You guys need to fix your app. The miniplayer is horrible. It takes up damn near half of the screen. The old miniplayer was great! I don't know why it was changed when there was no problem in the first play. Now with this newest update, while a video is in miniplayer I can't scroll anything. The entire screen is frozen and the only thing I can control is the miniplayer. And the new TikTok feature is not meant for full-length videos. Shorts yes but videos no. Stop acting like your TikTok.

Why is the touch radius of the miniplayer taking up almost half of the screen. All the time now, I touch the top of the screen and expect to go to the settings, only for me to go back to the video that was playing in the miniplayer. This has led me to shut down the app more often than not, and sometimes I scroll down to search for videos, and then the player gets swiped off the screen even when my finger is nowhere near. And it's not a problem with my phone, since every other works totally fine

As I can't write a review for the TV app I have on my Vizio TV, it's going here. A week or two ago, they decided to remove the feature of all your subscribed channels sorted alphabetically. Now it's sorted by date subscribed with no way to change it back. It makes zero sense, and is extremely frustrating to deal with when I'm subbed to tons of channels. I even pay for premium. Someone needs to change it back.
