Keeps glitching
I downloaded the app and signed into my provider and began watching my desired shows. The first 2 days the app was fine. By the 3rd day I started receiving error messages saying that this network is not included with my tv provider. Which is weird since I’m still able to view this network on my regular cable. So I went to Xfinity to check if this channel had been removed and it hadn’t. But for the next few days I was unable to use the app. I decided to randomly check again yesterday and it was back to normal. No issues, continued watching my shows. I open the app this morning for it to tell me that once again, this network is not included with my tv provider. Basically, the app only works when it wants to so if you can watch your shows another way I would suggest doing so.

Open Settings on your iOS device, scroll down to the menu option “TV Provider” and tap Sign Out. Go to the app to sign in again. If you see the prompt asking you whether you wish to allow the app to use your TV provider subscription, choose “Don’t Allow”. Allowing this will reactivate SSO and trigger the error. You should then be able to sign in to your TV provider as normal.
The absolute worst!
I have never written a review for an app before, but MTV has inspired me by creating the absolute worst app of all time. It’s not even the 4,000,000 ads, really. I’ll sit through them. I’m just trying to watch an episode of Drag Race here, but it’s the fact that the ads crash the app during every commercial break, only to lose my place. Or, even more egregious: the fact that the stream pauses literally every 4 seconds (not exaggerating here) the ENTIRE time. But wait, there’s more!
After trying for 2 hours to finish my hour long show, I get a message that the video is unavailable when I’ve only got 10 minutes left (not including ads I’m sure). By the way, the video is available. I just have to watch more ads only to lose my place AGAIN. I miss when Drag Race was on VH1! Please do better MTV! It’s bad enough the music video is extinct. Don’t ruin Drag Race too!

Too many ads
I tried to watch one episode of a show, but there were way too many adds that I had to just give up. I had to sit through 3 ads before the show would start. Then they showed me the previously seen clips. Then I had to sit through 5 ads. Then they showed me the show’s intro. Then I had to sit through 6 ads. Then I watched a few minutes of the show, and it wanted me to sit through 5 ads again. I gave up and I will no longer watch any of the 5 MTV shows I used to watch. I understand that they need revenue, but a show should not be more ads than content, and it is impossible to catch up on a show when it takes hours to watch a half hour’s worth of actual content.

Can it get any worse?
This is the worst streaming app I’ve ever used. Period. Like all the other reviews you’ll read, besides the 5 star ones that are so blatantly fake, you’ll see that this app has a bad user interface, is FULL of bugs and glitches, and COMPLETELY overrun with ads. It’s impossible to watch absolutely anything on this platform without being bombarded with ads and error messages. They’ve been having this problem for 4+ years, you’d think they would fix it by now. When’s the last time this app has even been updated? It seems like they don’t really care but they care enough to buy fake reviews and leave their email, which is no help because they won’t get back to you anyway.

Had trouble logging in with cable provider
My main gripe was being unable to login with my cable provider. Whenever I went to “unlock all content”, it would pull up a log in screen for a cable company I did not have and there was no button to switch providers. As soon as I pressed cancel to exit the screen, the app would freeze and then crash. I had to uninstall and then reinstall the app and press “don’t allow” for everything before I could successfully get to the screen to choose my correct cable provider and log in.
It appears this app could use some improvements.
