Having dialogue stop mid sentence so an ad can start and then not start back in the same moment just ruins the experience. Also, showing the same ad repeatedly only makes me want to never use a product again. Please do better or offer a reasonable subscription to remove ads all together. ### 2/5 — Good content, app needs work *2026-08-10, version 11.1.1* App constantly glitches and the interactive commercials are ANNOYING. Other than that lifetime has stepped it up. ### 3/5 — Lifetime *2026-07-25, version 11.0.0* Lifetime is an amazing app however, I do find it frustrating to get the pause and play button off the screen without the show or movie skipping but overall I do think it is a good app to watch shows and movies on ### 4/5 — Life time *2026-07-16, version 10.8.1* It is a great show app. I can watch it whenever! And most of those shows are unlocked and there a great movies! ### 4/5 — Dance mims *2026-07-02, version 10.8.0* I do like dance moms personally what I’m watching on lifetime currently. I do feel like with the ads you can make them not be the same ads back to back But overall good app and I love using this app! ### 4/5 — ADDS *2026-06-30, version 10.8.0* I really don’t like the adds because they always seem to come when a good part of the show comes ### 5/5 — Lifetime Rocks!👍 *2026-05-29, version 10.7.0* I enjoy Lifetime ! There are a variety of genres and the viewer has the ability to adjust the ad frequency. ### 3/5 — Stop adding more seconds to the ads *2026-05-27, version 10.7.0* Every time it’s a 30 second add it always add more seconds and it’s gets on my nerves but everything else is good ### 2/5 — To much ads *2026-05-23, version 10.7.0* The shows are great especially dance moms but the problem is there’s to many ads. I can’t watch my shows peacefully without any ads and it comes like every 5 minutes and I don’t like so I need you guys to change it please. ### 5/5 — App rating *2026-05-06, version 10.6.0* It’s not much ta say but lifetime is a good app , and i most definitely would recommend it, the app has good features ,quality , and so much more I love it and it also had some good thrills, shows , movies , and etc .💞🫶🏾 ### 5/5 — Karleigh *2026-04-22, version 10.6.0* You are the best lifetime ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2026-03-27, version 10.5.0* I have this app free with my Verizon subscription, it works pretty well for me although recently when the ads are starting it’ll cut some of the show off a little bit and if you try to go back to see what words you may have missed it either goes back to the ad or is just black until you skip ahead. If you are going to run ads I would say make sure they’re in the correct spot as they were on tv. Other than that it’s a pretty good app ### 2/5 — Sync to TV *2026-03-26, version 10.5.0* It would be nice to have an option to play the app on the television ### 5/5 — Great movies *2026-03-04, version 10.4.1* Awesome ### 4/5 — MY OPINION ON LIFETIME *2026-03-03, version 10.4.1* Me personally think the Lifetime app is a good app to have! I think for some of the devices that you watch lifetime on differs. For instance on the phone it has a 30 second add and a 1 minute add,On iPad it has some adds in between,and On tv there’s a lot of adds in the middle of the shows. Hope you can fix this and make it better in some kind of way! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-07-30, version 11.0.0* They play the same ads over and over to the point where the shows are unwatchable. ### 1/5 — Incredibly annoying to use *2026-06-11, version 10.7.0* They’ve made Lifetime the only place you can watch MAFS and it’s almost impossible to watch it. The player itself is buggy. The play and skip buttons stay on the screen unless you tap it the right number of times. Skipping ahead or back is stupid because it takes it a few seconds to actually skip after you hit the button and then the audio doesn’t align right away with the video. If you want to go back a full minute or two, it takes forever. The ads are also buggy. Sometimes it gives you a choice: 30 seconds of an ad you interact with, or two minutes of an ad you don’t interact with. If you pick the 30 second one and interact with it, after you click “go back to video” it will give you another 30 seconds of black screen plus another ad before you can go back to the video. If you click two minutes, sometimes it will give you a black screen, sometimes it’ll play a couple of ads, sometimes it’ll play a full 5 minutes of ads (four ads, with just one individual one being 2 minutes). The ads are all the same and it’s like they’re specifically selected to be the worst ones. The miniplayer will often go black after an ad plays and you have to re-open the app to start it again. The hundreds of episodes are all in a long list rather than divided by season. Selecting a season just takes you to a place on the list. The episodes are also numbered improperly at times. With some effort, I get to watch my show. That’s the only good thing I can say about it. Wish they’d put it back on Prime. ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-03-25, version 10.5.0* Horrible streaming, glitching, and skipping parts ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2025-11-16, version 9.8.0* I know your app is crumbling because nobody cares about any show there except dance moms and thats over with but it's sooooo many ads ### 1/5 — THE ADS ARE OUTRAGEOUS 🤯 *2025-11-13, version 9.8.0* Listen I understand that the ads help keep the app free but come on now. I feel like every 5 minutes I’m watching one. Pretty sure the life time on regular tv doesn’t even have this many commercials! Fix the problem that literally EVERYONE is complaining about and maybe you’ll get a better rating. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2025-10-02, version 9.7.1* It is not easy to navigate. ### 1/5 — I feel tricked *2025-09-22, version 9.7.0* When you sign up for the service it states no commercials that is not true the ads are extremely long and about every 15 minutes during a movie ### 1/5 — Gotta love ads! *2025-09-20, version 9.7.0* I love watching 5 minutes of ads every 15 minutes :)! But seriously, the amount of ads is ridiculous. ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE *2025-09-18, version 9.7.0* I should not have to stop my show 4,5,6 times to refresh so the words will catch up with their lips! Ridiculous. I have multiple streaming apps and NONE give me the problems this app has! Deleting the app, and will find other ways to watch my shows! ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2025-08-18, version 9.5.0* I don't understand why I need to have a cable provider just to watch movies and shows. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — lifetime app *2026-08-03, version 11.1.0* great app i love lifetime movies! i cant complain about the ads since the movies are free afterall. ### 5/5 — Change up the ads *2026-07-29, version 11.0.0* I love lifetime because I can watch dance moms but sometimes the ads re just crazy like I get 8 ads sometimes like what the heck and they are the same dang West Virginia ads EVERY SINGLE TIME ### 5/5 — Bring it *2026-07-28, version 11.0.0* I love watching bring it and dr pimple popper ### 5/5 — Life time rate *2026-07-22, version 11.0.0* Is good ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-22, version 11.0.0* Love this channel but the ads are so annoying 8 ads of the samething when it break time.
