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. ### 1/5 — Update is not user friendly *2021-01-30, version 5.0.0* The content is awesome! The new app upgrade is just not friendly, cannot scroll through the channels or broadcast to my TV. ### 4/5 — Falta pouco p 5 ✨ *2020-09-12, version 4.4.0* Ótimo app mas por favor deixe reproduzir com o telefone bloqueado! Podemos ouvir assim como podcast. Ademais, antigamente era mais prático trocar de canal. ### 3/5 — Keine Steuerung über Bildschirm möglich. *2020-08-15, version 4.4.0* Ich nutze IPhone 6s und IPad Air 2. Auf beiden Geräten ist in der App keine Möglichkeit vorhanden das laufende Video zu pausieren, zu spulen oder zu stoppen. Um das Video anzuhalten, muss ich die App komplett beenden. ### 3/5 — Same problem here *2019-12-14, version 4.2.1* Everyone I click the app I already downloaded it sends back to the App Store to do as if new. Distracting from my thought process of the lesson.Love to watch HSS I’m home bound now from my class this makes me feel a little more connected to a group. Even at twice their age. ### 2/5 — Having difficulty with this new app *2019-08-03, version 4.2.1* Hope Sabbath School worked much better than this app. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Review *2019-07-06, version 4.2.1* It’s a mess and like the other review. You hit hope channel it goes right back to beginning to get. Clean up the site make it easy to find Hope. What happened to Hope Channel? Why so hard? Waste of time to deal with all the rest. Sloppy 🤷‍♀️ ### 4/5 — Reloading?? Would give 5 starts but issues *2019-05-31, version 4.2.1* Downloaded this app about a month ago. Love the content. But this week every time I try to open the app it’s sending me back to the app store and I have to open it from there. I deleted it and reinstalled it and I’m still have the same problem. Please fix this ! ### 4/5 — Endlich fürs iPhone X angepasst *2019-05-08, version 4.2.1* Wobei die Versionsbeschreibung des aktuellen Updates offenbar ein Witz sein soll. „So oft wie möglich aktualisiert.“ Aller halben Jahre sind nicht so oft wie möglich. Ansonsten schön, das die App nun endlich auf dem Stand von vor 2 Jahren ist. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — App streamt nicht mehr live *2022-06-22, version 5.0.12* Live Streaming in der App funktioniert nicht mehr nach letzten Updates, auf keinem meiner Apple Geräte unter IOS (aktuellste Version)!!! pls help! Streamen aus der Mediathek ist nach wie vor fehlerfrei möglich,Danke! ### 1/5 — Download *2022-04-17, version 5.0.12* Download material cannot be accessed offline. ### 1/5 — Wont connect to internet *2021-12-04, version 5.0.11* Can you post a URL to an older app version download link so I can install it in iOS ipad mini 2? I have an older ipad mini 2 and even though the app download suggests an older download when it does install it loads then goes to downloaded files stating cant connect to internet at top of screen. Worked for years now issues connecting to internet. Assume it didnt load last stable version for older iOS...can i get a new app link for iOS 12? Hmmmm...sad listenng in safari hope tv url isnt so easy as an app...sad that I have to nstall AdvenTV app to watch hope tv channel... ### 1/5 — Eigentlich gut. *2021-04-02, version 5.0.3* Verzögerungen zwischen Tv Zu App live Ausstrahlung zu groß. App braucht zu lange hoch zu laden. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-03-06, version 5.0.3* I was very disappointed when I couldn’t watch Hope TV with the new app. We used to watch it every Saturday morning. Is it possible to access the older app for people with older devices? ### 1/5 — No longer working on older version *2021-02-05, version 5.0.1* App says no internet connection , but there is ### 1/5 — Hope channel *2021-02-04, version 5.0.1* Don’t know what you done with this update especially app was working now won’t even load open now fix it deleted app was five now app not opening loading now till fixed last update now not loading loading it’s was working perfect why update when it was working not now fixed it or louse customers deleted app download again same issue deleted app not working now since update worked yesterday today update not working ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Roku TV *2021-07-26, version 5.0.7* I can no longer open the HC app on my Roku TV. Is there something wrong? What should I do? I regularly watch Hope channel on my TV, but now it just looks like is is downloading and it never opens. ### 5/5 — Fabulous station *2019-10-05, version 4.2.1* I find this station to be a wonderful family wholeheartedly station . It has something for all ages. If you want the truth and bible based teachings. Hope station has it all. All programs teaches you good teachings about Jesus, health, awesome programs about life and every day biblical teachings. I recommend this station to all who wants to learn and grow in the Lord.
