So must for the app design. If plan itsself they are not able to process what else these guys provide service. Just uninstalling ### 1/5 — Very Poor First-Time Experience – Ads Keep Freezing and Playback Issues *2026-07-28* I started using ZEE5 for the first time, but unfortunately my experience has been very disappointing. Whenever I’m watching a movie or series, the ads that play in between frequently get stuck, even though I have a strong and stable internet connection. It’s extremely frustrating because the app doesn’t recover on its own. Even after completely closing and reopening the app, the ad remains stuck. The only way to continue is to open the episode again, but then sometimes the episode plays only the audio with no video. I have to repeat this process multiple times before I can finally watch the episode properly. This issue happens repeatedly and seriously affects the overall viewing experience. I hope the ZEE5 team fixes these playback and ad-related issues as soon as possible. ### 1/5 — From Broadcast to Breakdown: ZEE5’s World Cup Shame *2026-07-27* I am giving ZEE5 a very poor rating for their FIFA World Cup coverage due to repeated, unacceptable streaming problems. - Frequent app crashes: The app would crash repeatedly, especially during halftime and at critical moments like the semi-finals and final. Each crash forced me to fully close and reopen the app, causing me to miss several minutes of live action. - Persistent loading/UI issues: A loading button frequently overlaid the video, blocking the view. This got worse over the course of matches and across multiple games. - Severe video quality problems: High-arcing balls and aerial play caused noticeable flickering and pixelation. The HD quality was inconsistent and poor at times when clarity mattered most. - Audio/clip sync and playback glitches: The app sometimes treated goals or fouls as abrupt playback failures, interrupting the experience and causing confusion. - Unreliable playback recovery: After a crash, the app often failed to reload the live stream immediately. Reconnecting took time and often resulted in missing key moments. These recurring technical failures show that ZEE5 lacked the infrastructure and testing required to reliably broadcast an event of this scale. For an audience as large and passionate as India’s football fanbase, this performance is unacceptable. I urge ZEE5 to either fix these systemic issues before bidding for future live sports rights or refrain from taking on broadcasting rights they cannot support. ### 1/5 — Lots of bug and ads *2026-07-23, version 33.4.1* Worst OTT app ever I paid ### 1/5 — Rubbish Streaming Service *2026-07-23, version 33.4.1* I am trying to watch a few shows in the UK on my Apple TV 4K device and I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable and still it’s buffering every few minutes and sometimes every few seconds. The streaming service is rubbish and paying for a substandard subscription. All other streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Shemaroo and stream absolutely fine and only have problems with your streaming services. You really do need to improve your streaming services. I will certainly not be renewing my subscription until you have made improvements. Stay Away From This Streaming Service And Platform. ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-07-20, version 33.4.1* Poorly designed app. Tedious to open, tiring to activate tv and impossible for seniors to use. Shameful. ### 1/5 — Pathetic excuse *2026-07-19, version 33.4.1* Check the number of outrages faced during FIFA 2026 - Took away the rights of watching FIFA world-cup as there is no other option except ZEE 5 - Taking extra money specially for FIFA subscription - As a fan I purchased the 3 month plan for 1 device as no one in family is interested other than me. But after watching quarter and semis I was eager to see the finals but instead of watching a match I have to write this review. - Coz i am not able to see the match due to error showing number of devices exceeded though i know I am the only one awake and trying with single device only. Still i go to settings and removed all other devices many times and tried in Mobile, TV, laptop, each gadget 4-5 times. - Contact us, Help support chat, FAQs all checked, Tried in different devices but error is the same. Tried purchasing new subscription but showing you have active plan so that also didn’t work. - Specially waking till 2:00am and trying to stream final match for 1.5 hours i had to write this with anger and very disappointed service from Zee5. - Cancelling all the subscriptions. Everyone deserves at least any sport’s bigger tournaments final match rights. ### 1/5 — Zero Star Application *2026-07-19* I have been using this app for the last 40 days to watch the World Cup, and I can confidently say it is the worst app I have ever seen in my life. It is completely unusable, constantly crashes, and has turned what should be an exciting tournament into a daily exercise in frustration. And the absolute worst part? The Ads. Every single time the app tries to hit an ad break, the entire system completely hangs and freezes. You are forced to close the app and start the agonizing 15-minute loading process all over again, missing crucial moments of the live match. Before customer support tries to paste a generic reply blaming my network: my internet connection is super fast. Every other streaming service works flawlessly in 4K. This is entirely a failure of your broken, poorly optimized software. Ridiculous app. Avoid at all costs if you actually want to watch live sports. ### 1/5 — Wil not recommend *2026-07-19, version 33.4.1* 10 times changes the video quality at a same time on hd-1080 but nothing happens Video keeps runing on 240 While watching fifa quick highlights . Last - Indian application hai itna to expect kiya ja sakta hai . ### 1/5 — Poor App *2026-07-19, version 33.4.1* Poor User interface, subscription packs would be worth it if the content was organised better, good content is hidden with how everything is laid out. No chance to preview, watch a trailer or read a description of the content, content just starts. ### 1/5 — Pathetic app *2026-07-19, version 33.4.1* Nothing works properly. Takes ages to sign in. Gets crushed at high load. Even IRCTC does a better job. ### 3/5 — To Much Buffering *2026-07-18, version 33.4.1* The platform needs to be updated and need to troubleshoot cause i have tried the Add ons site as well which is so slow ### 1/5 — Worst platform ever *2026-07-17, version 33.4.1* 2 problems: 1. I have 4k plan but can’t stream 4k in laptop or pc. Their excuse is max supported resolution in laptop is just 576p that too in 2026. Terrible. 2. No movies load properly. I have internet speed of 500mbps stable ### 1/5 — 0 Star from me *2026-07-15, version 33.4.1* After Downloaded the app there is a big problem on subscription payment problem payment option available and no payment done here channel is not available for you to downloaafter useless headache sentence shows by this app ### 1/5 — Premium Subscription, Terrible Streaming Experience *2026-07-15, version 33.4.1* I have a yearly Premium subscription, and the experience has been extremely disappointing. ZEE5 simply does not work properly on my projector. Movies and live sports either keep loading indefinitely or fail to play altogether. What’s frustrating is that the issue is specific to ZEE5. Apps like Hotstar, Apple TV, and SonyLIV stream live football, cricket, and movies flawlessly on the same projector and internet connection. This clearly indicates that the problem lies with the ZEE5 app. Paying for a premium subscription and not being able to watch either movies or live sports is unacceptable. Please fix the app and improve its compatibility and performance. Until then, I cannot recommend this service. ### 1/5 — Utterly poor Customer experience *2026-07-15, version 33.4.1* Worst ### 1/5 — satluj *2026-07-14, version 33.4.1* paid for membership to watch satluj movie but they removed movie from platform without any reason ... refuse to refund as they dont have refund policy. ### 1/5 — Waste of Money - Constant Ads & Server Crashe *2026-07-13* This app is an absolute joke. I literally paid for a premium subscription just to be forced to watch 3 to 4 ads every single 20 minutes. The ads are so frequent and disruptive that they completely ruin the flow, and it makes me lose interest entirely—I eventually just give up and stop watching the movie altogether. What am I even paying for?! It gets worse—I wasted money specifically to watch FIFA, but your pathetic servers crash constantly because you can't handle the viewers. If your cheap infrastructure doesn't have the bandwidth, stop greedily buying the rights to massive tournaments! On top of that, your PC website is completely broken. I shouldn't have to constantly use Incognito mode and clear my cookies just to get a single video to load. Horrible service, zero optimization, and a total rip-off. Fix your broken platform. ### 1/5 — Worst app, worst service support *2026-07-13, version 33.4.1* This app keeps crashing, they can’t even fix this issue. They just stealing our money. ZEE5 content is available in illegal stream with better quality, so don’t buy this app. ### 1/5 — Worst *2026-07-13, version 33.4.0* While watching movie only sound coming black screen ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst app - login issues everytime *2026-08-25, version 33.5.0* 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, version 33.4.2* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Shaheed bhai Jaswant Singh khalrha ji *2026-07-06, version 33.3.0* Bohut sohni peshkash kiti ### 5/5 — SATLUJ *2026-07-06, version 33.3.0* Thank you for streaming# SATLUJ# ### 5/5 — Satluj Panjab 95 *2026-07-05, version 33.3.0* Only Subscribed for this movie ### 5/5 — رند *2026-07-03, version 33.2.0* هاذا المسلسلات نزولها باللغه العربيه يعني السوري❣️❣️فضلاً وليس امراً🤍 ### 5/5 — En colère *2026-06-29* Hello When I watch my series, the next episode does not trigger automatically, I have to go to the playlist every time to load the next episode.

I recently subscribed to your app to watch my favourite soapie “The Vow” after searching for it for years. Thank you so much for having it available, you saved my life haha! However, I realised that you also have my other favourite show “Kasamh Se” but it’s not available in English. I was wondering if you could kindly make it available in English too? As well as “KumKum Bhagya” if you can. That would make me very happy and you guys can take all of my money! Thank you for the quality content too. I have zero regrets subscribing to your app. ### 5/5 — Giod *2026-05-26, version 32.8.0* I no like ### 5/5 — Please provide more English subtitles *2026-05-19, version 32.7.0* Actually, a good selection of movies and shows. However, there are definitely a lack of English subtitles - especially for mythology content. For example the show Ramayan - Jeevan ka Aadhar. ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-03-24, version 32.5.0* Superb ### 5/5 — Very good app *2026-03-07, version 32.4.0* Works well i like --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
