I think this is a great app like if your mom dad sister or brother or on the tv's you can just take out your mobile device and watch on that and they have kids adults and for teens I love this app and definitely recommend it for anyone

Slow to death. Quite buggy in many way. Needs a lot of work.

Rob Kaiser

Just got a Oneplus 5 and it is not supported by your app. It tells me the device is rooted but it is not.

Alon Berman

Expired downloads are not removed from the device and take up storage space. Can't screen cast / mirror cast as it pauses the content.

Tinyiko Msweli July 24, 2017

It works great the only issue it is when you're live streaming certain shows and it has a delay between the app and the actual TV

Chibueze Okoji July 26, 2017

I have used this app for months now. I tell you. It is good. You need a good internet access to enjoy it.

ashley hill July 26, 2017

I am using a Samsung J7 and it is not working. Tells me about this being a rooted smart phone

Jacques Aucamp July 27, 2017

Please consider a smart app for Samsung and other smart TVs

MultiChoice Support Services (Pty) Ltd May 18, 2017

Hi Jacques, Rooted devices do not provide secure decryption environment for videos as they are considered compromised from DRM point of view. Due to legal reasons, we have to block them.

Muhyideen Adejare Kareem Raji July 28, 2017

jacky roux July 24, 2017

I love this app

Donovan Morelli July 21, 2017

Not sure how a company like Multichoice can release an app that is so inconsistent in operability. Even though I have a premium account I keep getting an error message saying I don't and cannot use the app. The live chat agents are appalling they keep saying they have updated the profile then I must log out and login - still the same error. Then told to uninstall and log in again still same error. Then it worked for 1 day and now today it gives the same error. Absolutely shocking to release an app that cannot be supported.

June 26, 2017

Hello. Overall it's a good app. I just have one request. In the old so that son will not be supported, I can transfer funds between accounts. That is ... between the Box Office and the Premium account. I would appreciate it if that feature is carried over the to the new app as it is very very useful. Thank you. Regards, Sizwe

ester nel July 17, 2017

I have a pricelock on a premium plan and the app says i have to have a premium subscription...? And i did enter the correct details so now i have everything correct but still can't stream or download anything,and i am in south africa so its not a problem of being outside borderlines. I am not pleased with this app at all

MultiChoice Support Services (Pty) Ltd July 21, 2017

Hi Ester Please contact our support team at dstvnow@support.dstv.com with the exact details of the issue you are experiencing. Regards

Pieter Hill July 22, 2017

The layout of the new update looks great. I have it installed on a mediabox with a Rii8+ remote. And just there it becomes useless! two finger scrolling on the touchpad is useless. navigation with the arrow keys is not implemented, or broken. Cant believe beta testing was so poor before final release!

Jarrod Walters July 24, 2017

Not sure why when i download any movie to watch at home later it gets to around 400mb and then states there is a network error? I can download smaller things such a series that are only 300mb. Any idea why this happens. Please help?

MultiChoice Support Services (Pty) Ltd December 5, 2016

Thank you for the feedback. We will be releasing an update (1.28.2) in the next day or two to fix video playback. In the meantime, logging out and logging in again should solve the problem.

Clint White July 22, 2017

The app is okay, but I keep getting an error message when watching a movie. None of the our streaming apps I use and subscribed to has this issue. Please fix! Sorry, there was a problem playing the video is starting to annoy me.

KYRA KING June 28, 2017

ITS a good app but the only problem which is occuring is that whenever i would like to watch something the screen glitches. This was not occuring when i first started of. It has only been a day with this app. Please help!

Psuedoir V July 9, 2017

App does not allow registration nor can dstv helpline assist lame excuse about system not recognising id numbers try in 1 hour to no avail. This even after id confirmed against contract. app and service sucks . Had to call a second time and eventually transferred to someone who assisted . Very complicated to get set up not intuitive at all.

Ruan Steyn July 23, 2017

Just updated, not working on my JVC Android TV. Now complains that the Android device is ROOTED... Yet it is stock standard. Can no longer watch anything apart from the main decoder. completely useless now.

Alex Gouws July 4, 2017

Great app. However, I wish the HD channels would actually display the content in HD instead of it downscaling. Even with the correct quality settings, the quality of the stream still looks like 480p at best on almost all channels streaming on a 50mbps connection. If it was like YouTube where you could physically see the difference between 720p and 480p when you change the settings, this app would be perfect and I'd 5 star it all the way.

Nadeem Hoosen July 16, 2017

Does not work with Samsung screen mirroring. DSTV does not work on my smart TV browser. And the app doesn't work. So all that's left is to cancel my subscription and sign up to one of the streaming services like Netflix or amazon

Wynand Breytenbach June 24, 2017

Why do you block this service in some countries? What is the use paying so much money if I cannot use this to watch my Sports and Shows when travelling overseas? Useless Monopolitical Multichoice!!!

MultiChoice Support Services (Pty) Ltd June 25, 2017

Hi Wynand, MultiChoice only has the rights to make content available on DStv Now within the borders of the African continent and adjacent islands, which is why streaming on DStv Now is not available outside of these borders. If you download a Catch Up title on the app prior to leaving, you will be able to watch that on your device while travelling.

khanyisa mahuzi June 27, 2017

The app works okay on my phone but the only problems it seems to fail to play programs that are also live like a live soccer game or a live tv show. Please fix that

Ben McDonald July 11, 2017

Why have you changed the live TV menu? To change channel it's very cumbersome, as it changes to new page, stops what you are viewing, builds the menu every time from the beginning before you can select a channel again. Please address.

Gerard Habib June 26, 2017

I have a Nvidia shield Android TV for my holiday home and play Netflix HULU YouTube etc... on the unit but the DSTV now app is not avaliable for it... I purchased this Android device as it was supposed to have the best hardware possible... please can you advise if DSTV now will be avaliable for the Nvidia at all? 5***** if it does come avaliable.

MultiChoice Support Services (Pty) Ltd June 27, 2017

Hi Gerard, Yes, we are working on a native Android TV app and we will definitely release it to the public as soon as possible. Kind regards

AK Hoosain July 21, 2017

App crashes when I try to do remote recording. Worked faultlessly before.

Tony Himmel June 28, 2017

This app totally sucks. I don't know wether it has something to do with the country one is from, but the app continually kick me out and dont recognise my password
