Boothical

Sadly the fast forward and rewind controls are not very user friendly. Comparing it to YouTube or other platforms. Otherwise apart from that does the job.

Patchy, unreliable

Good sometimes, abjectly poor at others, with regular inconsistency. Live streaming is often a gamble (especially in Sports) to Chromecast and sometimes just stops. Latest versions of iOS, chromecast etc. at present streaming does not work.

Poor quality

Buffers all the time, shocking for 2026

STV Premier Sport App is useless

We frequently can’t get into Premier Sports which we paid for via STV player, using their app, but it often says we’re streaming in another device when we’re not! A total pain, do not pay for STV player, especially the Premier Sports App inside STV player
