The app is ALMOST perfect now that Google Cast functionality was implemented, but it is still missing a critical feature prominent in all other media-streaming apps (Youtube, Plex, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc).
After you’ve started the desired show/episode, and after using the Google Cast button to cast it to a TV, it SHOULD allow you to navigate backward in the app WITHOUT stopping Google Cast playback. In other words, I want to be able to browse for other content near the end of a video I am currently casting, or perhaps at another point in the video where I feel I’ve gotten my desired amount of information, and not have the casting stop.
See how the other apps listed above behave for inspiration (for example, Plex moves the playback controls to a small section on the bottom of the app and allows you to navigate around using the 90% of available screen space above, or Youtube which uses the PIP (picture in picture) functionality of Android to move the playing video into a small PIP window). I don’t specifically care if you use one of those implementations or something of your own imagination, only that the described functionality is provided.
Otherwise, the app is great, and for such a new app it deserves praise for stability and the features that already exist.
Glad my issue got fixed, but I would like a queue for podcasting. Currently I can listen to hour one and two consecutively, but the have to go back to the app for any other shows. I listen to all the shows during my hands-on job and don’t have time to switch back and forth. So I’ll continue to download off the main site and wait to use the app.
It’s great! I mean, really, it’s a TYT app and it does work – everything! Username, member content, podcast, live streams, everything! – and it looks nice, navigation is simple – I love it! In the future Chromecast support / an Android TV app might be nice, but other than that, perfect!
Tried double tapping the now playing on the podcasting. Led to a crash. Also could I cancel my TYT membership and just get a TYT plus membership for half price? Oh and my username show’s up as “null”.
Both Podcasting and Video playback work on my Samsung tablet
Was it supposed to have a member chat section?
On my Blackberry Z10 (“Sideloaded”) Video works (presumably the app is using the installed “SuperTube” App for this) but but podcasting does not work (I don’t know what app it’s expecting to use for that)

It doesn’t know you usernames, it says “hi null”
