Dailymotion Video App 12+

Great way to experience DM

I do love Daily Motion in general because every time I really want to watch something I can’t find anywhere else, I almost always find it on DM. I used to be able to cast to Chromecast from the browser UI but recently found that wasn’t the case, and there were some weird ad/commercial glitches. I was glad to find there was an app and the app is many times better and easier to use AND the chromecast is back! I also love (on both, I think) the super easy scrubbing bar used to fast forward/rewind/find your place in a video. There are also loads less ads in general on the app. The only issue is my “Recently Watched” list consistently displays that I haven’t yet watched anything even though I’ve watched many episodes of my show since installing the app a few days ago. The search also leaves a little to be desired and it’s not always easy to find what I want. I wish I could sort videos of those I follow alphabetically instead of just how recently they uploaded. All said, I’m super pleased with the app and will never use the browser again. Well done!

Still won’t work

Update: It’s been a while since I wrote this original review, which was the only thing that got the developers’ attention. After finally contacting me back, they assured me they were working on the problem. However, it’s been at least a week more, probably longer, and still the issue persists. I’ve heard nothing from the developer again now, and none of the devices in my house will work with the download feature now. That’s iPad minis and iPad Pro 10.5” all freeze on trying to use the download feature. It’s very frustrating, so I’m dropping another star.

Edited original review: For longer than two weeks, I haven’t been able to use this app, because if I download something to watch and tap it to play, it just freezes everything and the app has to be shut down. The date, time, battery, and wifi symbols disappear from the top of the screen, and the app freezes and you can’t load the video, or click on anything else in the app. I’ve tried everything. Deleting the app, turning the iPad off and on again, hard powering off, messing with the settings, deleting all recently updated apps, and even updating my iPad; but nothing works. I contacted Support and never heard back. I’m using an iPad Pro 10.5” with iOS 15.4. Please fix this! I don’t want to not like this app.

App issues

So in all reality this isn’t a bad app I love it I use it to find all the shows I want to watch I prefer it better then the website .. but maybe it’s just today I have to delete the app , redownload it , open and close the app because Im trying to find a show that I was watching n now nothing is loading up when I’m searching its saying they don’t have the show , but when I search it on google it brings me right to the app or the website so then it shows me you do have the show it’s jus when I try to search for it , its not working??? I really love this app n I don’t wanna have to get rid of it because it would be such an inconvenience knowing it’s helpful just not today .. please fix it
