### 4/5 — Good shows but needs improvement

*2026-06-02*

Hi.
I hate the playback expired thing, that doesn’t happen on any other app. I also wish the Picture in Picture thing becomes available on that app. And I want it to go back to where I left off not start over. But it does have cool shows.

### 1/5 — Deceptive misleading poor content

*2026-05-30*

I joined with through an offer for a “free trial” so that I could view content. Upon joining, I went in and canceled the trial so that I would not accidentally pay the $3.99 monthly fee. 
When I proceeded to cancel, I was presented an offer of $1.99 a month for 3 months. Finding this reasonable, I accepted and opted not to cancel. 
Today, I sign in and see that my “free trial” has been removed and I’ve now been charged $3.99. 
Now I go back to cancel because I find this practice to be highly deceptive and misleading. AND I CANNOT. Instead, I get an error message. 
Further, the extent of the content is misleading when customers are browsing to determine if a subscription is worth it. It’s not worth it.

### 5/5 — Love the new app

*2026-03-27*

This new app is a true crime fan’s dream! Love exploring the case files and evidence.

### 4/5 — Just another paid subscription

*2026-03-25*

Nope, not gonna pay for this content. You’re ridiculous.

### 1/5 — UNMANAGEABLE

*2025-06-16, version 32*

I just downloaded this worthless app and signed up for a subscription, thinking it might be required for it to work right, but still cannot do anything on it. Zero search results come up when searching “Karen Read trial”, even though there’s a courtroom feed on my YouTube. I give up! Gonna immediately cancel my subscription to nothing and delete this app.

### 1/5 — Rip Off

*2025-05-30, version 32*

I wish I had never clicked subscribe. I’m not finding any live trials, yet they are on the Court TV and for free!

### 1/5 — Trials

*2025-02-17*

I don’t understand why they don’t upload past covered trials to view? It doesn’t seem to me that it would be that difficult and what customers want to have access to.

### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2024-11-26*

I have subscribed each of the last two years only to be terribly disappointed.  I thought I would be able to get live trials to watch, but that has not been the case at all.  I cannot find any live trials.

Whenever I try to go into my account, all I get is a message saying “verifying account.”  It never says if my account is verified or not.

Don’t waste your money on this, folks.  Watch  Court TV instead.  Of course, they drag out the coverage and have a lot of ads, but at least you can see live trial coverage.

### 4/5 — Great

*2024-04-24*

I love the app but the links need to be changed from dark blue to yellow or something with contrast. I have to strain to read the clickable links because it’s blue on black.

### 1/5 — No more live trials?

*2024-04-01, version 31*

I no longer can access ad-free/commentator-free live trials on this app.  I am current on my annual subscription, so that’s not the issue.  I have emailed their customer service 3 times to see if there is perhaps a new way to access live trials but have gotten no response.  What is the point of paying for this channel (albeit just 19.99 annually) with no occasional ad free trials to watch?  May as well just watch CourtTV which is free.
