Good reception, full wifi, so who knows why? Seems that live tv is the only thing that actually works. 😩 ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-07-07, version 6.7.5* Keeps giving playback error PE8000 for no reason. Have tried to delete and reinstall app and still doesn’t work. Useless app ### 1/5 — Never able to access *2026-06-30, version 6.7.5* Terrible access issues. Access consistently denied. When app allows you in, you’ll find you’re still unable to watch/cast anything. The worst I have signed up for yet! ### 1/5 — subscription *2026-06-27, version 6.7.5* i am so disappointed in this streaming platform! i’m trying to cancel my subscription and cannot i’ve contacted multiple times and am still waiting for a response! it ridiculous and for the amount of money people are paying to stream, it should be so easy and accessible to cancel at anytime as that’s what it claims to be able to do! ### 1/5 — Poorly design *2026-06-24, version 6.7.5* Where the double tap rewind or fast flowed we pay a premium for this and it’s a dated app! Hurry up and update your app already or I’m walking! Sold me the dream but delivered a nightmare! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2026-05-28, version 6.7.5* Foxtel are just treating their customers with contempt with this app. Reviews going back years complain about lack of PIP and skip forward/back functionality and unreliability. ### 1/5 — Region restrictions *2026-05-27, version 6.7.5* How Foxtel restricts their Foxtel Go users from using the app is counterproductive because it allows other apps users have on their phones to spy on them. They should restrict the ISP rather than restrict where the user is accessing the app from, for example if the user is using an Australian ISP such as Telstra or Optus they should be able to access Foxtel Go, but if they’re using BT then they are restricted from accessing Foxtel Go on their phones. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-05-17, version 6.7.5* Despicable app that hasn’t changed in years. Streaming constantly lagging, bugs when trying to watch on demand, having to click in and out multiple times to watch replays. Can’t believe how much they charge ### 1/5 — What the hell is the layout *2026-05-11, version 6.7.5* Playing stuff back is exhausting ### 1/5 — Constant outages *2026-05-03, version 6.7.5* Had to cancel my subscription after woeful experiences with this app and their support team. ### 1/5 — Keeps freezing *2026-05-02, version 6.7.5* What’s wrong with your app? Why do the channels keep freezing. Fix it ### 1/5 — Fix the add issue!! *2026-04-08, version 6.7.5* This ridiculously obvious glitch has become a nuisance especially considering how much we pay for foxtel!! App crashes every time there’s an add coincidentally forcing you to watch repeated adds to get it to work again. Put on as many adds as you like!!! This nefarious little work around is a joke!! ### 1/5 — Scammers *2026-03-19, version 6.7.5* Foxtel advertised a free trail and took my money same day. Support was unhelpful and wasted my time. Don’t use this service. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-03-18, version 6.7.5* No PIP play and just all around garbage app. Also has adds and is expensive for the end product ### 1/5 — No Foxtel app for Apple TV *2026-03-17, version 6.7.5* How ridiculous! ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time *2026-03-15, version 6.7.5* trash ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2026-09-18, version 6.7.10* Piece of proverbial you know what. Every other app can hdmi to a tv other than this stupid thing. Creator should be imprisoned. ### 1/5 — PiP yeah nahh… *2026-09-11, version 6.7.10* no PiP in 2026 really foxtel?! 😵‍💫 ### 1/5 — Disgraceful *2026-09-09, version 6.7.10* All it does it glitch. It’s 2026. Embarrassing ### 1/5 — No channel change possible! *2026-09-05, version 6.7.10* Nice to have app to watch on the go. For the high price of sub you'd expect a full feature app. Critical issue - can't change channels when watching in landscape- surely arrow in either direction would be east. Second- audio will not remain on when minimised so can't browse other things when listening to news etc. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-09-04, version 6.7.10* Absolutely horrible company. On mobile you can’t make the player smaller and use other apps at the same time, I was paying $50+ a month, they put pre roll ads which I hated but tolerated. Now they are having ads in the middle of on demand series episodes just at random times. Worst paid show service around. ### 1/5 — Still worst streaming app *2026-08-18, version 6.7.5* As always, foxtel’s disdain for their customers knows no bounds. Despite an avalanche of 1-star reviews, the technical issues persist. I literally can’t watch a thing. Playback Error PE8000 is all I get for my subscription fee, and silence from Tech Support. ### 1/5 — Keeps freezing during ads… must be on purpose *2026-08-10, version 6.7.5* The amount of times the app freezes on the tag line of a commercial….is pretty much 100% off the time. Do you want people to keep watching your app? Because you’ve made it impossible to watch it. So myself like many other people are turning off in droves ### 1/5 — Hopeless *2026-08-09, version 6.7.5* This used to be a great App but now it struggles to show LIVE SPORT for more than 10 seconds at a time. RUBBISH 😵‍💫😤 ### 1/5 — Foxtel *2026-08-02, version 6.7.5* Don’t bother with Foxtel and their apps. Even though they charge a fortune, Foxtel are too cheap to hire developers to fix up this mess. Time for Foxtel to stop being so cheap and instead hire developers who know how to build a decent streaming app. Might save you some customers from leaving ### 1/5 — Unreliable & Error Riddled *2026-08-01, version 6.7.5* Buggy and constant drop outs viewing live sport. This review comes after using the app for over 5 years and it has consistently failed to provide a reliable and smooth viewing experience ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Surprisingly good *2026-09-08, version 6.7.10* Given all the one star reviews I almost didn’t download the app, but I’m glad I did. I haven’t experienced any issues, and I find the channel grouping and selection design of the app borderline excellent to use (I actually prefer it to the set-top box version). I never expected to give Foxtel a 5 star rating, so there you go! ### 5/5 — Kim *2026-04-30, version 6.7.5* Foxtel go ### 4/5 — Works Well *2026-01-08, version 6.7.1* Love the app as it works well and is amazing but it does not show all complete episodes and seasons of TV shows sometimes. ### 4/5 — Bug fixes needed *2025-12-15, version 6.7.1* Most channels showing on iPhone except for gbnews. iPad all channels working except some news channels. iOS and iPadOS 26.2 ### 4/5 — Hard to use *2025-09-01, version 6.6.2* Please add the pop out feature, I just want to watch my shows while doing other things on my devices. ### 4/5 — Pls install a 10 sec skip & TV Sync *2022-11-18* The app is pretty good these days. Have no issues finding & playing what I want, except it doesn’t sync with the TV app so I can’t just swap easily from watching on TV to my phone. I have to remember which episode I was up to & find it manually which is a pain. Also desperately needs a 10 sec Skip forward & back feature so if you missed something or want to skip something (like the opening credits which I’ve seen 1000 times 🙄) you can. Also... ADS??? Seriously Foxtel? For the most expensive movie/TV channel already? And now you’re making us watch 30 sec ads??? Not cool! ### 3/5 — Needs an Apple TV app *2025-09-10, version 6.6.2* The app is ok I guess. I just wish I could download it onto my Apple TV devices instead of having to do the screen mirroring thing which is clunky at best. ### 3/5 — Inefficient app processes- app suggestion for improvement *2020-07-27* When moving, for example from the end of one movie on Netflix to the next, you have to exit the movie and go to the next. I would suggest if possible a feature that makes it easy to click the next movie. Like a easy flow on instead of the screen pausing on the tv, having to disconnect google chrome then connect again on the new movie. Also when using google home at night, if you turn the tv off but don’t pause the movie or turn chrome cast off, the app will keep the movie playing over the network. I am not really sure why my phone stayed connected, maybe the set or processes I used to put my phone to sleep on charge still connected to wifi with the app still open ( Not a computer Tech) This caused me to miss work because my iPhone alarms didn’t sound as the phone was still connected to the tv. over the wifi or something. To be honest I am not sure why it happens but i think there is some sort of processes that can be edited within a software update to fix this. ### 2/5 — No fast forward option !!! *2026-07-11, version 6.7.5* It’s a shame there’s no fast forward button because there’s so many good shows on offer. Playback is difficult open takin me back to the beginning so it makes it hard watching long sporting events like F1. Currently on the free 10 day trial and trying to watch the main event but it won’t let me order it until I pay my bill and I can’t pay my bill until the 10 day trial is over. Oh well welcome back Kayo. ### 2/5 — Can’t AIRPLAY *2026-06-15, version 6.7.5* Whenever there is an ad in the show it drops out from airplay and takes me back to the start. I then have to guess where I’m at on the time bar. Also it’s mega slow just to watch on the iPad. You get the circle of death at every selection that you don’t get on any other streaming service. Lastly, for now, if you are going to force ads on people switch them up. I’ve changed companies after getting the same ad 20 times and feeling a hatred towards that ad --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
