Virgin Media Play reviews
1.7 out of 5, based on 552 reviews.
What people like
- Works great when your TV breaks
- Free to watch sports like football
- Good free streaming player overall
What they complain about
- Constant buffering stops you from watching
- Ads interrupt you constantly and heavily
- Subtitles are delayed and make no sense
Very good
Very good free stream player. Watch champions league football at no cost. Very good I would recommend it!
Only one star?
Well the reason I’ve given this app only one star is because that’s the lowest rating I’m allowed to give. If I could have given it minus 5 I would have. The most infuriating app I’ve ever used.
subtitles always on?
There’s no way to turn subtitles off in the ipad app in this version, which is incredibly annoying as the AI creates delayed and nonsense subtitles during sports broadcasts.
Decent
The champions league and sports streams can get glitchy.
V good
V good
Dreadful App
The worst Player I’ve ever seen. Just buffering. Unable to watch ANYTHING on it.
Eh
Doesn’t even work unless I’m flying
Good
The tv broke and we were able to watch everything on it
Ad-pocalypse
Get this app if you want to watch 5 minutes of unskippable adds before you even get one second of your show. Impossible to use. Complete waste of time and an absolute disgrace!
Can’t clear continue watch list
Drives me insane that I can’t clear my continue watch list even though I will have finished the particular episode and it doesn’t remember that the next episode auto played so your true end spot isn’t actually marked. A very frustrating app to use
Worst app of all time
I’m actually sick of this it’s the slowest and worst thing I’ve ever experienced. Actually drives me up the walls trying to watch one episode of a show with the constant ads and 10 minutes of buffering saying “your content will resume shortly” me bollocks
Not fit for purpose
This app is incredibly frustrating to use. The amount of ads is excessive, but the worst part is that they constantly buffer or fail to load properly. Every time you pause, rewind or reopen the app, you’re forced to watch the same ads all over again. Some days the app barely works, with episodes freezing or refusing to play at all. Looking at the reviews, it’s clear these issues have been affecting users for a long time with little improvement.
horrible.
can a girl watch love island in peace oh my god. everytime it gets to the good part it glitches and when i click out and back in THERES A 1 MINUTE AD. genuinely think they do it on purpose. anyways overall i hate this app with strong feelings. if i could give it minus stars believe me i would
Remove this from the App Store
This has to be one of the useless apps on the AppStore the ads work better than the content that being provided.
Apps poo
Shocking app won’t let me change my password and just keeps bringing me back into downloading the app WHICH I ALREADY HAVE.
The WORST APP
Constant buffering you can’t watch anything on it, the only thing that is not lagging is ads. If I could I’d give it 0/10
