Important: Data consumption.
Please note: you are responsible for the data transfer and consumption charges incurred by you when using any ABC app. The ABC disclaims all liability for such charges. The amount you are charged for watching video over mobile data (3G, 4G) depends on several things:
- How much data your mobile phone company allows you to download each month at no extra cost (your quota)
- How much data you've already downloaded in that month, and how much of your quota remains
- How much your mobile phone company charges you when you download more than your monthly quota

If you have a small monthly quota, or have used almost all of your monthly quota, watching video over a mobile data (3G, 4G) connection could be expensive. For more information about data consumption in relation to streaming video, please visit the iview FAQs or the Help & Feedback section within the app. Do check your quota with your mobile phone company, and monitor your usage. Your mobile phone company may be able to send you alerts when you reach the limit of your monthly quota. It is possible to disable 3G/4G in your device within your device Settings.

On every video I get this message: "There was an error playing this video. Have you checked your internet connection?" This app worked fine until a week or so ago. I have cleared data, cleared cache, rebooted, reinstalled. Still have issues. Can you please resolve this? Otherwise this is a great app

Imagine a world where only the most expensive TV`s could receive the ABC, That is close to the reality of what this app has created. 5 android tablets and it crashes constantly every 5 seconds on 4 of the 5. it used to be rock solid. Its breaking my toddlers heart you need to do real platform testing outside of the emulators. Great you tested it on a nexus and galaxy devices, congrats your compatible with 18% of all android devices sold. Until it runs on a Kmart $99 tablet you are failing!!

Great concept, poor execution. I have tried on three different Android devices from two different manufacturers and on different wifi networks and will not play a single video due to 'playback errors'. I have no issues with any other streaming services. Works perfectly on Apple devices, why is it so hard to get it right for Android. Please look into these issues. I'm not the only one with problems.

I don't know what happened but as if today my s7 cannot play any videos through wifi. My home internet connection is perfect and its only this app doing this. Can you please fix asap as Im now chewing into my 4G data

T70%
by T####:

Never had a problem until I recently updated. Should have read recent reviews before updating. I can see there has been a playback error issue for 2 months now. It has to be due to the most recent update. You've ruined a perfect app. Please, please fix it!

S70%
by S####:

Only just able to use this after reading a helpful comment mentioning timezones. Time on old tablet was out by 10 minutes so videos would not play with a suggestion to check wifi connection. Bad error message! Does this app really try to use the device's time as some weak form of geoblocking? That seems very error prone!

T70%
by T####:

Great app to keep the children entertained. Especially now that Android allows apps to be pinned. Would be 5 stars if you remove the volume control from within the app. Young children playing with the app constantly turn up the volume...

My kids and i love this app. Its become a real help at times. Yes it occasionally but very rarely shuts down saying no internet connection but i just start it back up again with no issues. Simple. Love love love abc

Hello abc team i have one issue about this app that needs fixing. My network or wi fi is working perfectly but this app keeps on saying no wifi when it is perfect. This has been going for 8 months now.

Love this app. My daughter loves this app. BUT.... all of a sudden, it keeps coming up with an error message 'there is an error playing this video. Have you checked your Internet connection?' Yet internet is connected and working well on other apps and pcs.

Had a lot of issues claiming no Internet connection. Resolved them by setting tablet to autodetect location timezone (it was defaulted to india wtf haha) Great app my child LOVES the shows anywhere anytime! Also read comments where people gave bad reviews as they want to filter what their kids watch - go into the parent link and manually setup what shows you do and don't want your children to watch. A lock screen function would be great for this app.

Keeps coming up playback error even when connected to wifi. My wifi connection is connected with no problems. Don't know what seems to be the problem today. Please fix asap, as it has become the perfect tantrum material for my 2 year old.

The kids love it but it stopped playing saying I had no internet connection. Finally figured out how to make it play. The location on the device has to be set to automatic. I'm guessing it has something to do with it being an Aussie app. needing to be used in Aus.

Keeps coming up with a playback error. Have uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Turned on all permissions and still won't work. Very disappointed

Changed my review cause the shows my kids watch have been taken off or no longer have episodes. Also Peppa Pig is now only in mandarin? I can't get it in English. Gg ABC 4 Kids. That is the number one requested show in my house. Also add casting support like every other app.

Its a good app but the images of the shows dont load on my screen. Also I am annoyed that I don't get some of the shows on my app that people in other States do, like The Adventures of Bottletop Bill, my boys' favourite, which they can only watch on their grandmother's phone when visiting her in the A.C.T.

Great app, I love it and have no issues with it! But would it be possible to have a lock screen option so that the story can still play while the screen is locked and my daughter can't press any buttons while holding it. Thanks!
