I think it’s 10/10 except for how long ads are
Trigger point
Brilliant drama series has you on the edge of your seat
No Live Stream
Why is the Live viewing option in the app not available with the app version on my new Sony Bravia smart TV? Recently installed the app so it is the latest. This is a big problem for me ITV.
Horrendous
What a truly awful viewing experience watching anything on ITVX is. Relentless ads that seem to come every 3 minutes, constant streaming crashes and awful interface. I could look passed the last two if I didn’t spend more time watching ads than I did the stream I was trying to watch
Why would I pay for premium?
The basic option is such a poor experience why would I opt and pay for a premium version?
When watching a series, the mechanism often jumps two or more episodes and my time is spent trying to get back to the episode I want to watch.
Adverts are soooo boring with endless fake crack crunching sounds to make the food appear fresh and appealing and the compulsory repeating of the advert name usually six times within the 30seconds.
Not just up to four adverts as listed, there is usually a free ad to begin with and then followed by two ‘recommendations’. So you can end up with up to 7 advertisements. These are sometimes interrupted by a split second of the episodes you are trying to watch and you have the whole advert bombardment again!
I end up turning the sound off, going onto my phone for something more interesting or making a hot drink and swearing I will go back to DVD’s.
This app is a very poor experience. There is no way I would pay for the premium.
