Spending over £1.00 on postage when people will remember eventually and pay is therefore wasteful. More content worth watching would be nice. Less spending on high paid people would help keep the costs down. I received 4 letters in the month of January for payment arrears that I had already paid. What a waste. Still wasting money on overdue payments ### 5/5 — Balance coming down *2025-03-28* A good little app works very well . Only thing I think would help me and others is a balance showing the total bill for the license coming down as you’re making your payments on a regular basis and how much is the left to be paid. Thanks ### 3/5 — Improvements required *2024-06-11* Really good app to pay for your TVLicence. You can view previous payments but it would be better if it could show you exactly what you’ve paid, the date you paid and how much the balance outstanding is. I would have rated it higher but because it doesn’t show you how much you have left, I marked it down. Improvements are required for this app. ### 5/5 — New app *2024-01-16* This is just brilliant it makes paying so much easier I love it, I would like to see along with my payments ,what my balance is I think this is an important part, can this app be updated so we can see our balances please apart from this I think it’s a brilliant and easy way to pay for my licence and it gets people in front with there payments ### 3/5 — All kinds of problems *2023-11-27* It’s hard for me to use the app sometimes. It fortunately knows my license card number but so many times I’ve had to pay as guest. It’s declining my main card today, I had to pay with another but it’s a faff and I kind of expect it to not work when I try to use. Bonus when it’s not harder than necessary and can just let me pay with no issues. But rare. ### 3/5 — Not bad, but … *2023-11-01* The good bit. The app is pretty easy to use. Load all your info in, and just log in to pay every month. The bad bit. Nowhere on the app does it tell you how much you have left to pay. You have to guess; am I paying enough? Have I paid too much? What’s my remaining balance? It’s only if/when you get a text message saying you’re in arrears that you know you’ve not paid enough. Sort this major bugbear out and it’d become a 5* app. ### 5/5 — So simple to use *2022-10-11* This app is an easier way of paying your tv licence without the bother of having to going to a shop. You can keep an eye on your account to make sure you don’t fall behind. I’ve not had any difficulties other than when you put in your house number and postcode. It looks for your address and it seems to add a letter after your door number, I end up having to remove the letter and then review payment which goes through ok and does actually pay it to my account. I checked this as I was worried but all seems fine. It’s just a good way to pay and I would recommend. ### 1/5 — British Biased Corporation *2022-08-07* I have finished paying for my TV license for this service provided by the most corrupt and robbing the poor, company in the UK today. I had to do this after a visit from one of their thug tv license enforcement team, who gained access to my property under the pretence that they were from a delivery company. You do not have to let these thugs into your property to prove you are watch British Biased Corporation service, this is why they lie and cheat their way into your property, and the extortionate amount that you have to pay for such a crap service is unreal. The TV license should be scrapped and the British Biased Corporation should get their revenue from advertising like ITV. ### 5/5 — No choice *2022-06-14* App allows payments to be paid so easily, without fuss or confusion. Also you get a reminder if you have missed a payment, so there are no excuses. Worth having, especially if you haven’t the time to go to a pay point, or you don’t like to pay by direct debit. This is also perfect for people who get paid weekly, as the payments seem more manageable . ### 1/5 — TVL APP is so easy and handy! *2022-03-21* Great for managing my tv license account for the payment scheme, and although I begrudgingly pay regularly due to being bullied into it being paid on the exact date when each payment date is due, due to the harsh threat of cancelling my license if I do not pay this amount on that day. All down to me paying extra each fortnight, so there is enough to cover that payment if I forget and it is a little late but before the next due payment!!!! So now yous have forced me to pay extra in my payment plan due to “missed payments”. Now how do yous work that out exactly???! ## Frequently asked questions about TVL Pay ### What devices is TVL Pay compatible with?
