Comments on Virgin Media Play for Android

★★★★★ Luke Doyle · Jul 12, 2026

Super app great service especially watching programs that I have missed or just want to watch over again

★★★★★ Tommy Williams · Jul 5, 2026

It's a great app, and it's working fine, and it's free, and I hope it stays free forever because when we give it five stars it becomes subscription this tinker Man knows about it even in the shops' people higher up the price when you buy it and this tinker does not steal I guess every human being is that perfect but this app is ok, and it's working fine 💯💩🙄👍❤️

★★★★★ Anne Balfe · Jan 20, 2026

Brilliant for catching up on shows you love

★☆☆☆☆ Cathy Orla · Jun 30, 2026

Great selection of shows, Ads reasonable if the App actually worked. Ads break and repeat. If you want to pause and replay you've to watch Ads again. Now, I just get stuck on buffering Ads unable to play the show. Fix your app

★☆☆☆☆ Helen Matthews · Apr 25, 2026

My god, what an awful app. The worst app that is out there at the moment bar none and that is a very low bar. The amount of ads is ridiculous. This app is worse than the way the RTE player app used to be a few years ago and that is saying something. RTE have thankfully hugely improved since. They play the same 3 or 4 ads every 15 minutes. If you lose your place on something you're watching you are forced to watch an endless loop of those same ads. Never managing to find your place just ads

★☆☆☆☆ Jasmin Kerr · Jun 18, 2026

Constantly crashing, even just trying to catch up not watch live. There are so many ads its crazy even if someone calls you or a phone update pops up, when that happens, and you return to the show, you get more ads again. But the main issue is starting an episode and it won't even play just keeps coming up 'sorry there was an error'.

★☆☆☆☆ David Byrne · May 26, 2026

Pathetic. Successfully plays 5 consecutive ads and not a single program. Crashes, then you try again. Watch the same 5 ads and another crash. First time trying the app - didn't expect much but ended up with nothing.
