### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-08-15, version 1.0.4*

Worked perfectly 3 years ago when I first downloaded, now it’s insanely bad. 
Nothing works, streams don’t load despite clicking multiple sites.

### 4/5 — 😐

*2026-07-11, version 1.0.4*

This app used to be good, but for some reason now it’s slow does anybody updated?

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time.

*2026-05-24, version 1.0.4*

When I first downloaded this app it was great, hardly ever struggled to find a good stream. Now, every stream is absolutely dog sht. You’ve got watch an add and click to close it down at least 3 fking times before you’ll get put through to the stream, at which point it’ll tell you to go to a website, or have you sitting there clicking the play button multiple times just for nothing to happen. Went from one of the best apps out there to a pile of sht.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2026-04-25, version 1.0.4*

Never works

### 1/5 — Poor

*2026-04-04, version 1.0.4*

Football matches constantly freeze and lag - The old platform was much better but this is an absolute joke!!!! I will be uninstalling as I can’t watch more that 2 mins before it goes off!!! I will be uninstalling this app as it is poor to say the least!

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2026-01-25, version 1.0.4*

This app used to be good now it’s awful puts u through about 5 mins of adverts just to fail 50 times then will eventually work for a minute if ur lucky .don’t waste ur time!!

### 3/5 — review

*2026-01-25, version 1.0.4*

it's good just would like to see some Scottish football put on it

### 1/5 — POOR

*2026-01-17, version 1.0.4*

Not one stream works waste of time

### 1/5 — Never works

*2026-01-17, version 1.0.4*

Everyone you click on a link it just says not to blame them yet nothing ever works so why bother

### 1/5 — Find a new platform

*2026-01-03, version 1.0.4*

This has got to be the worst streaming platform out there. At first it was good, ads were a lot but the streams were good. But now they make you watch minute long ads just to say “network issue” lol there is nothing wrong with my network because when I watch it on streameast, it’s fine. They’ve let the money get to their heads and have become absolutely rubbish. Having this app on my phone is a waste of space!
