Like 11 ads is way to much. ### 2/5 — More adverts than the shows! *2026-07-31, version 11.3.4* Wow,11- yes 11 adverts on most breaks throughout the viewing experience, average being anything from 5-11, within my opinion is beyond ridiculous and so off putting, only just signed up and already considering not bothering again! ### 2/5 — Arrrrggggg!!!! *2026-07-28, version 11.3.4* This is a real pain. The programs on the app are great, but you can’t go add free!!! I really would pay if that was an option. Secondly when you start watching something you can’t put the program into a floating screen, as a result no multitasking while watching. Other than this great. ### 1/5 — app *2026-07-11, version 11.3.4* worst app to use to stream theres at least 8 ads ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE *2026-07-02, version 11.3.4* I don’t like the shows There’s only 1 show and that’s the news ### 1/5 — Far Too Many Adverts *2026-06-27, version 11.3.4* The amount is of adverts is ridiculous! 60% content 40% adverts gets frustrating quickly ### 1/5 — Tv connection *2026-06-24, version 11.3.4* Scanned QR code, it went well but, it brought me back to terrestrial tv, tried the streaming service, only to be brought back to QR code and so it goes, repeating. What a useless app, what a useless idea 👎 ### 5/5 — U is a great channel *2026-06-22, version 11.3.3* I like U to get some series I cannot see on other channels. Some good dramas. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — To many adverts *2026-08-29, version 11.3.5* To many adverts ### 1/5 — Two many steps back, none going forward. *2026-08-29, version 11.3.5* I’ve extensively read many of the reviews and it’s been enough to sway my choice to not download this app. It’s severely broken and with little interest in fixing it. Especially when it comes to remembering where you left off. Those adverts replaying every time you fast forward to where you’ve watched it to would drive anyone to despair. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2026-08-24, version 11.3.5* What a load of rubbish. Tried to watch a series but would not get past first round of adverts and kept playing adverts after adverts then eventually skipped 1st episode and jumped straight to 2nd episode. Useless ### 1/5 — Useless app *2026-08-14, version 11.3.5* Haven’t been able to use this app for a long time now. I know we in Cornwall like to think of ourselves as a little separate from the rest of the country, but according to the U app we are actually « a region outside the UK ». I will finally be removing the app after being unable to watch anything for months, due to being in « foreign « Cornwall. Not worth me getting wound up over any more. ### 1/5 — Too many adverts *2026-08-03, version 11.3.4* Wonderful programmes spoilt by too many repetitive awful adverts ### 1/5 — Review *2026-07-30, version 11.3.4* Way too many ads and every ten minutes ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-07-28, version 11.3.4* Worst streaming platform out there. Just an absolutely ridiculous amount of adverts and the continue watching feature doesn’t work at all. I watched a total of 6 adverts just to start a single episode, then once I skipped half way through to where I had watched previously I had to watch a further 10 adverts all at once to even get to here. And then another 6 throughout the episode. Making it a total of 22 separate adverts to watch 30 minutes of my series, some being 30 seconds long. Don’t bother downloading it. ### 1/5 — Continue Watching Bug *2026-07-13, version 11.3.4* For some reason when using the Continue Watching link from Apple TV the app launches then errors with UKTV-16-GOOD. The Refresh button doesn’t work and you have to force quit the app, relaunch then navigate to the programme from within the app. Deleting and reinstalling the app temporarily fixes the issue but it returns after a day or two. None of the other Apple TV apps display this behaviour. ### 1/5 — Adverts all the time *2026-07-12, version 11.3.4* Great choice of shows and yes it’s free. But no matter what you do you’ll be forced to watch at least 5 adverts. If you accidentally leave a show then try to play it again, you’ll have to watch 5 adverts. Re-watching a show or doing anything other than watching a show from start to finish will involve 5 to 10 adverts. It’s a bit much ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-07-11, version 11.3.4* There are far too many adds and they are on for a really long time feels like you are watching more adds than what you are your movie or tv shows ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Marlow murder club *2026-08-28, version 11.3.5* Good fun ### 5/5 — Neighbours *2026-08-28, version 11.3.5* Great to watch the old Neighbours brings back so many great memories when my children were born x ### 5/5 — Best streaming app *2026-08-21, version 11.3.5* This has the best content of any free app. Makes BBC iPlayer look second, no third rate ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-08-15, version 11.3.5* Excellent series. Cast are brilliant. Very watchable. ### 5/5 — Never leave us! *2026-08-09, version 11.3.5* Some of live for classic eastenders on a Sunday evening while our kids are with their dad. ### 5/5 — The boy that never was *2026-08-08, version 11.3.5* Excellent drama, characters great and a heart felt storyline ### 5/5 — Love Marlow murder club *2026-07-24, version 11.3.4* I must say how much I have been thoroughly enjoying the MMC series , I don’t live far from Marlow and it’s so lovely seeing it in all its glory . Well done U looking forward to the next series already , I’ve spread the news amongst my friends too. Great actors all of them . ### 5/5 — Whatever happened to the Likely Lads *2026-07-02, version 11.3.4* Brilliant.Ive just watched every episode over the course of a few days.Why can’t they make comedy like that anymore? ### 5/5 — Excellent series *2026-06-29, version 11.3.4* Really enjoyed this series, well acted and the story line is very well crafted . Highly recommended certainly worth a watch. ### 5/5 — Just brilliant *2026-06-28, version 11.3.4* Best free streaming app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
