New Ad Embedding Destroys Functionality

It’s impossible now to watch anything on this app or their regular site. Every forced ad break boots you over to the next video rather than returning you to the one you were watching. In trying to watch a 20 minute video, you’ll be subjected to an ad every 3 minutes and since you’re not returned to the video, in progress, you then have to quit and restart the video, watch another ad, immediately skip to just after where the last ad break fell, if you can, and watch another 3 minute segment before the entire atrocity repeats. This is terrible design. There’s no way to actually watch content on this site anymore unless all you want to see is the exact same ad, every 3 minutes. Ridiculous.

It used to be a good app

It’s really really annoying now. I unfollow channels and then after 2-4 hours, those channels are back in my list of channels i have subscribed to. I have signed out, changed passwords after unfollowing channels but nope! They still keep coming back. Also it says I am following 50 channels but when i look at the list, it’s only 15 channels. It’s just really frustrating. I unfollow channels because sometimes they start airing junk content and I don’t like junk on my feed. I have tried everything i can to see how this will work but so far nothing works!

Left this review up and the developer asked me to email them. I did. Sent them screenshots, details, names of photos and now it’s been more than a month and radio silence from their end. The issue is still there. I keep unfollowing channels and they keep coming back. I have tried deleting the app, clearing the cache, changing the password everything. Nope. The unfollowed channels are back again within minutes now. I don’t understand why is there not an option to block a channel? What’s the issue?

Laggy and hard to operate

It has a lot of shows for free like avatar the last air bender and legend of kora but it is pretty hard to operate like the blue bar at the bottom of video so you slide it to get to the part of the video you want. I really want that bar to be updated so you can easily move it because it opens the history of apps I have opened. And there should be a history of videos where you exit the app or video and it will save where you left off in the video

It's meh

Without the history function made impossible by having to create an account, and the ever failing issue of random recommended videos, the ill setting of auto playing the next video... It's good for searching and watching one video at a time but never a reliable player app.

Hi, Thanks for your feedback and we're sorry you didn't enjoy these features. We'd love to hear more from you as to how we can improve the app. Feel free to reach out via in-app feedback form that you can find in the settings.

Finally found my show!

I was going crazy looking for a particular show, couldn’t even find it on Firestick. I finally found some episodes on Dailymotion! The only complaint I have is that it will not cast to my TV. Plays on my phone and tablet just fine but no casting. I tried everything with no success. I have internet on my smart tv so I played it by logging into Dailymotion website on my TV and that works decent. Hopefully this problem will be fixed at some point. Looks like from the reviews this has been an issue for a LONG time. I’m just happy I am able to watch this show at all. Thanks Dailymotion!!!

So i remember reviewing on this before and now it’s happening AGAIN. Every time an add plays and then ends the whole episode starts again. Then when i skip it to the place i was at before it plays another add. I even tried skipping it to a different place and it still plays an add. Pls fix it

So grateful for this app!

With this app I have so many shows right at my fingertips. QI alone keeps me laughing like a lunatic. When things get stressful or I just need a break from life in general, bills, the coronavirus and on and on and on, daily motion is there. It doesn’t freeze or have a hard time with the quality - it just works. Some of our cable networks need to ask daily motion how to make an app that people will love (cough, clear my throat - direct tv). Don’t change anything Daily Motion!

Casting issues

Simple things need to be fixed. First there needs to be a dark mode. There’s no excuse for it not being in every app now. Also there’s issues when casting. For some reason videos will pause on the device you are casting too IF you minimize the app. This happens when using my iPhone or iPad to cast. Minimize the app and the video stops. That needs fixing what’s the point of casting when I can’t leave the app???? Also... at least I can get a video playing casting to chrome cast but trying to cast via AirPlay all I get is a spinning wheel.
