Can't watch videos

I am not able to see any videos. It lets me search only in my library, which is empty.

Lack of information

Rented a video, cannot for the life of me figure out for how long. Who tf really knows.

This is the worst app

The videos are extremely limited and are often not very interesting. What I want is to watch videos about birds, not mediocre artists.

A joke

The AppleTV app is awful…you can’t even click on the video creator’s profile to go to their channel/page. What is the point?

Stole my money

Cancelled with Vimeo and they charged me nearly $400 after my cancellation

Pornography

Open the app and get sent straight to a gay pornographer video can’t remove it. Can’t report this app is really bad…

WHERE is the SEARCH Online?

Go to vimeo.com on a mobile device. The page is a manic fray of little video clips, interesting snippets, amazing “content”. But WHERE WHERE WHERE is the search box to allow me to look for content that I want?! As a Vimeo content creator, I’m MOST displeased. If you want to challenge YouTube, then at least get the basics right :(

Good platform, buggy app

Used to work fine, now crashes regularly while videos are playing. especially when using airplay/casting to another device to watch on larger screens

Just doesn’t work

Vimeo is an extremely expensive hosting site that can’t do the basics. They’re constantly changing the interface to no benefit which causes confusion and bugs. Every time I send a Vimeo link, I hear that it’s not viewable or invalid. Complete failure and waste of money.

Péssimo no computador

No computador é um péssimo aplicativo, todo dia tem que logar de novo, vc tenta abrir e a página trava, as vitrines é péssima tb, bem
mais fácil usar YouTube com playlists ou frameio para organizar os projetos. Tudo no Vimeo é lento! Precisam aprimorar muito pq o uso dele é somente profissional e mesmo assim dá sempre uma preguiça acessar pq vai dar algum erro, lentidão, e vc não quer entrar….

Lost the plot

Why do you need my ID to watch a video? Can’t be arsed. Sorry.

Bizarre and confusing

As someone who works as a cinematographer and wanted to sit down and look at other creators to get inspired… I couldn’t work out how to watch content on the app. I’m not an untechnical person and I’m not that old. This is very very odd. I only have access to my own videos? Even if that’s intentional, why would that be the case? Completely bizarre and confusing. What even is Vimeo? And why can’t I watch videos on it?

Can’t verify age…

It's impossible to verify your age. The verification system is so stupid. I hate it, I'm 26. I've tried so many times, but it still doesn't work. I urgently needed to upload a video for a project. I won't choose your app.

Disappointing

So, this app does nothing

Currently unusable

Every time I try to search for a topic, I get, "! Failed to load. Retry". It doesn't matter what the topic is - Tourism, Europe, travel etc.

Tried closing the App and reopening, deleting the App and reloading and even rebooting the device.

I'm deleting for good now. I don't have time to waste.

Issue without uploading video files

Problem with uploading video files takes hours to upload 200 mb file.
Need to cancel upload, and trying again than works, hope that will fix soon. Every time I go to use computer because can’t upload from the phone

Love the options!

Love the options of viewing opportunities for me in my areas of interest. And love the ease of this app!

Subtitles don’t work

English subtitles don’t work

Excellent

Excellent and I love this platform

Appalling customer service

Reading some of the horror stories here about subscribers being ripped off, they ring true with my own, which was that Vimeo suddenly deleted all of my videos when an old credit card they somehow had for me bounced the payment. They didn't bother trying to contact me; and after a week of everything being off-line and my business being hugely affected when they finally reconnected me it was to a much more expensive plan. I'm now in the process of moving everything to a European server called bunny.

For anybody except American users, Vimeo is now a complete waste of time; they claim it's due to GDP R regulations but actually they're just too lazy to work with what a very reasonable privacy regulations
