broken app 👎
I love the TYT content and have been a member for years. I pretty much only watch the main show and the app has been decent for watching the show but this latest update makes it difficult to use. The video position tracking no longer works so if I’m watching a video and at 11 minutes 23 seconds need to minimize the app to reply to an email then when I return the video starts over again!? Even if I pause the video first when I return it again starts over again. It used to remember the last position of every video and return me to where I left off. Second, will someone please fix the sign-in screen to allow us to use Apples built in password access to things like keychain stored credentials or LastPass or any password manager? I shouldn’t have to go look up my login info and manually type it in when I need to login again after every single app update. Speaking of which it’d be great to not need to login again after every app update. If you can’t save the credentials between updates then the ability to use saved passwords is even more important. It’s irritating to need to look up and manually enter my account credentials after every TYT app update.

2/5Almost Great, but Mostly Useless for Members
If you plan on using this app to always watch the main shows live, or go through their video archives — then you will love it. However, if you are a member and mainly watch the day’s main two hour shows, then it will be utterly useless and aggravating — unless you really enjoy watching yesterday’s news. The main shows are rarely ever updated anything under 4-5 hours after they ended, and can frequently take over a dozen Should you live on the East Coast, then that will most likely be too late for you, and thus you will still use the website regularly and probably delete this app for space. For some odd reason, the website gets updated in a timely fashion, just never this app. Also, you cannot rewind live shows like you can on the members’ only live stream. As such, if you do have the luxury of watching it live — unlike me, on most days — then the website remains the better option and does not take-up space. Once/If TYT rectifies this, I will change my score accordingly.
