### 5/5 — Great App/Network

*2025-12-05, version 14.902*

Love TACS. Best thing on the internet. If you’re not listening, you’re loss.

### 1/5 — Wet Fart

*2025-07-12, version 14.902*

Downloaded the app after subscribing, hoping to get episodes to have on my phone.  But it won’t even open at all.

### 1/5 — Apps been down for weeks

*2025-06-24, version 14.902*

App hasn’t worked for weeks and no one seems to care to fix it. Censored TV doesn’t take compound credentials and tweeting anyone at compound does nothing. I just renewed 2 months ago. Complete waste of money

### 1/5 — No shows

*2025-06-17, version 14.902*

For over a week the screen immediately goes black and a message saying “whoops” try again
Over and over and 😑😑

### 1/5 — Great show, bad app

*2025-04-01, version 14.902*

The company that maintains this app just can’t keep it working properly. 
This has nothing to do with the content of the shows on the app

### 5/5 — Little effort put into app

*2025-03-01, version 14.902*

I love the shows, but often they are not put on the app, or mislabeled. No big deal but there is no effort to fix the problem.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-01-25, version 14.902*

A member since day 1, I’m now not receiving any new episodes with my subscription, and no access to censored TV

### 1/5 — Can’t do it anymore

*2025-01-24, version 14.902*

After being a loyal fan and paying subscription for about 10 years I had to finally cancel. Was holding on to see if they could fix the bugs but they haven’t and it’s been more than a week. It seems ever since he went with Gavin’s company it’s seems like there is always a problem and I personally like Gavin but I can’t give money away if there is no new shows and can’t fix the problem.

### 1/5 — Not accessible

*2024-11-09, version 14.902*

This app is not accessible for blind users. I have email them before and nothing has changed.

### 3/5 — Anthony is a legend

*2024-11-09, version 14.902*

Been a fan for 20 years, I have a crush on him.
