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… ### 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! ### 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. ### 2/5 — ain’t worth the money *2026-08-14, version 10.33* kinda sucks how you pay so much yet it depends where you live at apparently you can’t watch every single channel that includes in your plan witch is kinda stupid ### 2/5 — So glitchy and poor functionality *2026-08-13, version 10.33* How can Google develop such a poor app?? I like the channel line up, but the app is so buggy, sync between devices is terrible, and library mgmt functions are negligible. Please—put a decent Dev team on this product. ### 3/5 — Like the app but really needs improvements *2026-08-06, version 10.32* So, I LOVE YouTube TV. As far as the app, it functions snd launches, plays and starts quickly. I only gave 3 stars only because it’s hard to find my shows I recorded in the library! Please make it easier to see and find the library recordings in the app. Has total capability to get an4-5 star rating. To reiterate, I DO love YouTube TV, the app needs fixed though. ### 1/5 — Terrible service *2026-08-05, version 10.31* I pay auto deduct over $90 per month and can’t access….. customer service no help. No problem on phone but can’t access TV. Haven’t been able to use for over 2 months. Beyond frustrating……… ### 1/5 — So hard to cancel add ons *2026-07-29, version 10.30* East to add an add on but even after jumping through hundred hoops you will not be able to cancel add ons or subscriptions online. Ended up calling and cancelling all subscriptions out of frustration. Terrible customer service too. They asked unnecessary questions before finally cancelling. ### 2/5 — Can we get it together eventually *2026-07-28, version 10.30* The espn unlimited slow rollout is getting really old. Apparently 8 months not enough ### 2/5 — Deleting Library! *2026-07-26, version 10.30* Why is YouTube TV deleting shows from my library? If I go to my shows they are there but it doesn’t tell me where I left off! I reached out for help but they were clueless. This is not what I pay for!! ### 1/5 — A pretty dumb programming on this service *2026-07-25, version 10.30* If I had it set to record the original White House correspondents dinner, but then it’s rescheduled, the programmer is on this app aren’t even smart enough to make it automatically record for you They do this kind of stuff and worse on sports if you’re a big sports fan I wouldn’t get this YouTube TV they’ve been making stupid mistakes for years and they never listen ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-24, version 10.30* The product is unusable with the quantity and length of unskippable 3 minute ads. I’ve recommended this product to my customers, but I will not move forward due to the insane number of ads. ### 1/5 — Cancelled Membership *2026-07-23, version 10.30* I cancelled my membership in February and I am still being charged. Customer service is the worse. ### 3/5 — Zen *2026-07-22, version 10.30* Soccer is over, soccer isn’t Zen. Can you get it off the Zen screen because cheering loudly is so far from Zen you are pushing me to cancel! ### 1/5 — Misleading Cancellation Process *2026-07-22, version 10.29* I need refund for the auto renewal that I didn’t approve. I already attempted to cancel the free trail before it ended. Somehow the UI was intentionally hidden the cancellation confirmation button, and misleading. I thought it was already cancelled. ### 1/5 — DONT DOWNLOAD *2026-07-22, version 10.29* GOOGLE CHARGED ME WITHOUT CONSENT FOR SUBSCRIPTION THAT WASN’T ACTIVE & CANCELED. REFUSED REFUND ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Why not free *2026-08-17, version 10.33* App ### 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. ### 1/5 — Cub *2026-08-11, version 10.32* no cubs games😔 ### 1/5 — Please fix our account NOW!!!!!! *2026-08-09, version 10.32* The Google account is not letting us into our Samsung tv, now the tv says it signed us out completely. ### 1/5 — Fix FF and rewind *2026-08-09, version 10.32* While watching live sports, 15 seconds backwards often bugs out of goes back 10-20 mins. Trying to FF also buggy. Checking replays is super annoying. It’s been like this at least a year. Fix these playback issues!! ### 1/5 — Bait and switch *2026-08-08, version 10.32* Used to be good. Now commercials are overwhelming. Better access is out there for the money, not wasting time, but not Youtube tv. ### 1/5 — Google won’t get a cent from me *2026-08-05, version 10.31* Charges companies to display ads and regular users to avoid seeing them wth 😂😂 I really hope Google disappears completely. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 . ### 5/5 — Very user friendly *2026-08-14, version 10.33* Easy to navigate on phone App and enjoy the Zen moments during commercials ### 5/5 — Better than cable, reliable stream *2026-07-30, version 10.31* Wish I could add / tie in NHL Network and my local NHL and MLB teams in Minnesota, but happy otherwise ### 5/5 — No Hidden Fees *2026-07-10, version 10.28* No Cable Box Required ### 5/5 — Best “Cut the Cable” Option *2026-07-07, version 10.27* We have used all the cable providers, and this option far surpasses them all. The “DVR” is phenomenal! We record all the shows that we enjoy and simply fast-forward through the commercials. We even did this on a road-trip in which we accessed the program via Starlink hooked up to our vehicle so that we didn’t need to stream using cellular data. We did this from Texas to Indiana and back. It was phenomenal!! ### 5/5 — App *2026-07-02, version 10.27* This app is so amazing ### 5/5 — YOUTUBE TV *2026-06-21, version 10.25* ITS GOOD TO WATCH YOUTUBE TV WHEN YOUR NOT HOME ### 5/5 — GARBAGE *2026-06-13, version 10.24* This app promises a 10 day free trial, collects your card information, then rudely objects and says you’re no longer eligible. What a very useless app that’s honestly overpriced. Skip it!!!! ### 5/5 — Okay cool with it but in the future, please entertain us more for now the time that it anything okay *2026-06-04, version 10.23* Okay ### 5/5 — Youtube TV suggestions *2026-05-29, version 10.22* I really love this app. Could you please add the History Channel, bro Reelz, Story Television, and inwonder, lifetime, metv, netv 2, metv plus, military heroes, modern marvels, TV one, science channel, mlb, and tv one crime and justice and uptv?
