I'd give zero stars if I could. STV Player has to be the worst streaming service ever. Trying to watch World Cup live games - what a joke, endless adverts, control bar not working, keeps glitching a... See more

I'm done with this app. Every pause or rewind causes you to have to sit through adverts you've already been subjected to. I've no problem with ads generally, such as on Prime or other streamers where... See more

STV Player waste of time
I haven't been able to view anything in STV Player now for ages, just the old blue circle going round and round, so now just as bad as ITVX.

I have fast broadband and a brand new macbook pro, and yet Stv player will not work properly. Constant buffering, going back to the beginning etc. It's honestly an embarrassment. I just got it working there just now after 20 minutes of reloading only for it to crash when I maximised the screen. Viewers in Scotland deserve better than this.

It drives me mad when it starts buffering and you have to stop what you are watching. The worst part is restarting the programme which goes back to the beginning and you have your go through all the adverts again. Very frustrating if you are watching a series.

ITV No Player
I live in Scotland so when I go on ITVX I’m told to go to STV Player. Dreadful, stopping at the adverts, will only show first four episodes on the line-up and I spend ages trying to get to episodes 5 and six. That’s when it doesn’t want me on series 5 but rather 4 grrrrr NIGHTMARE. Why can’t we watch on ITVX? Netflix and Prime don’t redirect you elsewhere because you live in Scotland or indeed BBC Iplayer. WHY?!!!???

Utter garbage!!
Utter garbage!!! I'm so fed up sitting down to watch a series and I'll get through an episode or two only for it to stall in the ad breaks and take me back to the start?!?! Wtf?? Happened when watching the bay, took me 20 minutes before I realised I'd watched the same episode three times!!! Restarted it again and again, and now sitting down to watch unforgotten and goes to an ad breaks....same bloody thing, took me back to home screen and no "continue watching" as it hadn't registered I'd started watching it all so I've now restarted the whole series AGAIN!!! total waste of time, I feel like I could step into some of the roles myself now as I've seen the same bloody parts over and over. Get it sorted!!! Only happens on stv player and itvx none of the other channels have these issues. It's so frustrating

Useless
Useless. I don’t usually use the STV player but forced to use it to watch the Wales v Italy 6 nations match. It refuses to play live so I am now forced to watch the whole thing including all the pre match chat. Begs the question, how do they compete with better platforms like iPlayer etc.?

Great programmes but the sound is really bad. Reset all my sound settings but still could not follow the dialogue on most programmes.

Awful
Awful, every time you pause it can't play again, gets stuck, if you go out and go in again and select resume (not restart) it restarts from the beginning, and forces you to watch every set of adverts again to get to the pointyou left. Too many ads, too many times.
