ToView Live TV for Android
This has to be one of the smoothest and slickest apps I have used from the play store. Not sure what phones these reviewers who say it force closes are using but on my Wiley fox swift, it is perfect, glitch free, very responsive and a pleasure to use. Whoever wrote this should or could be earning £100K+ a year. And no, i dont work for the writers or know anyone who does, I just say what I see. Good work.
Very fast launch great coverage and picture and so far no problems at all on my Toshiba AT300. Would be nice if a little more forward program information was available rather than now and next. Keep up the good work. Tried to load on my Yoga 2 crashes immediately uninstall/reinstall exactly the same problem! The Toshiba is dead so I have edited review.
Stopped working for quite some time on both my phone and tablet following an upgrade but is now working even better than before. Not sure what the developers have done but very glad it is back working again. Only issue I have is that the Regional selection does not seem to have any effect.
Just realised that the developer of this app and the owners of TV CATCHUP brand are in a dispute, hence the change of app name. Seems the developer has been a bit sheisty about the whole matter and due to this, I have now uninstalled this app. The BBC, ITV, C4 and C5 have now caught up with their players anyway and along with BT TV Everywhere, this app is no longer relevant anyway.
Was working - no changes to my device but blank screen which still allows touch selection to start other channels even when there is no icon visible. Great when it worked.
Constant playback errors and the support webpage link doesn't work. This used to be a good app. Not sure why it doesn't work now, maybe it's the app or some compatibility with Android 7. Tried this on a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
Used to work perfectly but (like other recent reviews) now not at all. Uninstalling / reinstalling has no benefit. Do hope this problem can be solved. "If it ain't broke don't fix it".
When it works, it's fine. Quality is up and down, but the biggest battle is getting the programme to start playing in the first place. Then it's just hoping it doesn't keep buffering, even on a good connection.
Like others I used to love this app but now it closes immediately after start up on my Hudl 2 yet it works OK on my android phone. Developer really needs to address this problem.
Very good,anything thats live like the football is about 1 minute behind.This is acceptable to be able to watch tv on my mobile.I wish there was a record feature and a link to my calender to be able to set reminders etc.If it had these features and naybe HD and Sky channels Id pay for the ap.For what it is Id highly recommend it
No substance. Cool graphics and layout. Subtle advert behaviour (not rite in ya face). thank you, Absolute rubbish performance with usual buffering/freezing every couple of minute's. Why ffs, why? Amateur at best. Pathetic at worst. Not fit for purpose - a TV app that we can watch. Do your job more efficiently - or ship out. Savvy? Edit: Just googled ; Walmarts are lookin for staff......!
The old TV catch-up app was better and efficient, until this worthless programme took over, now it doesn't work, crashes immediately and keeps freezing despite using high speed Internet. Do not waste your time in downloading as the developers have deaf ears and won't do a thing about it.
closes after 2 seconds..tried reinstalling..no joy..just closes..fooking rubbish..works on my phone no problem. but not on my tablet which has a bigger screen.so i give it a 2 and a half stars..
Literally all the ads ask you to sign uo to something. Just use Puffin or Firefox with adblocker and pop up blocker. Works better than this trash.
Used to be a good little app...now however is absolutely pants! Can't play anything and those stupid adverts seem to cause a whole heap of issues! If hit no on one of those annoying ads the app completely ignores any request to watch a channel.... RUBBISH!!! Even tried hitting the yes button on an ad but I don't want to order a bloody pizza!!!! Sorry guys you f%&ked it right up... uninstalling in 5...4...3...2...bye
As many others have said, TV Catchup was good but since the 'update" no longer works at all. Just a con to get you to sign up to ads. Absolutely useless, just a con.
Continually quits. Worked fine before last update. Disappointing. Pull your fingers out and get it sorted.
I love this app and would feel rather lost without it. However, when you view the TV guide in the left hand column of the screen, you are showing the program times incorrectly and this causes confusion. For instance the' ITV' program 'Lorraine' is shown as starting at 7.30, but it actually starts at 8.25. I suspect that you have not taken into account that we change our clocks in Britain and therefore we, in the developers' view are still one hour behind. Please can this be corrected. It is annoying and has sometimes caused me to change to Catch Up TV as their times are correct. Thank you.
Old version was better. now just constant ads pop up and if you decline download you can't view anything this is officially crap
Perfect!. My elderly Mum is in hospital, and was very board and frustrated, they said we could use a TV but that's to big and i'm not sure what kind of signal we would get so with my Samsung Galaxy Tab A a 4G router and ToView she is in business . It would be good to limit the channels as she is not that good with it and gets confused otherwise it's great!. Thank you!.
Really pleased this app is working again but the tv guide seems to be 1 hr out. Really confusing.
Immediate uninstall. App starts to open and then quickly closes with no intervention from me as stated by other reviewers. Too bad... and yes it should be compatible with my Asus tablet.
This app used to be brilliant but sadly seems to have stopped working on my android phone & TV box. The TV guide works but when trying to view a channel It states "video playback failed". It does however seem to still work on the ipad! If you follow the support link it takes you to g-zero but says Web site doesn't exist. I suspect they may have gone 'off the grid' and the ipad is still on an older version that is somehow still working. Would love to have this back though.
It's funny, I can see all the adverts, no problem, but I have yet to see a single frame of a TV programme. Always says there's an error.
I've been using this app for very long time but it's gone worse so it's time to change the app. The best app Is LIVE STREEM TV. Unintalling
Used this app and TVCatchup for ages with no problems. Whenever I try to watch without wifi it will not play....error message stating video playback error. Has been like it for a good few weeks now. ?????????
This used to work great when it was TVCatchup, but since the hostile takeover its just crap. Now it won't even start properly.
Full of shite adds. Ripped off.
Just updated from a previous version and now the app force-closes 2 seconds after starting. Tried reinstalling, but still unusable :-( on Hudl 2 tablet.
This update has broken it. Opens, then immediately closes
Keeps crashing not a very good stream and I have good Internet connection!had this app for a while and it has always been the same.
Always found this app to be very good. Having an issue at the moment as keeps coming up with Json error a day sticks to one channel !
Older version worked, since the last update it has been completely unusable. So frustrating especially with the Olympic Games ongoing. Tried reinstalling, but no improvement.
I don't understand why the Android version doesn't support chromecast when the ios version does!! The channels are very limited since ToView took the app from CatchupTv
Unusable. Closes immediately. Uninstalled it and then re installed it. Still no joy. Useless
... And never has done. It plays like the picture needs tuning. EDIT.... Just decided to try this piece of trash again. In yer face adverts? And still no subtitles despite a promise they would look into it? Very limited channels too. The proper apps are better. Not even worth one star.
this is a great app when it works, I've used it for quite a while but in the last two days I get json error showing in the channel view and I can only get BBC1 on every channel. a shame as I woud give it 5 stars if this was ixed.....
Great when it works. I've has a JSON error for all channels for the past few days. Regular problem.
Stopped working. Closes immediately after startup.

Overall brilliant App. Well though through. Excellent interface and very intuitive. Would have given it 5 star as it works well on my Samsung S Plus but.... Had problems when I tried it on my 12 inch 2K resolution Android tab running remix. When the application launches it closes down after 2 seconds. Have reinstalled the app. Other players like ITV and BBC work fine. Even dodgy Mobdro works brilliantly. I wish you could make it work. Thank though for this good application.
