### 2/5 — Casting to TV causes disconnection during ads

*2026-05-23, version 2.30.1*

Honestly if you watch shows on the app via laptop, ipad or phone directly, it won't be an issue.

The problem starts when casting to the TV - whenever ads come on, it interrupts the casting, shuts the show down, and you have to reconnect and cast it again.

Also happens when rewinding. 

Drives me insane lol.

### 1/5 — Idiots making everything pay now

*2025-09-23, version 2.28.0*

There used to be some tv show are free and some pay so I will subscribe, now all of them need to pay guess what will people do, dumb investors

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2025-06-04, version 2.25.0*

This app keeps crashing and will not load when I select an episode. I’ve given up and unsubscribed.

### 2/5 — Clunky software, needs improvement

*2025-04-23*

Software is clunky, chrome cast is problematic, should improve for better experience for users. Also can you fix The Greed of Man 大時代 episode 37 has no sound.. elderly is unhappy.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused. Our team is working to enhance the app’s performance and address issues like Chrome Cast functionality. Regarding The Greed of Man episode 37, we’ll investigate and resolve the sound issue promptly. Please feel free to contact us at cs@tvbanywhere.com for further assistance.

### 1/5 — Apple TV app required

*2024-10-30*

Apple TV version is required.
The TVB box keeps crashing and hanging.
The TVB app on iOS / iPadOS works perfectly.
Please makes this available on Apple TV, so I can enjoy this service with my family

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comments. Our development team is working on this and hopefully, our service can be used on Apple TV soon.

### 1/5 — Stupid ads

*2024-10-28, version 2.23.0*

Paid subscription but the ads are annoying. 2 ads per episode.

### 1/5 — TVVB, not anywhere.

*2024-09-24, version 2.23.0*

Not available in NZ. 

Waste of time downloading the app and trying to check costs for subscription.

### 1/5 — Where is the Apple TV version

*2024-08-30, version 2.22.0*

Why this app isn’t available on Apple TV?

### 1/5 — Poor app

*2024-06-16, version 2.22.0*

Really poorly designed app. Did anything test this? So many errors and not user friendly.

### 1/5 — No Apple TV Support

*2024-03-30, version 2.20.0*

For a TV streaming service to NOT support Apple TV in 2024 is wild. Why pay money for a service you can only watch on iPhone or iPad and not Apple TV. North America has a TVB app for Apple TV and Australia gets ripped off.

### 1/5 — Shocking

*2024-02-26*

No AirPlay support. No Apple TV app. No wonder why HK and China are so behind in design and development. 

The talent are all gone lol.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comments. Our development team is working on this and hopefully, our service can be used on Apple TV soon. Please write to us at cs@tvbanywhere if you have further comments.

### 1/5 — Have to give up .

*2023-12-30, version 2.19.0*

After a few times Subscription, cancel then renew again, finally have to give up, keep loading…stop for no reason, pay £14.99 per month and just rip off. even the copy TV box loads faster and more to watch.

### 1/5 — No AirPlay or Apple TV support

*2023-12-03*

The app is very Apple user unfriendly…. First, there is no native Apple TV app… and you can’t even AirPlay the shows? They really should fix this.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comments. Our development team is working on this and hopefully, our service can be used on Apple TV soon. Please write to us at cs@tvbanywhere if you have further comments.

### 1/5 — Always logout

*2023-12-02*

It asks me pair the connection between my iPhone app and LG daily

### 1/5 — Can’t watch almost everything, waste my time

*2023-09-30, version 2.18.0*

Waste my time downloading it.

### 2/5 — Chromecast function not working

*2023-09-06, version 2.18.0*

After clicking the Chromecast icon, it pops up a blank “Connect to device” screen, nothing shows after waiting for a long time. It worked straight away with YouTube. Please fix the Chromecast function as it’s very useful.

### 1/5 — Apple TV not supported

*2026-07-28, version 2.30.1*

Apple TV not supported and why do we have ads?

### 1/5 — Even you pay you will have many ads

*2026-07-14, version 2.30.1*

Ads every 15 mins come out when you pay or not, why you pay?

### 1/5 — The Chinese people made this app are stupid

*2026-04-21*

Can download episodes but not watch off line, what’s the point?
App unresponsive frequently.
Cannot watch in picture mode, so cannot do other tasks on phone and have it run in the background.

### 1/5 — Service is not available in nz

*2026-04-19, version 2.30.1*

Unlike other streaming services App, the subscription process is very complicated. Thinking of downloading this app and pay by credit card and can activate the subscription and start enjoying the most popular tv show on your device on Sunday night? Not at all. Apparently in Nz, there is a reseller managing the sales and there is lack of information about the whole process. The official link of this reseller on TVB Anywhere official website is a bad link too. I cannot get much information from the reseller website either. I genuinely wish to support the official channel and happy to pay but the process is too difficult. I spent the last hour trying to figure out where i can watch one of the popular tv show but i have to give up. I just want to watch on my computer and phone only.  First i thought it would be as easy as Disney plus or Netflix, but its very disappointed that this app is not what i expected.

### 1/5 — Service not available in NZ

*2026-04-07, version 2.30.1*

While in the description mentioned it serving worldwide, it says this service is not available in New Zealand when I try to subscribe within the app. Very disappointing and misleading.

### 1/5 — Please fix

*2026-03-04*

Doesn’t work anymore, please fix it!

### 1/5 — Drama movies

*2026-02-20*

I keep getting ads while watching a show. I paid for a membership not to watch ads!!!! There weren't so many ads before, but now there are tons of ads every time I watch a show.

**Developer response:** We sincerely apologize for the previous ad experience. Our team has already adjusted the ad settings, and the app should now display ads at a more reasonable frequency. Thank you for your feedback — it helps us improve.

### 1/5 — Sudden jump in ads

*2026-01-24*

This app used to be okay with a few ads here and there, usually one at the beginning of an episode and one at the end. But the issue here is that now - very recently - near the Mid-Autumn festival this year 2025 they have started dropping 6-7 adverts for Wong Wong Moon Cakes. That many for a 40 minute episode. That’s madness! Even Netflixs’ cheapest subscription doesn’t drop that many adverts in one episode. This makes me want to not buy Wong Wong Moon Cakes. Why do this TVB? 為什麼?

Update 24th Jan 2026: so the advert frequency has fallen for sure, however when watching any drama episodes or variety shows, the stream would suddenly blink black and load for 2 seconds before continuing the program, which ruins the immersion. These areas are clearly where the extra ads used to be inserted but were removed following complaints, but instead of smoothing out the streaming process they just took the ads out so the sections would try to load, load nothing and then continue the program. This is very lazy TVB, fix this!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We've adjusted the ad frequency to improve your viewing experience. Please let us know if you have any further suggestions or concerns. We truly appreciate your support and patience!

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-11-24, version 2.29.0*

Makes you watch ads before the app loads and does not support apple tv.

### 1/5 — Need SharePlay via FaceTime Support

*2025-10-16*

Please implement a support for SharePlay, so we can watch with another person using Apple FaceTime SharePlay functionality.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your suggestion regarding SharePlay support. We truly appreciate your interest in enhancing the shared viewing experience.

At the moment, TVBAnywhere does not yet support Apple TV or SharePlay functionality. Currently, our app is available on mobile devices and selected smart TVs, including Samsung and Android TV platforms. However, we understand the value of synchronized viewing via FaceTime and will definitely pass your feedback to our product team for future consideration.

We’re always working to improve and expand our platform, and your input helps guide our development. Thank you again for your support!
