A handy app to have if you're in the forces however I don't use it all that often. Here's why: The amount of times the mobile app crashes is ridiculous, and usually at opportune times of programmes. Football, for example...the app crashes a lot whenever there's a major incident. I don't know whether the servers get overloaded but I feel the app requires far more support than it has currently and although the website I use on my laptop crashes too, it does so on a far fewer number of occasions.

Great app. Used this when based in Italy for 2 years and had no issues with it. It was better than the BFBS TV set top box it has more choices and catch up. If you are using it in the UK or on a device that connection ends on a UK IP address then you will have limited access. This is because of the broadcast rights that BFBS has. When outside the UK when you connect using an international connection (non UK IP address) then you get access to all channels

Works far better than the computer-based web-page which frequently has no connection due to 502 bad gateway. I use this app to watch all UK football, rugby and other sports as I am assigned overseas. If it crashes, it's usually due to a login failure which can be resolved by logging in to the Defence Gateway on the same device.
