### 2/5 — heart broken

*2026-08-26, version 5.2.1*

Mr. Swim]….. Why is your app broken.. I just want to watch the drinky crow show but I every time I try to it always says theres a problem. Please fix the brokenness, I just want to watch the drinky crow show  to fill my drinky crow show shaped heart

### 4/5 — I like it

*2026-08-25, version 5.2.1*

I loved the app it’s just the ads that threw me off a bit
But I liked the Rick and Morty

### 4/5 — Glitches

*2026-08-13, version 5.2.1*

Why are some episodes erased and some ui is bad like the zoom in and zoom out button.                  And why do we have to enter our tv composer or smt like that but after all those shows are peak

### 3/5 — THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM HERE

*2026-07-26, version 5.2.1*

The first time I used the app it worked great. I was able to log in to cable service and watch old episodes of Samurai Jack from the app and AirPlay it to the living room TV. After trying a different day it wasn’t working. I verified the login to cable was good, tried checking for updates, restarting phone, uninstalling and reinstalling the app and was still getting an error when trying to open specific episodes from Shows. It plays the show from Marathon but I can’t select the episodes in order the way that I could the first day. Will increase stars on review if the app starts working again.

### 3/5 — “There Seems to be a Problem”

*2026-07-25, version 5.2.1*

I get this error with Rick and Morty and a few other shows. I’m trying to reinstall the app but I doubt it’ll work. this is not the first time this has happened, both on wifi and off. Idk what to do

### 1/5 — First it was Buggy, Now it’s Busted

*2026-07-09, version 5.2.1*

It used to be riddled with bugs, streams freezing, booting you from the ap. 
For the last month, when opening the ap it will simply say “There seems to be a problem here”.

### 1/5 — The App wont even start.

*2026-06-27, version 5.2.1*

Crashes after the title card. Laaaame.

### 2/5 — problem

*2026-06-23, version 5.2.1*

love adult swim, i grew up on it, but this app is so trash. every time i click on a good it says there’s a problem, but when i click on one of those new whack shows it works. let me watch my metalocolypse and rick and morty

### 4/5 — Lil bug

*2026-06-22, version 5.2.1*

On some occasions, when I try to check the schedule, the schedule won’t load

### 1/5 — App sucks

*2026-06-18, version 5.2.1*

The app is trash content won’t load ever like who updating this and how hard is it to get right

### 1/5 — Fix it

*2026-06-18, version 5.2.1*

You app doesn’t work. For the love of god fix u lazy bastards

### 1/5 — No Full Seasons

*2026-06-17, version 5.2.1*

I don’t know if it’s because of using a cable provider login or a push to make everything HBO Max, but there seems to be a lot of missing episodes and even missing full seasons from the [as] app.

Either way, it’s pretty scummy practice.

### 1/5 — Regularly Frustrating

*2026-06-15, version 5.2.1*

Despite being logged in, this app regularly won’t pull up shows or let you select specific episodes to watch. “There seems to be a problem here.” Endlessly. Impossible to use.

### 1/5 — Broken!

*2026-06-12, version 5.2.1*

Cable provider login is broken and has been for quite a long time now. Clicking “Authenticate to watch” on any episode of any show does absolutely nothing! Even if you set the login on your phone through Settings>General>TV Provider, it just doesn’t work. Even streaming the free stuff sometimes doesn’t work unless you like endless black screens. Nice job, Adult Swim.

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2026-06-09, version 5.2.1*

Can’t log in to my cable provider in the app on iOS. The app has made me do it every time I want to watch, and now clicking the button does absolutely nothing. App functionality has been bad for a long time, but this time there literally isn’t anything I can do.

Update: if I click 10 times really fast the Dish authentication page comes up. I put in my login info, submit and… nothing. This goes for both the authenticate button on the streaming page and in the settings. I don’t understand how adult swim has had the same issue for years at this point for the app.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-09, version 5.2.1*

Worst streaming app there is. Too many bugs to list. One star is too much

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2026-08-18, version 5.2.1*

Everything you click will say error loading. Don’t waste your time downloading this app, the developers are also sitting in the reviews and suppressing other reviews.
Mine is highly likely to be flagged and taken down don’t download this app

### 1/5 — It sucks

*2026-08-06, version 5.2.1*

It won’t let me watch nothing

### 1/5 — Yikes

*2026-08-03, version 5.2.1*

App is totally broken. All shows give a retry error

### 1/5 — No screen mirror

*2026-07-28, version 5.2.1*

Doesn’t allow screen mirror and makes it so we have to sign in from a different device every use

### 1/5 — It’s 2026 figure it tf out

*2026-07-27, version 5.2.1*

How is it, in the year 2026 of our lord, that this app still doesn’t work?? Anytime I’m trying to watch a show that’s not a marathon, I’m getting an error message that says “There seems to be a problem here”. We’ll figure it tf out. You guys are a multi million dollar corporation and you can’t seem to just make an app run correctly. Fire your software engineers fr. Rant over

### 1/5 — This App is Broken

*2026-07-23, version 5.2.1*

This app is utterly broken, there are years worth of Reddit threads and comments taking about how no one can access content outside of the live stream, kind of insane that you can only watch the live stream and not access the rest of the show catalog without getting an error message.

### 1/5 — Genuinely awful

*2026-07-14, version 5.2.1*

I’m not kidding it just doesn’t work 70% of the time I don’t know what to say, loads slow, horrible interface, this is barely even an app it’s ridiculous that it’s this bad like literally what on earth.

### 1/5 — “ There seems to be a problem here “

*2026-07-12, version 5.2.1*

No explanation at all for this error. Turned off wifi, Turned on wifi, remove ad blocked, added ad blocker, deleted app, redownloaded app, clicked different shows, yet the same response every single time. Literally an unusable app.

### 1/5 — Certain content doesn’t load

*2026-07-12, version 5.2.1*

For whatever reason some shows on the app load fine and others give an error. Rick and Morty, the show almost everyone has the app to watch being one of them. It’s ridiculous enough you can watch the show as it releases in only 2 places and both of which require cable tv. To add to that the second place being this app, it never works, but if I wanna watch any other show I’ve never heard of and don’t care about it works fine.

### 1/5 — Most shows don’t work

*2026-07-10, version 5.2.1*

Most shows don’t work

### 5/5 — ADULT SWIM AND TOONAMI IS AMAZING

*2026-06-21, version 5.2.1*

I’ve been watching adult swim because they have all of my favorite ANIMES like dragon ball z and sailor moon and Naruto and dandadan and rooster fighter it has so many good animes and when it’s raining I watch adult swim and toonami because it’s peaceful to watch it that way and that’s cool is that they show TOM AND SARA the mascots of toonami WHICH IS REALLY COOL I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU GUYS DOWNLOAD THIS APP BECAUSE TOONAMI AND ADULT SWIM IS THE BEST.
