### 2/5 — Awful App

*2026-03-17*

This is the worst streaming app I have ever seen. The interface is terrible, it doesn’t remember where you were, it doesn’t remember which episode you last watched, and it has no real fast forward function. I was really excited about finding a gay movie app, but this one is absolutely awful. I wish I could get my money back for my two year subscription. Save your money and find some other gay movie app.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2025-06-11, version 2.14*

This app's current version constantly crashes. I am about to click the episode to watch when the app crashes, making it unusable.

### 2/5 — Content unavailable

*2025-02-18, version 2.12*

For the past week or maybe longer the app has been saying currently content unavailable.

### 2/5 — Can’t watch anything app won’t connect to my account

*2024-05-24*

Been paying for this app, watched a few episodes of a show. Tried to log in and the app says I’m not a subscriber. I pay $7.99 a month for nothing, I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled this horrible app. I just want to watch the shows and the movies, but can’t cause it doesn’t work so I’ll stop paying and watch something else!

### 2/5 — Clunky interface

*2024-03-11, version 2.6*

The user interface is vastly inferior to every other AppleTV app I have used. The swipe is in the opposite direction from the rest of the operating system. I am unable to turn off captions for some reason. Were I to do it again, I’d have subscribed through Amazon to get a more workable UI

### 2/5 — Improve!

*2024-02-19*

Exceptionally annoying app, especially on my Samsung TV. I’ve gotten an error message that I’m exceeding the two-device streaming limit, but I only have the app on my iPad and the TV, and I don’t use them at the same time, so what??? Then if you use the back button, it asks you if you want to exit and when you choose yes, it logs you out of the app and you have to log back in, which is really irritating. If you’re watching a series and stop to watch something else, when you are ready to resume watching, it defaults to the beginning of the series instead of where you left off. Seriously, I’m sorry I paid for an annual subscription, because I probably would have dropped it already due to how user-UNFRIENDLY it is. C’mon, girls, you can do better!

### 3/5 — Addressing some concerns

*2023-12-27*

I went out on a limb to try something new. At first I was intrigued and a kind of excited when I found out about this streaming service. It would be nice if all of the episodes of the series was available or give notice when the next upcoming episodes will be available. I started a series that has six episodes available, I’m thinking ok this might be a good watch. Approximately three minutes into the first episode it’s ends.  Each episode are about twenty minutes or more. I tried to restart them but once it ends the app would go directly to the next episode.

### 3/5 — Bring back 10 second fwd and rewind!

*2023-06-29, version 2.3*

The latest update removed the 10 second fast forward and rewind feature. This is a must have for streaming services. Please bring it back ASAP.

### 3/5 — Buggy with subscription plan

*2020-12-23*

This time closed captioning  finally more feature font size. Only things I concern with subscription not work when Apple ID sign in. I try to subscription monthly and pop up error with existing user ID after I cancel and wait serval days. Already process this user is on subscription list on Apple App Store. I sign out this app and restore purchase without problem then I try Sign In with Apple ID said existing other same Apple ID user after subscription.  I have Apple TV but I try use for Roku in other room or web browser on computer said need subscription and I paid for that through iOS Here Tv app.

### 3/5 — Imposible to play

*2020-12-13, version 1.6*

I haven’t Ben able to plant anything since the last week. Some is wrong with the app

### 3/5 — I have  question ?

*2020-11-10, version 1.5*

Hi, do the movies have Spanish translations or do they have Spanish subtitles?, If you don't have them, do you plan to place it later?

### 2/5 — Not working properly

*2020-05-20, version 1.2*

When I try to look at the movies A-Z it gets to the movie “Antarctica” and that’s the end. Missing a whole lot of alphabet.  😡

### 2/5 — Ok

*2020-01-13*

The shows and movies on the app are great. But about a week in to my first months subscriptions I couldn’t stream anything. It would say “unable to fetch data.” And it’s been like that for most of the time I’ve had it so I haven’t been able to watch anything. I emailed the support address and sent a screenshot of what it was doing and they have yet to respond. I will not be renewing the subscription since it is not letting me watch anything.

### 3/5 — Help!

*2019-11-02, version 1.1*

So I just downloaded this app, I really liked a clip of a show that’s on here. Buttt after reading all of these reviews I’m nervous to just put my debit info on here since I already have Netflix, prime, and Hulu. Paying another 7/9 dollars a month I need to know that all of these bugs were fixed. I don’t want to subscribe and not like it and then unsubscribe and continue to get billed. So if anyone can comment and let me know I’d really appreciate it. I’m giving this 3 stars because I can’t post this review without selecting a star. I don’t want to give it a 5 cause I can’t really give honest feedback yet. I didn’t wanna give it a1 because then it would screw up there ranking.

### 1/5 — Regret paying for a month

*2019-10-22, version 1.1*

Every show I tried it would freeze a minutes min and not continue. I want my money back!!!

### 2/5 — Can’t watch

*2019-10-16, version 1.1*

I’ve been paying for Here TV and can’t even watch certain movies they will not load I’m about to unsubscribe and find a different app.

### 1/5 — No no no

*2019-09-17, version 1.1*

Piece of sh..t

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Fix this mess

*2024-06-18*

This review has nothing to do with the content of the platform. No problem there. 

This app itself, however, is horrendous. Every single time I open the app and try to watch something a pop up appears and asks me “love this app?” And every time I click NO it then asks if I want to talk to customer service. Again, my answer is no. What I want is to watch the content I paid for. 

As if that wasn’t annoying enough, the app also CONSTANTLY logs you out. Every time I open it, regardless of which device I’m using, and after I answer that annoying aforementioned prompt, I then have to log in all over again before I can watch anything. 

It’s ridiculous. It’s annoying. Y’all aren’t the only LGBT streaming service in the game. Maybe I’ll give OUT or Dekkoo my money instead.

### 1/5 — A horrible app

*2024-01-31, version 2.5*

The content is horrible, mostly foreign language 15 minute short stories. The controls are also unresponsive on my iPad .
I really dislike whatever this is very much.
Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Would love to use the app

*2023-08-16, version 2.4*

Would love to use the app on my phone but the only part of the screen i can see anything on is the login or log out screen =_= the rest of it is just a blank black screen

### 1/5 — Don’t even

*2022-12-29*

Impossible to cancel your subscription with these people. No telephone support. Hideous customer service. I tried to cancel 6 months into the subscription, and I have pages and pages of “we’ll get back to you” emails. Still fighting with my credit card company 3 months after they said they resolved it. I canceled because the programming was marginal at best. Run away from these scammers.

### 1/5 — Horrible App, Terrible Customer Service

*2022-03-23*

The Here TV app has never worked properly on Apple TV for me. Nine times out of 10, the tiles in the app are blank (no pictures associated with them or descriptions) and sometimes not clickable. So when the app opens, you see faceless boxes that won’t open.  I have to reboot my Apple TV for the content to come back, but that doesn’t always work.

I tried cancelling my annual subscription having asked for a refund, but it’s been 3 weeks with no resolution in sight. I’ve followed up 3 times with no word from the initial representative who forwarded my email to the billing group.  This really saddens me because while there is value in the content, it’s now overshadowed by this negative experience.

So, I’ve paid for an app that works maybe 65% of the time.  So, I don’t even bother opening it any longer. For an app called “HERE” TV, they’ve been anything but.

I’m really not a hater, and I rarely write reviews.  But, I had to say something!  If you’re considering to purchase this app, be forewarned!  In fairness, the app does work in a browser environment. I’ve had no issues watching content on my iPad via Safari.  But, I purchased the app to watch on my TV.  Is that too much to expect from an app called Here TV?

### 1/5 — No FF or Rewind

*2022-03-22, version 1.7*

Can’t fast forward or rewind. Enough said. Also content is kind of eh and times when it won’t work at all.

### 1/5 — Fraud

*2021-06-23, version 1.6*

This app showed up out of no where in my phone. I deleted it then all of a sudden got hit with a renewal fee.  I have never even heard of Here TV.  No way to request a refund either.  Beware

### 1/5 — Won’t sync with Amazon

*2021-05-02, version 1.6*

Doesn’t sync with Amazon so I can’t watch on my iPhone. 
Tells me to log-in when I am already
I followed their troubleshooting guidelines but it still didn’t fix the problem

### 1/5 — Worst customer service

*2020-11-29, version 1.6*

Many back and forth to explain the same issue which never got resolved.  Support did not even bother to read info provided on issue!
After several requests, I just gave up.  Definitely not a recommendation to get here tv if you expect any support

### 1/5 — A  Big Disappointment

*2020-03-12, version 1.2*

Was very good at one stage, didn’t have Global restrictions for awhile after the app redesign, now back. 
Sick of getting emails about new shows/movies that only shows Error 404 each time you hit the link. So not much new to watch.  A few docos. 
Am in Australia and for the expensive price of the subscription (we always seem to get the raw prawn down under) will not be renewing this year. 
A pity, as I liked a lot of the shows that I could watch.

### 5/5 — New Subscribers

*2023-07-01*

We have not seen a movie or documentary yet that hasn’t moved us. It is so nice to have a service that we can identify with with stories that relate to our lives. Glad you offered free access during June so that we could see what we were missing.

### 5/5 — Content

*2020-04-06, version 1.2*

I’ve enjoyed the app but feels like the content is a bit outdated five stars regardless!

### 5/5 — Come onnn!

*2019-06-01, version 1.0.10*

This app didn’t let me name myself “Sharkisha Watermelondria” And I’m outraged🙄

### 5/5 — Subscription

*2019-01-21, version 1.0.10*

Where do you enter the subscription code?

### 5/5 — Ross it

*2018-12-09, version 1.0.10*

Great films just wish you had a larger gay film selection I enjoy this app very much just give us more of the best films as you already do keep up the great work

### 5/5 — I LOVE Here TV.

*2018-12-03, version 1.0.10*

I LOVE Here TV.

### 5/5 — Great LGBT movie and series format.

*2018-10-23, version 1.0.10*

I watch every chance I gat. I can't afford a subscription so I watch the free shows and movies.

### 5/5 — Great collection!!!

*2017-07-04, version 1.0.5*

Lots of great movies and shows to watch! The app works well also.  Looking forward to seeing what you guys add next.

### 4/5 — No way to download to iPad

*2025-03-28, version 2.13*

I don’t see any way to download series episodes or movies to a device, my iPad in my case. Want to watch while flying.

### 4/5 — Need on Apple TV!

*2018-11-13*

Oh yeah, did I mention we really need to see this on Apple TV. I think it might open a lot of folks eyes as to what we’ve been through personally. The big screen is a thing since I only have iOS iPhone 7+. And 4K would be awesome to have that available. Great work guys!
