I did everything right. I verified my email and tried to sign in. Of course it says wrong username. It just gave me my email. So like everyone else. I need help and you have to deal with their problems. Not our own. Why in the world do they do this. So. I have a download that I cannot open because there is no one to fix it. Customer service is nonexistent nowadays fed up with it. ### 2/5 — Just not working *2025-09-15, version 3.5.0* I pay for this to access a channel that I like to watch. It is difficult to find channels to watch because they are not in any type of order and I am a person who is blind and this app is not accessible for someone like me. I am using an iPhone with the latest update version and the channel list is not in any particular order and that makes it difficult for me to scroll and find what I'm looking for. It would be easier if the app would allow someone to search for the name or the number of the channel in the search field. ### 2/5 — Slow & Glitchy *2025-09-04, version 3.5.0* Gave FreeCast a try on iPhone and AppleTV. They both are really slow in navigating and most of the streams were glitchy and crashed. ### 4/5 — Lots of improvements have been made *2024-09-09, version 2.8.0* The app has been a bit glitchy in the past, but recent updates have brought it a long way. I’ve started using FreeCast to help me manage my subscriptions and save money, as well as find new shows and movies to watch. What I love about the app is that it’s free and I don’t need to subscribe to anything to watch some of the channels. ### 4/5 — Easy to use - great value *2024-03-15, version 2.7.3* I appreciate the simple access to everything I would want to stream all in one place. I’ve been looking for a way to simplify live streaming and this has been the most user-friendly, affordable one so far. ### 3/5 — App is glitchy *2024-03-10, version 2.7.2* The app is EXTREMELY glitchy! I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall the app on my tv several times for it to work. I’ve had my recorded shows disappear on me when I know that I’ve recorded them and wanted to watch them later. I’ve also clicked on the app to watch a show and it tells me that I have to buy the Value Channels package to watch that particular channel when I had already bought the package months earlier. When the app does work, the shows and channels are good to watch, but when the app is acting up, it gets very frustrating to try to get everything working so you can watch your channels and shows. UPDATE: Still glitchy. I now have about 4 episodes of OP:LIVE that I thought that I had recorded and they are on my “list” that says “recording” when the program is over (like WAAAY over; like 8 hours over) and now I can’t watch them because they didn’t get recorded. And I also can’t erase the “recording” shows that are listed because there is no erase/delete button like there is when you finish watching a recorded program. FreeCast, you better step up on improving/updating the app and getting rid of the glitches and problems with recording shows. It is getting frustrating and annoying not being able to watch your recorded shows (or shows that you *THOUGHT* that you had recorded!). ### 2/5 — Five stars for the content, one star for the app itself. *2024-02-29, version 2.7.2* If you are a fan of outdoor and rural lifestyle programming, Value Channels is the streaming service for you. You get RFD-TV, Cowboy Channel, INSP, FETV/FMC, Pursuit, and all three of the Outdoor Sportsman Group networks. Having all these networks at an affordable price is worth five stars in and of itself. But when you get around to watching them on Apple TV, you end up needing to uninstall and reinstall the app just to switch to a paid channel in the guide. Even if you open the app and it tunes to the last channel you watched, which happens to be a paid channel, switching to another paid channel brings up an error message stating you need to purchase a subscription which you already purchased. The only way to fix this is to uninstall and reinstall the app.. I would appreciate if Value Channels could be turned into an IPTV N3U playlist for GSE Smart IPTV or VLC, because this uninstall and reinstall business is getting really old. ### 5/5 — Finally an app to organize all my streaming services!! *2024-02-29, version 2.7.2* So happy I found this! And happier that o got free live channels, so now I can use Freecast for watching all in just on app! ### 4/5 — I think this app has a lot of potential *2024-02-28, version 2.7.2* this an up-and-coming streaming app with a lot of potential. It offers a wide range of content, including movies, TV shows, and live sports. Some users have praised its user-friendly interface and the ability to stream on multiple devices. However, like any new app, there may be some bugs or limitations that need to be ironed out. It's always a good idea to read reviews and try it out for yourself to see if it meets your streaming needs. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-02-28, version 2.7.2* I will recommend it to my friends ### 4/5 — FreeCast *2024-02-28, version 2.7.2* Nice to have all of your subscriptions in one place. Can’t wait to try it!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nothing here that you want to see *2026-06-06, version 3.6.3* Hundred of niche channels you’ve never heard of. The list of channels makes it look as though you can see major league baseball games, but all you get are betting sites for them. This is free, and you get what you pay for. ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE! *2026-05-07, version 3.6.0* Kept telling me my information was wrong when it was correct this app is terrible please never download it again ### 1/5 — Terrible sign in *2026-05-02, version 3.6.0* The sign in process with Apple TV is so bad. I have decided to cancel my subscription. ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever! *2026-02-15, version 3.5.7* This app sucks! ### 1/5 — Worst Service ever *2025-12-13, version 3.5.3* I have the value package to watch reelz and it usually take me 15min to get freecast to work properly. Just says Loading. I’ve deleted it and redownload it 100 times. This service SUCKS ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2025-06-05, version 3.4.3* Unable to figure out how to use this app. Terrible interface. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2025-05-25, version 3.4.2* Worst app created it made my Roku glitch so bad I had to buy a new one this app should be deleted and so should you ### 1/5 — Use Edge or Chrome? *2024-04-14, version 2.7.4* You have developed an app for an Apple device that won’t run in Safari very well? I don’t understand, please write the app for the platform you wish to be on. ### 1/5 — Will not stream OP Live *2024-03-09, version 2.7.2* FreeCast channels work fine. Paid extra for Value Channels to watch OP Live. That one channel freezes up every 30s, but only on my Apple products (AppleTV 4K, iPad and iPhone, on both wireless and direct connect). Works ok on Windows PC. Strange that it only happens on that channel, but it must be streamed differently. Have gone back and forth with tech support for weeks, but they have no idea. Looks like I’ll cancel. ### 1/5 — This thing just keeps getting worse *2024-02-24, version 2.7.2* Do yourself a favor developers and just scrap it and start all over. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Free *2026-04-17, version 3.5.9* One single episode of one old show was available. Another has 5 seasons! Awesome and I have never paid a penny. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-11-25, version 3.1.1* The app is awesome and the value channels service is great too. I do have a concern about payment options as it is only a card option. For someone like me PayPal should be included in the options because it is more convenient and secure than using a card. Especially these days. Keep up the good work with the app. I even have the ability to use the app on Roku now that your app is available on Roku. ### 5/5 — Amazinggg *2024-03-18, version 2.7.3* Easy to use and amazing new shows ### 5/5 — Excelente! *2024-03-15, version 2.7.3* Buena selección de películas cristianas! ### 5/5 — A sublime application *2024-03-14, version 2.7.3* ⭐️ ### 5/5 — Nice! *2024-03-14, version 2.7.3* After using the updated version of this app, I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to find what your looking for. There’s channels on here for everyone! ### 5/5 — Chelle *2024-03-04, version 2.7.2* Awesome app! Love having all my streaming in one app! Ver user friendly ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2024-03-02, version 2.7.2* What I love most about this app is that it offers a wide range of content, including movies, TV shows, and live sports. ### 5/5 — Conveniente App *2024-02-29, version 2.7.2* If you want to have control of all your television entertainment, this application is the solution. Live channels and all your subscriptions in the same place. And best of all, it's free ### 5/5 — New to the app *2024-02-29, version 2.7.2* I haven’t had any issues so far, I like how I have all my apps in one area and being able to switch from one to another --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
