The app isn't the greatest, but it works ok. I installed it to watch the Tour de France, which was great, and now I'll pick up some other shows on the app. There's more good shows than I expected. Looks like buying the TV rights to the cycling was worth it for 5!

Never buffers it's just the adverts they are quite often
★★★★☆Mikey James· Apr 18, 2026
A great app. Frequently good programs & only a few adds. ALSO, THANKS FOR SHOWING SNOOKER :).
★☆☆☆☆jack spiers· Jul 8, 2026
Probably the most dysfunctional app on my phone. Randomly started the previous episode halfway through the adverts of the subsequent episode, then proceeded to restart all the ads again when I went back to click resume. Inability to resume your episode from the right point, seems to start again (with more ads) then will make you watch every advert again. Genuinely painful to use. Avoid at all costs

Awful app, often get pixelated view or blurry picture more often than not, but works fine when ads pop up. Always loses where you are in a program, so you have to find it again and watch more ads to do so.

I can't even register with the app. Tried again over a year later and still can't register
