### 1/5 — Please fix it

*2026-03-28, version 3.9.13*

This app specifically says it can cast and airplay, but it only does it with sound but no picture. Wasted money paying for the subscription of this app. Emailed their support and no answer.

### 1/5 — The latest update

*2026-03-23, version 3.9.11*

Can’t find the RSS TV receiver as advised on the app therefore can’t the video to TV now. Also the picture-in-picture doesn’t seem to work, after the latest. Please roll back to the previous version.

### 1/5 — Ad issue

*2025-05-24, version 3.7*

King royal app is a nuisance. Kept repeating the app at the start of the play and doesn’t allow to skip to start play. Makes you watch over and over again. This issue has been here for a long time. I think it was fixed previously but happening again. Anyone else know what other app can we replace with this to watch Hong Kong TVB.

Unable to leave the ads to proceed with the series. The ad gets stuck with no option to exit from the ad.

Since last week, when I was trying to watch a new TVB series “ Your Finesse”. The “ Royal Match/Kingdom” ad popped up before the show started but after ad is finished. It get frozen and nothing happens. I tried to reboot the phone but still not working. Whichever player I select, same issue over and over again. Can’t it be fixed asap? Thank you
