False advertising & terrible customer service

They advertise episodes out on specific dates however there have been so many times that episodes haven’t been uploaded for even up to a week yet they’re still advertising that the new episodes out Monday. Customer service was completely useless, ignoring my questions and provided zero help at all. Why am I paying for an app if I can’t watch the shows you advertise to have over another platform.

The worst video streaming app. By far

Where do I start? It doesn’t have a Continuous Play function. If you try to change episodes too quickly it will tell you something has gone wrong and will tell you to log out. It will stop playing randomly and restart the episode from the beginning. It also signs you out for no reason. It won’t keep certain Shows in the “Continue Watching” section. It doesn’t remember where you are up to in the episode when you return to it later.

Dark mode

Dark mode can’t be turned off, so if you’re like me, you won’t be able to read anything.

Buggy app.

Content is fine, app is full of bugs and is painful to use compared to other streaming services.

BINGE casting stopped working immediately after cancelling my subscription

I’ve recently experienced a frustrating problem with BINGE that I have been unable to resolve.

Until recently, I could cast programmes from my iPad to my television without any difficulty.

On 28 October, I cancelled my subscription, with confirmation that I would retain access until 19 November. However, on the same day, casting stopped working.

The BINGE app initially connects to my television, which displays “Ready to cast”. But the moment I select a programme, it plays on my iPad instead, the casting icon disappears, and nothing plays on the television.

I’ve restarted my iPad, checked the relevant permissions and confirmed that other streaming services, including YouTube, cast perfectly well to the same television.

I can still watch BINGE on my iPad, so the subscription clearly continues to provide access. The problem appears to be specifically with BINGE’s casting functionality.

I cannot say whether this is related to cancelling my subscription, but the timing is certainly curious.

A paid streaming service should work reliably until the subscription expires. It’s disappointing to encounter this problem, particularly when everything was working correctly the previous day.

BINGE needs to investigate these technical issues and provide a more reliable streaming experience.

Update it for Duo.

Just compile it in the latest Xcode, you JUST pushed an update.

Worst app ever

This app sucks when casting, it won’t auto play and then at the end of each episode it’s has a mental breakdown and throws errors.

Worst streaming app

While you might have good content, what’s the point if it is too difficult to watch.
There is too much going on the page, so you lose track of the shows you are watching.
Then, trying to Chromecast shows to the TV. Forget it… useless. Very close to cancelling my subscription.

Missing a key feature

No longer compatible with Apple TVOS Top Shelf for continue watching. I don’t want to navigate the app or remember what app I watch a show on, which is why I have the Apple TV for the convenience of Top Shelf continuing watching. Bring back this feature.

Deleted all the shows I watch

Why have they deleted pretty much all of escape to the country and all of grand designs Uk? Not worth paying a yearly fee now I’ll go back to Netflix after my subscription finishes, plus nothing new thats any good in the last few months

Please stop logging me out and making me waste my time. When I could be binging.

Aggghhhh. Bro why does it keep logging me out. And then saying I need to go to the webpage to choose a subscription or sign in. Then when I sign in using the code it takes FOREVER, so I give up and use my password only for it to say no key thing found. And after all that. Suddenly it finally lets me watch my show.

Poor experience=No experience

Signed up and cancelled the very same day. No streaming ability on either ios or appletv. Something wrong with my stream every time I attempt to watch anything. Lodged a ticket, but no response.

Not good

Too many adds, makes it unwatchable unless you upgrade at a premium cost. Poor service.

Adds

Won’t be using this service moving forward. It’s a good service with good content, I especially appreciate the Australian content like Mr Inbetween. That said if I’m paying a subscription I expect no adds. I won’t use a subscription service that has adds or wants me to pay more to remove adds (like Amazon does).

Rubbish

Very difficult to cancel subscription

Useless app

App barely runs, constantly glitches, always having to close the app and try again. Doesn’t save your spot, but makes you watch ads every time you’re trying to fix the stream. Absolutely useless - every other streaming app has it right, fix it Binge!

Poor Value for Money and No Refund

Terrible experience. No refund even though I didn’t use the service, and the selection of shows and dramas isn’t worth the price.

Terrible

Terrible app. Constantly having to log out to reset, won’t let me cast and buffers constantly. So I watch Netflix, Apple TV, Prime, HBO Max and the rest as THEY ACTUALLY WORK.

Relax on the ads

4 ads every 5 minutes is ridiculous

THE WORST APP

If I could give this godforsaken app zero stars I would. It always disconnects when casting. It never starts from the next episode. FIX THE BUGS. I hate this app so gd much.
