It seemed like a really novel idea to me because the other ones force you to buy a subscription, so a way to watch YouTube on my watch seemed great! So I boot it up and all I see is this message that says “A TLS error caused the secure connection to fail.” I was confused, so I searched up how to watch videos and google told me I had to download it on my phone so that it can work. I did, but it still shows the message and I don’t know what to do! ### 4/5 — Honestly great but *2026-01-17, version 1.3.6* The best thing I had on my watch but it just disappeared one day and I can’t download it again ### 2/5 — TLS error *2026-01-11, version 1.3.6* So im downloading that app and i try to watch a video and it tells me a TLS error and it says on their website if this happened go to Instance in settings but i dont have that i am on the latest update and i dont know if it is my fault on my end. ### 3/5 — Why is it not working? *2025-12-28, version 1.3.6* When I first got it it worked but now it says there is an SSL error which does not let me watch videos. ### 2/5 — Useless do not know what to do *2025-12-27, version 1.3.6* When ever I go into the app on my Apple Watch it says “error a TLS error caused the secure connection to fail” I do not know what that means or how to fix it cause all of my other apps work fine. And I have the app on my phone to so idk very useless app. ### 3/5 — Unstable maintenance and update problems *2025-11-17, version 1.3.6* I have been waiting to get a phone to write this review.
