Great content on the platform, but there are many streaming issues. Constant buffering, audio/video not in sync most of the time, the inability to start a live program from the beginning or anywhere between the beginning and the live feed. I do love the ability to play videos without having to stay in that screen. It definitely appeals to those of us who are always multitasking in other apps and windows. Please fix the streaming issues and I will gladly come back to change my review to 5 stars!

For this app platform being fairly new I have yet to find a reason not to like it. Recently the option to live stream has even been added and more functions are being added all the time. I just love that I can find content from other people I like to follow, I can post my own content, make money if I want, and all while not be censored! Great app!!! ☆☆☆☆☆

Wow, this is horrible to watch the show I paid for on. Video and voice keeps going out of sync. No 15 or 30 second advance/rewind feature either. I'm sorry but if the screen/voice sync issue isn't fixed soon I'm demanding a refund. There is no reason for it to keep going out of sync, step up your game!

I love the fact that there is another video platform besides YouTube but there are constantly audio/video glitches. From the audio not being synced to the video, to the video glitching and pausing constantly throughout an entire video. Besides that it's a good app but those issues can make the videos you want to watch simply unbearable to watch.

This app doesn't get any better with any update. No matter what show you're trying to find, it's never where it belongs. Nothing is in order. Not on the phone or TV. When you try to find live shows, they're always in some random place, never on the actual channel you're looking for. There's no actual way to pick the channels you want to always be where you want them. As if nobody actually uses the app at Rumble/Locals.

For the most part it is good. But anytime I have a video over 60 seconds it says it can't upload. The messaging option which is great sometimes does not work. The app I have had to reinstall it a few times because it stops working. For a thing that I pay for not very good. If it was free then be better I guess. Overall I love the group I am in and that is why I deal with the other stuff.

The app runs slightly better than the desktop site from my experience, has a fairly conventional and easy to use interface and it's nice being able to listen to videos with my phones screen off. Over all if you like locals as a platform the app is pretty handy. Edit: unfortunately I have to change my review due to one issue that keeps happening. The app if left open with your screen locked will randomly start playing videos in your pocket. That's completely unacceptable.

At the moment I use this app as a consumer rather than a content creator, though that is the goal eventually. so far I love their stance for freedom and the app is functional. however, it does have some areas of needed growth. Large streams tend to get severely buffered with audio falling out of sync. To be fair, they are growing a lot and have experienced a huge influx of traffic so it's hard to keep up. My score is 3 out of 5 now, I will raise it as the app improves.

Loved the app! Free speech, great channels. Easy usability. Video play was always an issue. Had to fight it if I wasn't on wifi. I heard the update sucked so I held off, but they forced the update last night and I can see why people didn't like it. Can't find anything. One wrong swipe and you're in somewhere random. Extra tabs. It reset my settings, so I had to figure out the extra steps to reset them. If video play isn't any better, not sure if I'll keep it.

I support this mobile app because I support the platform in principle (free speech without big tech censorship). That said, the video streaming/compression algorithm is horrible. This app burned through 3.6Gb of mobile data in less than 75 minutes, listening to a video with the screen off. A significant ehancement would entail allowing the end user to select bitrate/video quality. Another would be to automatically lower bitrate to low quality when the end user's device screen is turned off.
