  1. 5/5It has a couple bugs but what app doesn’t

    It has a couple things that could be tweaked but honestly no app is perfect 100% of the time. While trutv has some funny shows, I have to admit that whoever writes the “developers responses” for this app , I have paused trutv just to read!! Whoever wrote some of those needs a channel of his own! They are hilarious in their responses to some of bashes they receive! Keep up the good work and the funny, yet helpful solutions:) ❤️

  2. 1/5Just all around a poor app.

    I downloaded this app to watch Adam Ruin's Everything because it is the only place available to watch the show without buying the entire show outright. To say my experience with the app was terrible is an understatement. For one; the app will frequently have bug, causing issues with the interface. On the topic of that interface, I find it very hard and clunky to navigate. It's made even worse by the fact that episodes are listed from newest to oldest, meaning if you want to watch a series from the beginning, you have to scroll to the bottom and select each episode, rather than just having it autoplay. The app also frequently logs me out of my tv provider, and sometimes when I try to log back in, it just doesn't work at all, and I will ne unable to watch anything due to the app logging me out. I am stunned at how poor quality this app is.

  3. 4/5Captuons

    I love that I can watch some shows on TruTV, especially sporting events that are supposed to be on TBS but start late for one reason or another. However, I can’t for the life of me on the Apple TV find a way to shut off the closed captions. I see the CC briefly on the screen when you go to live TV, but there’s no way to actually select it and shut them off. I’ve checked my settings and all captions are turned off in the main settings so I’m not sure why TruTV on the Apple TV is ignoring my settings and won’t let me shut them off. They take up too much room on the screen; it’s annoying. Other than that, it’s just as good as any other TV app.

  4. 1/5After the app automatically logs me in, it crashes

    FIRST Unable to validate content login error. UPDATE ALLOWED ME TO AUTOMATICALLY LOG IN on home network, but crashes as soon as i click on a episode to watch. App is STILL worthless JUNK. What did you do with all the money your mother gave you to hire a programer ? Update.....sorry but what more details do you need? Your app crashes when I click on a episode to watch. The app was updated and current. I have deleted the app like so many other reviewers here, it is still junk Update again......it is happening on my iphone and ipad pro both running most recent ios over wifi. My dog was sitting by my side wagging it’s tail. But these details are all available to your programer in their crash report log,but perhaps they would rather ask meaningless question then fix your app. It crashes, it is not working and it is not a isolated experience.

  5. 2/5It’s lacking compared to other entertainment apps

    If you close out of the app and re-open it, it won’t hold your place from where you left off last night. You have to start the whole episode from the beginning. Sometimes the commercial breaks will play two, three times in a row, the same commercials over and over again. And if you rewind too far you have to watch the commercials again even if you already watched them. It’s just a bit flawed. Also I’m really annoyed because two days ago all of the episodes were available for I’m Sorry, season two, and today only the first three episodes are there! So I can’t even watch from where I left off.
