Nave many

### 1/5 — Bad Experience

*2025-12-22*

No responsible person will use this app. Before you download and subscribe you should take my advice. I experienced the worst from any streaming platform. Nothing is organized. It only shows stupid football matches and some are in Chinese commentary.

### 1/5 — Inaccessible

*2025-10-23, version 4.15*

I’ve been trying for multiple times to renew my mobile plan but every time I enter my mobile number to get a code, it never sends me one and stuck in that same place everytime

### 1/5 — Can’t watch without interruptions

*2025-02-11, version 4.13*

I regret subscribing to this rubbish

### 4/5 — Airplay

*2024-12-15*

I love this app but I wish it allows airplay I can’t use it through airplay

### 2/5 — Ads

*2024-12-12*

### 4/5 — Macy

*2024-07-02*

### 4/5 — Review

*2024-06-28*

I love this app; it's one of my favorite movies. Why can't I see Secret of El Paraiso on the app anymore

### 1/5 — Ugrent! Urgent! Call to action

*2024-02-28*

It’s been over 3 months plus that I keep activating your Max VIP or Drama VIP so that I can watch my Novela E plus series but as soon as I activate, drama vip option and all the Novela E plus series disappear. I keep activating weekly bundles of 7 whole days and all my activation in the past 3 months have honestly gone to waste. 

The app chooses when to show drama vip series and if at all they do it’s like a day or half a day in a whole week! Personally I find this very annoying and frustrating. Why then do you make the subscription available when the channels you subscribed to watch would disappear in less than no time?????
Kindly fix this please
I’ve lost a lot of money activating StarTimes everyday when I can’t have access to the channel I want to watch
It’s honestly not fair

PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP
