Nice...download the app, run the app = crash whole PlayBook. Restarting now. Thanks Vevo

Working fine for me.

Sounds like it works like the VEVO application for the my iPhone...

Seriously, VEVO (or whatever company develops applications on there behalf) do not know what they are doing...

I love the VEVO application, but on my iphone it's buggy no hell, please let it not be the same for the playbook...

I download & installed just fine. I managed to play several videos, and created a few playlists.

It froze while playing a video.

I restarted the App (& PlayBook) and now it stops at the VEVO splash screen.

I was prompted to update to v2.0 in App World. Did the update. It's still stopping at the splash screen.

What's the benefit over using the desktop website or full youtube for that matter?

 
 
Posted by Prey521 Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

I will almost always take a full featured app over its website counterpart. As long as the app has all the same features, I'll take it each and every time.

 
 
Posted by Vinster78 Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

So much better with the app....the most important things are the playlists you can create and the multitasking without using the browser.

Hopefully it doesn't have as much problems as it did on iOS. It was several month and like a dozen updates before it was actually working properly

meh looks nices but wont play any videos fer me. plays the ads great though

 
 
Posted by Darlaten Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Is this going to be available in Canada as well? I ask as we all know, at least the Canadians do, of just how a** backwards our laws when it comes to this sort of stuff.

 
 
Posted by CLTrujillo Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Yeah it works in Canada. I live in Toronto..just downloaded it..works greats for me. no lag or anything :D

 
 
Posted by sk8er_tor Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Working great for me too in Toronto. Video and audio quality are great!

"The item is not supported by your current device profile" :(

 
 
Posted by whobussyu Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

It's not supported by my device profile either.

Try a proxy server.

Worked great for a while. The App now freezes at the splash screen.

Nice!!! we still don't have an optimized vevo for honeycomb but playbook already has it.

 
 
Posted by ultra07 Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Works great here in Southern Illinois (South of Interstate 64, NOT South of Cook County!)

 
 
Posted by Douglasfx Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Well it says it is not supported for my device so i am starting to ask myself....what am I doing with a tablet that does not have good apps available, no skype, no IM apps available, no netflix, does not let me buy apps cause i live outside us and canada???? only thing i can do is to download free apps and visit crackberry 30 times a day to check if the new update that will bring everything that people need is already available which seems to be taking FOREVER!!!!! so i think my best bet is to sell my playbook and get the ipad cause i am tired of waiting, switching from iphone to blackberry was not the smartest decision.

 
 
Posted by SSaywell Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

What country you from? (as a dev and as someone that doesn't live in US/Canada I can tell you for sure that they support more that just US/Canada

plus give it time

 
 
Posted by Douglasfx Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

I am from the Dominican Republic and i never had problems buying apps from the apple app store

 
 
Posted by elokito Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

same here, and I'm on the same boat as you, currently checking for the dam updates and now theres a good app for the playbook and doesn't even work for us, at least they should've let us download and just ban some videos like they do on youtube.... nothing a vpn/proxy can't handle.

 
 
Posted by UnknownError507 Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

lol m8,

If an APP doesn't work that's not RIM fault or your device is Developer fault so in my opinion stop complaining and w8 for the developer to relies an Update on the App.

In other hands it works fine with no problem but the only thing i have it's the ads!! and also i hate it when some YouTube videos dont work on torch cause of this VEVO thing.

 
 
Posted by Douglasfx Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

ok so what about the fact that it doesn't even let me buy apps? all I hear is wait for this, wait for that and still nothing, how long are we supposed to wait?

 
 
Posted by Ojin Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

no support my country :-(

 
 
Posted by rgm Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

This does not work in my country. i am very use to this now. We in the caribbean are treated like we are from mars by North Americans. I can buy books from amazon with my credit card but still cant use my bb kindle app the purchase books with same credit card.

 
 
Posted by kemj Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

I second your frustration...

 
 
Posted by bartvduinkerken Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

cannot find it in the app store :(

 
 
Posted by JimmyBX Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

The Storm 2 is locked out. Not supported...smh

 
 
Posted by suzicat Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Read the title... it's for the PlayBook!

 
 
Posted by aris20 Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

No Support for Dominican Republic ! Maybe its just for USA and Canada ?

 
 
Posted by Douglasfx Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Tu has podido comprar alguna aplicación para tu playbook? no acepta mi tarjeta

 
 
Posted by elokito Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

i just use paypal and it works

 
 
Posted by kemj Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

I believe it's US-Mainland and Canada. I'm in Puerto Rico and it's not supported.

 
 
Posted by TaZ52083 Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Can't wait to get home and load this on my pb.

 
 
Posted by the_phenomenon Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

No Support for the Netherlands as well. Properly this will only be available in the USA and Canada. This isn't the first app that is not supported by the device. A lot of features are not available over here (also phone).

 
 
Posted by Gquie Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Confirming it works in Canada. One thing I think they need to work on for the next release is to let us select the quality we want to stream at instead of the app autoselecting for us and switching from low to high qual whenever it wants to. The video always starts off as low qual and then jumps to high qual (not very smoothly might I add) and then during the video if you dont have enough bandwidth to support 720p streaming it boots u back down to 480 or whatever lower quality and the video blips and you lose a part of the video/song. Either way a fantastic start to a great app but definitely feels like it needs more work.

 
 
Posted by markproper Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

bloody amazing, well done app! we need more quality apps like this

 
 
Posted by catwoman66 Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Italy not listed either - ho hum I love my bb and pb but this is what puts people off these devices, in ratio italy is BB mad, go figure...Another loss for RIM, can't they see this??? *rant over* ;)

 
 
Posted by andrewmcwhirter Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Works AMAZING. Very fast and the quality is great. Much faster than the website, and creating your own playlists are awesome. Can't wait to get home and plug this in my big screen TV. Another score for media content on the Playbook!

 
 
Posted by TnTimberry Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

WOW! Works great! The streaming to HD tv ROCKS!!! I can watch Laura Belle Bundy on big screen!

 
 
Posted by yvpan1 Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

same here, no support for Australia..

 
 
Posted by chrissymckay Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Working fine in the UK, a great app and the playlist feature is fantastic.

 
 
Posted by walnuts1024 Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Nice work VEVO. Works great multiple vids played so far with no issue.

 
 
Posted by jamesbyjr Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

I have had the VEVO link saved on my Playbook since April! This seems to be an unnecessary app!!! I think I will continue clicking on the link to go to VEVO. The Playbook is not like the iPad that needs apps for everything to fully function because it has Adobe flash... Please correct me if I am wrong, or if I am missing something here!!!

 
 
Posted by Dezz01 Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

I am loving this app!!!! I love the HD videos!!!! Setting up my playlist now. :)

 
 
Posted by LewLew23 Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Downloaded it. I think it's a great app. My only issue which someone said before is that it jumps in and out of 720p so your eyes are just like "whaaat?!" But the videos play nice. And I like the interface too.

 
 
Posted by jwn66 Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Works fine.

 
 
Posted by garm Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Not working for me. Downloads good, can choose what i want to watch; but then I get a black screen.

 
 
Posted by garm Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Nevermind, reboot solved the issue

 
 
Posted by npunk42 Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Is this the way we're going? Games and multimedia? I appreciate every step forward the playbook developers make. But isnt this arena a bit crowded? By folks who dont aspire to ANYTHING else? The casual user market is already glutted with game machines and multimedia tablets. Doesnt the playbook have other things to do? Things other than waste time. Couldnt the playbook separate from the kiddie pack and actually make your daily routine a little better, easier, fuller? I am a business owner, I use the playbook all the time now. Its a valuable tool for me and my business. Im also a musician so I already know the value of diversion, I've been diverting myself professionally since I was fifteen years old. Im a bit frustrated by the great strides being made into an already well supplied market, and tiny steps being made to get the things that shipped with the playbook to work properly. As I read this over it occurs to me that this isnt the place for a rant, but there it is anyway. To end on a positive note, yay! We get to watch Shakira shake it on a 7" tablet now, even though we have been watching her for years on our 50" televisions, yay!

 
 
Posted by timmartin Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Only for the US, Canada and UK - I am in Ireland, so no luck Paddy's (or should I say Paddy, as I am probably the only one with a Playbook!)

 
 
Posted by robtanz Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

already updated to version 2.0

 
 
Posted by PredatorGanaz Monday, Aug 08, 2011 292 days ago

Ouuchh no love for other country.

 
 
Posted by spoettel Tuesday, Aug 09, 2011 292 days ago

I spent a lot of money for the Playbook and now I'll be always the idiot because I live outside the US.
Here in Germany I can't use Blackberry News App not Poynt for Blackberry and now the same for VEVO!

I had it how you (RIM and App Developers) handle with the customers!!!
With this policy you will never get a chance on the market outside of the US!!!

Please change your mind and support all countries!

 
 
Posted by iibinice Tuesday, Aug 09, 2011 292 days ago

heyy, me too !!!
i'm one of the first pb users in Thailand, and been waiting for it since last year, expected a lot out of it, but honestly, i wasnt expected that i cant use my pb to the full capacity! apps arent available since i'm not in the US !? thats &*$%UKD@#($*#) ... gosh!!, i dont have a good word choice to express my feelings :'(

 
 
Posted by reden82734 Tuesday, Aug 09, 2011 292 days ago

AWESOME APP! Created a playlist...connected PB to a external speakers...placed PB on front of my treadmill....jogged away! Beats just listening to music. App worked great.

 
 
Posted by Crackberrykills Tuesday, Aug 09, 2011 292 days ago

Nice application. I love that there was an update already. Issues being worked on, and then updates to try to solve said issues, is always a good thing. Keep it up.

 
 
Posted by geraham Tuesday, Aug 09, 2011 292 days ago

its not available for Indonesia yet....

 
 
Posted by MLE724 Tuesday, Aug 09, 2011 292 days ago

Works great, excellent video quality, great UI. No lag, no freezing.
Thanks Vevo!

 
 
Posted by Kingkracker Tuesday, Aug 09, 2011 292 days ago

Very slick. Watching videos via HDMI on my Sony No Baloney. Decent selection of music too-

 
 
Posted by iibinice Tuesday, Aug 09, 2011 292 days ago

i cant download dozens of apps because i am currently live in Thailand !??
since playbook is now all over the world, why cant all apps are available for the pb users all over the world too?
anyone thinks it is kinda bias here? :'(

 
 
Posted by craigs Tuesday, Aug 09, 2011 291 days ago

Hello , is anybody having trouble opening this app after the first time. I downloaded the app last night and it worked perfectly. This morning I opened the app again and it would not load completely. So I uninstalled and reinstalled it again. Worked great now I just tried to open it again and it just opens with the black screen with a few words in the centre. It does not completely open and show the menus or pictures of the artists. Any ideas how aI can correct this?
