Honestly saves families. ### 5/5 — Kit *2026-06-05, version 5.1.426* Holliday ### 2/5 — Audio *2026-05-15, version 5.1.426* Good family channel. The audio is always super low no matter what platform you use, you must turn up your sound well beyond normal use. This leads to getting blown out by the sound when you change channels or go to another app. ### 5/5 — Finally, a true free app *2026-04-24, version 5.1.420* Without commercials, thank you ### 5/5 — All *2026-04-08, version 5.1.412* Greatest of all time ### 5/5 — Racket Island *2026-03-26, version 5.1.406* Very entertaining family show.. ### 5/5 — Casting to Hisense *2026-03-24, version 5.1.406* Trying to cast to the tv won’t play on it ### 4/5 — Pride and Prejudice Ending *2026-03-09, version 5.1.395* Where is the ending to Pride and Prejudice?? It has been edited out! ### 3/5 — Can’t watch without cutting out *2026-03-02, version 5.1.395* Trying to watch and it keeps cutting out of the entire app. I go back, find where I left off watch for a couple minutes and cuts out again. And I have the most up to date version installed. Disappointed ### 5/5 — Great Movies *2026-02-04, version 5.1.377* A free APP giving a variety of movies and tv programs ### 4/5 — Uplifting Shows. Check on Two of Them *2026-01-26, version 5.1.377* I enjoy most of the shows and movies on this app. I especially like Making Good, Relative Race, and most of the family movies. I wanted to let you know that Book Thief should have at least a PG rating or higher because of violence, death, and war. I also wanted to let you know that the football movie 23 something does not open and it doesn’t state a future date to watch. Thank you for providing so many positive and uplifting programs.

But I love all the streaming options. Such great content! Thank you ### 2/5 — Content: Great!, App: Needs work *2026-01-02, version 5.1.377* I love tuning in to SN and enjoying the BYU sports content. But I’m wondering if the dev team is aware of and trying to fix the issue with the app where if you go from full screen to small or temporary switch to another app and come back, the video player then gets caught in the screen sleep settings rather than staying awake. Requires me to kill the app every time and go back to full screen. There are mag other players out there that don’t fail like this. I hope you can fix this glitch soon… ### 5/5 — BYU tv Hetty father season 8 *2025-11-25, version 5.1.377* How to get on ### 5/5 — The Chosen *2025-11-22, version 5.1.377* Can’t wait for more, Amazing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lucky this app is a thing *2026-08-21, version 5.2.5* This app is amazing! We are so lucky that it is an app. It deserves a five star review. ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2026-05-02, version 5.1.420* I went to open the app today, and while it was loading, it kicked me off for no reason. Also not very inclusive, all main characters are white and straight. Absolutely no lgbtq+ rep in any of the shows. Not even any aro or ace rep. ### 1/5 — Can’t get the times straight *2026-01-24, version 5.1.377* Why does a video have Eastern and Pacific Time zone’s when it is played in the Mountain. This is absurd, do you really think your attracting viewers from the east and west coast, when the majority of our fans are in UT? ### 1/5 — No tiene idioma en español *2026-01-21, version 5.1.377* No tiene idioma en español ### 1/5 — Phone shuts off *2025-11-18, version 5.1.377* The app doesn’t keep your phone on so you have to keep tapping the screen or phone just shuts off and sleeps ### 1/5 — Too hard to navigate *2025-11-13, version 5.1.377* We simply cannot seem to get into the site to watch a movie. It asks for a lot of verification that we can’t figure out. ### 1/5 — Knowing you location and network *2025-11-06, version 5.1.373* As soon as I downloaded the app I was shown my excavator location and Wi-Fi I was connected to. Made me really uncomfortable just for a movie app this should not be acceptable ### 1/5 — User Experience Stinks *2025-10-24, version 5.1.373* I love BYU TV, but this app stinks. I watch BYU sports nation every day, but the app never remembers or gives me an option to just click on it, one click, to get to the show I watch every day. Every other app I use knows what I watch and offers it with one click. I literally have to scroll down to the sports section, click on it, then scroll down and find the latest episode. It’s frustrating every time. Do the people who develop this app even use it? ### 1/5 — Unstable and Frustrating *2025-10-03, version 5.0.358* The app frequently crashes and has trouble advancing to the next episode, sometimes skipping to a different one entirely. It also does not consistently remember where playback was left off when exiting and returning. These issues occur whether signed in or not, making the experience unreliable and frustrating. ### 1/5 — Information scammers *2025-07-14, version 5.0.351* You think being a lifelong member of the church I would be able to have BYU TV for free without having to give them my valuable information. Thanks a lot for nothing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-27, version 5.2.8* This app is amazing!
