### 2/5 — What the hell am l paying for

*2024-07-10, version 2.0.42*

No ITV, No Really, cannot record.
Not worth the money

### 2/5 — Wish it worked more consistently

*2022-09-08, version 2.0.42*

We pay €20 a month. When it works it is great but everyday ITV freezes or the sound goes off or we don’t get anything at all. Nothing to do with the wifi as we have brilliant wifi at home. FilmOn need to look at what they’re charging and the actual service you’re paying for

### 1/5 — Film on

*2022-07-06, version 2.0.42*

Plays for 30 seconds then demands an expensive subscription.  Don’t waste your time with this money-grabbing app.

### 1/5 — Virtually unusable after 6pm in Canada

*2021-05-14, version 2.0.39*

The last few updates, possibly unrelated, after 6pm circa midnight UK, the service slows to a crawl constantly stopping to buffer for 2-4 mins then you might get a couple of minutes of viewing, then it stalls again. Not worth the cost.

### 3/5 — Aufnahme geht gut, Live TV nicht mehr

*2021-04-15, version 2.0.39*

Leider kann man nicht mehr Live TV schauen, SD hat mir gereicht, Werbung stört mich nicht. Jetzt kann man nurnoch Ganzheit live schauen und soll dann über die Website zahlen, dass das nicht als Abo über den App Store ist für mich ein Kriterium, es nicht zu buchen. 

Was allerdings (noch) geht ist die Aufnahme einer Sendung. Weil ich sowieso nur eine einzige Sendung schauen will kann ich ganz praktisch aufnehmen lassen und dann später schauen. Das funktioniert super und dafür gibt’s von mir 3 Sterne ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2021-02-06, version 2.0.39*

Expensive and cynical. TVMucho is a third of the price. I've deleted this app.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-11-16, version 2.0.39*

Useless app. Not free

### 1/5 — Cuts out after 2 mins after purchasing subscription!

*2020-10-19, version 2.0.39*

This does not give you confidence!

### 1/5 — Don’t use you have to pay a subscription

*2020-10-09, version 2.0.39*

Used to be a great tv app, all free now you get 25 seconds of view time then you get a pop up screen telling you to go on the website to purchase a subscription and it pauses the screen so you can’t play it without paying now a rubbish app I won’t be using again until the developer takes away the subscription and makes it free again

### 1/5 — Och nee

*2020-09-17, version 2.0.39*

Völlig sinnlos...nur 2min schauen, was soll das bringen...

### 1/5 — TV guide for UK

*2020-09-04, version 2.0.39*

It used to be good for recording UK programs, but now the only point is to look up UK programs as if it's a TV guide. Otherwise, this app went to hell years ago and customer service is non-existent.

It appears to be a front for collecting money from people who are unaware that no service will be provided.

### 1/5 — Sick of reloading channels!

*2020-07-21, version 2.0.39*

I am really totally fed up of having to reload a UK television channel that has either disappeared from the screen or frozen.

The idea behind you (pay to view) service was excellent but in truth it i# a daily pain in the ass for which we have to pay!

Either get your act-into gear and do your job professionally or close the system down and let somebody who know’s what they are doing run it. In this digital age you are a disaster!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t actually work anymore. No channels load

*2026-06-29, version 2.0.42*

App is cooked. Don’t bother downloading.

### 1/5 — Airplay stopped working

*2025-04-02, version 2.0.42*

It seems since the last Apple update the app doesn’t work with AirPlay anymore. This app desperately needs updating but I won’t hold out any hope. My advice don’t pay for the service

### 1/5 — How do I cancel?

*2024-10-03, version 2.0.42*

### 1/5 — ITV uk

Why has this channel disappeared from the tv listings?

### 1/5 — Never ending buffering

*2022-09-27, version 2.0.42*

Fake! Just ads you can see, nothing else, i tried tv channels, but after ads you shoud register.
