### 1/5 — I’ve never been this disappointed

*2024-02-09, version 2.0*

After subscribing for a week the app stopped working, I was promised to it will start working soon waited for months only for the app to start working and I was unable to login I have to search all mails just to prove my subscription and account which was no longer on the system. Now I have to request for refund and resubscribe with twice the amount before I can use the app. Am really not impressed this time. They should have been a way to make up for months of waiting instead of this stress. Now I can’t trust them enough to subscribe.

### 1/5 — No updates

*2023-12-01, version 1.8.4*

It’s Been months I can’t access my account in the Uk. No updates has also been available as there’s been old movies for months

### 1/5 — Not interesting anymore

*2023-09-25, version 1.8.4*

I noticed from my previous subscription and even the current one that IROKOtv doesn’t upload new movies for its subscribers. I will not subscribe again to IROKOtv once my current subscription expires. Since the beginning of my current subscription, i have not seen any movie on IROKOtv. Just waited my money for nothing.

### 1/5 — Trying to create an account and they are not sending the pin

*2023-09-08, version 1.8.4*

Trying to create an account and they are not sending pin

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-09-05, version 1.8.4*

Don’t bother downloading or subscribing. They just take your money and upload nothing. Since January 2023 they have only upload 4 movies and we are in September already. Waste of money, time and space

### 1/5 — Do not subscribe

*2023-09-02, version 1.8.4*

IROKOtv has not uploaded any new movies in months yet continues to charge recurring fees. They are not forthcoming about what is happening and why no new movies are available. Do not subscribe

### 1/5 — Awful

*2023-08-17, version 1.8.4*

This app has not updated with anything new in over 5months. Very disappointed and its literally a useless app. Because they keep changing membership tariffs.

### 3/5 — Question

*2023-08-02, version 1.8.4*

What is going on? Why haven’t new movies been uploaded? Funds have been removed from my account, but I no longer see value in what I’m paying for.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-08-01, version 1.8.4*

Paid for 3 months and have not seen any new movie uploaded. I am compelled to keep rewatching old movies.

### 1/5 — IROKOtv is Trash!!!!

*2023-07-26, version 1.8.4*

They don’t upload any new movie. Don’t waste your money!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2023-07-01*

Terrible app. No rewind no pause no fast forward. This app hasn’t had an update in God knows how long to meet up updates in phones and computers. Just outdated forget bout casting on your tv complete nightmare  . They clearly don’t care. At this point il be taking my money elsewhere. I can’t go on with the torture. If you mistakingly press a button that’s it u have to start d movie all over again. Not to talk of them rarely uploading movies anymore. There’s no order in which de load movies is it monthly bimonthly weekly which is it. Tired and out. Why not go tru the proper thing and add it on Apple TV lesser african apps are on there. Just sick of it

### 1/5 — Highly dissatisfied

*2023-06-05, version 1.8.4*

This app was really great when I got it years back but now they have this new update that only upload one movie every month, which is not fair because I pay for 3 months subscription and all I get is 3 movies for $16. That’s straight up robbery, and the height of unprofessionalism.

### 3/5 — Love the service but app needs help

*2023-05-27*

I absolutely love the service and selection but the app hasn’t worked properly in over a year. When I’m watching something and exit the app, I can’t pick back up where I left off. If a pause a movie, the app gets stuck and I have to start over. I can’t rewind or fast forward without app issues. The app issue’s significantly take away from the amazing content this service has to offer.

### 1/5 — Scammers!

*2023-01-16, version 1.8.4*

I did the five thousand naira yearly subscription, paid with my card, I was debited, I logged into my account to watch movies, it requested me to pay again. I called their customer care, they refereed me to use the live chat on their website of which I did. To my greatest surprised I was asked to send them the email linked to my bank account, last 4 digit of my atm card and the expiration date in other to track my transactions. 

Please guys stay away from these scammers

### 1/5 — Update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*2023-01-15, version 1.8.4*

The best way to enjoy this app is not AirPlaying and not screen mirroring from your Apple devices but from the IROKOtv app on Apple TV and and it’s been out of date going on 4yrs. It’s glitchy, very buggy and unstable. I’ve been  your customer for over 5yrs so please get your app developers to update it.

### 1/5 — Scam and Fraud

*2022-12-15, version 1.8.4*

Make sure you never use a Current bank details cos they gonna keep taken your money out behind you.

### 4/5 — Love the movies, but tired of deleting and reinstalling app

*2022-10-24, version 1.8.4*

The app is always freezing up on me. The only way to fix it is to delete and reinstall the app to use it. 

Any suggestions? Other than that, I absolutely love the movies.

### 1/5 — Terrible might even be scam

*2025-02-04, version 2.0*

I love to watch African movies so I paid for one month subscription to see what this app is all about. Well how disappointing. I was able to use it on my Samsung TV once and now it will not work. I have tried several times to airplay and the app does not show any of my devices which are all on the same network. I have tried all the instructions that were suggested to get the app to work and still unsuccessful. I tried to contact them through the app and each time I hit send it says error. Do not waste your time. It looks like I can only watch it on my phone and I wanted to watch it through my TV. Guess I will stick to youtube, Prime and Netflix to watch African movies since they work with no issues.🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-11-17, version 2.0*

I paid for a years subscription and I cannot watch a single movie. Like the app absolutely does not work. This is terrible and this app should be taken down from the store

### 1/5 — Disappointing Change in subscription

*2024-07-24, version 2.0*

Now you want to charge premium for a substandard app? Take a look at the flawless functionality of Netflix and learn from it before you start charging same as Netflix. We would love to support an African App but not when it’s a rip off.
Anyway most of these movies are available on Netflix. Not convincing at all!

### 1/5 — So disappointed

*2024-07-08, version 2.0*

Sign up with this website to watch African movie pay for it not able to watch it because some error reach out to customer service no help with whatever don’t waste your time but 10 money on this app to watch movie because you’re not gonna watch any it’s saying error all the way

### 1/5 — App Error

*2024-06-25, version 2.0*

I’ve had the app for a few days. I’ve yet to be able to watch one movie. Every time I select a movie and click “play” I am given an error. I was excited to watch but this has been a waste of my money.

### 1/5 — Very bad app

*2024-04-06, version 2.0*

I paid for 1 month subscription and since yesterday I have not been able to watch any movies, the app has been loading ever since, I don’t know why I forgot to read reviews

### 1/5 — Bad business

*2024-04-01*

I used to be a long time subscriber to the app before they stopped uploading movies. I saw that they had started back uploading movies and thought that maybe they were back, but was quickly disappointed when I kept getting the message that the app had trouble fetching data when I clicked on any movie. I have not been able to watch 1 movie so now I am here feeling scammed over again.

### 1/5 — Do not purchase

*2024-03-30, version 2.0*

Very difficult to watch. I purchased Apple TV boxes and was still unable to watch. Very upset with them. I did cancel my subscription and it will not renew in may. But from September up to today i have not been able to watch the app

### 1/5 — Terrible Experience

*2024-02-28, version 2.0*

Cannot access any of the movies or shows. Keeps displaying ‘Error fetching data’ despite having a good internet service. Tried both on the app and via the browser. I hope there is a way to cancel the subscription and get a refund.

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2024-02-13, version 2.0*

Avoid this app like the plague. It does not work. Empty promises saying that the problem will be resolved soon but when sha…
