VidAngel Reviews

I expected this to make watching shows with the kids around a lot less stressful, and for the most part it does help filter out stuff I don’t want them seeing. That said, a few shows still have moments that feel a little awkward, so it’s not quite as seamless as I hoped. Still useful, just something I keep an eye on.

The service itself was fine, but the billing details really weren’t clear. I ended up getting charged before I fully understood what plan I was even on?? I just wish that part had been explained better upfront.

I was hoping I could fine-tune what actually gets filtered, but the settings felt bare-bones. Some of it is just like, either block everything or let everything through, no real middle ground. So yeah, I still ended up having to stop watching certain stuff, which was annoying and disappointing.

I was able to get it canceled in the end, but it definitely took me a while to get everything sorted out. Anyway... at least it’s done now, but the process could’ve been quicker...

It’s good overall, but it does feel like there are a few bits missing. My main frustration is that it’s not always clear who actually owns what, so when something needs fixing or following up on, it can feel a bit like everyone’s passing it around. Decent experience, but that part could definitely be clearer.

I felt like it was too expensive for what it actually does. It’s not terrible or anything, but for the price, I expected a lot more

I really do like the filters when everything is working, which makes it even more frustrating. The smart TV app freezes often and sometimes loses my place, so I end up having to find where I left off again. I still use it, but I kind of regret expecting it to be smoother than it is

I tried vidangel during the free trial, and at first it seemed decent. Setup was simple enough, and I did like being able to skip certain parts of shows without much hassle. But the more I used it, the more I started to feel a little unsure about it. The app felt clunky here and there, and a couple of the filters didn’t work quite the way I expected, which made me question how reliable it really is. It’s not terrible by any means, but after the trial I don’t feel confident enough to pay for it yet...

I reached out to tech support hoping they could sort it out, but it never actually got fixed. They kept going back and forth with me, and in the end it was still the same problem

I don’t know, I just don’t feel super comfortable trusting this site yet haha. Something about it makes me a little hesitant, so I’d probably be careful using it.

I signed up thinking I’d have plenty to watch, but I’ll admit I was mainly focused on a handful of movies and shows I already had in mind. Unfortunately, almost every title I searched for wasn’t available. The filtering feature is actually a nice idea, and I can see it being useful, but it didn’t really matter much when the specific stuff I wanted just wasn’t there. I ended up canceling quickly.

I like the app overall and it works well most of the time, but the audio going out of sync can get annoying. It really takes away from the experience, especially when it happens more than once. I’m hoping this gets fixed soon, some kind of compensation or credit would feel fair for the inconvenience

I got VidAngel hoping it would make watching movies with my kids a lot easier, but it was hit or miss. Some of the filters worked fine, but then other things still slipped through, and the settings weren’t always as clear as I expected. I ended up spending more time double-checking everything than actually relaxing and watching. By the end of it, I just felt mentally drained, which is the opposite of what I wanted from something that’s supposed to make family movie nights simpler. It just wasn’t a good fit for us.

I got the hang of vidangel quickly, honestly. The filters are straightforward and it’s not hard to find what I want to watch. That said, the app can feel a little clunky sometimes, and I’ve had to reconnect things more than once, which gets annoying. Overall it does what I need it to do, I just wish it felt a bit more polished because then it would be...

The weird part is, the product itself seems fine, but when I needed help, the support options felt limited. It’s not a huge deal, but I did expect a little more guidance or easier ways to get answers

I’m just trying to cast to my TV, but it keeps disconnecting over and over. It’s frustrating because I can’t really watch anything without it cutting out.

vidangel works well overall, but I have to say their customer support left me waiting longer than I expected. They did help once someone finally got back to me, but when you need a quick fix, it kind of feels like they’re not in much of a hurry to respond

I wanted to like it but the app kept freezing on me and randomly sending me back to the login screen... super annoying. Half the time my filters wouldn’t save either, and casting was a mess. I got tired of having to restart it every time I tried to watch a movie. not worth the hassle on my phone

I gave VidAngel a try, and to be fair, I can see how it might be really useful once everything is set up right. But getting the filters set up was more confusing than I expected. There were a lot of steps, and even after going through them, I still wasn’t totally sure what was actually being blocked. Maybe I just needed more time with it, but I got frustrated quickly and ended up giving up.

VidAngel used to be way more reliable for me, but lately it’s been almost unusable. Half the time when I try to log in, I either get a “something went wrong” message or it just sits there loading forever. And if I do finally get in, the connection drops in the middle of watching and I have to restart everything. It’s extra frustrating because my internet works fine with every other app. I really liked using it before, but right now it’s just not worth the hassle.
