### 2/5 — Never works

*2026-06-29, version 200.0*

This app never works!

### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2026-06-20, version 200.0*

I’m only here to watch TP sistas and there are tooooo many add about 5mins worth before the episode really starts then two minutes ads every 5/6 minutes. I grew up watching BET this is so disappointing

### 1/5 — Login error

*2026-06-17, version 200.0*

It refuses to let me login. Could this possibly be a bug? As soon as I click login (before inputting any info) it says error. I have deleted the app, redownloaded and swiped out of the app and relaunched it. Could this be looked into?

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-01-28, version 200.0*

Ads every 60 seconds or less at the beginning/end of each episode, with additional ads throughout the episode. The ads are off putting and I find myself finding something else to watch on another app. Bet plus app is much better with ads but doesn’t have the full seasons of most shows. Corporate greed at its finest!

### 1/5 — Won’t let me sign in

*2026-01-16, version 200.0*

Keep getting a error message

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-12-24, version 200.0*

Worst streaming app I’ve used. It’s constantly buffering. The shows don’t resume where you left off. I often have to exit and reopen the app just to watch a show.

### 1/5 — Most remedial app

*2025-12-21, version 200.0*

Please tell my why this app functions like something from a startup company? Extremely basic functionality, slow, and waaayy too many commercials. Makes me not even want to watch the shows anymore.

### 3/5 — Its ok

*2025-11-28, version 194.0*

The only real problem with the app is the amount of ads. There are more ads than the amount of show. There’s 2 minutes of ads before the show, then after the opening credits there’s another 2 minutes of ads. I would rate the app higher if there were less ads and more actual show time.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2025-11-07, version 194.0*

You can’t watch shows without a ton of ads .. don’t have time for that

### 1/5 — Mrsdee

*2025-11-03, version 194.0*

This the worse app ever even when I say no provider I can’t sign in
