Service great but app needs update badly!

The service has been great for me, but TubeBuddy needs a serious update. Now after working with TubeBuddy for a long time, now it’s not loading at all. It’s always buffering and has a hard time updating results. I’m will to change the stars on this review when TubeBuddy is updated successfully.

Tired of apps with no basic accessibility

As a blind entrepreneur one of my biggest struggles is not even the basic business concepts but being forced to use tools that don’t have even the basic accessibility written in. Apple makes this so easy that people who put out software that is not accessible either paid some off shore company who takes short cuts or did not pay attention to Apple’s guidelines. I normally don’t write in depth software reviews but in 2022 this oversight is inexcusable. I could not even tell you how any of the functionality of TubeBuddy works because it is so badly written that even the first screen has no accessibility and is essentially dead on arrival. This may be a great app for the sighted but for someone who is trying to be more than what society labels the blind, I could not give it the low rating it deserves because the numbers don’t go that low.

Service is great, but app isn’t.

TubeBuddy has too many problems. The thumbnails get mixed up which video they go to, the tag explorer is super glitchy, the comments don’t load properly, the milestones show up in the wrong order, the subscribers don’t refresh, the view count shows up on the incorrect video, and sometimes attempting to share a video is impossible because it automatically closes the pop up after pressing share. Please update TubeBuddy to fit the quality of your service.

They haven’t updated TubeBuddy in 11 months and all the tools are incredibly glitchy. Especially copying tags. Come on. At this rate I will definitely not be renewing my subscription.

MISLEADING About Tag Explorer Limits

If you are dedicated and like to work hard, you will be extremely frustrated by the NOT MENTIONED Tag Explorer Limits. *When it comes to this app, “UNLIMITED” is NOT actually unlimited. To top it off the this app forums are just full of a bunch of excuses and finger pointing from the this app Staff. My confidence in this app went immediately to ZERO yesterday when TubeBuddy said I’d “exceeded” search limit in a 24-hour period, and I should try again later. Well I tried again the next day and apparently I was still past my “UNLIMITED” limit. It’s unfortunate that I can’t give it ZERO stars.

This App is Crappy

TubeBuddy never gives updated info about my channel, no matter how many times I refresh it! It gives some correct info, and some incorrect info. It glitches, freezes, and crashes. Honestly I don’t even think this qualifies to be called an app!

The worst part is I pay for their service, and yet their tools are very non user friendly. VidIQ, though more expensive, is a much easier experience, app, and service! this app needs to up their game or I’ll just cancel the service.

DON’T RECOMMEND!

First the data is incorrect in tube body. For instance, it does not show the correct number of views, it fails to capture the hashtags in the suggested designated areas, etc. Although it’s only $2.99 monthly- it’s not worth it to me because this info is literally FREE online and there are EXTREMELY limited tools available with PAID or non paid. Absolutely no difference!

I’m not seeing a difference in my subs

TubeBuddy was said too help u get more subscribers faster but I’m getting the same amount like 1 subscriber a day lol I was already getting that before I paid for this also it’s buggy it keeps saying I need too add certain stuff like tags in my description and tittle which I already did on all my videos and it keeps popping up that I didn’t so I can’t even see the real score

Completely busted.

I have had a ton of issues with the milestones section and the video section glitching to where it shows the thumbnails jumping around to different videos that they're not on. This is absolutely annoying, on top of that, now it shows I have only 52 subscribers when I have over 1,300. I'm about ready to just part my channel from it and delete the program for good.

Garbage

I upgraded to unlock features and it gives me a new and exciting error message locking me out of what I paid for. TubeBuddy is not optimized for iPad and is clunky. Can’t go into older videos at all. But all could be forgiven, except for taking my money for an upgrade and then not providing the services. That is straight up fraud. I never write reviews, but this time I had to. Listen to everyone saying they were ripped off, they are right.

Tag explorer

It says “free users are limited to 50 searches in a 24 hour period.” Both times I have used it (a week apart) I only searched about 10 and then it says I exceeded the limit of 50 searches. Can you fix this. It is cheating me out of finding good tags in a quick manner.

Also how do you track 24 hours because I would get the notification at 7pm. I come back 7pm or 8pm the next day and it still won’t let me search tags

Paid for nothing

I signed up for monthly mobile membership at $2.99 a month and didn’t get access to anything that was claimed. It would just send me to a screen to sign up for membership, I would click on it to be told that I already have membership. I still use the free portion in hopes the glitch gets fixed.

Acting weird all of sudden.

When I initially downloaded TubeBuddy it was good. However, a few months in it started to glitch. The milestones stopped loading accurately. This occurred for a few weeks, so I deleted TubeBuddy and reinstalled to attempt to fix the problem. That did not fix the problem. What it did was erased all of my milestones, no milestones are currently loading. I emailed support and they took multiple days to respond, only to tell me to delete TubeBuddy and reinstalled. I advised them that I’ve already tried that prior to contacting them. It took days for them to respond again, only to tell me that it is a bug that is causing the issue, and they are working on it. I’m completely aggravated with because I’ve got some milestones that I would’ve loved to document, but was unable to because it is not working properly. I really wish they would fix this soon.

Functionality

Functionality just isn’t there. For example, trying to search for suggested tags & copy them directly to the video. The tags aren’t the same suggestions as working from a pc. In addition, the copy button works maybe 1 time & then when trying to copy more, it does not. I would recommend also adding the score to tags via app.

Use to be great

Now milestones don’t work right and even worse, searching Key words for seo doesn’t work anymore. Pointless now. I’m giving it 3 stars because it was a 5 and now it’s a 1. Please fix and I’ll give it a 5 star.

Milestone Page error

App was working perfectly until few days ago i realized the bottom section of the milestones page is blank (white text on white background). Same thing with the tags explorer page, white text making it impossible to read.

I want to see all of my milestones

I currently got a new phone, and when I downloaded TubeBuddy again, it only shows me my newer milestones (ex. It shows when I got 75k views, but not when I got my first 500)
Please make it so we can see our older ones, TubeBuddy would be a perfect 5 stars if I could.

It’s a great app~But!

I’ve been using TubeBuddy for about three years, but in September it stopped working. I’ve used it to track my new viewers and each time I reach 5000 more it has been giving me the same date for each new month it’s been earned for the last three months. It’s not a big deal but it should be fixed!

Upcoming milestones not loading

TubeBuddy was working quite well when I first installed it, deleted it today cause it kept showing error message and now it won’t even load my upcoming milestones and the extension on google chrome keeps showing errors as well

Quick and easy overview of channel stats

Love TubeBuddy especially since I got it free with a this app upgrade. It gives me a quick overview of where I’m growing and where I’m not.

Great for getting a sense of your stats on the go.

Lost all my topic ideas

Since this app has rolled back the UI to the version previous to the disaster talked about below, it’s back to TubeBuddy that I use multiple times a day. The topic planner is back and all my topics have been restored. Everything works as it should and its my goto to see how videos are doing this app mobile used to be a good app. I’d check it multiple times a day. This latest update makes it pretty much unusable. First of all, the new updated deleted all the video topic ideas I had created on TubeBuddy . Months of work creating ideas are now gone. The subscriber count is so small I need my glasses to see it. The number of videos, views and subscribers needed for the next milestone are gone or don’t work. Toggling on hide comments with replies turns itself back off on its own. Looks like I’ll be saving $2.99 a month by dropping TubeBuddy. It’s a shame because I really liked the previous version.
