Comments on Channel 4 for Android

★★★★★ Jim Cooke · Aug 10, 2026

Advertising a bit annoying, maybe they could just show adverts with films etc. in the place of the adverts.

★★★★☆ Tiannah Dennis · Jul 24, 2026

Freezing every time I want to. Watch titanic on channel 4 but good shows. But im still sad charmed, Big Bang Theory and watching that are boring. But, i won't use this app every hour. 40% out of 100%

★★★★☆ Gary Boothman · Aug 22, 2026

Lm new to this can't understand why it gives me such a short time to watch a 6 series program

★★★★★ Simon · Aug 6, 2026

Choice film and series for free and C4 even give us free downloads of films and serials. NO OTHER free to use TV platform gives that for free!!!

★★★★★ Ian Hamilton · Aug 1, 2026

Quality British Comedy, highly entertaining.

★☆☆☆☆ Frazer Pacy · Sep 1, 2026

Paid the subscription fee, and I'm still having to watch 3 minutes worth of adverts while watching celebrity hunted on demand

★☆☆☆☆ Ian G. · Aug 19, 2026

There revenue is from ads, but now you have to pay for the most recent programs

★☆☆☆☆ Siobhan Louise · Sep 11, 2026

Awful app. 4 mins of ads at least 3x a program which freeze halfway through, so you have to close the program that you're watching, which then restarts the whole 4 mins of ads, only to go through the whole rigmarole again! I gave up after the 3rd attempt. You even have to watch ads now if you PAY for "ad free" as they show approx a minute of various things before the program you want to watch actually starts! Not sure how they can get away with that.
