User reviews

App doesn’t even open

Developers need to fix the app as it doesn’t work!

Channel 5 broke

Same issue as mbarn. Can’t watch anything on 5, not even browse channels. Tried everything, nothing worked.

Simply doesn’t work at all.

Has this been tested on an iPad because it simply doesn’t open? Splash screen comes up then stays there indefinitely. Have restarted my iPad Pro but I get same result every time. iPad OS 27.

Buggy

Pretty rubbish, a ridiculous amount of repetitive ads and adverts buffer and stick and when show restarts you have to come out of the App and reload. A common problem with users that has been happening for a long time

Dire

Most watched programme for me is ‘sorry, something has gone wrong. Please try again later. Visit help.Channel5.com. Having repeatedly tried and failed to watch streaming on this platform it’s just unreliable. It’s almost as if they don’t want you to watch their programmes.
