User Reviews

Users praise Floatplane for its strong creator content and solid 1080p playback, but repeatedly call out missing modern features (background play, PiP) and inconsistent casting (AirPlay/TV). Scrubbing issues, login/activation friction, and cross‑device usability/stability problems are common complaints. If the feature gaps are addressed (PiP, background playback, reliable casting) and stability improves, the app’s content library could justify continued subscription; otherwise many would fallback to the web or competing apps.

Pros

High-quality, creator-driven content (e.g., Linus Tech Tips, The Trash Network) available on Floatplane.
Good video playback quality (notably 1080p) and straightforward playback/navigation when features work.
Notices about new content are delivered, helping fans stay updated.

Cons

Missing background play and Picture in Picture (PiP) support.
Lack of reliable AirPlay/TV casting support, making it hard to watch on TVs.
Poor scrubbing/seek bar behavior—taps or drags often don’t register, making it hard to scrub through videos.
Login/activation friction and sign-in issues (activation problems or sign-in page without account creation).
Cross-device usability and stability problems (worse on iPad/iPhone, landscape issues, occasional crashes or black screens when backgrounding/foregrounding).

Recent reviews

On the iPhone and iPad, closed captions are small and difficult to read. I can’t use the spacebar to play/pause with a keyboard. Orientation is very… confusing. I want it to stay in landscape if my iPad is in landscape. It’s difficult to read posts (not videos), as they take up most of the screen. It would be great if the video continued playing in the little window when the app is switched away from. Finally, simple navigation needs a lot of work. I’m not sure how to qualify it, but it really needs to work properly.

Made an account and confirmed it in the browser and logged in successfully. On the app it says the account isn’t activated, glad I checked before paying anything

It plays video, navigates the content I want to watch, and notifies me. I would love to see background play be enabled and/or Picture in Picture be implemented. I often listen to a lot of the more podcasty formed stuff when I go for a walk or ride my bike and I’d like to have the screen off.
