### 1/5 — Slow, slow, slow….

*2026-08-13, version 2.6.1*

Huge buffering issue on this Apollo group tv app. Extremely slow, constant pausing issues no matter what I try.

### 4/5 — Great app just wish I could download

*2026-08-10, version 2.6.1*

No complaints. Better than on my TV most times but wish there was a download option for on the go

### 4/5 — Love it but can be glitchy at some times and the language

*2026-08-09, version 2.6.1*

I love this app it have new stuff that hard to come by and it’s an great app overall but the down side is that sometimes the movies or shows can glitch and freeze at times which is not good and you need to fix the language because I try to watch cyberpunk 2077 and it won’t go to English and I can’t watch the show but I do like that i can watch all the stuff in one app is a plus but overall I would recommend this app not to a lot but to some people so it’s not to popular and get taking down but love the app just fix the stuff an make it better

### 4/5 — Fix this please

*2026-08-09, version 2.6.1*

For some reason, there is this weird glitch were if you try to watch a certain series on this platform, it’ll only play the audio and not show the actual episode and only shows the series thumbnail, it didn’t do this before but now it does for some reason. Fix this immediately as soon as possible.

### 3/5 — Get it together

*2026-08-06, version 2.6.1*

The app was fantastic until it transitioned to this new “enjoy time” bull. Now things lag, freeze, don’t play properly. It’s just a headache. Fix these bugs asap please. What’s the point of making my account “new vip” whatever it’s called if everything lags now? Get it together start up or I’ll find someone who has.

### 3/5 — Love it but now is starting to freeze

*2026-08-04, version 2.6.0*

Every movie I go to it will freeze and it had started like 2 or 3 months ago

### 1/5 — Worked fine in the past

*2026-08-02, version 2.6.0*

Doesn’t work at all for the last 2 weeks, and I just paid for a whole year. Won’t be renewing. Support is useless

### 1/5 — I wish there were another option

*2026-07-31, version 2.6.0*

This app is supposed to work without a WiFi network. I have never been able to Watch anything other than with WiFi. Yes, I have toggled the WiFi only switch off, still doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Horrible on fire stick and iOS

*2026-07-30, version 2.6.0*

I’ve been using this app for some time and the last two weeks, there is so much buffering and timeouts. I only use it for movies and tv shows, no live tv, and am getting so frustrated. Speed test on app is lucky to show double digit download speeds, when I have almost 1 gig speed. I wish they would do an update and fix the issues.

### 1/5 — VIP Spam Pop-Up

*2026-07-27, version 2.6.0*

It won’t let me bypass or watch anything
