Comments on Global TV for Android

★★★★★ Karen Mendonca · Mar 26, 2026

App used to work great, but now it stops playing halfway.... replays ads 4 times. So frustrating. I have uninstalled and installed and ensure updates are completed. This sucks! UPDATE! I emailed and got a reply right away that they would look into it. Then got another email saying and update was pushed and to reinstall app. I have done so and it's been working great! Thank you for taking this issue serious, making every effort to fix it and keeping me informed. Much appreciated 👏 Updated stars

★★★★★ NM · May 24, 2026

I really like being able to watch shows on Global TV. I just wish it was for one month free not one week free.

★★★★☆ 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

★☆☆☆☆ sweet life · Mar 22, 2026

Spoty service, very frustrating still not able to get past the loops of ads and not able to watch the show. Your service sux still no service on this app only commercials and buffering, over and over. Total waste of time. You suck

★★☆☆☆ 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.
