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 ### 3/5 — Says token expired every time I open it. *2026-07-26, version 2.6.0* Each time the app is opened it says my token is expired despite that not being true. I then need to submits the same url code and it lets me in. Very annoying. ### 1/5 — Downtime *2026-06-21, version 2.6.0* Been down for the last 30 hours. Not great. ### 4/5 — App is not working *2026-06-21, version 2.6.0* Please fix the app, it just keep crashing and the logo is like blinking. Thanks ### 2/5 — Great app, poor settings *2026-06-21, version 2.6.0* App itself is awesome but once you stop using the app, you have to delete it and reinstall it…. Come on programmers, fix this glitch! ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-06-21, version 2.6.0* What is going on? It’s worked great for a long time and now the logo just blinks and it doesn’t work. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-06-21, version 2.6.0* Just updated it and it won’t work at all on all my devices. ### 2/5 — Wrong time *2026-06-21, version 2.6.0* I was planning on a movie night but it doesn’t want to open up i’ve changed my review once it gets better.👍 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open *2026-06-21, version 2.6.0* Updated it now and wont even open ### 2/5 — 2.6.0 not working *2026-06-21, version 2.6.0* 2.6.0 is not loading on my AppleTV. It just endlessly pulses the startup show logo… previous update was working. Apple TV Model: A2169 TvOS: 26.5 (23L471) Please fix ### 1/5 — Not starting up *2026-06-21, version 2.6.0* I did an update and then it stopped starting up .. Fix bug ### 1/5 — Won’t Open *2026-06-20, version 2.6.0* App worked wonderful until today. It won’t open all of a sudden. The screen just stays on the startup screen and won’t load. Hopefully this will be addressed otherwise the app is great on the go. ### 1/5 — Playback error + Downloafd *2026-06-20, version 2.6.0* constantly having downloading issues where the movies/shows finish and say downloaded and then appear to be NOT downloaded. playback error always popping up, not able to watch anything or even use the app. fix it please! ### 1/5 — Won’t Work On MacBook - Playback Error *2026-06-16, version 2.6.0* Just got my subscription yesterday and it wont work on my MacBook. It keeps saying playback error and now it wont even let me uninstall the app from my computer. I only got the subscription because they said they fixed their problems but clearly that was a lie. ### 4/5 — Pretty Good *2026-06-15, version 2.6.0* Some shows and movies are not on there ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Kicked me out of my iptv *2026-07-21, version 2.6.0* The latest upgrade rendered my service unusable. ### 1/5 — Oh great *2026-07-15, version 2.6.0* App stops working just in time for the second-to-last World Cup game. 🤦 ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-07-14, version 2.6.0* Been using Apollo for a few weeks. Too buggy for my tastes. Keeps glitching with the sound. ### 1/5 — Garbage!! *2026-07-11, version 2.6.0* I am EXTREMELY and OVERLY frustrated at how every time you renew this subscription you have r to play a chess game of sorts. I would like to speak to someone as far as customer service and you can’t! There’s a QR code that does not even work and now that my money has been taken once again it’s NOT CONNECTING TO THE TV!!! The absolute last time this company received any money from me. OVER IT!! ### 1/5 — trash *2026-07-08, version 2.6.0* When ever im watching a tv show it plays the first half the episode i already watched and the half new episode i didnt watch ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New movie update?? *2026-06-30, version 2.6.0* I’m not here to complain about nothing I’m just curious to know when y’all are adding the movie “Obsession” since it didn’t take y’all much time to add “The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act” (overall like this app just waiting for a certain movie to be added is all👀) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-10, version 2.5.6* Great app. You get amazing movies and show 100% recommended. ### 5/5 — It’s great if you know how to use it properly *2026-06-08, version 2.5.6* A lot of reviews are based on services and not the app itself. Most of them talk about buffering and lag etc. These are written by people who don’t understand how this works. The app is a great interface for a playlist when plugged in. If you have a good service you will have a good experience, and vice versa. Great app, I’ve been using for several years now with no complaints. ### 5/5 — Works Great! *2026-05-20, version 2.5.5* I have no issues with it. It’s a great app! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-05-19, version 2.5.5* Thanks for the good job! This is one of the best App that ever existed🤗😍😘 ### 5/5 — Sports *2026-05-19, version 2.5.5* We need to be able to watch live sports please ### 5/5 — VPN *2026-05-18, version 2.5.5* For everyone saying it doesn’t work u need to pay for a VPN and it’ll work flawlessly. Way cheaper than cable if u buy yearly packages. Buy a monthly vpn and the subscription and just try it I swear. ### 5/5 — ADD PICTURE IN PICTURE COMPATIBALITY *2026-05-16, version 2.5.4* Please add PICTURE IN PICTURE COMPATIBALITY!!! ### 5/5 — Perfection *2026-05-14, version 2.5.4* Perfect interface, the customer service is just impeccable, and it’s so seamless. We bought a new Apple TV after our old one was fried. Only to find out Startup Show was taken off the Apple TV menu!! Unfortunately, their other app interfaces are hard to maneuver, over engineered, and I worry I might have a virus on my TV seeing the black app with a red “X” logo. Definitely will miss this for tv’s ### 5/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-04-23, version 2.5.4* Works well for my wife’s phone for my phone won’t go past the log on screen keeps resetting back to log on screen over an over again. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
