Performance issues with app

I have been having issue with the app for some time now where on the mobile phone version it doesn’t allow you to sign into your tv provider. When you click to sign in it acts as if it’s loading and just doesn’t load and the buffering biocontrol just goes away and will keep doing that every time you click on it. Now, the biggest issue and problem I have had was with the iPad version where you click on the app icon and all that will show is the welcome screen and the app just never load it just shows the welcome screen and that’s it and to get the app to properly work I have to delete it and re-download/re-install The OWN app and sign back into everything.

Less is More

When I first started watching this app the commercials were extremely long. I would only have so much time to try to watch an episode and would end up falling asleep or putting my phone away in frustration. The last 2 episodes of Iyanla fix my life was perfect! 1 commercial at the beginning and 1 at the end. I was able to fit in 2 episodes tonight instead of my 1/2 an episode due to the commercials. It was like you all read my mind. On another note, I actually remember years ago when people doubted this whole “OWN” network thing Oprah was doing was gonna work. 😆😆😆😆Aren’t haters adorable😆😆😆.

Wish I had something nicer to say...

I was absolutely THRILLED to find the OWN app and start watching quality shows. So much so, that I cancelled Netflix. I am shocked that this app is so glitchy. It continues to just kick me off during an episode ... then to add insult to injury, once I get the show and episode pulled back up, it starts it all the way back at the beginning vs. remembering my place. And then, the commercials... sweet niblets. Sooooo long and the exact same ones over and over again. So when I fast forward and try to find my spot, I get a truckload of the same ones I have been seeing for way too many minutes each break. Love the network, ready to give up and go back to Netflix because the app is making this way too painful. Fingers crossed OWN is not OK with this having their name and brand behind it and the issues get resolved quickly!

Over it!

I am home a lot working on various projects and like to have background noise so I watch a lot of the discovery apps. (I know OWN is. It necessarily a discovery brand but their app is the same format). Lately I’ve been watching own’s live daily and I enjoy it. My problem is with their commercials. They repeat the same commercials multiple times during a break and it’s gotten ridiculous! For example, currently a “Nissan sales event” commercial is playing and twice today I’ve seen it FIVE times during ONE commercial break! It literally played 3 times back to back. I’ve got the dang thing memorized and it’s barely lunch time! I’m so sick of seeing the exact same commercial!!!! This seems to be a problem across all the go apps I’ve used (tlc, Id, own..) and the only response I get from customer service is “I’ve forwarded it to our technical team”. That was in February! Nothing has changed. Sooo frustrated and over it!!

Too Many Glitches

As a person with a hearing deficit, I often need to rewind, but there is not a button to rewind. User friendly apps have 10 or 30 second rewind buttons. Another difficulty is the commercials. When you rewind the app does not recognize that you’ve already watched that segment of commercials and it makes you watch them over again. NOT good! Many apps will skip over the commercials when you rewind, recognizing that you have already viewed that set of commercials. OWN needs to update the app to better utilize a rewind function without making the viewer constantly repeat the commercials. This issue stops me from watching most of the shows. Too exhausting.

Can’t log in with cable tv provider

I came to the reviews to see if anyone else was having problems logging into this app when you put your cable provider in and it seems like a very common issue. The app freezes or the page just won’t load after you put in your cable information. I tried logging in on my IPad, Firestick and my phone and was finally able to log in on my phone after trying for almost an hour. I was so excited to be disappointed once again. Not only does this app have a ridiculous amount of commercials for one show, the app crashed in the middle of it and then logged out of my cable provider. Once again, the page froze up when trying to log back in. I have deleted and reinstalled the app 3 times and it still freezes after attempting to submit my cable information. I’m sad to say I’m deleting this app for good and would not recommend anyone downloading it and getting stuck in this big loop of logging in, the app crashing, logging you out then trying it all over again. I would honestly give this 0 stars if I could. 😡😡

The app no longer works on my device

Up until about a week ago the app worked great. I was able to catch up on missed episodes. The latest version of the app does. To play on older versions of the iPad. An update to an app should not block older versions of device from seeing its content. I am able to download the app, it then it forces me to get the update in the App Store. When I go to the App Store its aye that the newer version of the app only works on 10.0 iOS. My iPad does not update that high. And I'm not buying another one just for the OWN app. All other apps update without any issues or problems with the version iOS I have. I also have a smart tv that is Google and the own app is. To available for that device at all. I guess I won't be able to watch anymore of my OWN shows.

Way too many ads!!

I’ve been an OWN app user for quite a while now however it’s getting to the point to where I’d rather not bother with the app at all. With a busy schedule, the connivence of being able to tune into my favorite shows at my own leisure is a great benefit. I enjoy tv and have a few cable apps downloaded to my phone however unlike the other apps OWN is the worst! The ads are ridiculous. I thought one of the benefits cable apps has to offer is limited to no commercials. OWN is the only cable app that plays up 8 commercials and frequently throughout the show. It takes away from enjoying the show on the app. You would think after paying for the network they would at least offer some type of benefit like other cable apps but no. Also, not to mention there is no 10 second rewind/fast forward option. So whatever you do do not rewind/fast forward to much because it’s a very strong possibility all those ads you had to patiently wait for to finish will pop back up for you to have to watch all 6-8 of them again. The app spares no pity for the watcher when it comes to the ads. The ads seem to be the most important aspect of the app. It’s possible that I could just be over reacting or possibly just beyond spoiled from the other cable apps that are just way better then the OWN app.

Jeez OWN let us live, no commercials

In order to get OWN I had to get the highest cable package and even then it wasn’t included. I had to then pay more to add it to the package because OWN is a super premium channel but Ok I still move forward.Now I’m watching the episodes I missed on OWN and every 2 minutes I have to watch 2 minutes of commercials. Have some decency, cut this out or add a monthly fee for the app to stop this madness. No one wants to pay this much to still have to watch commercials. Please let us live and enjoy the network without having to watch these commercials on the OWN app. Just stop trying to sell us stuff all the time. Let us have a moment to just enjoy the network and if we choose to pay more for this opportunity? Allow us to, but please stop forcing us to watch sales pitches, we need an option to avoid this. Thank you

A bit frustrating

I love OWN, but I'm 50/50 with the app. I realized some time ago that I cannot watch my favorite OWN shows unless I'm connected to a wifi network. I have enabled the cellular data for the app in my settings but still, it won't allow. I have unlimited data and thought the purpose of downloading the app was to watch shows in an "on demand" type of way. I was told it is the app and not my provider. All of my other network apps don't give me a cellular over data issue when I try to connect to watch outside of a wifi connection. Other than that, its cool. I do wish you could watch uninterrupted though, with no commercials, but all of my network apps do that so its a fair call there.
