### 1/5 — Tv ads every 5 mins and they freeze sometimes

*2024-01-28*

Tv ads every 5 mins is the biggest problem. I can’t get through one episode without wanting to turn it off. And they freeze sometimes, Ya I don’t think I can get through the whole season of Q and I really like the show. I’ll watch it when it doesn’t have ads someday I guess. Not sure why they purposely ruined the shows with so many commercials.

### 1/5 — Buggy, broken app

*2023-12-18*

As stated by multiple reviews, the Vice TV app is so riddled with bugs that it is rendered nonfunctional. The developer seems to have neglected the app, given that the last update was >1 year ago, despite repeated reviews specifically describing persistent and pervasive bugs.

Apple should remove this from the App Store until the developers demonstrate some baseline competence with regards to addressing these show stoping bugs.

### 1/5 — Will some TV Network please fund this channel I heard they filed bankruptcy

*2023-10-20*

Because right now this is the time when like all the good reporting would happen with virus but there’s nothing because I heard they filed a chapter 11 bankruptcy and I haven’t seen any new Contin come except like weird horoscope emails once a week and so I guess they’ve just resorted to web news but that’s just really depressing

### 1/5 — Absolute worst app I’ve ever downloaded

*2023-10-03*

Since i bought the first iPhone, this has been the worst app I’ve ever downloaded (the Vice Apple TV app is just as terrible) anytime i try to log into my tv provider, i get a server error.

If I try to use a free pass, sometimes the video loads, other times it doesn’t. If the video doesn’t load and you try to close the app and go back in, it takes away one free pass. If the video does actually play, you can’t pause, rewind or fast forward because none of the buttons respond. After the first few minutes, an ad plays then once the ad is over, the show restarts from the beginning. Sometimes the volume works, sometimes it doesn’t. 

Its done this on multiple phones and multiple iOS versions. It’s absolute trash.

### 1/5 — Too many bugs and commercials to actually use

*2023-09-21*

When watching a show, after you make it through the commercials, you lose the video functions like seek, play, and pause. Then when it goes to yet another commercial, the audio of the show is still playing along with the commercial! It can’t save your spot in your show, so you’re always starting from scratch and seeking - until you lose the seek function and are simply stuck. 

This app is terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

### 5/5 — Love the app ❤️

*2023-09-05*

It’s the year 2023. What in my opinion is, we live in a on demand world with entertainment 🌎 and entertainment only 🇺🇸 🌎 you use the vice app the way it’s designed. And vice tv app is cool 😎

### 1/5 — Impossible to use

*2023-08-30*

This app repeatedly crashes. I can’t watch more than 10 minutes of a show before it crashes. It is missing basic functions, like the ability to search for a show. Also, having only one advertisement play over and over is very irritating.

### 1/5 — Literally the worst

*2023-08-14*

Don’t bother trying to pause or choose another episode to watch because it won’t let you. The app is horrible and there are so many glitches that make it impossible to watch any content. Yet they clearly don’t care.

### 1/5 — Freezes more than plays

*2023-08-12*

App constantly freezes up. Doesn’t save TV provider from one use to the next. Not user friendly at all. It would be nice to watch the content, but the app barely ever works.

### 1/5 — Pause and play? Nope. Basic functions don’t work

*2023-08-08*

This app is awful. If you minimize and reopen the app, the buttons to resume playback disappear half the time. You have to leave the video and come back, and then it will punish you with relentless, repetitive ads. Vice, DO BETTER.
