### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-08-16, version 7.5*

Ads galore, buggy, laggy.  Smarterstv was much better.

### 1/5 — Support

*2026-08-13, version 7.5*

Horrible support !  Their tech team told me that I  had to go back to the content provider (which I did)  because it was not their issue.  The content provider provided the details needed to show it was a Purple Lite issue. I went back to Purple Lite and they copied and pasted their original e-mail saying it was my providers issue.   I have 2 other tvs up and  running with the content provider. 
PS : This all happened after I paid for a subscription.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-08-11, version 7.5*

I love it so much I have left this.

### 1/5 — App Sucks

*2026-08-09, version 7.5*

For the longest time I had it for free and it wouldn’t allow me to skip ahead or wind without messing up the whole thing I’m trying to watch a show. Now I paid for the six month premium and it feels like every time I try to watch something it restarts and search back from where I left this app sucks

### 3/5 — Adverts error

*2026-08-08, version 7.5*

Good app mainly but if you’re downloading content and your phone goes on standby the app cuts to an advert and rarely gives an option to close the advert and go back to the main app. Resulting in loss of progress and having to restart download again. ANNOYING

### 1/5 — Just freezes

*2026-08-03, version 7.5*

Awful app. Devs don’t care either. App just constantly freezes.

### 1/5 — More popups than a buffet toaster

*2026-08-03, version 7.5*

More popups than a buffet toaster

### 1/5 — iPhone overheats when using

*2026-07-24, version 7.5*

Whenever I use the app my iphone overheats and the battery is drained three times as fast as other streaming apps

### 1/5 — can’t watch anything without it rewinding. playback jumps are horrendous makes a 1 hour episode 2.

*2026-07-24, version 7.5*

don’t like it

### 1/5 — Never works

*2026-07-18, version 7.5*

Title says it all. Never works. Never any links
