This app is unstable to the point it's almost unusable. Any time we try to watch TV we get the circle loading screen of death after a few minutes. This is with 1 gig internet. I've hardwired the TV and used wifi, it makes no difference. No other streaming service we have has any loading issues. The user interface is terrible too. If you go to the guide, it closes you out of your show instead of going into a picture in picture mode. It's only positive is that it is $30 cheaper than the others.
Reviews for Fubo: Watch Live TV & Sports
← Back to Fubo: Watch Live TV & SportsExpensive and inconsistent. The app is so frustrating for casting. Playback of recorded content is difficult when you try to advance to a specific time. If you try to watch a game live that is also being recorded, it always drops at some point and restarts the game from the beginning. Then, it won't let you advance to the live time. Infuriating. My sound drops off from time to time. Live feeds consistently stutter, I get a spinning wheel, and then it comes back on. Unacceptable for the cost.
I am not a fan of this app. It's quite cumbersome. It's difficult to move back and forth between networks, and it kept requesting that I change settings that I had already changed. I got frustrated trying to navigate it. It should be easier. I give two stars because it picked up from drops in service quickly. However, I was completely unable to pause, even though the button was available. Also, I accidentally clicked off the show and couldn't restart it without editing the app. Very awkward.
It is really annoying that you cannot go back or forward on recorded live events that are recording in that same moment and have to watch them since the beginning even if you just missed some part of the second half of the game (which has nit ended yet) and want to see just starting from that second half part you missed for example... In other words, if I want to watch a game 10 minutes later than it started recording, I can but I cannot fast forward to keep up and catch the live streaming or be a few minutes behind the streaming but less minu6 behind than when I started the recording from the begging (note the program hasn't finished yet so it doesn't appear in "My Videos" just in "scheduled"). It is extremely annoying not to be able to fast forward or go back in a program that is recording but you started watching it later than the live stream but before the program ended. If it wasn't for that, it would be great.
Ok, posting this review here. I just spent 20 minutes trying to set up a new Fubo account. The experience was smooth until loading the payment card. Absolute garbage. Constant messages indicating the card was declined yet the institutions never sent me any text messages indicating that nor was the card locked on their sites. Plenty of credit line available. I tried on a laptop browser than in mobile. Utter failure. Then I looked for reviews and Reddit had tons of people saying the same.
My guy uses it for sports and NCIS origins and has no problem watching on his phone or iPad but watching on the TV will be anywhere from 1/6-12 things of commercials within one ad time. So it'll pause to show the ad, saying 1/8, fine, it's break time. Once it gets closer to being done it'll glitch and freeze (and start counting negative) and restart the TV or restart the ad so u could be watching like 20 ads it seems. this is so expensive for this ridiculous and dumb glitching. DO BETTER
I have to say I love Fubo, I had a complaint about the phone flipping between landscape mode and portrait mode WAY to easily and making it hard to watch. I'm happy to say they actually fixed it! The only complaint I have now, which isn't horrible, but I wish you could still zoom in a bit. It used to let you but since they fixed one problem, now you can't zoom which makes it hard when watching sports. However, that being said I'd rather it be this way than the old way! Appreciate then listening!
I signed up for a free trial of a $105 package. I canceled because there were more ads than movie when I tried to watch a movie last night. every 10 minutes there were six to eight ads and unlike some other streaming services it didn't tell you how long you had before the ads were over. It was incredibly frustrating. I would have expected such an expensive package to be ad free. unless you want to watch sports and have no other options I don't recommend fubo for movies.
please fix the bugs. every time I try to stream i get an error. " unable to play this content, an error occurred while loading, try again" I try for about 30 minutes every time and I give up. Every time they update the app I can't stream to my TV! it takes them a couple days to realize they screwed something up, eventually they fix it but it sucks!.
As a user, I don't see myself recommending or staying a member. While, yes, there are several types of sports you can watch, rarely they are relevant. I can only watch maybe one NBA playoff game a night (sometimes there are more per night). Same as baseball. Not worth it, IMO. I guess I will be going back to what I had and it seems better to just pay for the season of the team I follow. In conclusion, I will be canceling my subscription and I don't recommend it.
the app experience is really good, one of the best streaming apps. However, the subscription is disappointing. I just want to watch live sports, but instead get 300 channels of absolute garbage, and find out you need a bunch of different subscriptions to watch various games. I really do NOT want any of that junk, completely sick of paying for junk TV just to watch sports. Cut the garbage!
buggy and obnoxious app. Right now it won't let me watch any TV. I click on the channel I want, it brings up the loading screen and stops there. A lot of the time they'll try to push me to watch some sporting event that I couldn't care less about. I'll be browsing the guide and I get a pop-up to some stupid soccer game and it won't let me use any buttons on my remote until I click "OK" on the pop up to watch the stupid soccer game. That or I have to close the app entirely to avoid the pop up.
Horrible promotion service. Days after the cancelation of your free trial period, they still charge your account. Then, make you wait 7 to 10 days to get your money back. Disappointment is an understatement. Coverage wasn't even that good. Look elsewhere for any sports coverage. We can do way better here!!!
Ad filled waste of time!!! I timed them, and it literally shows 7 mins of a show and then 7 mins of ads. Sometimes, the show will come back for a few seconds and then 7 more mins of ads. I'm glad I did a free trial because I would NEVER pay for this app. It's extremely frustrating and definitely not worth it!!!!!
Works fine if streaming from wifi. If you are trying to watch anything on your phone on your phone service network, you will not be able to. I spent almost 2hrs with customer service for them to tell me to try everything I already tried(and told them I tried). They also do not have customer support through the app, so you have to find the website and find support that way. It was all very frustrating.
The app is unusable on my phone. I reinstalled the app and logged in. It brings me to the profile page and I select my profile but it won't move forward. I cleared the cache, cleared data, uninstalled it, restarted the phone, reinstalled it and the same exact behavior. Nothing left to do but wait for a patch to fix it.
it's a garbage app. free trial ended and they gave no heads up as was mentioned they would. proceeded to charge me and now I have to go through the ridiculous hoops it takes to cancel the subscription. of course they never have a subscription option on their app because that would be too easy for the customer. app didn't even have the channels or teams they said they would have. complete waste of time and money
Horrible! They get you with an odd length free trial of 5 days. I remembered 30 days, but have no proof and could have misunderstood during stressful time. Realized right away I had been charged. Not only was customer service difficult to access, and when I did finally find a human they had zero interest in helping me. Had planned on getting service in Oct if I liked trial (and I did), but couldn't afford it this month. Not anymore after this first experience
The TV app is absolutely terrible. It crashes often, the guide usually won't load, it's slow and freezes a lot, it's slow and often doesn't work right going in and out of channels. It's enormously overpriced too. edit- it crashes on EVERY device, 2 TVs and 2 different mobiles. the FF & RW features don't work on live tv because it will usually give the error message and crash. I have to often open it several times before I can watch it & why am I forced to buy a local sports package I don't want
Signed up for free trial and made the mistake of trusting Fubo when they said they'd notify you before it ends. They do, but only a few hours before they charge you $86. My fault for trusting them, but price is still outrageous. Cancelling it was also a huge hassle. Doesn't appear you can in the app and it's buried on the website. Used it to watch one game and that was a hassle to figure out and search for also. Never again.
