Very frustrating and annoying. The app needs better testing before open to public. Hope this problem will be resolved soon. ### 3/5 — Sound slippage and no background sound only *2026-01-27, version 4.0.0* The old version can use sound mode to listen to live TV on background for use other app. This version will stop whenever I watch to other app. Another bug is sound slippage and play again every few seconds when watching the live of 82 channel. I’m using iOS most updated version. ### 1/5 — 不如叫TVB廣告app *2025-04-22, version 3.5.7* 廣告多到新聞都播放唔到 ### 1/5 — Bad connection *2025-03-28, version 3.5.5* The worst Apps in my iPhone 16 pro. It loses connection repeatedly during listening. Also, the program keeps repeating and overlaps, seem like echo. ### 1/5 — Sluggish *2024-09-05* The apps is very sluggish especially when scrolling up and down, no response sometimes like stuck, looks like it is due to loading ads, the ads appear in between news too frequent and too annoying making this app not only not enjoyable but close to unusable. Also took too long to open the video. ### 1/5 — I cant update it! Horrible app *2024-06-03* Fix i ### 1/5 — Ads everywhere *2024-05-19, version 3.5.0* When I watch the news and search the news, the ad appears, I really don’t like it when it always happened. ### 1/5 — 越来越差 *2024-01-14, version 3.4.0* 这个app越来越差，经常在打开它时另到我的iPad死机 ### 1/5 — 最近有无穷无尽的广告！简直无法观看！！ *2023-11-19* 无穷无尽的广告！也不能Skip. 出完又出，新闻播放中也切断去广告。而且不能跳过。简直无法观看！可能说是垃圾新闻播放器。已经不是无线新闻播放了！非常遗憾 ### 1/5 — Advertising takes more time than news! *2023-11-19* If you want to watch *any* video news on this APP, you have to FIRST watch 8 advertisements which will take about 5 minutes. The video news piece will last less than one minute! This advertisement viewing is required for EVERY video news! It is the biggest scam to viewers’ time. ### 1/5 — Too too too much advertisement *2023-11-19, version 3.4.0* Don’t have time to waiting for advertisement after advertisement to finish watching one piece of news. I’m very disappointed. Even one piece of advertisement before each piece of news was ideal but acceptable. Now… I just turn it off. ### 1/5 — The app needs to close completely if it’s been idle on the background *2022-10-17* If u close the sound stream and leave it on the background, the next time you play the sound stream again, it will only play about 30 seconds to a minute then stop completely. You will need to exit the app completely to get it play again. The old version before the redesign didn’t have this issue. ### 1/5 — After Update can no longer watching the news, terrible apps *2022-09-05* 因為疫情的關係，我無法回香港，只有靠這個新聞網站，但是最近不能看只能收聽，實在太可惜，希望TVB能夠再次讓住在北美的人可以收看，否則沒有意思。 ### 2/5 — No sound after update *2022-08-31* Problems with the update version, either video with NO sound or using the audio channel only, and appears to have so many ads that is so annoying, see if the audio problem remains or delete the app. ### 1/5 — J C *2022-07-18, version 3.0.0* Jack Chiu terrible news mobile app……!!!!! ### 1/5 — 更新後不再有高清 *2022-07-16, version 3.0.0* 更新後不再有高清。唉 ### 1/5 — 真垃圾！ *2022-07-16, version 3.0.0* 更新变成只能听声频，不能看视频。真垃圾！ ### 1/5 — Two-Faced News with Ordinary App *2022-06-30, version 2.7.2* TVB is a leading media company in Hong Kong. It should provide news contents that independently verified by yourselves. Unfortunately, what citizens can see here is either “love country” PR stunt or direct citation of Western mainstream news media contents without fact-checking. It’s quite dismal that a good application without professionally verified contents. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Live stream or audio stream still not working in 4.1.2 *2026-07-26* Live stream or audio stream still not working in 4.1.2 ### 1/5 — New App is bad, TVB New+ *2026-07-14* The livestream and audio cannot play. ### 1/5 — 在紐約根本睇唔到視頻內容 *2026-03-29, version 4.0.4* 人在紐約，舊無線新聞apps已經要點好多次先可以睇視頻，宜家更新埋連睇都睇唔到，有無搞錯！ ### 1/5 — 可唔可以用舊版 *2026-02-01, version 4.0.0* 越做越差，技術水平太落後，簡單介面變复習，多了解市場須求，幾十年招牌都保唔著 ### 1/5 — The worst app ever *2026-01-30, version 4.0.0* Really trash, after updated cannot play at background. When watching news ad suddenly pop out. Live content always repeat itself for a few seconds. Download it cos want to watch news and finance during transportation but it can’t even meet minimal requirement. Don’t download it. Waste of resource ### 1/5 — New version seems not compatible to IPhone OS *2026-01-26, version 4.0.0* After opened the App, screen turned in green and flashed to white. Nothing happened then. ### 1/5 — New App is bad, TVB New+ *2026-01-23* The audio stream will stop playing if you switch tap in the app or minimize the app. The old app works perfectly. ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2025-11-27* This is a News app, not entertainment. Why do you put so many ads in it. Are you trying to bring people professional news or professional marketing? Gotta at least remove half of the ads. ### 1/5 — which idiot executive decided to add 10 Ads? *2025-09-19* As per title ### 1/5 — Forever advertisement once you start up the app？ *2025-08-06, version 3.5.8* It is really annoying that there is the 拼多多advertisement emerged when I first start up the app. The advertisement does not provide any icon to skip no matter how long you wait for the news! I have never experienced that before. Does TVB want us to shift to other news stations？ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cannot play at background anymore, don’t update *2026-01-27, version 4.0.0* Cannot play at background anymore, don’t update ### 5/5 — add iPad version ！tvb news *2021-10-09* Be tenacious and always do the best. tvb values：make it ### 5/5 — Patrick *2021-01-01* Great app, but pop-up ad always freezes for a long long time.
