1. 2/5Love/ Hate Relationship

   I personally love VH1 and all of the shows that it airs. I personally don’t always have the time to watch my favorite shows live which is why I downloaded the app. I’ve have the app for well over 6 Months and honestly no matter how many times there’s an update the problems never seem to get fixed. Often times in the middle of watching a show the sound will cut off and video will just play on its own, when I try to rewind I get hit with a bunch of commercials I don’t feel like watching. Speaking of commercials, this app plays too many of them & they all seem to be the same exact commercials that honestly gets so tiring. With this new update, if I were to accidentally lock my phone or interrupt the show in any way the entire thing starts over from the beginning and as I fast forward I have to sit through the same boring commercials. You have to have a lot of patients when dealing with this app but truth be told it’s honestly easier to just watch a show live on tv.

2. 1/5Waste of time

   I pay for my cable service so I don’t understand why after signing in that there’s like 20 commercials for a 40 minute show. If I get a text or a phone call the show starts all over again and I have to sit through the whole show all over again. Total waste. Other apps that I use on a daily like tlc and lifetime don’t give this trouble. Don’t waste your time with this app. *****update I understand that this app is ad supported however it is not free of charge because I have to sign in to my cable account that I pay for in order to view your shows. It seems like your response to my first review and to many others is bogus. This app isn’t worth the free download. There’s a ridiculous amount of commercials and it doesn’t save the spot. If you receive a phone call or leave out the app for any reason the show will restart and you will be forced to sit there and watch it all over again. No one is looking for a nonsense response just fix the app. It clearly needs the help based on previous reviews.

3. 1/5love the shows, hate the app

   first off, i love a lot of vh1’s programming. i have no issues with the actual content; my qualms are with this trashy app. if you close the app for a half second or even pull down notification center (without closing the app) it starts your show over and makes you watch thousands of garbage ads before maybe giving you the chance to fast forward to where you left off. incredibly inconvenient for people with lives that have to check emails, watch the time, etc. even when we’re watching tv. we get it. you want the ad revenue. (and no, the fact that the app is free is not an adequate justification for any of this. your users are paying a lot of money to still subscribe to cable in the age of netflix/hulu. and even if your absurd capitalist explanations “justify” the obscene amount of ads, there’s absolutely no excuse for having such a useless, nonfunctional app when clearly your users are crying out for changes to be made and, again, WE ARE PAYING MONEY TO ACCESS THE CONTENT ON THE APP.) now please give us a functioning app or drop the false pretenses and admit you don’t care about anything but profit

4. 2/5Needs lots of work!

   I have had this app for a while and thought by now they would have improved it. Watching my reality shows on here is painful sometimes. I have actually rewatched shows on my tv after I had already watched here and realized somehow I missed a whole section of the show. There have been times that I will be watching and for no reason the episode will just start over. Plus most of the time (not all but most) if you leave the app then go back in, it jumps back to the beginning of your episode and you have to scroll through to figure out where you left off. The episodes start from new to old but if you are watching episode 3 it automatically goes to episode 2 when you finish instead of going to 4 which makes no sense at all. The commercials are terrible and repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat. I understand we have to watch them in order to get the free app but they could at least be normal commercials that you see on TV. Some of these look like my children produced them. I had to sit through 20 seconds of a child swimming and doing flips in a pool with no words, no promoting, nothing. Umm ok. Then they promote stores and events all in FL lol. I’m in NJ and can’t figure out how to change the settings. We get it, Ace Hardware pays a lot to promote with VH1! I can’t remove closed caption to save my life which drives me crazy. But you get what you pay for I guess lol thank god for on demand with cable!

5. 1/5Commercials/freeze freeze freeze

   I decided to watch a episode of love and hip hop holiday and boy was it a painful experience, it was so painful deleted the app, right before I was painfully waiting for the end. First and foremost, the last 10 mins of the episode had so many commercial breaks, the episode would get interrupted, every 1-2 mins after a argument or highlight for a 2-4 min commercial break...it’s like I was at the end of the episode and I couldn’t even reach the end the last 10 mins had more than SIX: 3-5 mins commercial breaks my blood pressure began to boil and boil and not only that at the end of multiple commercials segments the commercial would just freeze and you would have to press play multiple times for it to restart, hoping that it wouldn’t freeze again...it was so painful, my chest started hurting it took me so long to get to the end of the episode, I literally closed the device and deleted the app immediately !!! It’s 2018, a app shouldn’t be this bad from a television company
