More adverts than programmes! Also, keeps jumping on all devices - not just in our house but friends too. Other streaming platforms don't do this. Internet speed is really good so not this that's c... See more

As well as feeling irritated myself, trying to binge watch Hypothetical, whilst at least 10 times a show it skips a few seconds so you miss punchlines and key parts, the talent involved must be rippin... See more

It's a shocker. Agree with all the other one star reviews. Very slow to load; frequently just "sticks" and says "refresh," which virtually never works; sometimes jumps back to the beginning withou... See more

TOO MANY DAM ADVERTS..... literally press continue watching on catch up and get 5 adverts and then 2 mins later get another 9 adverts..... within 10 mins of watching programme another batch of adver... See more

We’ve been streaming UKTV for over 9 years now and it’s been absolutely great. They offer a huge range of international channels to choose from so it’s never boring and all the terrestrials are there... See more

7 adverts 3 minutes into programme. Then ten minutes if show then another 5 adverts. It ruins the whole viewing experience. Why like can’t it offer the same as itvx. No advert subscription. I have NEV... See more

Everyone mentions a large amount of content and I get Ads have their purpose, but the U app just turns your screen into a digital billboard. When you do get past the Ads, you get to watch a few mi... See more

Trying to watch Masterchef Australia. Occasionally it works but usually a message comes up saying “Oops this is embarrassing” and the programme won’t load. At other times it plays the adverts ok but t... See more

Every time there is an advert break the programme either jumps to the next episode or even 2 or 3 episodes ahead so you have to return to the home screen and start again and even then it repeats this... See more

Decided to abandon this rubbish. It’s ad, after ad, after annoying ads which go on for ages, sometimes 9 then programme plays for a few mins then guess what, more tedious ads. I’ll never watch this ev... See more

Good content with a very good selection, but totally ruined by all the CONSTANT ADVERTS! Far too many ads in one break, I wouldn't mind 2,3 or even 4 or 5 ads - but they go on and on and on...!!! Yo... See more

Awful platform with far too many adverts and no option to subscribe so you don’t have to put up with them. Looking at the other reviews it’s pretty pointless having all these adverts when people won’t... See more

Positive - 1 -large content variety Negative - 2 (and these will bug you to no end!!!!) -8-9 adverts at a time (up to 30 sec long each). -constantly skips to the next episode while watching... See more

What is wrong with this platform - it keeps deleting my account claiming I've not used it - I use the the damn thing regularly! It's frustrating as periodically it wipes out the shows I'm watching.... See more

I would offer minis 1 star if I could. Awful service, glitchy and the ads are insane! I'd pay an inordinate amount of money to sack them off!! FFS. Never had to abandon a steaming service before. Plea... See more

Absolutely terrible. Both app and website do not load programs. More than happy to load multiple ads perfectly fine at full quality, but then the program will conveniently never load and buffer like c... See more

What a pathetic channel this is now. There are some really good shows to be watched on U. Unfortunately, frustratingly and surely harmful to the content producers, are the utterly ridiculous amount... See more

My mum is deaf. Bern enjoying series 17 MasterChef Australia but after episode 6 the subtitles have disappeared? Where have they gone? They usually show up at start of programme so you can toggle on... See more

Drowning in more episodes of Bangers and Cash, actual channel not much better. No variety anymore, use to be one of my favourite channels along with Eden. Gone completely to pot.

U and Drama review - Good shows but 9 ads at one time some being 28 secs and 20+ secs for others each time with more adds within 10 mins totally ruins the show. No matter how good the show selection i... See more

Way too many ads. 20 min program has about 30 ads or something. Also in the last 30 seconds of the show it just cuts to ads/next episode so you miss whatever is still happening.

Pause watching a programme after a 3 month start, on replaying end up suffering 9- NINE adverts! 1 minute into replaying, it decides to show another 9- NINE ADVERTISEMENTS

Terrible.. can't watch one episode without about 30 errors occuring... Enjoying my series but cannot watch the bloody thing! I've watched more adverts than episodes... Sort it out!

Looks like they have great content but never loads or runs on the app on 4k tv "we are having trouble playing this show" , endlessly . I'm amazed they haven't gone bust as can't watch anything

Put too many ads in shows you get 4 at start of the show and then get 10-12 ads during show it's annoying, it wasn't that bad before maybe 4-7 ads, but now I no longer want to use the service. Also... See more

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO STOP PUTTING ADVERTS OVER PROGRAMMS ON RESUMING PLAY,I AM SICK OF HAVING TO WATCH THESE OVER AND OVER AND NOT THE SHOW I AM STREAMING!!! YOU GIVE THESE MORE AIRTIME THAN THE PRO... See more

Very limited selection of mainly BBC shows which are of no interest to me because I stopped watching BBC material 20 years ago. I gave up watching the 2 series that actually appealed to me after the n... See more

Too many ads.It feels like I'm the product not the consumer 2-5 ads is fair enough but 12 irrelevant ads is a blatant cash grab at the expense of my time. My time has been monetized for profit and I d... See more

Too many adverts repeated on loop. Im fed up with the trivago ad, the AA ad and the Numan ad where shes stuffing her face in every shot, also fed up with funeral and appeal ads. Are these your main in... See more

Great programs ruined by endless amount of badly timed ad breaks, programs cut off early in the name of 'skipping credits '. Pretty much unwatchable, such a shame

Worst streaming service ever if you stop the program it goes back to the beginning every time won’t carry on where you left off off more adverts than any other channel which you are forced to watch ru... See more

Can I give no stars? Worst TV experience ever. How in this day and technological age can they get it so spectacularly wrong? I’ve given up…

The frequent interruptions with excessive adverts has left me incredibly frustrated at the loss of flow and momentum to the programmes I have wanted to watch. I'm giving up on this channel.

Can't give it minus stars or I would! The amount of adverts is ridiculous. I get that you use them so the service is free but to be honest you might as well just watch 3 hrs of adverts non stop for al... See more

I needed to use the U player to see the last few minutes of the latest Annika episode. That was because the time signal sent to my Freesat recorder cut the feed off before the show ended. I tried to g... See more

Too many adverts, often repeated several times and recordings often crashed during them. Tried for first and last time today.

Used to enjoy watching but now just takes the Mick with the number of adverts. Recently had TWO consecutive sets of 11 ads in the same break. I give up.

This is the worst channel for ads.I just get frustrated and stop watching...12 ads together this morning and the time spent on each part in between ads is so short.Definitely not worth the effort!!

You get a few minutes of programme and then you either get loads of adverts 9 or 10 sometimes but the worst is it stops and gives you an error code with the promise of reloading but it never goes back... See more

Tried to register i have done and it still keeps asking me ,ive unplugged everything and still won't, this is absolutely ridiculous,

Unwatchable, just ad after ad after ad, what's the actual point, it's not really a service for programme's at all, absolute tosh

Oh my god. Worse than Ch4 app. Had to watch 9 ads before start of show, for the programme to buffer and refresh and then I had to sit through the ads again. What a joke. Lesson learnt. Make sure to re... See more

far too many adverts lasting at least six minutes. I don't mind some advertisments but not every four mins

Great programmes Overwhelming amount of advertising Which spoils the programme Hence why I have deleted the app

ONCE AGAIN WE ARE BACK TO REPEATING THE 5 SAME BLOODY ADVERTS AFTER PAUSING PLAY !! SURE YOU GO OUT OF YOU WAY TO PISS VIEWERS OFF

I've been trying to watch programmes on U but the adds and after them i end up watching a different programme. app. is a total waisted effort

Utterly dreadful. Must have been developed by Mad Jack McMad on one of his off days. Looks cheap and vulgar and NEVER works. A new LOW in UK streaming.

Ridiculous signing in process every time I want to watch it. Takes longer than watching a program!

All we want to do is finish watching the last 5 minutes of a programme but when we press 'resume' we get nine 30 second ads. Then it auto skips to the next episode thinking we want to watch t... See more
