Streaming to my tv was no better as the same thing happened. ### 2/5 — Paid doesn’t mean without Ads *2026-01-07* I don’t mind paying for a subscription when it says it’s ad free but don’t be fooled. Not everything is ad free on here. There wasn’t even a footnote when purchasing that some shows will have the same 4 ads over and over again. Also, the developers of this app apparently have never used a video streaming service before. No clue what you have already watched, doesn’t play well on Apple TV either. Help is nonexistent. ### 2/5 — CC won’t work *2025-12-23, version 1.5* This is extremely frustrating, CC option won’t allow the “check for yes” to stick. ### 1/5 — Horrible app - no customer service *2025-11-28, version 1.4* Three issues. In the iOS app, whenever I’m watching a feature, not the ads, when I press the FULL SCREEN option, it takes me back to the start. There is no way to view full screen, although you have the icon in place. PLEASE FIX. Issue 2. There appears to be no way to view CLOSED CAPTIONS. Any decent streaming app allows for closed captions. PLEASE FIX. Issue 3. In the Apple App Store, whenever viewing this app, there is a place that says REPORT A PROBLEM. But when you go there, one CANNOT report a problem because when you select QUALITY ISSUE, it says REPORTING NOT AVAILABLE!!!! All of this is really frustrating, because you seem to have good programming but they cannot be enjoyed for the reasons above. This is a horrible app. ### 2/5 — Not free *2025-11-26, version 1.4* This is not free as it is described. It is only partially free. They do have some free titles but there is a lot that is locked out as premium content and it requires a paid subscription. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-10-21, version 1.4* I gave this 1 star because though the limited amount of viewing i have been able to watch of the green veil every episode freezes. Of course it doesn’t freeze up for the commercials. The app does not give the option to restart where a show left off after freezing instead the episode starts over from the beginning and you have to watch 4-5 commercials AGAIN even if you were only 2 minutes into an episode when it froze. We have high speed internet so that id not the issue. It is definitely the app as the same thing happens on both my iPhone and Samsung television. I am glad I decided to try the app prior purchasing a subscription cause that would have made me very upset. ### 1/5 — Don’t get this *2025-10-17, version 1.4* This is a horrible service. I can’t cancel it even though I have contacted their Customer Service. The ads come every 10 minutes and are the same ads over and over again. I paid for an ad free service and you can only get ad free if you have an antenna. ### 2/5 — Too bad *2025-10-05, version 1.4* There are a few great shows. But the UI is AWFUL. The same four commercials every seven minutes. And then the show doesn’t stay at the place you left off and if you try to FF to where you were, there are the same four commercials you’re forced to watch over and over again. Put the commercials at the start and be done with them. ### 3/5 — Please fix! *2025-07-19, version 1.4* I finally tried to watch a video. Sat through 5 ads upfront and noticed there would be several more forced ad breaks. Ok, I get it but not thrilled. Video started playing and the status bar at top of screen would not fade away as usual when watching videos. I clicked on the Full Screen arrow, hoping it may resolve the issue. Nope. It closed the video and when I tried to watch it again, I was going to have watch the same 5 ads again. I’m afraid to find out what happens if I stop watching a video and come back to it-the app doesn’t seem to save your time in content. Too bad, War Game looked interesting. Let me know if you guys get this sorted out, I like the idea of the app and there are a couple things I would watch. ### 3/5 — No way to stream *2024-09-18, version 1.1* I’ve tried to download this app twice, but I don’t see a streaming icon on the home page - where are you hiding it ? ### 1/5 — Loved Green Veil but…… *2024-06-30, version 1.1* Only two shows since the app launched? I am very disappointed and had hoped app performance would be better and content more than two shows. I’m left wondering if Leguizamo just created this to showcase Green Veil, then took his leave? ### 1/5 — Impossible *2024-06-26, version 1.1* Wont let me register. Too bad looks interesting. ### 1/5 — June 8th 2024 and Still the fixes dont help *2024-06-09, version 1.1* I signed up to make account. I got the app. I go to the app and can only see the Trailers!!! No way to make Either of the 2 choices of content play. This is ridiculous! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2024-06-06, version 1.1* The app crashes in the middle of an episode which is bad enough but doesn’t keep your place where you were and forces you to watch 2 1/2 minutes of commercials when it restarts. Fix it! ### 1/5 — App needs lots of work *2024-06-02, version 1.1* I started to watch one of the two movies on this streaming service and cast it to my smart tv but I couldn't finish. The app would constantly disconnect. The series looks very good but if you can't finish it, it makes it useless. I may try it again in a few months and see if they work the bugs out. Sadly they may not be around long if they ignore the inherent problems the app has. When I could get it to work it was constantly buffering and I have gigabit service, it must be their network. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not happy *2026-06-15, version 1.5* I just signed on and thought this was a free service. Then I saw that you can pay more money to get the pro service and then I went and looked at all the reviews and thought you know what I’m not gonna even bother with this so I immediately got off. You can go ahead and be the guinea pig. Not me. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2026-05-25, version 1.5* This app in frustrating. The sound cuts out after the commercials. You have to close out of the app to reset it. And that doesn’t always work. Wish it was better ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2026-01-09, version 1.5* Lots of commercials but also the shows stop after the commercials and a frozen screen is there. Try to fast forward and it goes backwards, try to go back and it jumps ahead. This needs some serious work ### 1/5 — Omg *2026-01-05, version 1.5* This may just be the worst possible idea I have ever seen for an app. It sounds good and it's free, so of course you would expect occasional ads. What you would not expect is to have to sit through the same four ads, even if you stopped and then resume. There they are again. This is nothing short of hostage-taking in the wonderful world of app advertising. Obviously they can do it however they want. Equal obviously we don't have to cooperate. I have deleted the app and recommend you do the same. ### 1/5 — The worst *2025-12-27, version 1.5* First of all, you cannot stream through Chromecast. Second, the ads are way too long and there are far too many. Did not even get to start the show I wanted to watch. I am deleting this app now. ### 1/5 — Could NOT be worse! *2025-12-23, version 1.5* Pure drivel! There’s literally not one single show I would watch on this platform. I paid for the upgrade for additional content, but nothing showed up except for a very few horrible shows. There’s literally no way to contact anyone for a refund! PLEASE! DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS APP. AND DO NOT PAY THEM TO UPGRADE!!! You won’t get what you paid for!! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-12-21, version 1.5* Zero stars. In the promotional advertising they claimed they were superior to the other streaming services, they even showed logos of the other services. “The Network” does not offer any of the thousands of movies and programs that the other streaming services offer. I sent them an email and asked him if I could cancel my subscription, they never replied, I asked my credit card company to cancel the charge. This app is terrible and should be removed from the App Store immediately. ### 1/5 — No selection *2025-12-20, version 1.5* There are only 30 titles. That’s it. Although some seem interesting. But $5/mo for only 30 title? Really? ### 1/5 — Commercials Scam *2025-12-10, version 1.4* So Mandy Patinkin plugged The Network on Stephen Colbert last night. I had never heard of the streaming service before and downloaded the app. I saw that the free version was commercial supported. That’s fine so is the base version of Peacock. But the Peacock app actually works properly, especially when it comes to dealing with blocks of ads. Before committing to see The Artist I figured I’d watch something in free mode that was 90 minutes long. With all the frustrating hoops I had to jump through I eventually ended up watching at least 45 minutes of ads for a 90 minute program. are the programmers of the app just that inept, or am I being scammed to sign up for the pay service? Either way I’m trashing this app. I’d never heard of The Network before this, and I never want to hear of it again! ### 1/5 — God, I Wanted to Love This *2025-12-03, version 1.4* How utterly frustrating!! Got the app to watch “The Artist” which looks so good. However, there is no way I’m subjecting myself to the constant freezes that force you to restart the app and sit through the ads you’ve already seen umpteen times just for it to freeze again. Is this some kind of joke??? It’s not funny. I can’t believe there was an update four months ago to fix bugs. From the review dates it looks like it got worse instead of better. This was a test to see if I wanted to go premium, if these glitches are intentional to get viewers to upgrade, it’s a big fail. I’m so glad I didn’t waste my money! Warning to others who might get duped: DON’T DO IT! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The new HBO *2026-01-28, version 1.5* Platform has a few bugs to work out but doesn’t any new app? Bottom line, the content feels like HBO on steroids - brilliant stuff ### 5/5 — Nicely curated programming *2026-01-24, version 1.5* I really enjoyed the deliberate choice of shows and movies on this app. It feels deliberate, in a good way. And I can watch them for free. ### 5/5 — Amazing programming! *2026-01-22, version 1.5* Can’t say enough about this new platform. Paid for the upgrade to pro which was well worth the $$. Averages out to be less than $4/month for some incredible and original television. Can’t wait to see what’s new each month. Really beautiful storytelling and I love that I can support independent tv this way! ### 5/5 — SHOWS ARE SOOOO GOOD *2026-01-22, version 1.5* Incredibly impressed with the platform, how’s its arranged and the actual shoes are original and quality, brilliant performances by John Legozamo, and The Artist, has many really wonderful actors, give it a try ### 5/5 — FREE + INSANELY GOOD SHOWS *2026-01-22, version 1.5* I disagree with other reviews, I easily logged in, had no problem, it’s definitely free and the shows I’ve never seen before on any other platform. The shows are also so good, highly recommend ### 5/5 — Enjoyed The Green Veil *2024-05-31, version 1.1* This was a really good series. I binged it all in one afternoon. Thanks for offering it for free. That was cool. 😊🩷 There are a few little bugs in the app, but I figured it out. ### 5/5 — Unable to reset password :-s *2024-05-08, version 1.1* **Update: TKU to TheNetwork Developer, for quick response & assistance re resetting my password. I recvd email w/reset directions & have successfully secured new password, & began watching The Green Veil via our AppleTV. Very plsd w/wuality of viewing & appreciate great responsiveness of Developer/TechSupport. I will look fw to seeing what other programs become available on this network. TKU again! Excited to try this new network that I heard abt via tv program The View—downloaded app, set up my account, was able to see the 2 programs currently streaming; however, when I logged off & tried to log back in, recvd an error mssg. Tried to reset password numerous times, but have yet to recv an email w/further directions. When I try to create a new acct, my email is recognized as alrdy in use.

Hoping that tech support can help me reset my password. ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-05-01* Love this all and good shows ### 5/5 — Great! *2024-05-01, version 1.0* Saw John Leguizamo talking about this tv. Green Veil is a great show and looking forward to seeing more of what the network has to offer. Plus, it’s free! ### 5/5 — It’s a free app that works perfectly so far *2024-04-30* For me, the app is working perfectly. I’m currently watching The Green Veil. It’s a well paced and engaging drama, with outstanding performances. I’m grateful to be watching this for free! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
