Comments on DStv for Android

★★★★☆ Musawenkosi Mkhize · May 11, 2026

Since I've downloaded the app and am I using it, I now enjoy TV programs / channels through my DStv account ... Am glad it works for me 😊

★★★★★ Dorn arifid ochola · May 14, 2026

Exceptional, sumptuous, sweet, everything is now under my control, thanks DSTV

★★★★★ Nuwagira King Paul · May 12, 2026

it's good but it fails to work at times now

★★★★★ Tafara Bumhira · May 26, 2026

Streaming is just good,,, anywhere anytime

★☆☆☆☆ Quentin van Heerden · May 26, 2026

What an epic disappointment. It's buggy, slow and unorganized. The search function does not work, it does not even find the movie if I click on the actors name listed inside the movie. Downloaded episode does not register as watched or continue from where stopped. Content feels like I'm on a mates PVR with only a few episodes of the end of the season left. live-streaming have its place for sport, news, radio. Rest on-demand I was ready to pay, but will just have morn the loss of showman.

★★☆☆☆ Mercy Ndung'u · May 30, 2026

I don't care about those random filler channels. Just offer a fair package primarily for showman and MM. Paying kes.4,000 just so I can watch 4 episodes of Njoro wa uba per month is insane.

★☆☆☆☆ Gabriel Ifeanyi · May 11, 2026

Dstv stream doesn't open on my phone, it keeps telling me no Internet connection and this has been going on for months now. Kindly look into this issue and get it resolved. I have uninstalled and installed over 4 times but to no avail. It's very frustrating
