Can get STV player on phone but not TV. Why ?
I’ve since found a way to get STV Player on my TV by using the QR code etc

Poor player

Love what’s on the player but it keeps crashing or I lose the sound on it and on my TV programmes

Can’t watch on tv, but could before

Can watch on phone fine, but the tv app won’t load.

Loving new layout but…..

New layout is better cleaner but since update been a lot of problems. Delay in responses and being stuck within a program when opening

Ads during rugby

Putting ads in the middle of a game is shocking. Can’t enjoy anything without something being sold to you.

Digital adds on the pitch are so distracting and look terrible, why can’t they just paint it on the pitch like they used to?

Can you

Can you play live football and rugby games

Excellent app and rock solid during the World Cup!

App was absolutely great during the World Cup even with me bouncing in and out of matches when not watching a full match. Got in straight away and stream quality was solid and just as good as TV. Loads of content and easy to find something you like!

Brilliant programmes

I love STV Player. I’ve really enjoyed finding shows I watched years ago like Brookside and Wild at Heart. And new ones too. Really enjoying Coroner which I’d not heard of before. Works fine on my phone and TV. Also get it through Sky. It has ads, but worth a few ads to watch stuff for free. Would recommend.

great app

good

Ad free version doesn’t work

Despite paying for the ad free version, it still doesn’t work. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Signing out and signing in. Contacted STV customer care team and and they couldn’t help. Really poor service and disappointing that their tech team couldn’t help. They wouldn’t issue a refund either as the subscription was paid through Apple. No other streaming service has issues like this for their upgraded membership. Extremely poor STV.

Poor quality

Why is it only in Hd and very poor - more like SD

Useless

This app is horrendous, buffers constantly.
BBC iPlayer is far superior in stability and picture quality, I don’t know how they can get this so wrong!!
Trying to watch the world cup has been a chore, massive parts of the games missed while it buffers.
The app needs fixed, but knowing that network, bet it has never been quality checked, like the news reporting.

Pish

Des not let you login. Utterly useless. You should be embarrassed by this app. The high ratings are obviously fake.

Buffers with perfect connection

Pathetic excuse for a streaming service if watching on a mobile/laptop, gutting not to be able to watch the World Cup on the move unless BBC is showing it (a service that actually works). Not fit for purpose.

Sync issues

STV Player needs improvement with video and audio synchronisation. During World Cup matches, the sound and picture are sometimes out of sync, which makes the matches difficult to watch.

Terrible

App doesn’t work on LG to

Lots to enjoy

Lots of choice of programmes and easy to use.

Terrible app

Terrible app. Buffering constantly. Uninstalled and won’t download again. BBC far better. Sadly the game I want to watch it on this app tonight

Adds

Too many adds makes the watching process difficult

Jerky pictures?

The player app seems to be very jerky (sound and vision) then go very quickly as if to catch up with the live feed.
None of my other TV apps have this issue.
So while the app is great it has some issues….
