Faite très vite une mise à jour. ### 1/5 — Useless app *2023-03-28, version 1.0.16* It force closes every time I try to enter tv code. ### 1/5 — App closes when pairing to TV *2023-01-22, version 1.0.16* The app force closes itself when entering the samba tv code. Then when I reopen the app, it asks me to re login. So the app is useless for me as is. Please fix this bug ### 1/5 — Can’t get it to work *2023-01-03, version 1.0.16* I’ve tried so many times to get this app to work and connect with my tv but every single time I put my tv code in the app closes itself and won’t work. Very aggravating. Don’t waste your time on this app that obviously doesn’t work. The few good reviews are definitely paid reviews. ### 1/5 — Can’t even connect to my TV *2022-12-10* As soon as I put my code in to connect to my tv, the app crashes. Completely useless. ### 1/5 — M *2022-11-25, version 1.0.16* Don’t send email verification and if you do use Google are something else when u try to hook to tv it shuts off ### 1/5 — App Crashes After Connected Device Code is Input *2022-11-25, version 1.0.16* As soon as I type in the connected device code, i.e., the code used to connect to my TV and makes using the platform enjoyable, the app automatically crashes. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling it, but there has been no change in application behavior. ### 1/5 — Can’t use app at all? *2022-10-06, version 1.0.16* Never receive verification email, made an account through apple instead. Still won’t even connect to my tv. App crashes every time I put code in. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Completely pointless *2020-11-12, version 1.0.13* Like the other reviewer, I found this app completely pointless... After installing I had to pick 3 shows/films, it then showed me a “tailored selection” of 5 things I could watch (nothing else!)... Of the 5, 4 of them didn’t work and just said “not available”, the last (the Simpsons movie) was the only one that “worked”, but all it did was open iTunes and try to get me to buy it for €9.99 Complete waste of space! ### 1/5 — A non-starter. *2020-05-16, version 1.0.13* Downloaded the app to use with my Sony TV. Signed in. Was given a screen to choose favourites. Choose favourites and the did not have an option from there. Clicked the back button and was taken back to the login screen. Logged in. Back to the choose your favourite screen. ...and round and round we go… ### 1/5 — App does not work *2020-04-17, version 1.0.9* This app was written by two stoned teenagers. It requires email verification and all you get is a blank email and no way to verify. Gestures to these people. You know where to shove you head. ### 1/5 — Does not send verification email when registering *2020-04-10, version 1.0.9* Downloaded app and registered. Nothing happens. Supposed to receive a verification email but this is never sent. Support just asks me to describe the problem (I did) and never replies. Can’t log in to use the app ### 1/5 — No live TV? *2020-02-28, version 1.0.8* Might as well just download iTunes as it directs you there anyway! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What does this do for me? *2025-10-06* I have a Song TV with Samba and I have the mobile App and they are connected but what does it even do? The App doesn’t even stay signed in after I close out of it. ### 1/5 — Por qué no se puede 0 estrellas *2024-12-24, version 1.0.23* Mala seria si pudiera hacerla funcionar ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas *2024-12-14, version 1.0.23* Comme le précédent avis, l’application se ferme immédiatement après avoir rentrer le code pour synchroniser avec la tv ! Le dernier commentaire date de plus d’un an et pas de mise à jour pour corriger le problème ### 1/5 — 1/10 *2024-10-25, version 1.0.23* Muy mala aplicación , se cierra todo el rato al conectar a la tele, lamentable , increíblemente mala ### 1/5 — Samba don't dance *2024-07-23, version 1.0.16* App don't work. Crashes ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-06-19, version 1.0.16* Ignoring that account creation doesn’t use HTTPS, and that trying to sign up with my Google account led to an error I had to troubleshoot on my own, I still can’t get my Element TV to show a code to actually pair it to the app. ### 1/5 — waste of time!!! *2024-03-08, version 1.0.16* This application does not work, you cannot activate it with email or anything else. The app is blocked, they should remove it from the Playstore and our TVs. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t even let you register *2024-02-11, version 1.0.16* 0/10 wouldn’t recommend ### 1/5 — Unable to create an account with any provided method *2023-11-15, version 1.0.16* Unable to create an account with any provided method ### 1/5 — Can’t accept Sign up *2023-11-11, version 1.0.16* I am trying to sign up creat new account but it give me fail to sign in? ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Makes Watching TV Better! *2018-12-10, version 1.0.1* The recommendations are spot on and helped me spend “Quality Time” with my TV. Highly recommended!! ### 5/5 — Genius *2018-09-01, version 0.2* Love the app, worked great to help with getting some shows in with my crazy hectic life. ### 5/5 — The new way to watch TV *2018-07-19, version 0.2* Makes is so easy to find great shows and movies to watch across a scattered universe of channels, services and devices. ### 5/5 — Cool app that pairs with my new Sony TV *2018-07-17, version 0.2* Love using this app with my new Sony TV! So much easier to find shows on this app then play them directly on my smart TV. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
