### 1/5 — Worst app - login issues everytime

*2026-08-25*

Worst app logs out every week and this time no option to login in back . What is the use of having a membership when you can’t login account .. very frustrating and one more force updates next annoying thing . If u don’t update you can’t use the app . Most of the time goes there . 


Never suggest this app. ZEE5 could afford a good developer for this app .

### 1/5 — Badd

*2026-08-23, version 33.5.0*

I  purchased a premium membership for watching with add and then add is coming .very bad app and don’t download this type app and don’t pay any membership to this app
Very very bad app

### 1/5 — 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

*2026-08-13, version 33.4.2*

I was forced to take 4K version Dolby as the App version won’t be showing any other plans, expect the highest plan. That’s kind of cheap strategies pulling audiences to pay the highest plan. I was shocked by looking at other plans when I opened the Zee5 Website through browser. Also, the Dolby is the worst dolby I never experienced. I had the Dolby Atoms Samsung 11.1.4 at my home and I had the worst experience with Zee 5.

### 1/5 — I have paid for this application twice no use still is not activated and I have lost my money

*2026-08-10*

I have done purchase of 3 months pack cost of 15 pounds the subscription not activated waste of purchase this happened for me two times when I try to contact customer support no response one of the worst service and worst application I ever see in my life do not buy this this application waste.

### 1/5 — Glitchy and troublesome

*2026-08-10*

The only thing worse than this app is the web browser version. They successfully ruined the World Cup which is actually free and easy to watch in other countries. How did they do that?

1. Forced people to subscribe for 3 months or a year, when the WC runs for only about 5 weeks. 
2. Once subscribed, the app and browser doesn’t recognise your account has paid the money. 
3. I had to log-in 3-4x every session for some reason. 
4. The first time I was not able to rewind during a live broadcast. Previous years, this was possible. I’m not sure if this is Zee5’s fault or a change in the way it was broadcasted. 
5. The maximum quality being 1080p and not 4K. I also heard some people were stuck at 720p. What kind of quality is this in the year 2026?
6. Only being able to watch one screen at a time after paying that much. 
7. This is the first time every break has been riddled with ads and the broadcast doesn’t show enough of the players and the matches. Even the final, they cut to the pundits and didn’t even keep it running till the team left the stadium. 

All in all, I feel the bulk of us have been robbed. I still have that silly sub even though the WC ended 3 weeks ago! None of their content looks good and I don’t think the price is justified or that the service delivered. My favourite bit was when Jio started streaming the World Cup for free and I could stop relying 100% on Zee5. 

Goodbye and good riddance. Please do us a favour and don’t bid on any other competitions unless you are able to provide a good service to the millions of us that will tune in.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-08-08, version 33.4.2*

I paid for a 1-month subscription, but it only allows Malayalam content. To watch Tamil, or any other language I need to pay extra  ₹129 again.

On top of that, I still see ads even after paying. This is very disappointing. I won’t be subscribing again.

### 1/5 — app

*2026-08-03, version 33.4.2*

extremely bad app. Can’t download and goes horizontal to vertical on its own

### 1/5 — No contact details no response. Terrible service even after paying every month by direct debit

*2026-08-03, version 33.4.2*

Just awful experience with app and response

### 1/5 — My review

*2026-08-02, version 33.4.2*

I don’t like it, in the language of your choice is what was advertised but I can neither find the exact series I want either in English audio or even English subtitles even after subscribing for all languages still most of the old series I want to watch don’t even have any English subtitles

### 1/5 — Hello developers

*2026-07-31, version 33.4.2*

The iPad app needs serious improvement. When I tap on a TV show or web series, it immediately starts playing the first episode instead of showing the list of available episodes. This creates a very poor user experience.

If I’ve already watched Episode 1 and want to continue with Episode 2, I can’t simply select it. I have to wait through the ads, let the episode start, go back, and even then tapping the show again just opens Episode 1 instead of letting me choose another episode.

Please add an episode list screen before playback starts, or at least provide an easy way to browse and select any episode. This is a basic feature that every streaming app should have. I hope the iPad app is improved soon.
