### 5/5 — Best app on vision pro

*2026-07-05*

You lost the main feature - download video to offline watch. I can’t watch videos on the fly or any places without internet. That adorable

### 4/5 — Please enable Apple Environment full screen mode!

*2026-06-14*

Thank you for making this app available to us on the visionOS platform! It’s a great start and the future is bright. Please give us the ability to watch in full screen mode with light and dark Apple Environments.

### 4/5 — Much needed updates

*2026-04-21*

Nice update and appreciated for making the view window much larger. That was much needed. Definitely increasing the polish of the app is appreciated. About the only thing that would be nice to see is the ability to respond to comments or make comments, and/or the ability to use Gemini to see summaries like you now can on Apple TV. To see Google working on this. It’s nice.

### 4/5 — Resolution

*2026-04-08*

It really needs a higher resolution streaming option. Right now it only streams in up to 2K. That’s pretty nice but everything definitely feels blurry even if the video that you pick is 8K or even 16 K. It just doesn’t stream that high in terms of resolution. There are other apps that do a better job. Apart from that, it’s a pretty cool app.

### 5/5 — About time!!

*2026-03-31*

Applications great, and optimized for Vision Pro now if they can make the screen bigger, the theater size like to do with Paramount+ and other video applications on Vision Pro that’ll be perfect

### 4/5 — Good Start

*2026-03-29*

The app is very familiar if you ever used the oculus version. 360 and 180 formats work as well. Would be great to get an immersive mode for the interface like in the occ but native is better as windowed so you can have it to the side whilst working in productivity apps default.

### 4/5 — Watching history doesn’t seem to be kept

*2026-03-21*

Watching history is not kept here or on other devices with the same account.

### 4/5 — Lacklustre Performance

*2026-03-12*

This app was frozen on me. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it a second upon the advice of the developer and I’m delighted to say that it is functioning as advertised. The user interface takes some getting used to, such finding the Like and Subscribe menu. Good stuff!

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting this issue! Your feedback has been super helpful, and our team was able to identify and fix the "black screen playback" issue. The fix requires that you force quit YouTube app before attempting playback again. You could also try uninstalling and re-installing the app. Please give this a try now and see if everything is working as expected!

### 4/5 — Working well

*2026-03-11*

Everything working correctly after last update. Video length info missing from preview. Missing return to top of feed function, list of available videos short

Had an issue when 26.3 first came out but dev team was able to get that fixed quickly, looking forward to see more updates coming to Vision Pro
