Complete waste of money, very disappointing ### 1/5 — Bad Content *2023-11-21, version 7.15.0* The app is 96% British comedians. No thanks. ### 4/5 — Great app *2023-04-02, version 5.9.1* Lots of content - worth the money ### 5/5 — Cassius Jane *2023-03-26, version 5.9.1* Quality, time. ### 5/5 — Live Streams! *2022-02-24, version 5.8* Always enjoyed watching the odd stand up especially from new British and Canadian comedians on the app, but the last year of live streaming is why I’m now reviewing. It’s epic! Pretty much a new live show every other night, catching all the shows from various festivals, even the fact you can see the finalists of all the new act competitions live on the night is just incredible. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for edinburgh! ### 2/5 — Can’t subscribe on the app *2022-02-16, version 5.8* Used this up a couple of years ago it was really good, now you can’t subscribe on the app anymore, oh well ### 3/5 — Alright *2021-09-12, version 5.7* I don’t even watch stand up comedy so it was pretty unlikely that I would give this app a go. But, because of the monopoly McDonald’s event, I got a free 1 month subscription to this and I tested it out. There’s quite a lot on offer, for what you’re getting. I probably won’t be using it constantly, maybe just once in a while. But it’s sort of worth it ### 5/5 — So damn good... *2020-12-16, version 5.3* I just binge-watched Andrew Maxwell, Daliso Chaponda & unexpectedly brilliant Bec Hill. And I’m afraid I might do it again tonight. Help. Loving the look and feel of the new app. Waaayyyyy smoother experience than before and finally I can create a watch list. Thanks whoever built this! ### 4/5 — RESOLVED and access restored *2020-08-13, version 5.2* EDIT The specific problem that I complained about in this review, of the free trial ending days early, was actually not resolved before I the week ended and I was charged for a full year’s subscription. HOWEVER after a complaint on TrustPilot I got a response and I’ve been granted access to the subscription I paid for. I’m still not happy but I have a comedy show playing on my laptop so my mood will improve. ****** I’m in the middle of the free trial week. Updated my password. The app and the desktop both say I’m logged in yet I’m now locked out of all content. Support said they would try to have it sorted in a few days, which will be too late. Not a good way to convince someone to buy a year’s subscription. ## Frequently asked questions about NextUp ### What is NextUp? NextUp is a streaming service dedicated to stand-up comedy.
