1. 2/5Two fatal flaws

   I mostly love this app, but there are two major problems with it. 1) when skipping around in a recorded program to avoid commercials, once the video starts playing, it frequently has portions of audio that do not play. I will hear 2–3 seconds of audio, and then 1-2 seconds of silence. This bug repeats itself until I force close the app and start over. This happens dozens of times per day and is entirely unacceptable. 2) sometimes I really have to search to find a recently recorded program. On occasion, I will have to use the Search feature within the app just to find something that was recorded an hour ago. The recently recorded section needs to be chronological and it is not. 3) I don’t consider this a fatal flaw, just an annoyance. When, watching on my television, I can scroll on the guide to find programs that will air in the future. On the app, I only have access to programs that are live right now. That’s kind of ridiculous.

2. 1/5Worst Experience of my Entire Digital Life!

   My experience with YoutubeTv was absolutely terrible. As an educator, I work hard to make ends meet and their service is by far the most expensive out there. I accidentally signed up with two email accounts due to an error in the app, but the system failed to detect that my credit card was being charged twice. After 9 months of paying over $150 a month, I was humiliated to discover this mistake. Trying to cancel the account was a complete nightmare and getting someone to speak with was even worse. It felt like they intentionally hid the cancellation process and the representatives I spoke with had poor English speaking skills. I strongly advise against using YoutubeTv and suggest finding a more affordable and reliable option. To add insult to injury, YoutubeTv was unable to track down the email address that my bank was being charged to. After speaking with approximately 10-20 different representatives, they still came to no resolution and asked me the same questions repeatedly. As of today, I have yet to receive a refund and PayPal is investigating the matter and possibly taking action against them. It's evident that the owners and developers of this service are only interested in your money, which is an absolute robbery for their subpar service. I am appalled by their lack of decency and respect for their customers. I will make sure to spread the word about this terrible company and their. Trust me, Im not the only one who knows and is talking about this company’s unprofessional and unethical practices. Shame.

3. 1/5Save your money

   So if you came to this app for football as I did, under the guise that you would fully get access to that; let me go ahead and rip the bandaid off for you. You have to get at least the base plan for youtubetv, that’s fine they are fair with the free trial. During my free trial, it quickly became apparent that very few games are actually played through youtubetv, as in just enough to get your interest. Then you are instructed to get Sunday Ticket if you want to watch anymore going forward, which of course is more expensive than the base plan you also must have. At this point, you’re paying more than you ever would’ve for just cable to watch your games and tv lol. I mean, do they have preschoolers come up with their business strategies? All this has done is kill the NFLs credibility and shown very anti-consumer behavior simply for the sake of greed. Now, when the day inevitably comes where the NFL realizes how silly this is and that they should have their own service with a singular payment rather than these hoops, Im not going to be inclined to get it at that point. I’d rather support a local bar and give them my money. So in summary, the NFL wants me to pay ~$150 to watch 3-4 Lions games a month…….not total…….every month. This is nothing short of laughable and absurd. Youtubetv gets a 1-star from me for the shady business practice of not making this readily apparent ahead of time and furthermore, making it seem as though it was all inclusive. However, they do have a very fair free trial, so I do more so blame the NFL for not having the foresight to think “Duh geez….you think we should have our own service……”? Nothing short of absolutely moronic here, and clearly for the sake of blatant greed. Shameful.

4. 1/5Failure to sign-up cause

   I followed an online post that offered a 46% savings on signing up. I was sent to the Apple APP store because I have an iPhone. I reviewed every word of the APP listing and followed the instructions. I watched the 20 minute free offer and decided to sign up. I clicked on signup and was presented with a warning I was not able to use Apple program and payment system and would have to accept Google. That was unacceptable for me for several reasons. Yesterday I was confronted with something called Google Universal Management. It basically said that if I accepted whatever I was trying to do Google would take over management of all my apps and data on my IPhone. It would have the authorization to access all data on my phone and use as it wanted to. That will never happen as I will stop using my iPhone and destroy it before I will give any program access to all my data on my iPhone. The second issue was I was not going to be able to use Apple Pay system or its secure benefits. I would have to accept Google or some other payment and management services. That is not acceptable. Third after reading and following all of this no place did it say how much the normal monthly charge was or how much and for how long my 46% discount was going to be applied. So either this is a really stupid scam or you think I am that stupid. Good luck

5. 3/5This is a horrible deal for sports fans

   95% of the $84 a month is an absolute waste. Only subscribe for the few sports that I watch. Really only worth it during the College Football season, I canceled immediately after the cfb championship. I watch other sports like NBA & Premier League but it’s only a few games a week compared to the bulk of those games being on other services for MUCH cheaper. Why continue paying $84 when I can get about 90% of NBA games on League pass on Prime for $160 FOR THE WHOLE SEASON and Peacock comes free with my Xfinity internet. On the bulk of premier league games are on Peacock also. Flushing money down the toilet even during CFB season because I don’t watch nor care about: the news, talk shows, food shows, politics, other sports like NFL, and whatever nonsense is on live tv. I just want to pay for ONLY WHAT I WATCH. Something like the league pass but only for your live broadcast games, keep the talk shows I don’t want that, that’s like $30 for the whole season for the nba and $15 for the premier league games, I’m fine with cfb being like $100-$150. But again, JUST THE GAMES, not the sport adjacent stuff
