User Reviews

Overall, Apple users report YouTube TV as unstable and overpriced. The most recurring issues are ads that interrupt even paid subscriptions and recordings; unreliable playback controls (resume, fast-forward/rewind, and sporadic switching to live); rising subscription costs and questionable value, including additional 4K charges; missing or restricted channels (loss of ABC/CBS and limited national sports access) and geolocation barriers; and frequent buffering with poor video quality (blurry images on iPad, slow switching, and inconsistent HD/4K delivery). A few note cancellation and login problems.
Pros
Cons
  • Ads are excessive, including ads in paid subscriptions and on recorded programs.
  • Playback/controls are unreliable: resume from last watched often fails; fast-forward/rewind can get stuck or behave unpredictably; sometimes playback switches to live instead of resuming.
  • High price and price increases reduce perceived value, including additional 4K pricing concerns.
  • Channel lineup issues and location-based restrictions: missing popular channels (e.g., ABC/CBS) and inability to watch nationally broadcast sports in some regions.
  • Buffering and poor video quality: frequent buffering for sports, blurry video on iPad, and inconsistent HD/4K delivery.

Won’t even play local games. This app sucks badly. Just keep scrolling g to another app that you can actually watch football with. Thanks for nothing. Thank god they had a trial. Only took me less than 24 hours to choose a much better streaming service than this one.

The fact they’re using their own video player is stupid. Apple’s is so much better. Also, skip forwards or backwards should resume the video automatically, not stop it. The rest of streaming apps do this but not YouTube or YouTubeTV. As of late, some recorded content stays on the black screen way too, sometimes requiring to restart the player. There’s some intentional data throttling and heavy compression going on that makes the app difficult to like, especially on an AppleTV box. I hope they roll out a much needed app update with the upcoming AppleTV box refresh. Also, 4k content should be free and standard, not a 10 dollar add on.
