### 2/5 — Love shows but too many commercials/breaks

*2024-04-26*

I love pretty much every show on Ovation. Unfortunately, every 5 minutes or so there is a commercial or break when viewing shows in app. When watching programs on Ovation channel you have quite a few annoying commercial breaks as well but the app has way more. It’s frustrating and frankly just very annoying. I understand revenue from commercials but please consider having less interruptions during a show.

### 2/5 — Closed Captioning Malfunction

*2024-03-12*

I thought it would be great to be able to watch Ovation live on the app. However, just like on your website, the closed captions only work every once in a great while…and not for long (plus, there does not appear to be any other way to communicate this to you). Why can’t you folks fix your tech?

### 2/5 — App Freezes

*2023-10-30*

This has a good selection of shows. Unfortunately it freezes every time I try to use it on iPhone and iPad. Once it’s bugs are fixed I will try it again.

### 2/5 — Freezing

*2023-05-08*

Way too many ads and when the ads play, they freeze every few seconds!  Aggravating!  The program doesn’t freeze, but the ads do!

### 2/5 — Frustrating app!

*2023-04-08*

Love so many of the shows on Ovation but this app is sub-par. While watching just one episode of the show, I have had to endure over 20 of the same commercial (often 4 times in a row). And it’s not uncommon for the app to freeze.

### 1/5 — I hate Barbados thanks to Ovation app

*2023-02-12, version 2.0.5*

I understand thatPart of using a free service is advertisement, but this is overkill. I am so turned off of Barbados do to the fact this app seem to have the only one commercial and not only is it played once but it’s played four TimesEvery 15 minutes this renders this app as useless for what they’re offering. I think I will go to BritBox just because I can watch these shows without Barbados commercials.

### 1/5 — Ovation now

*2023-02-02, version 2.0.5*

I Love the Ovation channel & want to watch it where ever I go. I have grown children/grandchildren. All I get is a frozen screen of DQ Ad on my iPad Pro

### 5/5 — I’m enjoying Ovation

*2022-12-31, version 2.0.4*

I watched the channel on my satellite provider now on the app. I’m on Season 2 or 3 of King and have had no trouble. I like the programming thanks

### 5/5 — Great shows to binge watch

*2022-10-14, version 2.0.4*

I love how this app gives me a variety of mystery solving shows, they also have a good amount of binge worthy content

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2022-09-10, version 2.0.4*

App is not Chromecast compatable and is buggy. I deleted it after 1 show viewing.
