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

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.
