Great service, okay app
This is a good app, but it’s held back by its lack of Picture in Picture support. I would love to be able to text a friend without interrupting WAN show.
United StatesDecent app but needs Picture in Picture mode
App seems to work well however it is extremely limiting that it doesn’t allow playing when the screen is locked nor does it allow Picture in Picture mode. For a video streaming app those for me are absolutely necessary features.
United StatesAndroid Bias
I’ve used this app on both iOS and Android, and I have a couple of things to say. While I love supporting my favorite tech tip providers, the iOS app is lacking in many features that are already available on Android and Web. For one, where is my Picture in Picture?? I use Picture in Picture in YouTube all the time, but I absolutely hate not having it on iOS. This is absolutely something that can be implemented (as it’s already on the Android app and Web), and even works when I use the web version on IOS. I’d also like some of the search filtering and sorting features that you get on web on the app. Aside from those things, I find the UI feels a bit more akin to the android UI style (which doesn’t bother me a ton, I just wish that it looked a bit more continuous with the iOS design language). While I do love how easy this app is to use and how fast and snappy it is, I really am missing Picture in Picture. Hopefully this can get added soon.
United StatesGreat but please add background playback!
Overall the UI is clean and the app is easy to use. It is a little rough around the edges but it’s functional. Just missing some key features like background playback.
United StatesNo AirPlay is a dealbreaker
No AirPlay, no subscription. I consume nearly all of my YouTube content on my TV, so not being able to watch Floatplane content on my TV is a complete and total deal breaker for me. This combined with all of the missing features mentioned in other reviews is extremely disappointing, as a lot of the content on Floatplane looks really interesting and I’d like to subscribe. AirPlay, Picture in Picture, background play, etc are essential features whose absence enormously harm the usability of the app. As a developer I understand that iOS development (and development in general) can be challenging, but releasing without support for some of the most basic features on each platform you’re releasing on is borderline unacceptable. This is especially true when the lack of these basic features results in a drastic reduction in quality of life when using the app. I’ll still hold out hope that these issues will be addressed at some point, but the fact that the app has existed for so long without them makes me more cautious than optimistic. If these issues get addressed, the next major thing I would absolutely love is a native Apple TV app.
United StatesJust missing one thing
The app is amazing, but it would be really awesome to be able to play a video with my screen locked. That is my only complaint! I liked listening to the WAN show while at work when I had YouTube Premium
United StatesGreat app!… But
The app is great it allows me to support my favorite creators. But the notifications don’t appear until you open the app. This has caused me to miss all of the streams my channels host And it’s driving me crazy because I signed up specifically for the streams and I don’t have a way to know when they happen.
