There are quite a bit of really brilliant shows to watch, that being said, theres literally tonnes of shows not featured on in this app. I dont not know if it is a licensing...thing but there is most definitely room to add much much more. That being said again, bring back, The Young Ones. why was that removed. All in all, i give this streaming service a three.
For over three weeks I've been unable to cast to our TV. I notified BritBox and they say they're aware of the issue. In some of the reviews here, they say they've fixed the Chromecast problems, but they haven't. If we can't use the app, we should at least have our subscriptions extended for the time we've been unable to watch anything. Seriously reconsidering my future subscription.
I love the content but new episodes are released VERY slowly. I have been getting D.I. P. spoilers for months. Maybe putting the US release dates in the show information would be nice. I think that a "picture in picture" feature for tablets and mobile devices would be great. I want to be able to minimize the screen and use other apps on my phone. I have other apps that offer this feature (Prime, Netflix, Paramount+). Again, I love the content, but I agree with other reviews that the app can be improved on.
Love the content but considering unsubscribing in search for a more reliable service. As others mentioned, the app just stops working (you get a grey screen or a loading screen) from time to time. This happened on Feb 5th, when it did not work for a day, and today again. I don't use it every day, so it is possible it doesn't work more often than just a few days a month. No response or apologies/refunds from developers. Please fix this.
I woukd enjoy this app if I could get it to stream to my TV without glitching. It's so bad that I gave up. It will stop about every 30 seconds to a minute then restart from the beginning of the show. I'm not going to pay more monthly to watch on my cell, so bye bye Britbox. It would help if I could adjust streaming quality so I could get it on the TV. As it is, the app just doesn't work very well and there aren't any settings to adjust.
Been subscribed for over a year and have always been able to cast to my TV. Starting a few days ago, it won't let me cast it and just says "britbox" in huge letters on my TV screen when I do try to cast it but then the show just plays on my phone. I've done all the usual uninstalling and installing back, checked my chrome cast which works fine with Netflix. Super frustrating that I'm paying for something I can't watch on my TV. Maybe time to unsubscribe if I don't hear from anyone. Hm...
Love Britbox, but some issues with the app. A lot of buffering--some shows will only play two or three minutes at a time. My watchlist, stuff disappears from it regularly. It would be nice to mark episodes as watched, especially when watching a program with a lot of seasons. Britbox is totally worth it, but the app could use some tweaks.
I've been a BritBox subscriber for a couple of years now. In the beginning, this app worked OK though it seemed a little buggy. But at least I was able to play content on it and Chromecast. A year later it started getting worse, with a frequent spinning circle at loading the app, which wouldn't stop until I restarted my Pixel 3. But now it's gotten totally impossible to use. The spinning is always there and restarting doesn't solve the problem. And emails to support yield no help.
Great content, but I wish it kept track of what I watch better. When I go back to a Series, I have to guess which episode I'm on because it doesn't track properly. Some of the episodes show I've watched, but not all, and it rarely comes up with the last watched show at the correct position in the Continue Watching menu. But this is my only complaint, and should be easy to fix as every other streaming app works properly.
I love this service, but this app needs serious work. 80% of the time it can't even open. It just sits there spinning on the loading screen. I have to restart my phone to get it to work sometimes. The app also doesn't seem to remember where I was in an episode, or which episodes I've been watching in the "continue watching" section. I'd also really like a skip +/- 15 seconds option so I could skip some intros. That being said, I love the Britbox service and selection. Just needs a better app.
