The Movie Network GO for Android
The video is super choppy. I have a brand new Google Pixel phone, every other app runs totally smooth, so it's just this. I really wanted to like this, but choppy video is a deal breaker (given that's your product!)
Streaming quality is terrible. I stream Netflix and Youtube at 4K with ease, but this app gets no better than (what appears to be) 480p. There's also frequent and obvious lag. All this on a wired ethernet connection... Not only that, but they've cornered the market so that this is the only streaming option available to Canadians who want access to HBO content.
Not user friendly but I use it out of necessity. A lot of the choppiness people talk about can be solved by reducing the quality... but why that doesn't happen automatically is beyond me. Also why not autoplay the next episode? Why log out every time?
This app is useless. I'm using it on a Samsung Galaxy s8+ and all the videos are choppy... I've checked my speeds and tested with YouTube and Netflix with no problem. What is the problem? I don't pay a premium price to get bootleg quality.
New review: tried skipping to a particular time in a show, app hangs indefinitely. Old review: Lag/synch issues, disconnects, apparently no caching, so it is unfortunately quite frustrating at times. It sort of works and you can eventually watch the show, with a few restarts, so it is passable. Not conducive to relaxing and watching something. If you want your television to be a struggle, like in the old days of slapping the TV on the side every 15 minutes to get the picture back, then this is the app you have been waiting for.
Choppy video while steaming or watching downloaded episodes on all qualities... Netflix doesn't have this issue so it's not my phone.. I will not continue paying $20/month if this is not fixed.
The new update has destroyed videoplay back. It's all choppy and impossible to watch. It used to run smooth... It's just sad.
Unwatchable. Every other video streaming app i use works fine. This is so choppy you would think i was back on dial up
It is actually infuriating that I pay for HBO and TMN with my Telus Satellite TV subscription and yet I can not use this app. Apparently I need an Optik TV account, which is not available where I live. Truly disappointing to pay more for a service and get less for it. Obviously I am uninstalling.
Used to be good. Now it runs choppy as hell no matter what quality you set and whether you're on a fast wifi connection or data.
Selected service provider, went to blank screen and stopped. Can't log in, total failure. Uninstalled.
Always never works. 3 in every 10 times I open it, it has signed out and won't let me sign back in. Gateway error...
When it asks me to sign in to my service provider it tells me my user name is invalid yet I am entering my correct user name and password. I shouldn't be surprised, after all it is from Bell and they have never provided good service for anything in the past, why should this be any different.
Try to sign in with my bell Aliant account and always fails. I have no problem with sportsnet tsn ctvgo discovery channel just this piece of garbage
This app is infuriating. It crashes very often and signs you out on its own. Don't expect to easily take a break from what you are watching just to jump right back in, switching apps will cause it to crash. They added the ability to download content for offline playback which is great, but it is poorluly executed. Downloads take forever and they expire very quickly after being started. Sometimes I will download a show, then 30 minutes later when I go to watch it, they will be gone saying they've already expired. Step up your game TMN. You make piracy look appealing just for the convenience of reliable playback.
Incredibly laggy and the layout is not user friendly. Not worth paying such an expensive rate for a subscription from bell
Wouldn't even let me log in after downloading. Even went back and confirmed my login details with my service provider. Useless.
Video sucks. So choppy. Not worth watching anything. Will get a good review when it's fixed. There's a lot to choose from wish it was watchable.
Why does this app keep crashing on my Samsung 7 galaxy. I pay for the movie network so I can watch stuff on the go and now it won't even open even after reinstalling it
You can't watch anything using this app. It just won't allow you to. It crashes every single time. I hope this gets resolved.
The lag is very annoying. Is there a way to fix that?
Does not play on my ZTE Axon 7. Says I have a modified version of Android?? An insecure device...
*DO NOT RECOMMEND* like everyone else is saying, the playback is choppy and the catalogue for most shows on demand isn't updated.
Super choppy, you get better quality streaming the same shows from free sites, guess keep try this for the next two months as it's free and if things stay the same, then cancel subscriptions
So choppy I can't even watch my shows. What am I even paying for?
There is a play back error every time I try to stream a video.
Nothing seemed to work. It's a real POS app that the developers should be embarrassed about.
It used to work fine, but seems since the last update I can't watch anything. All I get is sound and video is frozen on the same frame
Terrible app video quality is very choppy and its frustrating.
Huge interlacing problem that isn't on other casting apps. Needs improvement
Downloaded or streaming, ALL content is choppy on my mobile device.
Will not work, it keeps stating my device is not secure
The shows are choppy and unwatchable For this reason im out
This app has horrible streaming.
Casting just results in an error now
Used to work, but video is choppy and unwatchable
I only pay for HBO for access to the app. Pirating would have been easier and better streaming quality.
Unusable. Choppy. Just like all the reviews say.
Just installed this on my tablet and about 3/4 of the screen is completely pixelated. Cant watch anything. Thanks!!!

Wow this app has gone downhill. I had it last year and while there were challenges, I could usually get thru a show. I've reinstalled it this week and haven't been able to watch even a few mins without an error message! I have Netflix and other tv show apps and they play w no issues. This one is horrible.
