1. [R8] YouTube 5/5 · US Its just amazing: Its just amazing with all content and others its not just videos there could be games, editing, even other types like youtube tv and regular also even music on seperate apps
2. [R29] YouTube 5/5 · US Thank you!: Ok so YouTube I wanna thank you for getting me through some very difficult times with mental illness, the videos I watch always are entertaining and again can take your mind off more serious things…
3. [R63] Facebook 3/5 · US Too many commercials: I had always enjoy seeing the posts of my friends. I rarely see them anymore. I have 200 friends and see maybe a handful. All I see are commercials. False advertising companies of the same thing repeating over and over again. A lot of scamming
4. [R81] Facebook 3/5 · US Great App but…: I do love Facebook but I have to say lately the ads are getting ridiculous. I get that with ads is how you can make it free but literally ever other post is an ad. I don’t even see friends stuff much anymore. It’s frustrating
5. [R4] YouTube 1/5 · US Application keeps crashing: Noticed about 2 days ago the app started crashing again and again. Only fix I have found is uninstalling and re-installing the application.
6. [R7] YouTube 2/5 · US Keeps crashing: Why does it keep crashing every time I open it? I have to uninstall the app and keep reinstalling it. I’ve had to do it at least 20 times in the past three days.
7. [R67] Facebook 1/5 · US Ridiculous: Can’t get half the stuff to load and people hacking accounts left and right
8. [R72] Facebook 3/5 · US Problems: I have to go in and out of Facebook to be able to open responses. It gets old I get very irritated with the adds at the bottom of posts! If you hit them by accident you get messages. These need to be removed!
9. [R10] YouTube 1/5 · US YouTube crashes: YouTube crashes immediately upon opening. Deleting and reinstalling the app only resolves the issue temporarily for a few hours before the crashing recurs. Environment: OS: iOS 18.7, App Version: YouTube 21.26.4
10. [R58] YouTube 1/5 · US Crashes Constantly: The last few days the app has crashed every time I try to open it. I have to reinstall the entire app, which sucks because it deletes your preferences every time, so it’s just a pain. Deleting and reinstalling only works for a couple hours before you have to start over again. My phone is up to date and I clearly have the newest version of the app, so I know it’s not a client si
11. [R109] Facebook 1/5 · US Loading…: There is so much garbage on this app now, that my own picture albums won’t load on WiFi of 5G UB for OVER 20 MINUTES!!!! This whole platform is in a downward spiral
12. [R93] Facebook 3/5 · GB To many verification.: I can’t login my own account to my computer. Sometimes the code doesn’t working. Even If I know the password then it wants me to verify with phone. Sometimes it’s show a QR code screen. What if I visit new place and I really need to login my account but my phone left home? What should I do. Please fix this.
13. [R18] YouTube 3/5 · US Too many ads: WAY too many ads for one video, especially to the longer videos like every 5 minutes there’s an add and the tiny ad box that appears in the corner when you skip one is just taking away from the experience of watching. It’s getting tiring but overall, I love the app and just see the ads as a little too excessive.
14. [R21] YouTube 3/5 · US Fix your app: YouTube isn’t terrible but I have some complaints 1. Too many adds 2. Bring back the dislike button 3. Lower premium prices 4. Work on moderation I have seen videos and especially adds that should not be on YouTube.
15. [R79] Facebook 2/5 · US Sucks: Too much advertising and too many fake stories! Gone down hill.
16. [R88] Facebook 1/5 · US Ads!!!: Ads in middle of a reel is very disrespectfull to user’s time its 1/5
17. [R31] YouTube 2/5 · US Fix your bugs!: This app can be so terrible at times. I was trying to update my YouTube page through the app. Started at like 630pm last night. Gave up cause a "failed to update" message kept popping up every time I submitted what I wanted as a banner. I tried again the next day and the same thing kept happening until I chose to go online. What's the point of the app if I still have to go online
18. [R52] YouTube 1/5 · US Recently having trouble: So I have been using the app for YEARS and has been great, but recently when I open the app the app closes immediately. I have deleted and downloaded twice now and it works for like a day and the back to the same problem
19. [R94] Facebook 1/5 · US I have a big issue or a problem, but not anyone can help me for fix my problem like so bad for a F b: Always bad a conversation with a Facebook technology not anyone can fix my problem
20. [R97] Facebook 1/5 · US Facebook has gone downhill: Facebook has gone downhill. I don’t understand what’s going on there. I have tried to get my account unsuspended. I tried to get a hearing. Let me I don’t know what I have done wrong and that is the truth and nobody will tell me nothing. They just suspended my account for no reason. That I know of I have said nothing I just re-share stuff and I don’t know if that’s what
