⚠️MY HONEST REVIEW PLEASE READ! ⚠️
okay so the only reason I downloaded cbc gem was to watch pen15, but it is making me a bit annoyed. There’s an ad pretty much every ten minutes which isn’t too bad because the app is free, but in the ad you have to watch 2 ads, then the next ad break it’s 3 ads, and then the last ad break is 5 ads bro. I am watching a 15 second ad 5 times. Does that make sense lol? The ads are so repetitive and also just annoying. But other than that it’s fine.

Everything you need
What’s not to love? Great content. A lot of Canadian and British shows.
Commercials
The length of the commercials is really annoying and you can’t skip any part of it
Semi-functional Ad Saturated P-aPP
The app sometimes forgets where you stopped your program. If you are in the last 3 minutes, you end up having to watch multiple sets of ads you’ve already seen. Just nuts. Worst streaming app ever.
Why I love cbc
I love CBC because they have shows that I couldn’t watch on any other platform like heartland was my favourite show and still is and I was so mad when I couldn’t watch it on the platform I used to watch it on but then everybody told me it was on CBC when I thought I lost my favourite TV show, but it was free and I could watch you whenever I wanted at home so that’s why I love CBC Gem

All Ads
Ads constant. Glitches so ads repeat over and you have to restart the program. Same three ads. Over over over. Disappointed
Thank you

Commonwealth Games coverage
Great commonwealth games coverage! I follow track cycling and all sessions are played! Not just the evening finals! Thank you CBC👏👏
Best Experience
I’m really getting a very good experience on this app, the best of ever
Can’t stop emails and asked too many personal questions
Had to create an account to watch one episode of The Fifth Estate. Account creation asks for too many personal questions. Seems like CBC is taking its own census! Next cue the emails, which I never opted for in the first place… At least 5 per day! Unsubscribed 3 different times with each time experiencing a short while of silence followed by another round of bombardment. Even though I’ve deleted my account, I’m not confident CBC hasn’t retained it somewhere and will keep harassing me with emails!

Commercials
Too many & can’t fast forward them.
The Best Canadian (+ other) shows on tap
From Schitts Creek to Amandaland to Wild Cards and many moreeee
Could be way better
Good shows but glitchy UI. Also sooo many adds
Log-in broken
The app is useless for actually watching content. For months now I have tried logging in with no success, the log-in page just displays ‘bad gateway’. I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading the app multiple times with no success. I live in Canada, I have a Gem account, yet I can’t access it to watch Canadian shows.

App
All of a sudden I can’t get the gem app on my smart tv to work. Now I have mirror the episodes. Very frustrating. Hope you figure out the problem
