### 3/5 — Commercials

*2026-07-18, version 1.6*

Insane duplicate constant commercials, ruins the joy of watching this channel

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-02-21, version 1.6*

The fact that they sold out to a streaming service is complete and utter B.S.!

### 1/5 — No Rose Parade?

*2026-01-01, version 1.5.8*

Very disappointed to see that RFD was not sponsoring the Rose parade this year. We specifically signed up with a subscription in order to watch it. Will be canceling that subscription.

### 1/5 — Glad I read reviews

*2025-12-28, version 1.5.8*

Was going to subscribe: but seeing how many negative reviews and how little improvements have been made, will hold off. Sorry that rural programming is not about rural values anymore.

### 1/5 — NFR

*2025-12-05, version 1.5.8*

So upset, researched we could watch NFR on this app so purchased it day of airing, nope they no longer air the NFR!

### 2/5 — Streaming

*2025-11-06, version 1.5.8*

Expect to see the live show by next day when streaming
Particular “The cow guy” and Rural evening news

### 1/5 — Can’t watch it live

Can’t watch it live from the app

### 5/5 — RFD tv

*2025-08-08, version 1.5.1*

Love it love all content

### 4/5 — Works for me,

*2025-02-21, version 1.5.1*

Was hesitant on subscribing with all the negative reviews but I did and after a week here is mine, the app works great for streaming RFD-TV, have had no problems at all, the programming is not as good as it use to be… only negative I have is chill out on the “Tractor Tuesday” commercial… seriously. The first 100 times the first day was cool but now it’s overkill, enough to cancel subscription.

### 1/5 — Poor customer service

*2025-01-06, version 1.5.1*

My connection is spotty when every other app on my tv works fine, ive called multiple times for weeks and left messages with no response, ive emailed with one response in weeks. No resolution to be found.
