Channel 5 Opiniões 

Get your IT sorted out for pity’s sake. The app won’t cast from my iPhone to my LG smart TV and the app on the TV won’t activate via signing in from the code on the TV screen as requested.

Google AI suggests it’s pretty much garbage too.

Total waste of time, I’m deleting the app off both devices, plenty of other free channels with apps / casting that works on my devices (and yes, I’ve got the correct settings for allowing network access etc).

The content is good. There are a number of channel 5 shows that I like to watch. However, the app is awful and this is the last streaming app I choose. The advert breaks are frequent and long. Following the breaks, the picture is fuzzy for about 10-20 secs, then suddenly clarifies. Sometimes at the end of the break the picture goes black and there is no way to get the programme back without a restart. That means watching the ads all over again and risking that it will simply go black again. The subtitles have to be reinstated for every new episode. Just a rubbish app and as a result I watch it rarely.

I do like a great deal of the dramas on offer. However, the advertising drives me to distraction! Watched 3 parts of the the 1 series of madam Secretary, then it had to go ! Give an opinion for paid none advertising viewing ! 🙄

I often switch to the My5 app to watch live programs in HD instead of rubbish 576i but the app is constantly losing it's live tv function. As we're constantly being pushed to use apps you need to sort it out.

I have become increasingly disappointed with Channel 5’s programming. Far too many of its dramas feel repetitive, predictable and formulaic to me, with similar premises, familiar faces and storylines that seem to follow the same template.

Programmes such as The Hardacres, The Teacher, The Madame Blanc Mysteries, The Holiday, The Catch, The Fortune, The Feud and The Game simply haven’t convinced me that Channel 5’s drama strategy is delivering enough originality or variety. High viewing figures don’t automatically mean that a programme is high quality, and personally I find much of the output slow, overly sentimental or predictable.

I was particularly disappointed by the decision to move away from Neighbours. It offered something genuinely different in the schedule, including younger characters, long-running storytelling and LGBTQ+ representation. I don’t feel Channel 5 has adequately replaced what it brought to the channel.

I would also like to see substantially greater diversity across Channel 5’s drama output, including more prominent LGBTQ+ characters and a broader range of people in leading roles.

The Channel 5 streaming service is another major frustration. In my experience, buffering and reliability problems have persisted for years and the service still doesn’t feel good enough compared with other streaming platforms.

Channel 5 needs greater originality, more varied and inclusive casting and storytelling, and a significantly better streaming experience. At the moment, there is very little on the channel that makes me want to watch.

More of the same rubbish too many ads and to many repeated programs across the 5 platform

Got to be THE worst streaming service on earth. Horrendous quality, pixelating all the time, ridiculous amounts of adverts. Whoever is responsible for this crap should be ashamed of themselves. Utter crap

Lose the will to watch anything too many adverts.
Really food dramas spoilt by endless adverts.

Trying to watch programme on streaming. Wished I’ve never started. Feels like equal amounts of advertising and trails for other channel programmes as the series I’m trying to watch. I will never come back.

What happened to the Commonwealth games ,after the opening day there was supposed to be 11 days of fantastic events , all i managed to ever see when switching on was adverts after adverts break , did any body actually win a medal at these games , channel 5 ! If its not worth showing on free tv then lets not bother at all.

Absolute Dog Sh!te of an app!!!!
Rarely saves where you are ready for next time, freezes, poor video quality, excessive adverts. Such a shame as some good dramas on there. Needs some serious money spending on it channel 5!!!!

What a complete load of rubbish Channel 5 streaming is. It has never improved in all the years I have been using it. Get a grip Five and be like BBC1, BBC2, ITV and Channel Four which do not have the buffering problem. Absolutely useless.

Perhaps it would be easier to say what went right, the answer would be very little. Trying to access this channel is a work of art and how it trys your patience, watching that little wheel go rund and round consumes ages, then if or when the requested prog. finally starts it stops, pauses starts again, and then heck we are into another advert break, even they are repeats, this I the worst on the small screen. And the volume, our normal viewing is about 11 or 12, but on 5 we have to have raise it to anything up to 18 even 20 then it goes from low to loud without any help from us, god 5 has a way of its own and it is not good. I swear that little wheel is watched longer
than the content available. There is some very good content to watch but so frustrating trying to get it to play. 5 should be ashamed of this set up.

UK'S STRONGEST MAN 2026 Amateur presenters dreadful lighting the lighting may have given atmosphere in the stadium but it was dreadful for TV switched off after five minutes

Absolute crap. Too many adverts, buffering too much and I live near a train track do having subtitles on is a must during the summer when the windows are open. Its pot luck if you can turn them on with this App. Worst app ever.

Commonwealth Games coverage has been appalling. Please give it back to the BBC so that they can do a better job!

Great programmes but so frustrating trying to watch them. The app is constantly freezing or not working at all.

Why should I have to keep signing in just because they update their software. Wouldn't be so bad if they didn't incorrectly claim the password is wrong and then not send a reset email immediately.

What a crap app. Today's technology, a very poor performance. My can do better. Not loading up, freezing, constantly getting stopping. Just rubbish.

So frustrating im watching on channel 5 app.... wot a pain having to restart nearly every episode because it freezes, there are some really good programs to watch but you just wouldn't be bothered to restart in the middle of an episode because it doesn't reset at where you left off. Reading the other negative reviews its not a connection issue its just terrible service on the channel 5 company
