App freezes
While making a comment, the app freezes.
Love the content, hate the app
I’m a Rumble investor about a good amount of stock in the company. Love the content love the Concept. However, the app is terrible. The tiny icons to see what Shanley needs to have the option the strange things I think they were called runes one day but now they’re called text so I can read the name of the playlist I want to look at. But my biggest beef is the bandwidth needs. If I’m on my home network. Gigs up and down it pulls right up right away and remember where I left off. If I’m out on 5G on my cell phone and I have four or it takes sometimes 10 minutes to pick up where I left off if at all. It makes the experience with the app I have a 20 minute drive and I want to finish listening to a podcast. It takes 15 minutes just to get it to start. This is not an issue with YouTube. There are some good content on YouTube that I and I never have an issue with that app picking up where I left off. This may be a server issue, but the. App needs to be improved.
Garbage
You guys haven’t changed a thing , there is no algorithm at all . You only promote certain channels , you take too much money from tips. You’re lying about your viewcounts. All and that is why no one still knows that you exist . Promote some small channel instead of bannon , jones, bongino, garbage gaming . You have zero music ,
Zero dyi, zero of anything .
Zero dyi, zero of anything .
Unwanted app notifications
I have notifications off but the app still keeps sending stupid, garbage notifications. I don’t care about you Don Bs and other people I’m not subscribed to.
Ehhhh
"Cant use previous email"
useless
the app look good but useless, uploading videos take forever, waste of time, there is no way this app is better than youtube in loading videos
Could Be So Much More
I rarely use this app except for news related video links because the user experience is awful. Every video starts with a stupid ad nobody is even remotely interested in. If I touch the screen it goes to dark gray while the video continues until it gradually adjusts. I still have not found the close caption button. I hate YT, but Rumble is just awful.
Too many emails
Too many emails!!!
Me
I watch more commercials then programs some days. So times it’s a pain.
It’s bugged!
Please do something with the videos not working. It’s all blank and when i click to start the vids, they don’t start and everything is just not showing up or working!
Modernize…it’s 2026
App stalls out constantly
Greedy and Gaudy
This platform overflows with commercial interruptions… The greed is equal to or greater than YouTube. And worse still, the ads are sometimes disgusting, advertising things that should not be even considered in a public way.
Damned software
 very glitchy software. If playing a podcast, it will freeze and lock up as an ad plays, and even after allowing to add to play through, it doesn’t allow the podcast to resume. Even restarting the damn phone doesn’t stop this from happening. iPhone 14 iOS 20 something. Good luck.
Rumble Premium
I was happy to pay for Rumble Premium because I appreciated the uncensored content. Now many of the contributors want me to pay additional fees to see full videos. More than a little annoying when sound is turned off halfway through. Why? There has been no explanation. Then I click on content that is supposedly a day old only to find is is years old! I will not be renewing my subscription.
App problems
Constantly freezing love the product hate the app!
Adjustments
Please adjust rewind & fast forward, slow it down, smaller jerky jerky jumps. TY
Been glitchy for years.
Technical issues. Playback during live sometimes crashes and never loads wherever selected in the timeframe. You will sometimes wind up minutes behind a livestream. Will censor you without telling you.
Not for me
This app would really be awesome but what I don’t like about it every time they have an update they sign you out and you have to go through the process of signing back in every single time they update the app. I’m not doing it.
Why allow podcasters to pit partial shows
I have been a loyal customer of Rumble for years. I have enjoyed this platform tremendously. I do not know what happened in the last few months, but many podcasters are only showing partial shows on Rumble. They are directing us to go to another site(buy me a coffee /Telegram) to finish the show you started watching. I feel Rumble shouldn’t allow this. I know Rumble isn’t promoting this directly, but by allowing it you indirectly promote it. If podcasters wish to charge a fee to watch their programs, they have all the right to do so. But it’s wring to allow them to put partial shows then stop in the middle.
Bombardment
There are so many ads it’s unpleasant to listen not to mention you are not user friendly. Rumble is a chore to use.
Constantly buffering
This app used to be really good, but now it just buffers mostly in the midmorning to later afternoon. Seems like they need to update their servers. It's very frustrating.
