I want to love this, but I can't! Please fix these bugs, and I'll gladly change this to 5 stars. App crashes all of the time--somtimes after a few min. Then I get to reopen, search for my video, rewatch ads, and try to find where I left off. Please fix this, as well as add a "watch later" section so I don't have to keep searching for my videos.

Great concept. Poor execution. As badly as I want this app to work, because the world needs a free speech video platform that doesn't make you make up words to avoid censorship, the latest version is annoyingly glitchy. If you accidentally change screen orientation, it freezes and forces you to restart and watch at least two more ads. You can't minimize the video and continue using the app. Sometimes, app minimizes and won't allow you to return to full screen without restarting, more ads.

I like the ceo, I like the mission, I like everything about the company. But the app is over the top terrible. Freezes Midstream 100% of the time. Message the app up significantly when you switch from portrait to landscape also. When switching from portrait to landscape it will completely restart an ad. And again if I watch anything more than 10 to 12 minutes it freezes. Have to close the app and reopen and close at 3:00 before it functions again.

NOW...please allow users to turn off email notifications, but still receive push notifications; I wish Rumble would save my spot on a video like YouTube does, even if I close the app & come back to it later. (Fixed!🥰) NOW...please allow the ROKUTV apps to save my place on the videos I'm watching too. PRIORITY #2: a "history" list to quickly get to videos I'm in the middle of would be SO nice!!!😁 PRIORITY #1: Please allow users to download content to their device so they can listen offline.

Love it, but there's many issues. I don't appreciate getting thrown out when a live ends and then having to try and figure out where I was. While doing so, I get absolutely bombarded with ads, many of which can't be skipped. They say they can, but then you just get 2 more, even longer ads. By then, I just get bored and move on.

I want to use rumble as my main video player, but the phone app is completely and utterly broken. Can't play in the background for more than 5 minutes without having to open the app, restart all the ads, and then try and find your spot again on the video. The app is effectively unusable. Not even mentioning the intense drain on data and battery. Please, please fix.

I used to give this 3 stars because it crashed so much while casting. Then they put ads on that replay everytime it crashes so it went down to 2 stars because I still liked the content. I now can't even watch a single casted video without being forced to watch ads 4 to 5x more often than I should and it's been over a year. I end up missing all the content I would otherwise watch because it's just not worth the effort. I guess I'll just watch clips on YouTube. Thanks for all the false hope.

Rumble links open browser, not the app. Mostly unusable except via desktop browser. Basic controls a mess (ffwd/rwd). Shared links don't display a video thumbnail on various social platforms. Comment notifications don't take you back to the comment. (Impossible to find it in a popular video with lots of comments.) No Playlists. No Select All to organize/adjust channel notifications; notifications must be individually toggled for every subscription. (Default = email spammed.)

App was fine without this last update. Would have given 10 stars! Love Rumble but you always seem to make it worse than better with updates! Update May/June 2024 again another update that is terrible and the content on live videos is constantly buffering. This was fixed from my 2023 review but yet again I find myself trying to watch/listen to something that's impossible to make out.

Like the idea, but can't recommend on user experience. Many usability bugs for months, including: * push notifications to channels you don't want; no opt out. * ads pause when changing orientation, bug out and don't play, or bug out the video making them pause/restart if focus is lost. * scheduled live streams can begin but the video will not start without app restart. * Many others. No progress on them. Support does respond or seem to care

Here we go again. I will continue to revise my review until the developers get their act together. I'd love to give 5 stars as soon as the damn android app actually works. Forced ads have broken everything. As in, videos don't play or crash the app. "Something went wrong" is the error and understatement of the century. Live streams crash as soon as stream ends. Rumble will never go anywhere until it stops producing this broken garbage.

Game changing features recently added with library, recently watched, and playlists. My progress seems to be saving too which is great, and would love this to work across devices so I could start on my phone and finish on the Roku. Also, the mini player in Android picture-in-picture is finally pausing (wasn't until just recently). Bravo to the Rumble team for continuing to raise the bar on user experience!

I was completely in love with Rumble but your last update... Guys, seriously. You lost the features that made you stand out/be better than everyone else in the crowd. What I miss the most is being able to start listening to something, pause it, come back a day later and you remembered right where I was at. Doesn't happen that way anymore. Also, if I watched all of a show, I would mark it as liked. Then when I was scrolling through the content person's list of videos, I could tell what I watched

I want to like it, but there are a couple prohibitive items that keep pushing me back to youtube. 1. Picture in picture on android does not seem to be an option or is not working properly. 2. If I join a livestream late then I get kicked out when the livestream ends, regardless of how far behind I am, and then I am unable to play it for a little while.

Thank you for adding playlists and watch later to the library tab. Increased to 5 stars! The interface for the feature is a little clunky in the response time atm and I expect a few bugs will probably need to be crushed, but this is the best thing to see. Great job on delivering this. Please note: that playlists should be first added is the first in order, not last added is the first in order. It would also help to add the ability to reorganize the list after it is made.

I've watched my favorite free speech supporters on Rumble for a while now. I got a phone with larger memory so now I can download the app. It's quite a bit clunkier than YouTube and even Odysee. The app will notify you that you have replies to your comments but it won't go to the reply or to your comment. It also needs ability for direct feedback about the app itself. And not through email either. It also needs a not interested button. As well as a selected picture in picture.

Please fix casting from phones! It's just a blank screen on both of my TVs from my android (LG and Vizio). This is so annoying! The cast still works from my PC, just not the phone. EDIT: ty for fixing this, if this was in response to my review. It works now. Back to 5 stars. Free speech ftw: DOUBLE EDIT: nevermind it doesn't work again...sigh...back to 3 stars
