I wish you had an option for Irish customers to pay not to see ads. It’s a waste of time trying to ram more useless products down our throats. I’m not ever goi g to buy any of the advertised goods anyway, out of principle. But you could earn some money if you allows me to skip the bloody ads

Bad functionality, bad support

Won’t stream Afcon football live in Ireland even though they have the rights and show it on the TV channel. When I contacted support, they advised me that I could watch replays uploaded to the app at a later date. Useless, who wants to watch an old match with the outcome already known? I then asked why can’t I just watch live on the app and would this ever change? They completely ignored my questions and just said “your comments have been noted and logged”. It’s nearly 2026 and the app is still worse than the TV channel, what’s the point. I just wanted to watch some football…
Annoying!

The amount of ads is unbearable! There’s 3/4 ad breaks in every show and each segment is about 3 mins long. May as well watch it on the tv, at least there would be some variety in the ads. There’s only 8, maybe 10 different ads and the same one often repeats in the one segment. It’s great that’s there’s so much content for free but the ads are off putting. Other services reduce the amount of ads the more it’s used. It’s also annoying that I can’t link the app to a tv. I can mirror everything else from my iPad to my Apple TV except this app.
Great app, difficulties with casting content though

Overall, I really do enjoy this app. The opportunity to stream a wide range of content truly is a novelty. However, it would be a significant upgrade if it was compatible with more devices. Just a suggestion from personal experience. Love this app and would recommend it to others by all means.Regards
You can now cast live TV straight from the app to the big screen. Cast any show – live or catch-up – with subtitles. Just toggle subtitles ‘on’ in your player settings.
