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 :( ### 2/5 — Good platform, buggy app *2026-07-05, version 11.24.1* Used to work fine, now crashes regularly while videos are playing. especially when using airplay/casting to another device to watch on larger screens ### 1/5 — Péssimo no computador *2026-06-18* 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…. ### 2/5 — Lost the plot *2026-06-16, version 11.24.1* Why do you need my ID to watch a video? Can’t be arsed. Sorry. ### 2/5 — Bizarre and confusing *2026-05-31, version 11.24.1* 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? ### 1/5 — Can’t verify age… *2026-05-25* 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. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-05-22, version 11.24.1* So, this app does nothing ### 1/5 — Currently unusable *2026-05-20, version 11.24.1* 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. ### 3/5 — Issue without uploading video files *2026-05-16, version 11.24.1* 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 ### 4/5 — Subtitles don’t work *2026-05-08, version 11.24.1* English subtitles don’t work ### 2/5 — Appalling customer service *2026-05-02, version 11.24.1* 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 ### 1/5 — New search horrible *2026-05-01, version 11.24.1* Vimeo has gone backwards and the Apple TV search function a joke. Can’t search by user anymore . Never seen an organization remove useful functionality. ### 2/5 — New *2026-04-21, version 11.24.1* This app is terrible it wants to invade your privacy Despite me using it for work I have verified my email. It now wants to get a selfie of me and doesn’t except it once I have done a selfie Then it wants photo I’d I am not giving that to an app that I will only use for 3 weeks for work purposes What a complete waste ### 1/5 — Stupid censorship *2026-04-12, version 11.24.1* I uploaded art-time-lapse. Then my account got deleted. What a joke. ### 1/5 — Vimeo treats you like criminals *2026-03-29, version 11.24.1* Now you have to take mugshots to access that lame app ? This is crazy. I do not understand its point anymore. What kind of service they offer now? Do they work for the future One World Government by giving them all our personal information, face and profiles pictures ? What is going on there ? I can no longer discover cool videos like we ised to. Very very disappointing and disturbing. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-03-20, version 11.24.1* You can no longer search for hardly anything without getting a “failed to load” message. If you wait and try again after an hour or two you can search for a few moments before it fails to load again. Also, I am in the USA. They claim that search problems are only for people in EU/UK, but that’s not true. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t watch videos *2026-08-10, version 11.25.0* Can only manage account, what is the point of this app? Why isn’t it like YouTube to be able watch videos and see other peoples work?? ### 1/5 — Can’t reset pw *2026-08-09, version 11.25.0* Doesn’t recognize my email, huh? It says the email I’ve been using for 30 years is invalid. uninstalled. ### 1/5 — I’m not giving Vimeo my biometric data *2026-08-06, version 11.25.0* When I opened the Vimeo app today on my phone I found them asking for “age verification” before I could access the app in any way. They would seem to be doing this on behalf of the British government. In order to “verify” they wanted my biometric information which they said they would pass on to a company called “Persona”. This is tantamount to Vimeo wanting to create a biometric digital identity for me. Under no circumstances do I agree to that, so I exited the app and have now deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Can't watch videos *2026-07-31, version 11.25.0* I am not able to see any videos. It lets me search only in my library, which is empty. ### 1/5 — Lack of information *2026-07-21, version 11.24.1* Rented a video, cannot for the life of me figure out for how long. Who tf really knows. ### 1/5 — This is the worst app *2026-07-14, version 11.24.1* The videos are extremely limited and are often not very interesting. What I want is to watch videos about birds, not mediocre artists. ### 1/5 — A joke *2026-07-13, version 11.24.1* 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? ### 1/5 — Stole my money *2026-07-11, version 11.24.1* Cancelled with Vimeo and they charged me nearly $400 after my cancellation ### 1/5 — Pornography *2026-07-10, version 11.24.1* Open the app and get sent straight to a gay pornographer video can’t remove it. Can’t report this app is really bad… ### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work *2026-06-22, version 11.24.1* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My favorite thing *2026-08-05, version 11.25.0* This app is great for me to use username KingIan2.0 from my other video and my other TikTok video this page was very helpful for me to be able to follow the video much more popular from my Vimeo page KingIan2.0 ### 5/5 — Love the options! *2026-05-10, version 11.24.1* Love the options of viewing opportunities for me in my areas of interest. And love the ease of this app! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-05-03, version 11.24.1* Excellent and I love this platform ### 5/5 — Awesome company *2026-04-24, version 11.24.1* I accidentally purchased a year subscription apparently instead of that monthly subscription and they were so kind to offer me a refund when I requested. Not a lot of companies would do that anymore, so I appreciate that so much and any time I’m in need of these services, they will be recommended. ### 5/5 — Vimeo *2026-01-26, version 11.24.1* Is crazy ### 5/5 — A Tremendous Application *2025-12-20, version 11.22.1* I’ve been a subscriber since November 17. Love the app because it’s ad-free! ### 5/5 — tv *2025-12-07, version 11.22.0* I have been so excited with the return of Vimeo on the tv, and just have a couple of suggestions: 1. Please add the ability to turn off auto play 2. Make it easier to access a creator’s page: maybe, when long pressing on a video, add the option to the sub menu, or – when watching a video – add the option to the info tab since a list of other videos is already added in the “Up Next” tab. ### 5/5 — Great way to view High Quality Content/ 3 feature request *2025-10-06, version 11.18.0* 3 Feature requests: 1 The Vimeo app on tvOS could use Integration with the tvOS ‘Top Shelf’ feature. 2 the tvOS app lacks a way to ‘Follow’ Content Creators like the iOS/iPadOS versions. 3 The iOS/iPadOS versions need Widgets. ### 5/5 — Best video application *2025-09-10, version 11.17.0* No ads! No greedy creators to deal with! Just pure content! ### 5/5 — Good, but needs work *2025-08-15, version 11.15.0* This is awesome. I’m trying to cut ties with YouTube, and I could use any platform I can get. My one issue is that the search engine hasn’t been working for me. It consistently fails to load. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
