### 3/5 — No mute button? No surprise

*2026-08-23, version 10.34*

Expensive but a nice selection of channels and great DVR features. But why just three stars? Because the mobile apps don’t have a one-tap mute feature. Want to silence those commercials? Grope for your device’s volume buttons. Why, it’s as if Google makes money selling ads that they want you to hear. Oh wait…

### 1/5 — No service…how do I reach someone to help me??

*2026-08-23, version 10.34*

I haven’t had service all day…who can I call ?

### 1/5 — False Advertisement

*2026-08-22, version 10.34*

You purchase programs that YouTube Tv won’t deliver. Completely scam.

### 1/5 — Sunday Ticket

*2026-08-22, version 10.34*

Two weeks into the season and I still can’t watch all the teams.  False advertising.

### 5/5 — YouTube TV is the best one yet

*2026-08-19, version 10.33*

Fair price for what  you get allot of great channels to choose from and the multiview feature is amazing keep it up YouTube definitely better than Hulu/sling/xfinity/direct tv . I definitely recommend YouTube and the fact they have a section for the Fresno state bulldogs Football is awesome can’t wait to see what they do in the next few years keep it up YouTube Tv your tv service is the best one I tried so far .

### 1/5 — Why not free

*2026-08-17, version 10.33*

App

### 3/5 — Glitch

*2026-08-17, version 10.33*

Why am I all of a sudden in the past week getting a message on the mobile app that I’ve reached my limit? I am a one person household and when I get this message there is no other tv or laptop, etc on streaming anything. I went on to log out anything “suspicious “ last week. I got the message again today. I’m getting tired of this! And it doesn’t give me that message on my laptop or two other tv’s when I turn them on to check. Please fix!

### 1/5 — Sunday Ticket

*2026-08-15, version 10.33*

400 dollars and no access to all preseason games.  Google trending with companies I have left before to charge more and give less.  Time to start looking for another provider.

### 3/5 — Too high

*2026-08-15, version 10.33*

Hey, I’m sorry I love your guys service but you guys are too high. If you could make an adjustment to that bring it down from 80 and bring it down to 50 to 60 I probably people might be able to afford that well. I hope this didn’t upset you, but that’s too high. I ain’t paying $80 for YouTube TV which I can get TV for free with rabbit ears might not be a lot but I’ve got enough. Have a good day.

### 2/5 — Don’t update!!!

*2026-08-15, version 10.33*

Terrible new update Aug 26. MOVE ADDS!!!!Most shows now require multiple clicking to get to your live program. Putting extra advertisements on the screen before you can get to your program.
