Reviews for Rumble: Videos & Livestreams

Update 6 months later trying out again. In addition to ads right at the start I'm getting ads every 7 minutes. Plus the ads the content creators read during the show. It's way way way too much! More than youtube or twitch, which were already bad. Multiple ads within the first second of video. At least give me a minute to decide if i want to watch it. As it is now i just close it and go to something else.

I want to love this app and give it 5 stars, but whenever I pause a video, it randomly resumes playing without me clicking play. I can't technically keep any video pause cuz eventually it's going to start playing. And it's driving me nuts, I'm on the phone and then my video starts playing 🙄🙄 I think this app is possessed. I had to uninstall it because it would just start playing even though I have the app completely closed.

Hot garbage! I was bombarded by a dozen ads and upsell attempts before I got to my first video and then all I could see was the rumble icon. Uninstalling in less than five minutes. Response: I didn't say I wanted no ads, but a dozen ads, plus multiple upgrade upsell requests before I see a single video (that didn't even work) is too much! That's not revenue, that's greed and not caring about your customers!

Horrible Garbage. I don't know what happened, but this suddenly started using tons of resources, draining battery, and crashing all the time. The background play no longer works as it stops 10 seconds after locking the screen, every single time. There have been numerous times where a video would play sound even though the app was closed and force-closed requiring a phone restart to clear.

Things like "Top live categories" should be at the top, and MUCH smaller. like buttons with various categories instead. you could also have a LOT more categories, while taking up less space, and being much more pleasing to look at. Also- are there any anti theft features on there? I'm seeing a lot of stolen videos from various yt creators. Also, seeing tons of lives immediately after opening the app is a bit jarring. They could be in a separate page from home, and in a category of their own.

Horrible viewing experiences now. You used to run flawlessly, but now there are so many ads, that freeze, stop, buffer, that the listening experience is ruined. I'll find another avenue to view the videos I enjoy watching. 😳🙄🤔 P.S. and because of how intrusive the ads are, in addition to being annoying, I would not purchase any of what they are pushing! 💥💣💥

get it together. I've been paying for a few years now. Today alone have dealt w your app glitching 3 times forcing app closure. and install a "play all" button on content creator pages if you cant get you playlist more user friendly. I'm a huge advocate of free speech so I stick around. But if a new platform could do the same better.... well I'd rather spend my money there at this point.

If you pause a live show, you can't watch the end, which is extremely frustrating. The app sends you to a different show and if you go through the ridiculously confusing process of finding the show you were watching, it says the show ended and it won't load it again. I hate YouTube policies, but their platform is 100% better.

it's OK but when scrolling through the video feed. The previews continuously plays whilst another preview starts playing. And when open a video the preview videos are still playing in the background while you're watching a video you've opened up. Plus pushing ads constantly isn't going to help you get more users. I registered an account because I thought this social network seemed promising. But it's letting me down.

It's a glitchy mess and i think it's been over a year since they updated it. Terrible app. They are going to need to step up their game a lot of they want a prayet at competing with youtube. RESPONSE TO DEVELOPERS Well, it was so minor, it went unnoticed. Can't upload videos (ever lasting finalization and crashing), can't delete videos, categories are displayed randomly and i could go on.

Needs better support for podcast style listening. On Spotify I can listen to a 2 hour long podcast in an area with almost no cell coverage and no WIFI, and it is seamless. On Rumble, it stops the playback until I manually play it again. Please add support for downloading the audio/video for offline playback. Otherwise the app has improved greatly!

For the most part, I'd say this app is great. ads exist but aren't too bad. sometimes can't skip them though, not sure if that's intentional. the e-mail verification seems pretty buggy right now, too. I've had three links sent to my email over the corse of about a month now. but for some reason, it won't stick. Hopefully, that'll be fixed soon. Also, lives sometimes still play even if the app is closed! However, while there are bugs, most of my experience using this app has been very positive.

This app is suddenly using a lot of battery. it mostly worked well the last year and a half I've had it, but I guess a recent update isn't playing nice with my Pixel 4a; it loads slowly, navigating through the app is slow, live chats are slow, you can't really chat because of it. my phone is getting warm and losing battery faster now when listening to Rumble. the video and audio still play once you get it going so it's still usable, hence at least 3 stars.

Edit: Uninstalled app. I watched FOUR ads and then the video didn't play. I'm done. I really want to like Rumble, but I'm a brand new user trying to see what's on here, and the first thing I get slammed with is 2 ads before viewing my very first video. Then when I immediately don't like the video selected and pick another one, only to get slammed with 2 more ads. Then I close the app because there was nothing of value to hold me.

Great replacement for youtube, but the app still needs a lot of work. Premium completely broke playlists. The queue gets stuck and won't play the next video when the freemium timer runs out. There's also no good way to organize playlists into chronological order. There's also a bug that opens the same video twice, so you get an "echo" and doesn't go away until you close and Reopen the app twice. All these need to be fixed before this becomes a functionally usable app.

One of the worst apps I have ever used. I have been trying for years and all of the same issues persist. constant crashing, freezing, failing to load, getting kicked out of my account. When any of these happen it never saves where you were in the video you were watching. Terrible search feature. I can find no redeeming features about it at all. Some people I follow only post on Rumble exclusively and I get so annoyed I will miss their content for months at a time because of the frustration.

I love the app, but I keep having problems with it now suddenly. It no longer plays when I am using other apps. Picture in picture doesn't work. It just closes & then restarts when I open it again. I have to use my phone to clear patient call lights, so I can't listen to Rumble while I work anymore. Please fix this asap! Otherwise, great app. < doing it again 😕

This app does not like to work with Android Auto. Occasionally it will let sound through, but most of the time I plays the video with no sound. I know it's not my connection as Spotify works just fine. The ads, while insufferably bad, used to be just 2 per video, and now I get 2 ads every 7 or so minutes. Starting to feel like watching YouTube.

Great app except for the frequent crashes and numerous and repetitive ads. The app crashes often, at random times while watching videos and sometimes during the ads. Because of this problem, I'm forced to watch even more ads when I try to play the video again. It's super annoying and frustrating. There's also no way to block spammers and trolls in the live chat, so when they spam messages, there's no way not to see their nonsense. I hope these issues get fixed soon.

I love the no ads, i like it when you're watching, you can minimize it into a small windows, but it won't allow you to minimize it after a live show ended. it closes it each time which is very annoying. also they need to fix the green bar at the bottom of the video if you've watched it or not. sometimes they pop when I haven't watched it and sometimes they don't show up at all. Just wish these things would get fixed and ill make this 5 stars
