Ratings and reviews

The newest update is abysmal. The videos skip, pause, and exit randomly. Swiping down now plays a new video instead of minimizing your current one. Speaking of minimizing a video, if you do manage to do it, it completely dissappears. Sometimes, the video pauses, and you just can't play it, so you have to restart the whole app. But it doesn't remember where you are at in the video, so you have to rewatch cause it won't let you skip. This is easily one of the worst updates in my 10+ years on here.

The newest update broke the video player. If you try to adjust the time for any reason, the player breaks. If you minimize the video, the player breaks. If you switch to a different app, the player breaks. I've also had the player break randomly on its own. Even shorts don't work! Resetting doesn’t fix it. Also, they replaced the old video minimizer with a new video window pop up thing, but half the time it doesn't even register when you click on it to re-examine the video or to close the video.

New update is horrible! Please fix it! Every time you pause a video, try skipping, or is interrupted by a call or something, it's stuck and won't continue playing the video. Also, when you minimize the video, it disappears and you can't find it. The speed button doesn't work and it keeps glitching and then freezes out and the app closes down. Fix it!!!
