Laggy, tiny UI, and throttled features
First Impressions on the new TubeBuddy update! First off, swiping up and down makes your phone lag like crazy. Secondly, It seems a little too overly complicated for what it is. For example, they’ve made the buttons, thumbnails, and text smaller so you have to be more mindful trying to click on things, thus killing the convenience of quickly wanting to check analytics or read comments. If you’re in a car bumping up and down, the last thing you want is a mobile app that has these characteristics. They’ve even changed their app icon to be smaller as if to signify the “theme” of the new update.
I’ve used this app for years and it was not like this. It started out being smooth, larger buttons, and easy to navigate. One day they decided to throttle about one third of all the features, which made me not want to use it. It’s sad to see such a great app go downhill. Just use YouTube studio now.
