It’s not bad
My main issues are with firstly the continue Binging section. You’re able to remove an item from the list if you’re no longer interested. However I clicked on an AFLW live game the other day and now it keeps suggesting it to continue binging, despite having removed it via Apple TV, iPhone as well as also an iPad.
Secondly, when finishing a show or movie, if you take too long it starts playing something new that is completely different to what you were watching.

Control over app
You really don’t want customers to have any control over the app. With the most recent update last week, we can no longer use AirPods controls. I cannot pause and restart video with the buttons on AirPods and the pause when falling asleep functyno longer works. This was the one thing stopping the videos from playing all night once I fell asleep since you removed the continuous play toggle.
And before you say there isn’t anything wrong, I’ve tested other streaming apps and the functions work fine!!

Unreliable App
The Binge app is absolutely terrible. I can never play consecutive episodes without it bugging out. The playback controls never work. When are you going to fix all of these issues that everyone is complaining about?
Most recent “fix” was a downgrade.
App no longer plays with device locked (e.g. streaming/listening to news).
Ads
My unskippable ads keep being interrupted even though I pay a monthly subscription
Buggiest app around
Every time we try Binge again we remember why we quit. Can’t control from the app - can’t rewind, pause, takes an hour to sign up going around in circles. Will quit again after Colin from Accounts.
Cannot hide time and battery bar on iPad
When using my iPad it’s hard to hide the time date and battery bar at the top of the screen. Other apps don’t show the bar when you are watching in full screen. When you do manage to get it to disappear the moment you push pause or the skip button it comes back. Very frustrating.
So frustrating.
Despite the great content, the app is so unreliable it’s almost unusable. You should not have to constantly delete and reinstall an app daily.
App has too many bugs
Every time I go to watch something from my phone it won’t play…… stupid
App is atrocious
Binge has some good content. If you’re here solely for that, sign up. It’s competitive with its rivals and has decent shows, some not found elsewhere.
The app is where it falls down. On the iPhone, on Apple TV and especially ESPECIALLY Android/Google TV. On my Google TV (and I understand I’m leaving a comment on the App Store, but it’s 2026 and we use multiple devices for the same content now) I can barely get through two episodes in a row without it crashing. On occasion it takes minutes (plural) to load, then when I finally navigate to what I want to watch, I get an error.
Weirdly, some seasons of tv shows run in the reverse order. I was watching two seasons of law and order, one ran episode 1 to 24, then the next season automatically played 24 to 1.
It’s objectively terrible.

Still awful, I want my money back
Update:
Hey Binge!
Instead of asking reviewers to send screenshots and videos of your app not working, just using it yourself. You’ll see pretty quick how awful it is. I’ve cancelled my subscription, bye-eeeeeee!
Came back to Binge to watch one particular show because it’s not available anywhere else. I was never a fan of the Apple TV Binge App, and it’s still not good, but just for different reasons. Very laggy, clumsy sideways scrolling that doesn’t happen on any other app, so it’s not my internet speed that’s the issue. I also can’t resume or restart a movie I was watching for some reason; the screen just partially refreshes and nothing happens.
Won’t be resubscribing, I think.
As a side note: you’re now CHARGING customers to watch ads, something free-to-air TV provides for free. Are you planning to put any of that double-dipping revenue into hiring some decent app developers?

The app is terrible needs a lot of work
The app has big issues connecting with Chromecast and even when it does if watching a series has troubles connecting for the next episode it keeps taking us back to the beginning then when trying to reset it tells us there is an issue and to sign out and when we do still doesn’t fix it. The app used to be fine but now is terrible.

Limited to one program
This has got to be the worst app for casting to a tv with ChromeCast. It never lets me watch more than one thing before giving me errors. Totally rubbish
Expensive.
Fine, it’s a streaming service that charges like wounded bull and makes very difficult to cancel.
Most Unfunctional App Ever
The binge app is the worst app. It is not user friendly at all.
Useless
They fix one issue but create seven more, can believe I’m stuck with a 12 month subscription to something that isn’t usable
Binge Scam
Once you have subscribed, you will not be able to unsubscribe.
Terrible experience and buggy as all hell
The Binge app used to be ok. OK enough that I didn’t feel compelled to leave a review. But then they changed it, maybe 6 months ago, and it has gone BAD. Doesn’t sync well with Apple TV anymore. Opens streaming in a small YouTube-like screen and you have to make it bigger yourself. Sometimes it just plays an additional version the soundtrack of what I’m watching but with a 2 second delay. I can’t find anything, easily, new episodes don’t show up, the continue watching sections keeps things in there I’ve already watched. It’s just a pile of poo. Do better, I pay money for your software so you have no excuse.

Binge for iPad
Unbelievably stupid that I can’t watch binge on my iPad in landscape for some reason, no matter the setting that I put it in I am unable to watch a movie in full screen landscape. A bug that clearly needs to be fixed.
Keeps crashing
I struggle to open this app on iPhone it keeps not wanting to open! Same thing occurs with hbo. Good shows tho! And live tv option!
