Hopeless on Firestick

This application is awful running on a Firestick. Keeps crashing constantly and you either have to reboot the whole Firestick or uninstall and reinstall the application and then the issue just keeps presenting itself again. Please sort this out.

too many adverts

too many adverts

What have I watched

For god sake add on when something was broadcast. I’m
Watching goggle box on demand not live and it’s a struggle to find if there’s a new episode . I frequently play one I’ve already seen

News and crime documentaries

Both the above, by far and away, the best on a comparable to any other channel.

Flawed App

The TV Guide layout on this mobile app is incredibly frustrating. It completely hides whether a scheduled show is a brand-new episode or a repeat. Furthermore, the guide is completely inconsistent—some shows are clickable early while others are locked out, giving no clear indication of why. Please add clear 'New' and 'Repeat' badges to the guide tiles so users don't have to guess or look everything up on Google.

I almost watched one of your shows

Fix your login screen, I’m not typing a password with a remote, it is 2026. QR code please. And maybe, just maybe I can be bothered using your app.

See title... why no expand button ?

Frustrating app

Channel 4 is really let down by its app. Every time I’m watching something and it goes to the adverts, the adverts freeze and the video plays in the background with no sound or image (just the subtitles) and so I have to exit out of the player and enter back in every time there’s an advert break. This also means watching a good few minutes of adverts EVERY time! It wouldn’t surprise me if this bit wasn’t fixed on purpose to encourage people to pay extra for no adverts. Super disappointing

Why are ads 4 minutes

???

Rubbish

Adverts stream, programme doesn’t start. Restart then adverts stream again. Absolute garbage app.

🤩

Film4 and Walter presents along with some of box sets and some of the comedy available are a true god send for me, kudos and please continue forever

Casting to TV

I have Channel 4 on my phone . Also have on my TV.
Phone will play both live TV and on-demand TV. But TV tells me its not available in my current location. Which is the same location as my phone.
I have tried casting from phone to TV with the same response.
I have telephoned their support line to be told well for TV you are in the wrong location. !!!!

One of the worst uk tv streaming apps

This has been mentioned by other reviewers, the app does not seem to be able to cope with pausing a show and then resuming. It either freezes or goes back to the beginning of the show. This happens frequently with on-demand streaming but pretty much 100% of the time when using “go back to the beginning” when streaming something that is currently being broadcast.

No TV guide

The app has no TV guide showing what’s coming up for the next 24 hours or so. Only shows now and next

Brilliant

Fantastic

Amazing channel

Love the catch up. All the programs are great

Ads

Way to many ads. They are every 5 mins then 4 minutes long and you can’t skip them

To many adds

You watch the ads longer than you watch the telly

Undeclared War

Re-watched series 1; it is so realistic and has some good morale standpoints. The fake news aspects portrayed really well. The identification of what fear would make people do and believe, rings so true today.

Really glad that c4 have made a follow up series, looking forward to watching it.

Brilliant

Loving it
