Sometimes it just won’t work at all for this reason I will continue to use other apps but once this gets fixed I will happily use this app ### 1/5 — Needs some work, but better than YouTube *2025-11-23, version 1.9.10* This is a great app. It blocks ads and adds more features that the YouTube player doesn’t have. It also allows you to remove shorts which is a feature that I’ve long wanted. However there are some issues that needs fixing for this app to be better. Sometimes the app will refuse to play videos completely for a period of time, saying “could not play this stream, click to retry.” Which is extremely annoying and prevents video playback completely, this is the worst bug and should be fixed ASAP. There is also no stream chat when watching livestreams, and the live indicator is present for both scheduled streams and already live streams so you can’t tell the difference. The player is also a little clunky and it’s easy to misclick buttons. Other than those bugs, it’s still better than YouTube and a great app. EDIT: This app is ridiculously bad now, sounds don’t load and PIP doesn’t work. Super buggy and crashes. What a shame. ### 4/5 — Rlly good except for audio *2025-11-22* This app is really cool and amazing except that some videos won’t play sound at all and the shorts are super laggy going frame by frame. Please fix the sound problem because most videos will say, failed to load sound multiple times. ### 1/5 — Best but now lot of problems *2025-11-03, version 1.9.9* It is good app without advertising but this app have problem when you watching video it show (failed to load audio multiple times,please try changing the audio.) and after this that video will never load you can’t watch that video again ever. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM IT’S A REQUEST ### 3/5 — Loading *2025-10-29, version 1.9.9* Sounds do not load and pip doesn’t work ### 3/5 — Frustrating Bug *2025-10-13, version 1.9.8* Best video player I've tried so far! But recently there's been a frustrating bug where the audio stops working unless the video is in background mode, please fix this… ### 2/5 — i cant open popup *2025-10-13, version 1.9.8* for some reason whenever i try and open popup on any video it always fails, it doesnt matter if i try closing the app or reopening it, i can never open popup for some reason ### 4/5 — La app necesita ser mas optimizado *2025-10-04, version 1.9.7* La app funciona 8.5/10 hay mejores. aveces suele fallar cuando sales a elegir un nuevo video sale un sitio wed abajo del video que estás viendo eso es extraño por eso ### 5/5 — The best *2025-10-03, version 1.9.7* I really like it no ads at all ### 5/5 — Good❤️❤️❤️ *2025-10-03, version 1.9.7* Good❤️❤️❤️ ## Frequently asked questions about TubeMax ### What does TubeMax do?
