Shittiest update I have ever seen. Now you can't watch Hollywood content for mobile subscription. It's a new way to beg from people. Either give full access or just don't. This is so stupid

This company is really a scam. Account gets blocked for 24 hours every few days without any explanations. You create a request on their website, same automated reply to all requests. Completely useles... See more

Pathetic Experience. I bought VIP plan but being a paid member experience is horrible. So many ads, you can't even see a movie property. You should take user experience seriously man. I'm complete... See more

I would give zero to hotstar.

I would give zero to hotstar.
I paid subscription to view in Canada for a year but after a few days it stopped working. When l contacted help center they asked me to change IP address because eventually l came to know that it is not allowed in Canada.
They sold the subscription even when they knew that it doesn't work in Canada. They won't give me refund. Terrible...disappointing experience

Payment taken without subscription

What is your customer service. You have been taking money from my account when I don't have or had any subscription. No reply to emails and there is no phone number to contact. What sort of system they have !!

Slow and jarring website

Slow and jarring website. Different broadcast for different regions. No live sports transmission in the UK. I subscribed to watch Asia cup live but shows "area specific content" too late after you have already subscribed.

Data Guzzler Streaming Speeds

One thing I noticed immediately after purchasing a Mobile Quarterly subscription was Disney+ Hotstar's reluctance to offer lower streaming/download quality. Right now only 4 options viz; Auto, Full HD (1080p), HD (720p) and SD (480p) are available. These speeds turn out to be real data guzzlers for subscribers like me depending on Mobile Data plans (1.5 GB per day). Hence, Disney+ Hotstar must re-introduce Low (240p) video streaming/download resolution at the earliest. I am sure this will help improve the ratings.

Worst OTT platform

This is the worst app OTT platform as after purchased and premium platform still its shows advertisement, so suggest you all don't purchase Hotstar premium service as it's of no use, so be aware in taking subscription as its only waste of money.

I have bought the VIP Subscription

I have bought the VIP Subscription. But when i open and want to watch the Latest Video, it shows that you don't have an active connection. But, even though i am able to watch and view all other websites, Youtube, etc. They just stole my money. Will suggest, not to pay, just view for free.

Streaming quality is BAD

I paid for the VIP. But it wasn't obvious when buying that i still have to watch ads. But the worst part is the streaming quality is so bad. i can watch 1440p stream on twitch but can only watch football at 360p which fluctuates to 144p sometimes. Its basically a scam better pay for the channel.
