### 1/5 — Hit or Miss streaming

*2026-01-22, version 5.2.5*

This app when working is terrific but it often is not! A lot of buffering  unfortunately even though they “fixed” this I thought in 2025… wish someone in their tech support team would monitor this app or review comments more often to catch this.

### 1/5 — Lots of issues

*2025-05-08*

Needs to be updated, many issues as the schedule/time of programs off by 19 minutes, distorted images and programs frozen in the middle of broadcasts

### 5/5 — Amazing Channel

*2025-02-07, version 5.2.2*

Hope Channel North America is a great broadcast. It’s been a lifesaver. The app works great. The Christian content is very good. Thank you for making this channel! I especially like Unhooked. I think this channel should be on mainstream cable to make it accessible to all!

### 5/5 — Hope at Night

*2024-06-29, version 5.1.7*

I love the Hope At Night program.  The guests are very interesting and the host does a great job. Thanks. Keep it up!  Ann in Washington state

### 1/5 — Bugs aren’t fix

*2024-04-13, version 5.1.5*

I agree with the sda message and all the stuff that I’ve watched on this This app is only allowing me to watch what’s live on the channel and I can no longer go to the different fonts to watch what I wanna watch. It’s bugged out that you fix this bug please thank you.

### 2/5 — Keine Suchfunktion

*2024-02-04, version 5.1.2*

Sehr Schade, dass es keine Suchfunktion gibt. Man muss lange durchstöbern, bis man - vielleicht - das Gesuchte findet.

### 3/5 — App problems

*2023-06-24*

I have the app downloaded on both tv’s but continuously have problems with it stopping or restarting multiple times during a show.  It’s most frustrating and sad.  It works fine on my phone though. (I don’t have any other problems with other apps.)

### 2/5 — Unable to Cast to TV

*2023-02-05, version 5.1.0*

I cannot cast Hope Channel from my iPad Mini to LG TV even when settings are correctly configured and I can successfully cast other Apps.

### 2/5 — Live tv freezes

*2022-10-17, version 5.0.12*

I love the programming.  If you watch on demand, it’s fine, but the live tv feed goes out all the time.  I hope they come out with a new version soon.

### 4/5 — Good app!

*2022-08-06, version 5.0.12*

Thanks for the app. Enjoy every sabbath morning while getting ready for church. So much easier thank fighting with my browser on my iPhone.
