### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2026-04-07*

This is one of the worst apps I have used in recent times. It’s always buffering…this is 2026 Dstv, a company of your standard shouldn’t be having an app that is Start- up standard. No matter what I try to do, it keeps loading and loading. It feels like an app from 2014.

**Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out. We do apologize for the experience. Please chat to our team https://now.dstv.com so that we can get your details and assist further.

### 1/5 — Can’t pay for subscriptions

*2026-03-10*

Have never make a review about any app  but I can tell you this is one of the useless app it log you out days after you login unlike the old one that 1 star this didn’t earn it if not I had include it to get this review submitted

### 1/5 — App Not Loading

*2026-03-04*

App not getting past the splash screen. Tried updating it, but didn’t help. Please, please, please fix these basic issues. It’s legit not that hard. If your current IT contractor hasn’t given you this, it’s a sign they must be replaced with a competent one. Good DStv channels, bad account management

**Developer response:** Hi DStv user,  If you could kindly share more details via our live chat; https://chat.dstv.com/ we'd be glad to assist you further and enhance your app experience. Your feedback matters to us.

Why can’t someone monitor his/her subscription days left anymore?? Also I just recharged 2 days ago and now I’m getting a message saying 4 viewing days left 🤬 …..

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-07-11*

The old Dstv app was perfect, I really don’t understand why they had to change it. Once I’m logged in, I didn’t have to bother logging in again whenever I needed to fix an error or pay my subscription. With this new app, after logging in and enabling Face ID. After a few days, if I try logging in again it will say Face ID failed and I need to start looking for my smart card number again. This is poor. Dstv fix up

**Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out. We do apologize for the experience. Please chat to our team https://now.dstv.com so that we can get your details and assist further.
