Best app on vision pro

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

Please enable Apple Environment full screen mode!

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.

Much needed updates

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.

Resolution

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.

About time!!

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

Good Start

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.

Watching history doesn’t seem to be kept

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

Lacklustre Performance

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!

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!

Working well

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

Works great!

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

Missing many features

Just comparing this app to the very simplistic Apple TV app so many features are missing and many bugs are present.

*The subscriptions feed is broken and only shows one video at a time
* the ui cuts off the age of the video
* the recommendations seem very different from my other devices, and aren’t great
* I can’t leave comments or view the date
* premium skip feature is missing.
That’s just off the dome many features are missing and the browser experience is still better overall which is really saying something.

Doesn’t play

Just added it to my Vision Pro and it won’t play any videos

Edit: Was told it needed a force quit or in-/re-install to rectify lack of playback. I had to do neither, although technically it was the force quit because it started working after this last update to the VisionOS.

Changed my review from 1 star to 4 stars. It plays everything although immersive playback does not allow for reclined viewing. You have to be upright to view immersive content.

Access to some of the items (thumbs, playlists, and the like) is not immediately intuitive but is easy to use once learned.

Close but not there yet

This is a nice to have app and i understand the priority list is? Horizon os>andriod xr>vision os but more integration into vision os environments would be great..also and I stress this the most comments section Isaac must have..currently with the version I am using we can see comments but cannot add I find myself exiting the app and going to my watch history in the vision os web browser to interact with videos

Missing a lot of features

Couple of missing features that result in a subpar user experience:1) can’t watch and browse other videos. -> should support floating player and allow for search and browsing 2) no download support for premium users so no offline viewing

Downloads, bugs, skipping forward

This app is such a downgrade from the mobile version. You need to be able to download videos, why am I paying $30 a month with and not getting this feature. Furthermore, for the last two days, I have not been able to play any video when I click on a video, it just gives me a blank screen I deleted and re-download that the app with no remedy. Lastly, I wish there was uneasy skip forward option like there is in mobile and desktop.

It was working fine, but

Love the app is very well-made but couple of things one is there is no off-line download. Also now it is bricked it won’t work. I click on a video and it won’t start.

There’s a couple things wrong with the app first off. There is no theater mode like there is using other alternative apps. Also, there’s no auto dim selection as other people also mentioned the quality is a bit low when watching in spatial mode and there seems to be some sort of issue with the app currently on the newest visionOS update. These are honestly things that can be fixed quite easily I hope they work on it

Okay when it works

As the title implies, the app is buggy. More than half the time I try to use it the videos just never start. Attempting to open a video quickly opens to a black screen that never changes. Even after force quits / restarts of the device. Beyond that, the app is just okay. The interface seems barebones but is a bit easier to use than the website UI. Spatial videos are pretty cool, but I find the resolution is lacking even at the highest quality settings.

Stopped working entirely

Downloaded this to check it out, It worked great for a while, then I updated the latest version of visionOS, and now every video doesn’t even load. Just get a black screen. I’ve tried restarting my vision pro, uninstalling the app and reinstalling it, logging out and logging in – everything. it’s completely broken now.

No offline download for premium?

Very happy to finally have an app, but the lack of off-line download is extremely disappointing as that would’ve been my main use case for this on long flights.
