I just love it so much ♥️♥️♥️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer works on Apple TV *2023-09-25* While this app works on my iPhone, the Apple TV version no longer plays any videos at all. The spinner spins forever. With this most recent release, the developer broke the Apple TV version. I’m not going to use this app on a tiny iPhone screen when I have a 4k screen connected to an Apple TV. Either fix the Apple TV version or get rid of it if you’re not planning on supporting it. The Apple TV version worked prior to this newest release. ### 1/5 — Well we had a good run *2021-05-26* This application. At first it was great you could watch the shows no commercials. After a couple of months it would occasional have commercials around 2 or 3. Now there are so many commercials they go on longer then the show you are watching. I lose cont after 10. Now if they were different that would be one thing they are not. At this point i would not bother with it. ### 3/5 — So weird *2026-01-01, version 2.1* I’m watching my first episode on True Crime since downloading the app on my phone 20 minutes ago. I swear to God it sounds like Hulk Hogan is the narrator…😂🤣😂 I just hope to give the app a chance and don’t hear Hulk Hogan‘s voice in every episode... 😂🤣😂 ### 3/5 — Too many advertisements! *2020-08-24* I thought this app was going to be great. After countless ads of the same thing over and over again, interrupting the story and then having to listen to the commentator come back on and repeat what I had already just watched was very disappointing. Will just go back to my recordings. ### 4/5 — True Crime Network *2026-01-10, version 2.1* I like seeing true crimes being solved. ### 4/5 — Must see *2025-11-28, version 2.1* Great shows ### 4/5 — great *2025-10-18, version 2.1* the app is great in so many ways but the only downside is the occasional glitches ### 4/5 — A Hub For True Crime *2025-08-04, version 2.1* True Crime Network is a go-to for me now.
