Ratings and reviews

Ever since the upgrade, it's so bad, it works a quarter of the time and brings a message, "something went wrong" which never used to happen. I will not subscribe again if I can't access it whenever I want. There's is no much help from online support. I feel so frustrated after paying and wanting to continue with my shows. It's no longer giving value for money.

Good and bad. Good is general ease of use. Documentaries the biggest draw. Bad is the little things. For some reason, you cannot skip 10 or 20 seconds at a time, it fast forwards like the old VCRs. So now I have to rewind again if I just want to skip a few seconds and it went too far. Please fix this. Constant freezing is very annoying. You lose a star. Subtitles also very inconsistent - for some episodes of the same series it works and not for others. 'Skip intro' should be on all series.

This new "X" Showmax app it's absolutely rubbish. At this point I cannot even watch anything. You select something to watch and only the trailer works. Nothing plays. A complete disappointment, that deserves a zero rating. Even the UI/UX it's been problematic on the smart TV. The fast forward or rewind it is so horrible it moves too fast. The previous version was not perfect, but it was way match better.
