I hope it improves. ### 2/5 — Clunky and Outdated *2026-09-08, version 2.25.0* It’s inconceivable that an audio app in 2026 doesn’t stop playing when you remove your AirPods. Yet, time and time again, removing AirPods will result in the audio playing through the iPhone’s speakers. This speaks nothing of the terrible UI/UX, and ads that peddle endless snake oil scams. It’s as though you stumbled upon the worst of the worst in technology and content. ### 3/5 — Good but needs improvement *2026-09-07, version 2.25.0* For the most part it’s good. A few problems, like when being notified someone responded to my comment I have to hunt around to find it instead of just clicking on the notification and being sent to it. ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2026-09-06, version 2.25.0* I might be the only person who actually watches rumble on my television, but the app needs a lot of improvement. It tends to freeze a lot on my Samsung TV. Also no voice typing so I have to manually type out on the remote. I’d prefer to never use YouTube again, but its convenience is currently superior to Rumble. The major glitch I’ve noticed on the TVs is that randomly the arrow button stops working so I can’t select anything. This is true on Samsung ### 2/5 — Great app *2026-09-06, version 2.25.0* Glad there’s app that can compete with YouTube but also supports free speech! Only thing I would like to is closed caption ### 3/5 — Love/hate *2026-09-04, version 2.24.1* I love the creators on this platform, but Rumble needs to fix this connection issue on their end. Streams will drop randomly all of the time ### 3/5 — Comments *2026-09-03, version 2.24.1* Rumble you need to fix your comments notifications. You have to scroll to try to find your comment on a video to read a reply. ### 3/5 — Needs more work *2026-09-02, version 2.24.1* I feel so limited in the options given to creators please let me delete and edit etc with in this app, Add multi accounts or a way to log out easily. Can I work for you to help redesign the UI and functionality tools. ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2026-09-01, version 2.24.1* Rumble is definitely not perfect, it has a lot of work to do if it wants to actually complete with YouTube. However, if they do fix some bugs and jankiness I’ll fully switch over. YouTube has gotten so egregious with their ads that I don’t want to give them another cent in revenue. ### 3/5 — Last update broke Chromecast functionality *2026-09-01, version 2.24.1* Last update broke Chromecast functionality ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-09-01, version 2.24.1* Not working chrome cast functional ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great content. Terrible app. *2026-09-08, version 2.25.0* I love Ruble and what it stands for. Free speech is back. YouTube is dead, Rumble did it. But this app is terrible. Doesn’t remember where you left off. No “recently watched.” Trying to watch content off WiFi is impossible. Nothing makes me more angry than my content not loading when I’m in the car. Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcast, no issues. Rumble, refuses to load. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app. Started my phone over 1,000 times. Nothing helps. ### 1/5 — Not upto date *2026-09-08, version 2.25.0* Can’t find the newest shows when We go to page! Bad! ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-09-08, version 2.25.0* Crashes 5 plus times a day for 4 years while pushing new products. Maybe get the videos to play before introducing a virtual wallet? ### 1/5 — Rumble is getting more lame by the day *2026-09-08, version 2.25.0* This used to be a great platform for free speech but no more,thousands of channels desperately trying for clicks with outrageous titles that do not deliver,it used to be better than YT but no more,my own channel is been shadow banned for nothing,it is still censored even when you have said nothing offensive,it fakes algorithms,likes , views ,followers,up or down according to its leanings ,I does this to also not pay out on views.i made 75 videos and made 1 dollar ### 1/5 — Disastrous Site *2026-09-07, version 2.25.0* I used to LOVE listening to Russell Brand until Rumble got ahold of him. His was, historically, thoughtful, long form content, and all Rumble does is cut and clip, looking g for clicks. As much as I love Russell, I just don’t bother because of Rumble’s “hassle factor.” ### 1/5 — More commercials than YT *2026-09-06, version 2.25.0* Twice the commercials and 1/4 the content. You became what you stood against. ### 1/5 — Verification debacle *2026-09-06, version 2.25.0* Every time I try to respond to a post it get the message that my account has not been verified. I have verified my account so many times I’m about to let Rumble win through attrition and delete my account. It’s at the point of being completely ridiculous and not worth my time. ### 1/5 — Nothing but commercials *2026-09-05, version 2.25.0* Commercials inside of commercials. Commercials from this app and commercials in the content itself. ### 1/5 — “registration is not available at this time” *2026-09-03, version 2.24.1* Useless App ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-09-02, version 2.24.1* I would rather listen to podcasts on the other communists platforms, as they actually work. The right will apparently never have a functioning streaming app. I tired of constantly having to force close the app to get stuff to load, rumble premium benefits not working, it’s garbage, everyone go back to YouTube or Spotify. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — First amendment rights *2026-09-07, version 2.25.0* If you don’t know what you are missing out on. You are not in the best Country. 🇺🇸✝️ ### 5/5 — Witty *2026-09-07, version 2.25.0* Never have I come across content as sharp, witty, and informative as that which rests in Rumble. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Rumble 1 *2026-09-06, version 2.25.0* Tired of all the woke nonsense and censorship? Go to Rumble and see all the best All American content like Bongino Bennie and Gardner — to mention a few. I have the annual membership and it’s ad free. ### 5/5 — Split app *2026-09-03, version 2.24.1* Nice job on this ### 5/5 — YouTube SmuTube *2026-09-03, version 2.24.1* I can't even stand watching YouTube anymore! The ad breaks have gotten maddening, the shorts being pushed, everything they're doing is such a waste of my time! I really hope everybody who uploads there starts uploading here, it's so so so so much easier of an experience!! ### 5/5 — Thanks *2026-09-03, version 2.24.1* Excellent ### 5/5 — Salty cracker & Shawn Farrish $ Derek Hunter $ Dan Bongino *2026-09-02, version 2.24.1* Thank you Chris Pavlowski rumble chief & hum baby gop2026 election ### 5/5 — LFA Live from AMERICA with Jeremy Harrell *2026-09-01, version 2.24.1* Also check out X22 report if you want to stay at the tip of the spear and not get blindfolded and brainwashed and censored from applications like YouTube big tech fake news all the puppeteers rebuked! ### 5/5 — I love rumble *2026-09-01, version 2.24.1* I love rumble because they really mean free speech because they don’t snap at anyone ### 5/5 — The Best Platform *2026-08-30, version 2.24.0* Rumble is the de facto best platform on social media. Best how? Best for free speech. Best for the truth. Best for the unhampered exchange of ideas. The only category it isn't "best" in, are the number of users. There are millions of people who do not want free speech, and they'll continue to haunt the other platforms, enjoying the imbalance that silences good, patriotic Americans, while allowing them to celebrate our death, and destruction.
