What users are saying

1. Besides denying the ability to like/love videos (no idea where they comes from unless the maker denies it, which makes no sense), you are unable to select which accounts' video posts appear in Notifications.

2. Also I would like to see more options for playback, including video speed, tap to skip forward, play as audio/in the background, and an overall smoother picture in picture experience.The website is unbeatable.

3. Does not play videos in the background (eg: when the phone lock screen is activated or when another app has focus).

4. I dont want to give you my email, I dont want to give you my Facebook, I just want to watch quality content on your platform, and the app just freezes every time I try to skip the opening screen so it's entirely unusable.

5. It makes me sad because the desktop version of the website is so good and is such a good competitor to YouTube, but the app won't even function from the get-go and the mobile set is almost literally unusable.Ok Vimeo.

6. Also, the "Support" tab doesn't take me to the "Zen Desk", starts to but then just goes to the "Home" page.For a fifteen dollar rental there are sure some quality control issues that need to taken care of.

7. There's more problems like not having ACTUAL control over your content from the app and instead still needing to do x,y,z on the desktop.The video player itself needs some work.

8. Every time I go to another app and back to Vimeo, the video player starts the video from the beginning or even just goes back to the homepage.

9. Definitely an opportunity for an immediate adjustment.This app works to some extent, but to a large extent, it's useless, especially for videos broadcast live.

10. Thank you.The notification "Bell" at the top left of the app fails to load any of the videos I got notifications for on the app.

11. Same thing when opening the app in multi window while playing a video.
