I rarely have issues. It works as intended. I like that it will seamlessly switch between Wi-Fi and Mobile data without losing the stream. It would be great if they could implement a live stream buffer, so we can rewind the news for example.

★★★★☆Kyle Luna· May 14, 2026
It would be nice if you would add more channels like DTOUR, CMT, Movie time, Dejaview and your kids channels
★☆☆☆☆Harman Hansra· Mar 20, 2026
App freezes for ads. Have to close the app and go back in twice before I can watch shows
★★☆☆☆Carrie Lalonde· Apr 25, 2026
Every single ad freezes multiple times. Sometimes the show crashes then you must restart and watch 4 more freezing ads.

I didn't want to give it a star, but I had no choice. I'd rather give it a zero. This Global TV app sucks. You watch something that is already taped, and you watch it for a couple of seconds and then a little circle comes on, and then it shuts off and goes on a black screen saying something went wrong you have to close it and so you have to close and go back on it. Same thing over and over and over again. Very terrible app

App is freezing during commercials and then crashing again. If I have to watch another trivago add one more time 🤯😡
