Football

If you try to watch a game and it runs long and somehow disconnect, good luck finding that game

Frustrating!!

Another update for bugs, which have not been resolved (especially sync issues).
And never any functional improvements.
Google should be able to invest more support for this app and their customers!!

Unreliable when traveling

The YouTube TV system often incorrectly blocks me from watching when I have been away from home for less than 3 months.
Support is not very helpful and will send me irrelevant instructions or only fix the problem for a few days. I don’t know if other services are better about this, but YouTube TV is getting frustrating.

No way to stop auto play or block scores on Home page

💡💡My idea: add option to open app to LIBRARY page instead of HOME page💡💡
We pay a lot for NFL SUNDAY and watch a lot of sports. The home page shows all the current games playing live, along with all the scores.

Horrible

So i turned to 13 a week ago and the age of consebt to use yt tv is 13-18 with parent permission but it wont work for my gmail

Why is auto play not optional?!?

I paid a lot of money for NFL Sunday ticket and when I open this YouTube TV app, every game is on autoplay with the scores prominently displayed? Why would you do that? What is the point of paying for games? If you can just look at the home screen and see all the scores the idea is to not see all the scores before you watch the game!

I want to watch live TV

I don’t want to pick up from where I left off from 3 hours ago.

Constant freezing

I only subscribe for Sunday Ticket. Every game I watch constantly freezes or buffers. Happens on the TV app, Roku, Ipad or any other device I try to watch.

Mad very MAD

Purchased the $44 sports plan. Go to watch NFL, get a QR code or an address to login. Get only plans to purchase. No login / no sign-in. Fortunately FOX carries the Bears today.
Why…why do you make it so hard to use your program. WHY!!!

Singular issue

Ignoring the outrageous price, my one star is due to a single feature that needs changed. Give us the ability to change the amount that it skips forward and back. Make it exactly like the YouTube app where it can be set between 5 and 60 seconds. Super easy to implement, just do it.

Resume Feature Does Not Work

The resume feature in YouTubeTV is awful and never works correctly especially across devices. I have spent hours with customer support and messing with settings and this is a YTTV dev problem, not a me problem!

Restricted access

This app is awful. I’ll be watching a channel and all of a sudden it tells me “the video is unavailable.” No matter how many times I retry, same error. Today I had a different error that told me “YouTube tv is unavailable in this country.” I regret canceling my other subscription to come over to YouTube tv.

can’t pause for 5 minutes

Pause a show for 5 minutes, then start it up and it resets to the show beginning. Wastes my time to find where i left off watching.

User interface controls are too small on ipad mini, Example, full screen control.

Tiny, tiny, tiny. Difficult to tap.

Sucks

I live in Temecula (Riverside County in Southern California) and I can’t see the Lakers game because it’s blocked in my area. Unsubscribing.

Multiview closed caption

On Apple TV , I’d love to see closed captions in all multiview windows. If the programming is playing, then CC should be present. Thanks

You tube tv sucks

Youtube TV is by far the most confusing and worst app that I've ever used. To sign up through my tv, I was provided a QR code. I used the QR code and logged into my Google account.  Then nothing. I tried this four or five times before giving up on the QR code and trying to go directly to the website that the QR code was referencing.  Once I did this, I had success. I was under the impression that the trial that I had signed up for would give me access to a Broncos game that I was trying to watch for American football.  Which it did for about thirty minutes, then said my viewing time was up.  So then I had no reason to pay for YouTube TV, so then I went to try to cancel. I went through the same loop, but this time even more confusing, to cancel my subscription. Finally, going to a computer and going to the website directly and was able to cancel.  Most people use phones these days. Using a browser on a computer short be the easiest way to sign up or cancel a subscription to a service that is most obviously not for computer use. For this reason I will never use YouTube TV or subscribe to anything YouTube or Google for that matter ever again. Horrible experience and I feel that the company is just trying to make it hard so I forget about it and my trial runs up and they're able to charge me.  By the way, nobody I know likes YouTube TV. Everybody thinks it sucks. I've never met one person who was like 'Wow, YouTube TV, it's really good'.

Horrible

Incredibly expensive, even after canceling on the free trial was charged for $255 with no warning I’d still be charged, never again.

Terrible for Traveling

I was recently trying to watch a football game but because I am traveling I cannot watch it. That should not be fair.
