Hook for Android
Simply does not work. Signed up to BFI Player, which sadly forces you to use this disgrace of an app to watch their content. An error is thrown every time I try to play a video. Absolutely not fit for purpose and I will be cancelling my BFI subscription as a result.
NOT SPAM, I'M VERY REAL! There is email/web addresses at the bottom of this page, it has help. I read quite a few NEGATIVE reviews, it works GREAT for what I was told I needed for! And further down a review tells you how to get your video on Chrome. Yes there was a black screen as I opened it but I don't need to open or control anything. I just went back to the site that sent me here to do whatever I need to do! It's up to the site that sent you here if their video isn't playing correctly, don't you think?
It's a disgrace that the BFI player + site takes you to Hook to play a video. I have a downloaded hook three times on a S 7 Android Galaxy Samsung. Still every time I go to play a video it comes up with error and nothing works. Because of this I am going to cancel my subscription to the BFI Plus. I hope both Hook and BFI read these reviews and respond. The BFI which is normally excellent should know there are better and more popular video player apps to link their site to .
This crashed 4- 5 times. It would be a great th I Nguyen if it really worked. Please, fix and I'll try it again in a year to see if it's fixed.
Keeps crashing. 5-6 times in 2 hours. Not just a one off either, same issue each day
Volume cuts out after about 5-10 seconds. Closing, killing, reinstalling the app changed nothing. Didn't happen before.
Why do you even exist when there's YouTube or websites like CNN that can embed their own videos? Just used this once to watch a news video, uninstalling now.
Don't waste your time with this one. It's just not worth it.
Doesn't work. Going to miss my niece's event. Absolute garbage app.
My God ! You could have been simpler! Way is simpler! There is no option for anything to do! It helps in seeing the not so dark side of darkness !
I open the app and the only thing I get is a black screen. No way to go forward. Will cancel it. It's good for nothing.
Kept stalling and making siren sound. It kept shutting off my phone
No chromecast what the hell? Is it so hard for any media players to provide chromecast support? Lame considering some Internet media sources need it. Can't understand why
It does not work at all. It shows a black screen only.
Trying to watch via the Hook player, just get black screen.
This app is used in pages that haven't been updated in a while. No Chromecast capabilities.
Chromecast screen plays sound but no video. BFI have switched to this recently. Beforehand I could cast to my tv with the web player. Won't be resubscribing.
Not needed. 99.99% of online content links to YouTube. Why put another space taking ram eating media app on my phone?
Gives 2006 error, can't find any documentation that even tells me what that error code refers to
This app stopped working, it started not to show picture and now I'm upset , please fix.
I'm trying to watch Taylor Swift's interview on it, and it won't even loaded. It's just a black screen when I go to the app. There's no options to work with or anything. It's ridiculous. Waste of time. I'd give it -1 stars if I could.
No Chromecast support? Please go directly to jail. Do not pass "Go." Amateurs.
crashes constantly on droid 4.4.4 vodafone smart tab 4g using bfi player plus. hopeless.
Forced to download it to watch adidas rockstars and it would only throw errors. Other than playing its demo sales pitch stuff.
I watch all tennis highlights from my mobile, courtesy hook.
Excessive lots times for advertisements, which results in one in three videos not playing at all; of those that do play, they're often not in HD either. My only use for this app is to access coastalwatch content
Downloaded to play ATP videos and it worked great, so 4 stars -- verdict still out for other uses, but for me, running Lollipop on LG G3, just fine so far.
I only use this app to watch #Studio C, otherwise it's a useless app and I can't do anything on it that I can't use other apps for
Business Insider, why do you want us to install yet another app to play video when there's already YouTube, html videos, etc. ? Which doesn't work anyways.
A black history screen is all it displays.
Well, I suppose its ok ... that is if you wish see a good picture, but with no audio. Have checked all my settings, but still no audio. I had to download to watch a particular sports team. So, all I'm curious about at this point is if Hook reads these reviews at all, & do/will they address them.
Not bad but I wonder why Eversport needs a separate player?
Hook doesn't play Sky News feed on flagship Samsung tablet. My fault, I shouldn't be supporting Sky anyway.
I downloaded hook because I wanted to watch some videos on tweeter and every time I open hook it shows me the history page and doesn't give any other option.
I would say if you are blind then this is a prefect app for you , because all you get is a black blank screen with nothing on it.
Works very well no issues on My Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus I can now watch more online streaming videos perfectly after downloading this thankyou! No errors as reported by other people
This is a good app it works fine on my Note 3 and my Note 4 good job
Just install and it is not working
Downloaded & then......? Nothing.

Tbh what is wrong with you people. THE REVIEWS ARE MEANT TO BE READ BY THE PEOPLE WHO CREATED THE APP TO MAKE IT BETTER. I am not the only person that thinks this. Please, read this review, understand it, and try to fix it. If you can it's as simple as responding we are working on it.
