Two Stars Is Me Being Nice
This app truly deserves a one star for the fact that it has the show I want. I only downloaded this app to catch up on Love and Hip Hop but oh my... this app is consistently glitching.
It’s always buffering (and I know it’s not my WiFi connection), when you leave the app open in the background it continues to glitch, it only recommends every other episode on the season that I’m trying to watch. Whenever I need to rewind I can’t because it will play commercials. I have an Apple TV and I can’t stream it on there because it’s constantly glitching on my tv which never happens with any other app. I can’t get through one minute of my show without a five minute pause every two seconds. This is annoying.
This app needs a ton of fixing!Show lessgabbymonstercrusher
A waste of time
Dealing with this app takes up so much of your time just to watch one tv show or one episode. I can start off watching a show, cast it to my tv then boom the sound is off but you can hear other parts of the show playing or a commercial playing over it. The app will be casting the show and it starts to lag. I’m on the beginning of the show but the sound is on the middle of the show. I click a certain episode then it plays another episode I didn’t select to watch. I have to stop casting, close the app, re open the app, find my episode, cast it to the tv, then for what, for me to have to do the steps all over again?! This is absolutely frustrating. It should not take you 30 mins to an hour to get the app to function just to watch one episode or one show. You’re better off just watching vh1 straight from your cable Provider because this app just isn’t it. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled and I’m have the same issues. Then you would expect the next episodes to continue, nope the current episode that you’re watching will play at least 5 times before the app just stops casting. I’m definitely deleting this app because it’s not worth the hassle.Show lessMzHiC2U
Same issues for a while!
Ads- There is always issues with the ads pausing visually but the sound continues and the show comes back on but what you see on the television is an ad that played 30 seconds ago. This has been an issue since I’ve had the app which has been for about a year and a half.
Episodes- There are times the episodes don’t play fully. The episodes will start from the beginning of you exit out and it’s difficult to fast forward to where you left off with ALL of the ads and playback issues.
I just thought the developers would have fixed this by now.Show lessMkluv2
Throw the whole apps away!
LOVE VH1.....HATE the app. I have a pretty tight schedule so to have the convenience of watching my fav shows while at the gym or on lunch break is amazing; if and when the app wants to work. While in the middle of the show sound goes out or the sound doesn’t match what’s on the screen Like my other fellow vh1 app users have previously stated, if you watch the show and something interrupts the show it either freezes or has to start over. It’s honestly annoying as hell and they need to fix it. These clearly are easy fixes so why haven’t these issues been fixed yet? I’ve been using the app for years but something has got to change or I’m done watching vh1 shows. Stop advertising the app if you aren’t going to commit to keeping up with maintenance.Show lessSunny_25

I love this app to watch reality shows however the amount of commercials are RIDICULOUS!! I read a previous review where VH1 responded saying they are ad supported and that’s how they make it possible for their content to be available to use for FREE. Ummm... HELLO!!!! IF I AM PAYING FOR MY CABLE AND I HAVE TO USE MY TV PROVIDER TO SIGN IN. ITS NOT FREE!!!! Not one show on there is “FREE” to watch when We are paying for cable and using that tv provider to sign in. Im PAYING my bill so I’m able watch my shows on my phone, tablet, etc. when I go out or on road trips. There’s no reason why there should be 20 commercials in a 40-60 min show. Once I watch a commercial my show plays 5 mins then boom another commercial! I think all these TV network apps should cut down on the ads or cut them out completely. If we are all paying for cable, we should be allowed to watch our shows without any interruptions.Show lesslzksisndksi
Overall okay
I’ve been using the app to watch new episodes and rewatch old shows. The app sometimes freezes in the middle of the episode. The app won’t show where you left off on the home screen you have to into the show you were watching if you close the app. My biggest complaint is how many times the same as shows. It’s absolutely ridiculous to have the same movie ad replay 5 times in a row! Yes same ad 5 times! You really need to change this up it is extremely annoying to not only see the same ad at every break during the show but 5 times in a row! Add new material please.Show lessNikki345
If I could punch an app
It would be this one. Right in it’s annoying face. Not only are the commercials the most annoying commercials I’ve ever seen (they play for 4 mins every 5 mins of an episode) but sometimes they get stuck in a loop and I have to reset the app and then watch the commercials all over again; sometimes only to get stuck in the same loop. At one point I thought I was in hell because an Everybody Loves Raymond commercial would not stop
looping right at the end of an important episode! I now hate Raymond, and the show title is a lie. It took me an hour to watch 30 mins of a show and I finally had to give up throw my phone in a lake (I don’t live near a lake, it was kind of a far drive) then I had to get a new phone, only to write this review. Thank you for trying, but you owe me a new phone. Also maybe like... try again on the app. Just like, all the way back to square one.Show lessSullypants

I downloaded the Vh1 app so I could cast my shows to my chrome cast instead of watching them on my phone from my cable provider’s app. This app is a DISASTER. I only watch RuPaul on the app and it takes 2 hours for me to watch an hour long episode. The app constantly stops working, and when it restarts, it goes all the way back to the beginning of the episode. When you start an episode, you have adds. When you fast forward, you have adds. There are adds every five minutes. Not to mention how much it freezes and glitches. It literally freezes on adds and keeps playing the same one over and over. The most annoying thing of all is that when I click on an episode, it will play a completely different episode than what I clicked on and I don’t know it until I have already sat through 10 minutes of commercials. 😡Show lessAnnaMWF

This app doesn’t function properly at least half of the time. When I click on the episode I want to watch, it typically doesn’t upload properly. There are many times that I just give up watching shows after 3-4 unsuccessful attempts. Also the app is not user friendly. When you view on the tablet, the orientation doesn’t adapt to the direction/placement of the tablet. When I click on full episodes, it automatically starts playing the previously watched episode, instead of displaying a menu of all of the episodes. I hate this app.Show lesslr11_28
Disappointed
Y’all should really think about the people that don’t have a tv provider because honestly I feel like what’s the point of the app If you don’t have a tv provider you won’t be able to watch the shows so really it’s no point of using the app and that’s where I think y’all made a mistake at I love the shows but really not a big fan of the app I feel like the app should be thrown away because of the fact that every one doesn’t have a tv provider when I first got the app I was able to watch all the apps now it’s saying the shows are locked becuase of a tv provider y’all should really up date the app vh1 disappointed I really thought I had a good app maybe y’all should do what the Fox now app did you don’t need a tv provider and it lets you watch the shows 5 days after it airs on tv also how am I going to sign in to my tv provider if the cable that I have isn’t listed on thereShow lesssome body with a idea
