Most channels on this platform or actually live, streaming from some studio. But there is one problem that I’ve experience, and that’s with adding favorites. For some reason, when I go and add favorites, with the heart button, the channels I favorite don’t show up in the favorites setting. No matter how many channels I had, the favorites heading still stays blank. Don’t know if this is a bug, or maybe it’s a feature I have to pay for, but if it’s not a paid feature, fix it! ### 3/5 — Only available in portrait mode? *2024-02-08, version 1.1.69* It’s good all right but it has one major bug. From what I’ve discovered so far it’s available In portrait mode only. Most of the other streaming services I use let you decide. Unless there’s some option I’m missing ### 3/5 — Sideways on an iPad *2023-09-10, version 1.1.69* The app is lightning fast and very clear but why can’t it be in landscape mode for the iPad? Most people use their iPad as a laptop with keyboard and having the app display in portrait mode is very annoying. Please change that and I can give it 4 or 5 starts. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Please fix this problem please *2023-06-28, version 1.1.69* It give me an warning that says Oops! something went wrong. Please try again after sometime... ### 4/5 — Nice App but… *2022-10-17, version 1.1.64* Nice App but it’s missing Retro TV like Cozi TV, Antenna TV, Get TV, Me TV, Decades, Gritt, etc ### 3/5 — Needs Vizio TV Smartcast Native app Support and Chromecast unstable *2022-04-16, version 1.1.63* Chromecast Live stream Support disconnects itself frequently at most times especially on a 2nd Generation Chromecast please fix this support for Chromecast and add Vizio TV Smartcast native app, Thanks. ### 4/5 — Nice app... *2021-01-04, version 1.1.41* I think it’s nice free app ### 2/5 — Free, so there’s that *2020-11-26, version 1.1.37* Can’t watch and full screen on an iPhone and there is the audio bug that others mention (changing channel gives audio from both channels). Good free streaming, but this is a rating for the application, and the application has a lot of problems that don’t make it ideal to stream on a portable device. ### 4/5 — Cool free tv streaming *2020-11-18, version 1.1.37* Free tv streaming, has lots to watch & streaming quality is great. ### 1/5 — Not for kids *2020-07-23, version 1.1.25* Contains programs and movies not suitable for kids app should be rated 17+ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be great, now it sucks, all channels are gone *2026-08-14, version 1.1.69* DistroTV used to be a great source of tv and movies, that all changed within the last month, and now all of the channels are gone, replaced with DayStar religious stuff and a couple of documentaries. It's absolutely worthless now. ### 1/5 — No Longer Streams Anything *2026-07-19, version 1.1.69* This used to be a good app with kaloopy now it streams nothing but just 3 things that is it. Avoid at all costs. ### 1/5 — Terrible on iPad *2025-01-04, version 1.1.69* Who makes a video streaming platform that won’t let you watch in horizontal full screen?? ### 1/5 — Really? *2024-09-01, version 1.1.69* This could be a good app. You can’t cast to a device without keeping your phone open on the app!! If you lock your screen the connection stops. No other app that you can cast from does this. ### 1/5 — WORST! STREAMING APP! EVER! *2022-08-09, version 1.1.63* This is pathetic! Obsolete movies, 99% of which I’ve never heard of, woke Hollywood comedians, and crap! The app is confusing to use, has no details about the content, so if you want to know anything about it, you have to do an online search, and it has twice as many ads as network tv. Total waste of time, I’m out! ### 1/5 — Chromecast barely works *2021-08-26, version 1.1.61* The app takes over my phone screen while casting, and I have to keep tapping the screen while watching, because if the phone screen goes dark, Chromecast disconnects. ### 1/5 — App crashes *2021-03-15* Disappointed that the app crashes on startup. ### 1/5 — Far right propaganda *2020-11-12, version 1.1.35* This always defaults back to Maxnews when the app reloads. Of the current news channel options, there is one neutral channel, and all the rest are far right channels that are rated as unreliable sources by the various media bias rating services. ### 1/5 — Fix the audio *2020-11-10, version 1.1.35* Updates never fix the multiple audio streams from channels not being the current selection. Makes the app pointless. I can’t watch your ads when I don’t run the app because of company’s inability to fix the overlapping audio. ### 1/5 — Ad issues *2020-08-15, version 1.1.27* Ads way too loud and frequent ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2025-12-20* Lots of good stuff to watch. Well done. ### 5/5 — No se abre *2022-04-03, version 1.1.63* Lo instalé otra vez y no se abre para nada en mi iPhone 13. Estoy en EEUU será por esa razón.😞😞😞 ### 5/5 — Great Programming *2022-03-28, version 1.1.63* The app itself is clunky. It only goes in the horizontal mode once you pick the station and then back to regular mode when you're looking at the lineup. But the sheer number of stations including a lot of sports stations I've never seen before easily makes up for that. It's a highly recommended app for the programming. ### 5/5 — Neat App - easier than Pluto *2022-02-20, version 1.1.62* I came across Distro TV when I was trying to use Pluto on one of my older devices and it wouldn’t work. So I accidentally cam across Distro TV. The features that jumped out at me were - when you found the channel you are looking for all you have to do is rotate the screen to landscape and it goes full screen without having to do additional tapping. Also it saves the recent channels in an easy to find format like a “Favorites,” except it is called “Recently Played.” While I still use Pluto, but if Distro TV has it as well I go there first because of it’s easiness to play. ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-12-09, version 1.1.61* Think it’s a great app to watch tv channels without any subscription fee. Some very interesting viewing options. ### 5/5 — cool TV app and it’s accessibility. *2021-08-05, version 1.1.61* I love the app so far, but some of the bug/buttons are not labeled at all, which actually can make most of the app totally not accessible for those with visual impairments. But the most amazing thing that I found out about this app, is that you can still watch TV shows from all over the world, including British shows as well, which is my favorite. But I decided to give it a five star review anyway, just in case if I feel good about this app being totally non-accessible for those with Visual impairments. Thank you guys for your service, and I will continue to enjoy the app as much as everyone else does, please continue to make mor future updates to the App for those with visual impairments as well, anyway, thank you for your service. ### 5/5 — Amazing content! *2020-09-17, version 1.1.30* Loads of content, all for FREE! Love it! ### 5/5 — Great *2019-01-27, version 1.0.5* Everything I wanted, all in one place. ### 4/5 — Goodish *2026-03-04, version 1.1.69* Lots to watch. On all platforms, Apple, Roku, others, it needs the option to open with sound muted and the ability to clear recently watched history. ### 4/5 — Love it but *2025-07-20, version 1.1.69* Need battery UI for Live TV like hide channels se don’t want in the list and PIP option. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
