If the problem persists, try restarting the app. ### 2/5 — Ad Heavy *2025-12-09* This new version of the app prevents you from going to your favorite part of the show. Also it includes all the tv ads but also adds even more ads any time you pause and midway through a segment. I hate this new ad heavy and inflexible format and won’t use it much ### 1/5 — 1/10 times I have tried to use it worked *2025-12-02* So disappointing ### 1/5 — Sucks *2025-11-27* Not sure what they did but can’t download the app and watch live on anything please fix ### 1/5 — App *2025-06-02* App does not work on my smart tv which i have been watching it on for ages… cant even find it on the app list to reload… says to reload but doesnt work..it says retry in sometime..whatever that means ### 1/5 — Apps is broken *2025-05-31* The app asks for reload but doesn’t work, keeps giving same message over and over, guess the people at CHEK don’t care since this is ongoing ### 1/5 — iOS and Google tv doesn’t work *2025-05-27* Stopped working on a new Sony tv with Google and it doesn’t work on iOS apple 18.5 phone Try to support local but hopefully advertisers take note ### 3/5 — Not the actual live channel *2024-12-25* I expected this to show the live actual chek tv channel, this is just a small sub selection of the shows available on the network channel - dissappointing! ### 2/5 — No Livestream *2024-12-12* The Livestream AppleTV TVOS 18.2 function on this app hasn’t worked in months. I even tried on another older AppleTV running an older tvOS and the 24/7 Livestream will not load. I’ve contacted CHEK TV about this issue months ago but received no response. Sad. ### 1/5 — New app no longer has 15 second rewind/fast forward function. Big downgrade *2024-05-21* The new Chek Plus app no longer has a 15 second rewind or fast forward button. I always watched on a delay so I could skip through commercials, but that is no longer an option. Add to this that the slider bar function has never worked on any version of the app. The slider bar either takes you back 30 minutes to the beginning of the buffer or to Live; there is NO in between. This update is a massive step backwards for the Chek Plus App with the removal of the rewind/fast forward button. ## Frequently asked questions about CHEK+ ### What content does CHEK+ offer?
