STV Player Reviews 577

stv is appalling utter disgrace waste of time ..always have problems with brookside always complaining and they do nothing ..this weeks episodes you cannot get cannot watch them ..utter joke

Terrible watching a series then asked to click to play other episode and won’t do it having trouble starting back up to

When it works it can be great but unfortunately it's always buffering usually as other folk have said it crashes during ads but it would never restart 🤷. A right pain in the ****

Shocking app it's constantly buffering and even with the subscription series are full of ads even in shows that are at least 10yrs old so don't waste your money on an a subscription infact don't waste your time with it period !

This is such a poor streaming service. In Scotland we are not permitted to use ITV’s streaming service, we have to use STV. It’s terrible, doesn’t load, so many glitches, lots of ads, not easy to use at all. It feels so unprofessional, like going back in time. Very frustrating and compared to others is shocking.

I have nothing to add as I have exactly the same issues as others have stated on here. I'm sick of having to go back to the start of a programme or sit through the same adverts due to this app freezing or buffering all the time. I go to use another tv in another room and I'm back to the start. I've used it for a while but it seems to have gotten much worse recently. All these reviews cannot be wrong. Sorry STV but unless this app improves vastly then I'm out.

Irrelevant trash!! Sack the Board and get some Scottish Sports on tv!!

I regulary stream from various apps such as Netflix, Prime, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, STV Player, AppleTV and can report that STV Player is almost unusable due to constant buffering issues. I have plenty of bandwidth (1Gb) and none of the other streaming apps have a problem. I get issues everytime I try to watch STV and I've gotten to the point where I've given up watching STV.

STV player is hopeless. The ads constantly repeat, if you dare to pause you end up back at the start. Tonight I selected Jonathan Ross to start from the beginning and it kept taking me to the 1% club which is the programme on before it. It never fails to disappoint. It’s diabolical

Lots & lots of adverts, but I sat through them and eventually started watching my selected program. Sadly an error message popped up after 20mins, and I had to start back at the beginning, including all the adverts.
I was watching on my TV. I have fast Sky fibre optic internet. I have never experienced any issues watching other similar channels.

It speaks volumes for the CEO of STV when he does nothing to resolve the issues highlighted on here. It is a shocking app and he should be ashamed of it. But hey, as long as he's getting his obscene salary, that's all that matters to him.

Useless. I tried the paid-for version. Any programme I have started watching freezes after about 50 minutes and also requires a laptop reboot to get my machine working again. All other streaming services I use (six of them) work perfectly.

STV player is rubbish, frequently changes to live TV when watching catchup and you have to reload the show again navigating through the adverts. It is not fit for purpose.

When it works it’s fine but I can’t access the latest episodes of shows like the chase on my tv, but they are available on ITVx on my PC

The settings layout is appalling bad opening up account plans while trying to navigate to log out.

Same as what everyone else is saying. Absolute shambles of an app.

Just awful totally useless app.

Awful app that doesn't properly function. Terrible experience of rugby 6 nations this year.

You know if its going to be live on this channel it will be impossible watch it in Scotland. How this channel still exists in this Digital age! Clearly out its depth! Please stop its ability to bit for major sporting events, as you cant ever sign on to watch them live. Worst channel ever.

1/ One star is too high a score for this sub standard service
2/ STVPlayer is truly awful
3/ I wouldn’t give it any stars
4/ Those responsible for delivering the “service “ should be replaced by someone who cares about delivering a service.
5/ It Awful.
