Comments on Channel 4 for Android

★★★★☆ Matthew MacKenzie · Jun 6, 2026
Much improved. I am so pleased that I can now cast live TV from my mobile; this has made my F1 viewing so much better. Thank you, Channel 4.
★★★★☆ Andrew McSweeney · Jul 2, 2026
Keeps freezing mid-adverts checked necessary things my end must be channel 4's end
★★★★☆ G P · Jun 10, 2026
Double pressing the search button should bring up the keyboard like most other apps. The home screen scrolling to the top when using the back button is extremely annoying as you lose your place - someone deliberately made the app much harder to use. Otherwise, great.
★★★★☆ Hannah Lupton · May 14, 2026
The app will get stuck on the advertisement and will not continue playing the show. The only way around it at this time for myself is to back out and go in to the media player to then face another round of advertising before watching, despite having watched a round before backing out.
★★★★★ Kerry Joyce · Jun 1, 2026
Recommend watching the Tudors it's excellent, and I couldn't stop watching I binge-watched it and was gutted when it was the end
★☆☆☆☆ katie branson · May 7, 2026
Adverts freeze nearly every time and have to back out of program and start again making you watch the advert twice through, probably a tactic to pay for no ads
★★☆☆☆ Andrew Meadow · Jul 2, 2026
Just beware that if you go Ad free that a lot of the content still has promo ads for channel 4 programs. For contractual reasons. Felt a bit ripped off if I'm honest so just cancelled it.
★☆☆☆☆ Yuri · Jun 7, 2026
More ads than content. Watched 15 minutes of tv and already had three lots of adverts, each 4 minutes long. Might as well not bother.
