Does YouTube TV have a free trial? medium
The app description states you can 'cancel anytime.' However, one user review reported a misleading free trial experience where the offered 2-week trial and reduced first-month price ($14.99) were not honored, and they were instead charged $64.99 after only 3 days.

AI generated: Yes
- Google Play user reviews (12-20 preferred; may be smaller if source data is limited per app), September 2022 - March 2026
- Google Play ratings distribution
- App Store listing metadata
- Review samples are not statistically representative of all user sentiment
- High-engagement negative reviews can overrepresent complaints
- Claims labeled 'low confidence' are based on single-review observations only
- No real-world app testing was conducted
- Feature availability may vary by region, device, and app version
- The sample size for this app is only 5 reviews (all recent) and missing other stratified buckets, which increases the potential for bias in the analysis.

2★YouTube TV, You've got to get your commercial situation under control! what is with all of the commercials when the cost per month to use the platform is already sky high? I've been using YouTube TV now for at least a couple of years, perhaps more, and ever since then there has been an obvious increase in commercials. it is not uncommon to sit through 12 to 15 commercials, up to three or more times during one program. over three and a half minutes per session at times. Not impressed 😞

3★I like watching live sports, and other programs on y'all's app. Y'all's app doesn't glitch up too badly compared to Victory+, but it could use improvements. Especially when I'm watching volleyball on y'all's app, it gets annoying when a commercial comes on, while the game is still being played! Y'all should only play commercials during a timeout, or else nobody's going to pay attention to the commercial, when they're trying to focus on the game!

1★App works, its just entirely way to expensive. Also, the free trial they offered at the time I signed up was 2 weeks and $14.99 for the first month. When I went to manage subscription, it showed only 3 days left for free trial and would be charged $64.99 for the first month instead of the original promotional price. I cancelled imediately. I feel that is false advertising. Good thing i noticed it before i got charged. Check your membership before you get charged incorrect amount guys.

2★Whenever I am trying to watch a basketball game that is either delayed or recorded, I am suddenly taken to the beginning of the recording. It's happening incessantly now. I can't even get 2 min of gameplay in before it is jumping to the beginning. So frustrating. Especially during March Madness. You continue to up and up your price, placing a premium on your service, but cannot do the simple things like video quality and playback right. SMH

1★I've had no issues for, I think it's been a few years, when the price went up there was a bug with my billing and my YTTV account. So my billing was paid, but it wasn't recognized by my account and my account keeps asking me to sign up. It's been 18 days and counting since my YTTV has been inaccessible and they kept my money. All customer service tells me is that it's been "escalated to our engineers." I've asked them for a refund and I get no answer. And I'm at max characters for this review.
