About this app

The official YouTube Studio app is the best way for you to understand and connect with the people in your community using the device you always have with you. Use the app to:

- Get a quick overview of how your content and channel are performing with the new Channel Dashboard.
- Understand how your channel and different types of content are performing thanks to detailed Analytics. You can also see performance data for different types of content in the Analytics tab.
- Cultivate a deep relationship with your audience with the ability to sort and filter comments to find the most important conversations in your community.
- Make changes to the look and feel of your channel, and manage individual pieces of content by updating the information for individual videos, shorts, and livestreams.
- Start a business on YouTube by applying for the YouTube Partner Program so you can get access to monetization.

Ratings and reviews

Help Centre for YouTube Studio is horribly inconsistent. Multiple features mentioned in the articles are not present in the app itself. For example, to view hidden users, I have to select options in 'the left menu' which is not even present in the app. New comments are sometimes hidden until you clear the 'I haven't responded' filter. Customization options are also extremely limited. Only useful if you'd like to see slightly more detailed statistics.

Cannot see audience active time? Cannot change the duration of data? There are so many missed steps, it's amazing! Oh by the way, news flash: changing the appearance of the app does not change the quality of it. The same thing happens on the laptop as well. Certain parameters in the audience section are not linked to the duration that I select. Quite enraging. Purposeless updates. No improvement, only show. You know you can do BOTH, right?

Uploading videos is so unnecessarily tedious. When trying to select the video I wish to upload, the app completely ignores the file names of the videos and only shows the video length. I have to open each and preview it to make sure it's the right one. Even after the upload, the title doesn't update to the name of the file like in the Studio website. Another feature I would recommend is to allow other apps (such as Google Files) to share videos to the YouTube studio app which would upload it.

What’s new

• A newly designed Dashboard that lets you see your most important performance data.
• Automatic checks will screen your video for any copyright violation or monetization issues before you upload.
• Apply for the YouTube Partner Program to grow your business.
