Binge 12+

In love

Despite the very harsh and very negative reviews I have read, this app has made a very outstanding difference to its competitors! I’m in love with the easy access and many useful features such as being able to view seasons, episodes and entirely different shows all whilst still being able to view the show that is being streamed! Although many improvements can be made such as the content view, allowing us only to see the most desirable shows, it is clear that this app sets itself away from others by allowing us to view mainstream or lower levelled shows that they may not.

I’m seriously in love and really supporting this app through its stages of improvement hopefully however I still enjoy being able to figure out and utilise its many unique features!

Smaller things are quite bugging though such as an error telling me that I’m reaching maximum streaming limit when I have access to only two streams and I haven’t handed out a spare account or mentioned to anyways that I have subscribed to Binge. Pretty frustrating having to close the application to reopen it and continue streaming every 15 minutes

Poor quality viewing & useless app

There very little available to watch and all low quality. The app is entirely useless. Drops out all the time when watching. Watch until the end and it still shows them in the continue “Bingeing”. Doesn’t matter if you watch the entire show or skip to the end they still don’t disappear. Is it really that hard to have an app that works properly? Or allow users to delete them? This doesn’t happen on Netflix! *didn’t even bother to address the issue with the continue Bingeing. They are clearly aware of the apps issues, but will not fix. Stan has 2000+ titles and Netflix 5500+ my point has been proven that there’s not much to watch given Binge only has 1000. I’ll put this in terms hopefully Binge can understand this time, your content is rubbish ie low quality and a waste of life watching. As you can see from their response they’ve not addressed any issues, just falsely accused me of illegally using a VPN. I do not engage in illegal activity and live in Australia so there would be no need to use a VPN. There are also times when no matter what you try, the content won’t load to play. Not my device nor internet, as I watched something on another streaming service immediately after. Please check other reviews as mine only echoes that all I have stated happens to others. Therefore these are ongoing issues not addressed by Binge. They respond to reviews therefore are aware. Not proving a service paid for is ILLEGAL and a breach of consumer law.

Hi Nat, BINGE has thousands of titles to watch, with selected content available in 4K (Depending on subscription tier and device compatibility). Make sure you have the latest version of BINGE and your OS installed, and are not using a VPN. If the app continues to drop out, reach out via the app support button for further assistance.

It’s good, but not great

I’ve been using Binge for the past six months. There’s a lot of content that I used to watch on another platform, but it didn’t have a native app. So I thought that Binge would be a better option. And it is, but only just.

The app on my AppleTV is very clunky. It’s also not the most user friendly. I am constantly overshooting where I want to go on the menu, because of the lag. This especially happens when my Bingelist option is all the way over on the other side of the options from Home. So I’m having to constantly go back and forth, then wait for the lag to catch up, then if I’m verrrry careful, I can finally get there. The other thing that happens is that watched shows stay on my list of things to watch. I’ve scrolled through and let it finish again, but it remains there on my list of things to finish watching. One final thing is the inability to download so I can watch offline. It’s something that my other services all have and it’s something lacking here, especially for the price.

I’ve read some of the other reviews here and a lot of my problems with the app are things that were brought up three years ago. If these things were fixed, Binge would be great. As it stands, I’m watching less on Binge and more on my other streaming services, because they’re easier to use. As it stands, Binge is okay…but not great.

Hi Jamie, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Are you able to plug your Apple TV into the modem via ethernet cable? This may help with your lagging issues. We'll pass on your feedback, if you have any other issues you'd like to discuss, please reach out via the app support button.
