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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — The absolute worst! *2023-02-04, version 126.0* 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! **Developer response:** Sorry to hear you are having trouble. Please tell us more about your issue by sending an email to mtvappsupport@mtv.com. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2022-08-17, version 113.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Can it get any worse? *2022-06-02, version 107.0* 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. ### 3/5 — Had trouble logging in with cable provider *2022-01-26, version 99.0* 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. ### 2/5 — FIX!!!! *2022-01-17, version 97.0* Im writing this really mad right now. Whatever is wrong with this app is beyond annoying!! I have had it for awhile now and every single time i just want to watch my show it asks me to connect to my provider which I have plenty times and its worked! Worked for awhile where I could watch without the hassle but every now and then the app re asks me about my provider and doesn’t even load for me to sign into my account just immediately states it doesn’t come in “my package” when it does and It has worked numerous of times before. I’ve tried deleting, redownloading, rebooting the app and it’s still freaking stupid. Have tried to contact support and nothing!! Beyond angry that I enjoyed my show yesterday but won’t be able to finish it today. ### 1/5 — AWFUL *2021-12-15, version 96.0* This is quite possibly the worst app I’ve ever used and I’ve used a lot. You’d think with where the world is at with technology, they’d figure out how to make this app not glitch or lag every single time you try to watch a new episode of something. I have to reset the app several times in an evening because it just freezes or glitches. On top of that, it doesn’t save your spot in the episode when it does glitch. You have to manually search for where you left off which is EXTREMELY annoying when you have to do it multiple times. Not to mention every time you try to skip ahead to find your spot, you get hit with MORE ads than you usually have to deal with. I’m okay with ads here and there, I get that’s what makes these things free to us, but MTV takes it to a whole different level. They have to fix this app and the functionality of it, because I’ve been trying to use it for years, on multiple devices, and nothing has gotten better. It’s like they don’t care how awful it is for users. If I could give the app 0 stars, I would. Lucky for them I can’t, so they get 1. ### 1/5 — Don’t wast your money *2021-11-24, version 93.0* Don’t waste your money. I paid monthly for commercial free I also paid $25 extra to watch a particular show that I really wanted. I let the show run over on accident on my phone without watching and now I am locked out of watching it again. Are they kidding me? If you pay you should be able to watch anytime like any other app that’s out there I have most other apps. I tried to get ahold of support to no avail. This app is a complete waste of time. It wanted me to pay $2.99 an episode at first so I paid a lump sum of $25 thinking it was better on top of my monthly payment I couldn’t be more wrong. Do not make the same mistake. There are much better apps out there that once you pay your monthly fee you don’t have to pay anything else. They also respond to their support calls MTV does not respond again waste of money. ### 1/5 — Worst App *2021-09-12, version 89.0* I use this w Apple TV, however I’m pretty much over using it. It doesn’t remember the shows you’ve watched so you always have to search it, doesn’t remember where you left off on a show so you have to remember the episode and where you left off but the worst part is it will nearly every time I open the app, freeze up. The only way to resolve the issue is to delete the app, then re-add it, and add all credentials so you can continue to watch again. LITERALLY EVERY TIME for me. I like some shows it offers but the issues are too much to continue to use it. I’ve never used another app with Apple TV with any issues at all. Fix it or just don’t offer it. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2021-09-05, version 89.0* I was so excited when I signed up for dish and downloaded this app so I could catch up on the challenge. My all time favorite tv show. But what I got is a hot mess of an app. Takes an hour an half to watch one episode due to soo many ads and the app stops working during the ads. Restart. Got ads to watch. Might make it through them til the next set then again the app stops responding and have to restart. Only reason I gave it two stars is because I am able to watch my favorite show but it doesn’t work good enough. It actually just stopped working while I’m typing this out. SMH so I guess it does deserve just one star. ## Frequently asked questions about MTV ### What is this app for?
