"Good, but sports get blurry"
Picture is fine most of the time. Live sports blur randomly. Even with solid internet, it can take a bit to clear up. Not awful. Just less steady than I hoped.

"Suddenly says my device isn’t supported"
I’ve been using the app on this same device without any issues, so it was really frustrating when it suddenly started saying my device isn’t supported. Nothing changed on my end, and I couldn’t find any clear way to fix it. It’s annoying, especially since it worked fine before.

"Recordings keep disappearing"
I really wanted to trust this, but my gut was right to be cautious. Every time I make a recording, it seems to disappear afterward. It’s frustrating because I expect my recordings to be there when I need them, and so far that hasn’t been the case.

"Feels Like the Navigation Doesn’t Really Care About Users"
The layout is mostly easy enough to get around, but it feels like some basic stuff gets overlooked. Finding settings or certain channels takes way more clicks than it should, and it kind of makes me feel like user feedback on this just isn’t being heard.

"Constant Buffering Ruins It"
I’m frustrated with YouTube TV lately. It keeps freezing right in the middle of shows and games, and the picture quality randomly drops even though my internet works perfectly fine on every other app. I don’t think it’s too much to expect a service I’m paying for to run smoothly, especially during live sports. At this point, it’s just not worth the headache

"I canceled my YouTube TV trial before it…"
I canceled my YouTube TV trial before it was supposed to end, but I still ended up getting billed. The whole cancellation process was more annoying than it needed to be because the cancel page wasn’t easy to find. Then I had to keep chasing support about it, and all I got back were the same copy-paste replies that didn’t really answer anything. Frustrating experience overall.

"Still good, but getting pricey"
It works fine and there are plenty of channels to choose from, which is nice. I still use it regularly, so it’s definitely useful. That said, the price keeps creeping up — because of course it does, and it just doesn’t feel like the great deal it used to be.

"Not enough value for the price"
I gave tv.youtube.com a try mainly for the channel lineup, but i was kind of disappointed. A few channels I actually watch weren’t included, while there were plenty of others I’d probably never use. For what it costs, I just don’t feel like I’d be getting enough value out of it.

"I signed up for the free..."
I signed up for the free trial thinking it would be simple, but I ended up getting charged even after I cancelled. Trying to deal with support was frustrating, I kept getting passed around and having to explain the same thing over and over, like I was begging them to fix their own mistake. By the end, I was just annoyed and resentful. Definitely not worth the headache

"The stream limit gets frustrating"
I’m paying a decent amount for this, so getting kicked off because there are “too many streams” is annoying, haha. It always seems to happen right in the middle of a game, which makes it even worse. I’ve reached out to support, but it mostly feels like they just repeat the same basic answers

"Too many ads lately, haha"
I’m paying this much and still getting hit with ads constantly, haha. It wouldn’t be as bad if they weren’t the exact same ones over and over every break.

"I mostly use tv.youtube.com to catch up on..."
I mostly use tv.youtube.com to catch up on shows after work, and when it works, it’s convenient. Some episodes show up quickly, and the layout is simple enough that I don’t have to think too much about where to find things.

That said, the on-demand selection feels really inconsistent. I’ve had episodes just not show up, or they’re only available in some odd version with ads I can’t skip. Movies seem to disappear fast too, which gets annoying when I assumed they’d still be there.

My biggest gripe is that it’s never totally clear what I actually have access to or “own” as part of the service. Sometimes it feels like it’s included, sometimes it’s not, and there’s not much explanation. It’s not awful, but for the price, I expected it to feel a lot more complete and less confusing.

"Lost trust in the local sports coverage"
I signed up for YouTube TV mainly to watch live sports, especially local games, and it’s been disappointing. They make it sound like the coverage is solid, but then games I was counting on are blacked out, missing, or the channel isn’t even available where I live. For what they charge, that’s really frustrating. I don’t feel like I can trust what they advertise anymore. If you’re signing up for local teams, definitely double-check everything before you pay

"The add-ons are nice, but wow they add up"
I do like that YouTube TV makes it super easy to add stuff like HBO or Sports Plus, and just as easy to take them off if you don’t want them anymore. That part is nice, really nice. But the cost starts climbing fast, fast, especially if you add more than one. Some of the channels feel like they should already be part of the regular package. Overall it works fine and I’m still using it, but it’s definitely not as cheap as I was hoping.

"I don’t feel like the parental controls have my back"
I’ve been frustrated with tv.youtube.com lately, mainly because the parental controls feel way more confusing than they should. I’m trying to be careful about what my kid can access, but somehow they still end up finding things I thought I’d already blocked. The settings feel scattered and buried in different places, so I don’t really feel confident that everything is actually locked down. For something families are supposed to use, I expected it to be a lot easier to manage and trust.

"Home Location Rules Are Way Too Annoying"
YouTube TV was Fine for me at first, but the whole home location thing has made it way more frustrating than it needs to be.

I travel for work often and I’ll sometimes stay with family, and then suddenly it’s telling me I’m not in my home area. Some channels get blocked, or it wants me to verify again, and it just feels like a hassle for something I’m already paying for every month.

I reached out to support, but they mostly gave me the same basic steps that didn’t really fix anything. I understand they need rules, but this feels too strict and not very user Friendly.

"Family sharing has been kind of a mess"
The family sharing setup has been really frustrating. Profiles keep getting mixed up, and my family members randomly lose access for no clear reason. Like, for what we’re paying, it should just work without all this hassle. I reached out to support too, but yeah, they didn’t really help much.

"Login works, but I’m starting to trust it less"
Signing in usually works fine, but every now and then it randomly asks me to verify my account again. It’s not the end of the world, but when I’m in a hurry it gets annoying. After a few times, it kind of makes me wonder if I can rely on it to just let me get in when I need to.

"Captions are constantly off"
The closed captions on tv.youtube.com have been frustrating for me. They’ll lag behind by a few seconds, skip entire lines, or sometimes show words that don’t match what was said at all. It’s especially noticeable during live shows, where even a small delay makes it hard to follow what’s going on. For the price, I really expected the captions to be a lot more reliable

"Still Not Fixed After All Their Promises"
I waited way longer than I should have, and every time I reached out, I just got the same copy-paste replies. They kept saying it would be taken care of, but nothing actually changed. Frustrating when a company makes promises and then doesn’t follow through.
