User Reviews for BBC America
Some features that were glitchy seem disabled now
There were some issues with transitions to commercials not aligning with the set breaks (so commercials would start a few seconds after the break in the show were the commercial was supposed to be). I noticed that first on airplay and chrome cast. Well, now it appears chrome cast has been disabled as of this version, and airplay has issues pairing with my vizio tv. However on my phone it seems to work fine so far.
Too glitchy to use
I use this on my Apple TV. I’ve been trying to watch Killing Eve but it’s impossible. Every time the Zales commercial comes on, my app crashes and closes. Then I have to open the app and go through an entire commercial break all over again, and then when that’s over, I have to scroll through and try to find my spot in the show where it crashed. Even when I choose “Resume” instead of “Restart,” the episode starts over from the beginning. I can see months of similar complaints in the reviews, so I can’t believe the app hasn’t been fixed yet. This is what happens when companies refuse to fund tech support.
Did a monkey design this app?
Of all the apps I have for various channels and streaming services, this is hands down the worst. Commercials that drop right in the middle of a scene, freezing, and god help you if you try to forward or rewind. Tap the “15 second” button either direction, and you are spinning a roulette wheel. See where it lands! Most likely all the way back to the beginning. Conveniently, if you try to fast-forward back to where you were, it keeps sending you back to the beginning. Everyone associated with the design of this app should be sacked, and banned from working in the industry again!
wish I could award ZERO stars
this is the WORST media player I have ever seen. Glitched repeatedly through an entire series, ads would break into the middle of scenes, restart them, skip them altogether, but it saved the worst for last. Could not finish the episode — from the second segment on, had to watch part or all of it multiple times to see the next one. Just before the last segment of the entire series, it went back to the middle of the ep AGAIN. Was never able to watch the end, even after 2 hours of trying.I am deleting this piece of crap and never installing it again.
Just be patient and watch the adds
I feel lucky to even be able to see Doctor Who, so, as far as I’m concerned...I love this app! I appreciate the only app that allows me to see these shows. And trust me, you aren’t going to find them anywhere else, especially for free. So, endure the adds...critique them, judge their acting ability, ponder on the fact that they spent millions to make them and most are just irritating and never clever (like good ol’ Cal Worthington -N- his dog spot), go get food, whatever¿...just know that being able to see these fantastic shows is a gift...and purchasing them would be beyond expensive! :O ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️And be thankful that they aren’t doing the interactive adds; where you have to choose between surveying one commercial, or watching 5/6 of them :(............
Horrid
Love the shows but the app does not work. Crashes constantly. Have to delete and reinstall to to get functioning again on new iPad with up to date iOS. Freezes in middle of play. Impossible to get started again. Hold viewed shows is incomplete. Advertising overload. Every time playback fails, you have to watch 2 minutes of advertising to get back to the show. Then adjust the the point of failure and another 2 minutes of adverting only to have the show crash immediately after. Note the advertising never fails.
Very frustrating
I've used at least 7 other streaming apps and none compare to this frustration. Impossible to rewind just a few seconds if you miss something. End up stuck with ads popping up at weird times then just skipped forward about half the show. Didn't capture where I left off last time and too difficult to find the right spot and then actually have it play from there after it decides to shove in more ads but then starts playing from somewhere else in the program. Having to login into my provider again and again is only a minor pain compared to all the other glitches.
Terrible on Apple TV
This is one of the worst streaming apps I've come across since I got Apple TV. It makes watching something extremely difficult, if you can even find it. Trying to rewind or fast forward just makes it jump to a random spot and always plays the same ads first. The 10 sec back or forward function is not available. When I turn subtitles on they turn off after every ad break and I have to keep turning them on. Sometimes they don't turn on at all. Sometimes when I pause it refuses to resume, or it goes to the settings menu but doesn't actually let me choose anything in the settings or exit. The only way I've been able to get out is by going back to Apple TV, deleting this app and reinstalling. All these things have just happened to me trying to watch 1 episode of Killing Eve, but they all happened before. It's seriously awful. No other TV channel or streaming app I've used has been this bad.
This could be a good app
If they ever get around to paying attention to it. It’s almost as if they’re hoping people will get frustrated enough to give up and find a paying way to watch their programming on top of the subscription cost we already paid. Commercials break into episodes mid scene, audio video sync issues especially if casting to a television and finally the episodes take weeks to update IE if the ep was broadcast today don’t expect to see it on the app for a week or 3 minimum. But it’s better than nothing and that is why I’ve given a second star.
Horrible
Updating because 1. The chromecast option still isn’t working 2. The glitches in this thing are terrible. Watching an episode when all of a sudden it freezes and then re starts you from the beginning! And trying to fast forward to get back to where you were is frustrating when it only gives you the 15sec forward option. 3. If you leave the app and come back to it, it doesn’t let you start from where you left off. Although it does give you the option to, it still just starts you from the beginning again. This app is just frustrating and horrible to use overall
