  • Feels untested

    Just doesn’t really work. Downloaded movies seem to “expire” after a month or so - but instead of saying this (and perhaps giving you warning days before?) it just comes up with a random error and won’t play unless you delete and re-download. Other bugs include sometimes not being able to play a movie at all, or it won’t let you watch the first episode in a series - only workaround for either of these seems to be to delete app and re-install. This is all fairly basic stuff - it’s not like I’m trying to do anything unusual.

    Wish I’d bought the movies on a platform that does the basics - definitely won’t buy movies through google again.

  • It’s very buggy

    Very buggy, keeps dropping out and struggling to link to my chromecast.
  • Glitchy waste of time

    Expensive- glitchy - useless
  • Not thrilled

    I purchased a bunch of movies just to have the app shut down on me and the subtitles don’t work in the movies when I turn them on. In my opinion it’s not worth spending money just for it not to work.
  • Very poor experience

    I have had similar problems after various updates to the app and iOS. It seems that after a random period of time my downloaded movies are inaccessible. They show as downloaded in my library but when I try to watch them I get an error. Seems to apply to all the movies I’ve downloaded - in the past I’ve had to delete everything reset app and download them all again. Very frustrating! I know Google and apple are separate corporate entities, but if you’re going to offer an app, you need to make sure it works properly.

  • Netflix and Google tv

    I realized after a while that while using the Google tv app you can’t open Netflix. You can open every other app but Netflix which is really frustrating leading me to use the Netflix app, which is fine but I just wish there was a direct way to Netflix instead of using different apps that work for all streaming platforms. Other than that the app is okay it just takes a really long time for it to load up and sync to the tv properly.

  • Waiting for show icons

    It has been years now that they still cannot get the icons for all of my films to show, some cases the name and the icon does not show. I have sent in emails, screen shots etc and still wait. I can download the film and watch it, but shouldn’t a library show correctly? I have the latest version, IOS, newer iPad & iPhone, also with YouTube, why on the Apple TV are the shows not in alphabetical order? LIKE I SAID YEARS.

  • Awful app. Remote doesn’t work after connecting to tv.

    I can never open the app, connect to the tv, and get access to the remote. I have to open the Apple Remote app in order to get access to the google tv remote in app. It makes no sense. And if I leave the google tv app without closing the application, the remote disappears even though my tv is still connected. Instead, there will be a blank pop up that says “no content”. Worthless app.

  • If only

    Links don’t always work and app can be very slow
  • Remote

    The only reason I have this downloaded is so I have an extra remote on hand when the kiddos loose the physical one. Before this new update it worked great but now it takes minutes before it even gives the option for the remote. It’s been nothing but a pain since it updated.
