This has been working flawlessly until last night but now whenever my iPhone dims/locks the screen or a minimize the app the volume mutes and I have to go back to the app to increase the volume again. I use other apps but don’t have this issue and there have been no changes to IOS settings. It’s annoying so unless it’s fixed I’ll need to cancel my subscription ### 3/5 — Decent service, but obnoxiously poor app *2026-02-10, version 1.2.127.37153* The basic functionality of the app is here, but it is marred with a poor layout (giant icons using up space), and having entirely too many popups, liking constantly telling me to turn in Full HD mode when it is already turned on. ### 2/5 — Glad I did the free trial first *2026-01-18, version 1.2.127.37153* I would have been upset to pay for something that barely works. ### 3/5 — Works well but has a problem *2026-01-04, version 1.2.127.37153* This app works well to record programs you are paying for, so you can watch them if data or wireless is not available. But has a persistent bug — you can’t turn the subtitles off. You go into the subtitles menu and choose “off” and go back to playing but the subtitles are still there. It’s very annoying as I hate watching with subtitles. ### 3/5 — Ads, ads, ADS! *2025-08-07, version 1.2.127.37153* You’ve got to be kidding! I’ve been signed up with the app for 5 minutes and have already had—I kid you not EIGHT different in-app pop-ups for deals and purchase packages! This may not be scamware, but it sure feels like it. ### 5/5 — 5/5 :) *2025-07-23, version 1.2.127.37153* love the app! works great for what i use it for! ### 5/5 — Excellent App! *2025-07-18, version 1.2.127.37153* One of my favorite apps ever! I have recorded favorite streams from every platform in their inventory! For years! If there’s a problem, the support staff finds the issue and solves it. Over one hundred downloads and counting. Out of these numerous successes, only one stream lost. Not on their end. The streaming platform had removed the program before recording! Consistent programming on behalf of PlayOn! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-06-27, version 1.2.127.37153* I don’t use it every day, however, I’ve had this subscription for years, and I would not change one single thing❤️❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Jk *2025-06-07, version 1.2.127.37153* Jk ### 5/5 — Jk *2025-06-03, version 1.2.127.37153* Jk ### 3/5 — Ok *2025-05-19, version 1.2.127.37153* Looked somewhat promising, however I wanted to see if I could stream videos directly from my photos library. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. I guess the intended purpose is just to download and stream from popular streaming sources. I'm not able to cast my videos to my tv without apple play lag. Not going to be too harsh but I also would have liked a better description of the product before downloading. Application screenshots mislead me to think it may have been available to stream from your device files. ### 3/5 — USES ROSSETTA AND SEEMS VERY SINGLE-THREADED *2025-04-24, version 1.2.127.37153* I was concerned it needed to install Rosetta to run on Mac Silicon. When it started to download my Cloud recordings it could do nothing else. An already downloaded one could not replayed. There is a spinning wheel on the downloads screen and I cannot even select the Device tab. ### 3/5 — Still currently amazing but... *2025-03-08, version 1.2.127.37153* You removed Vudu and YouTube... Why? Will they be back? ### 5/5 — Great app with channels DVR *2025-02-22, version 1.2.127.37153* Easy to integrate and download with channels DVR ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2025-02-14, version 1.2.127.37153* Really makes skipping through ads so easy! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Confusing *2026-07-07, version 1.2.127.37153* No instrucions tryn pay you but it goes ro amazin not your business ### 1/5 — Great Concept…Awful execution *2026-06-20, version 1.2.127.37153* Do NOT pay for this app.. 4 of the 5 recordings i tried failed ### 1/5 — Was good - not anymore *2026-01-08, version 1.2.127.37153* Was a great app but has many problems right now! Channels are gone, problems with available channels! Can not recommend! They just made the most horrible changes to their once great service and worst of all - they do not communicate anymore, answer questions and solve their problems! ### 1/5 — Was good - not anymore *2025-12-20, version 1.2.127.37153* Was a great app but has many problems right now! Channels are gone, problems with available channels! ### 1/5 — Can't record DVR recordings on Hulu *2025-03-13, version 1.2.127.37153* Lacks ability to record programs already recorded on Hulu. Useless. ### 1/5 — Was once a good app *2025-02-09, version 1.2.127.37153* This app is becoming useless. First, you couldn’t record from YouTube. Then came Disney + and Hulu. Getting pretty bare bones and I’m stuck with hundreds of credits I can’t use. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2025-01-23, version 1.2.127.37153* Worst movie app I’ve ever tried!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work Zero Support *2024-11-19, version 1.2.127.37153* Have used this for a few months now. Initially worked fine but now won’t download jack squat. Not only that once in downloading que position and it won’t download no way to clear it so no way to download anything ever. Support is nonexistent ticket in 48 hrs no response app is frozen in a constant state of trying to download but sites obviously have cut it off especially Paramount. Much better options out there. This is nothing but stealing from Apple customers. ### 1/5 — This app is TRASH *2024-09-25, version 1.2.127.37153* Have nothing but problems since downloading it. Can’t sign into any of my streaming services. Makes me go through the run around each time only to tell me “error”. Then when I decide to just continue as guest, the movies I choose to download just stay stuck at 0 with it saying, “your recording will start shortly”. Piece of advise…don’t waste your money or your time. This app is complete garbage. ### 1/5 — It’s a pay service *2024-09-18, version 1.2.127.37153* If you’re going to make people pay for it, you shouldn’t lie and advertise it as free ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-02, version 1.2.127.37153* Excellent service at a reasonable price. Occasionally some differences between Australian and US streaming, but in the whole that's no big deal. Support is always helpful, prompt and friendly. Happily recommend! ### 5/5 — About to try it so excited *2026-06-12, version 1.2.127.37153* I hope this works I’ll make another post if I does ### 5/5 — Freedom *2026-06-03, version 1.2.127.37153* At last a way to record shows in the cloud ### 5/5 — Best app for movie and shows! *2026-05-28, version 1.2.127.37153* I begin my downloads on my iPhone and store on my old android or laptop to watch when I have time to relax it’s wonderful catching up on shows and downloading them for later ! It’s a life saver! If only my laptop was as reliable as this app!! ### 5/5 — Great affordable service *2026-02-14, version 1.2.127.37153* I have a ton of streaming subscriptions and am frustrated that they don’t allow you to download movies/shows to watch offline- or if they do- they are limited and most of them expire within 48 hours after you start to watch them, and you can only watch them once. Playon Cloud is easy to install and once you place shows in your queue- you can just close your device and let them download in the cloud. You can either set them to auto download to your device or go out using the downloader and put them on a PC. I chose to download them to a PC as MP4 files because I want to be able to move on and off my device as space is needed. If you download them to your iPad/iPhone - it places them inside your app where you can watch them, but you can’t move them- all you can do is delete them. If you ever want to watch them again- as long as they are still saved in your cloud files, you can still download them again, but that’s more of a pain than just putting them on a USB thumb drive. A little frustration at first when it took a couple hours for the recording to start going- but all got resolved. Apparently they do occasional server maintenance which will hold things up for a while. ### 5/5 — Let’s Gooooo!! *2026-01-12, version 1.2.127.37153* Super rad to download your favorites ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-12-25, version 1.2.127.37153* This works amazingly. If only it worked with more websites. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for! *2025-08-19, version 1.2.127.37153* It’s a slow process but exactly what I needed to be able to play movies on the go. ### 5/5 — Lol *2025-08-13, version 1.2.127.37153* Haven’t tried it yet five stars ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2025-08-07, version 1.2.127.37153* Works great! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
