Dailymotion Video App User Reviews

Top reviews

Daily Motion

The Daily Motion application is a fine conduit to many of the type of videos internet users would have a interest in whether it be films, music, viral videos, sports or any other type of entertainment. Navigation around the app is easy with the categories listen on the h9me page and one is looking for something specific a keyword search is available. One issue for me is that waiting after selecting a video for playback or more information can be a bit long. Daily Motion is still well worth a download as an alternative or even main source to other video applications.

Love the new update

The new UI is 100x better. It’s similar to that of YouTube’s (sorry for the comparison) and even easier to use. Plus, it looks a lot sleeker than it did. If the person(s) who designed it reads this, know you did a good job and made it a lot less clunky. It’s still a little rusty in places, but it’s a lot better than it was a few months back.

Great App Currently Unusable On Apple TV

I love Dailymotion, but I have noticed unlike the iOS app that appears to have no issues, when I pull the app up on my Apple TV 4K, all that appears is a blank white screen. After several uninstall/reinstall cycles and reboots of the device, it still does not go beyond the white screen. Please fix this issue on an otherwise solid app/service. Thanks for your time.

Can’t watch in a floating window any more

I think I liked the previous version better. This version won’t let me watch in a window while I do other things. That feature wasn’t perfect in the previous version, if you tried to go back to full screen, the video would disappear and you’d have to close and restart the app, but at least it was there, And since I rarely watch stuff without also doing other things in my tablet, not having that feature makes your app much less useful. I realize I should not complain because it’s free, but please add it back, even in the faulty version if you have to.

Not very stable.

Struggles to load videos just like the website. Also playlist navigation is pretty much zero, if there is a playlist with 100 options then you have to scroll the entire way to the bottom every time you want to watch the next video. Would love to rate higher but just can’t justify the frustrating user experience.

Underrated app for video surfing

Sometimes you want to watch videos but don’t know exactly what you want to watch. Dailymotion is great for that. While it used to be known more as a ugc platform, it’s now got videos from a wide variety of well known publishers. My favorites are cbs news, sports illustrated, rolling stone, and cheddar. Within the app i also follow a bunch of topics that i’m interested in, and i can browse the new videos from my channels & topics whenever i want. If you’re short on data like i am, you can also download videos to watch offline later. Final praise: the app UI is gorgeous and easy to use, the ads are unobtrusive and usually skippable, and it’s all free.

Great app

I really love this app to watch all my favorite episodes of shows that barely airs anymore but i think the app needs a few updates, for starters i think if you watch a video and then close the app the video should be able to save your progress in the video, and maybe make it where are home page shows stuff we will be interested for the people who use this app to watch cartoons it would really help for that to be a feature, then maybe we will be able to delete a video from are playlist without having to delete the whole playlist and be able to reorganize it if you put something out of order. I hope you think about these features in the future updates

Unable to connect

Hi
I have just started using this app for the first time and unimpressed as since the last week when I figured out how to sign into daily motion app on my smart tv, the app on both my phone and my tv do not work. I have to watch everything through safari on my phone. Disappointing because one I figured out how to use the app I was super excited to finally find something with some great content to watch. Unhappy.

Hello, we're sorry for the issues that you have encountered with our app. A new version of the app (6.2.5) is currently rolling out to the store. Updating to this version should resolve the issues that you have been facing. This update concerns iPhone / iPad only (not Apple TV)

Edit watch later/ playlist

Pretty solid app but can we get the option to edit/reorder our watch later playlist? The order in which we watch things are backwards and it’s quite annoying having to manually scroll through the playlist to watch videos since they don’t play in the order in which we assigned it.

Infuriating usability

This app is shamelessly neglectful of its users.

1. Google produces better search results than are possible within this app. The search option within the app only shows a fraction of the search resultsso really can’t be trusted.
2. Videos automatically play after watching one video and there’s no way of switching this off. One way round this is to create a playlist containing the video you want to watch & play it from there. Utterly infuriating though.
3. Videos showing a range of available qualities but dailymotion will not allow user to select the higher quality. It seems to decide what’s best even if you haven’t asked it to ‘autoselect’
4. Watch history is inaccurate — stops updating after a while with out warning. I’ve wondered if it has a limit on how much it can hold but the app fails to inform the user of this. Also annoying that there’s no option to view these by date.

Altogether a very unsatisfactory app.
