### 1/5 — its nothing except for the title page

### 5/5 — Apps Needs iOS updated

*2019-01-08, version 732333*

Could you please update it to the newest version of iOS so I can use it, it won’t let anyone with the newest iOS use it

### 1/5 — What gives? Where is the communication or updated for fix?

*2018-12-14, version 732333*

Update: wrote kortv an email and no response. Guess what, they auto-charged me for content I am no longer getting. This app on AppleTV is a rip off. Do not dl this app and expect any kind of support. I want my refund!!! 

Hi, 

My grandmother had the Y news channel through the KorTV app on Apple TV (1st gen) for as long as we can remember at $1.99 a month.

 The monthly charges have been ongoing. However, the Y News app is no longer working as it is stating to get the channel for a package at $14.99 a month. 

Can you provide an update as to why this is and how to get the channel back? I’ve tried restore purchases dozens of times and it’s conveniently unable to connect. Please fix. 

Best regards,

### 1/5 — 방송이 안나와요

해주세요

### 2/5 — Stuck in subcategory and have to delete and reinstall app

*2018-02-19, version 732333*

This is specifically for the KORTV App on the Apple TV. I am not sure where to report issues. 

Stuck in subcategory and have to delete and reinstall app. If I am in a subcategory of channels and either the Apple TV sleeps or maybe goes to screen saver, I cannot back out to the wider selection of channels that the app first starts in when freshly downloading the App. Work around, is to delete the App and reinstall. This gets me back to the main menu where I have to start over again. 

I also sometimes have issues with reconfirming my paid subscription. It states that iTunes is unavailable when I can access it through the Apple App Store.

### 1/5 — No updates to content on paid Live Channels

*2018-02-06, version 732333*

**Update** February 6, 2018 - KorTV is no longer grandfathering a la carte subscriptions on the new 5th gen Apple TV. You cannot restore your paid subscription but instead must opt for the “all in one” package at $9.99. Emails to their support and contacts to their website all go unanswered. Apple has refunded my subscription fee. 

If you are looking for excellent Korean content, check out KOCOWA. They are infinitely better.

KorTV offers a number of in-app purchases for various channels and content. One of the "Premium Live" channels is the ETN K-Pop channel. Originally, going back to KorTV's availability on Apple TV, this channel updated its programming weekly every Weds. or Thurs. to show new, current music videos.

Starting in 2016, the weekly updates completely stopped. Instead, the ETN K-Pop channel went 8 months from January to August 2016 showing the same rotation of music videos every singe night. Finally, in August the content was updated to a new music videos. However, again it has not updated in almost 5 months.

This is a premium paid content channel that has only updated its content twice in over a calendar year. Attempts to contact KorTV via their website, direct email or Facebook page have been futile with literally no response forthcoming from their Support Team.

Apple really needs to curate these applications better and pull Companies like KorTV that do not provide proper support or provide the content that subscribers are paying monthly subscription fees that Apple collects via the iTunes store..

### 1/5 — 많은 발전과 안정화가 필요합니다.

*2017-12-31, version 732333*

ios11이 나온지가 언제인데... 아직도 ios11 기반 아이폰과 패드에서 사용이 불가능합니다. 애플티비에서 그나마 사용중인데요, 불안정합니다. 안정화와 더불어 더욱 소비자편의성에 집중한 더욱 나은 레이아웃 업데이트가 필요합니다.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2017-10-06, version 732333*

It looks nothing like the pictures and doesn't work

### 1/5 — High cost for nothing

*2017-09-16, version 732333*

I paid a monthly subscription and was not notified of the price increase. If every channel is an additional monthly cost then what is my monthly subscription paying for!?!

### 1/5 — Where is KBs World?

*2017-01-16, version 732333*

After paying $19.99 for the new KORTV subscription, suddenly there is no KBS World station, WHY? I live in Florida so I know it's one of the places that KBS World station is allowed to be shown! Give me my KBS World!!!
