Stan‪.‬ 4+

The content on this service is really good, it makes living in Australia a bit better so we can watch some of those shows that Netflix doesn’t want to supply for us.
However, reading other people’s reviews I have to agree with them - the sound cutting out is easily the most annoying thing aBout this app. At first I just thought it was something wrong with my phone, or the program I was watching but after using different headphones and different devices, it happens with everything. I’ve also found subtitles going out of sync and not fixing themselves, and only as I was rewinding the episodes to try and get it back in order I realised the subtitles were out was because it skipped a whole section of the show!
I would also like to see a rating service for the shows and reviews etc to help with making decisions on what to watch

I love the content on Stan and enjoy the general look of it too but it would be helpful if you added a few thing and did some touch up work on the rest. One thing I suggest is if you made a way to request movies and tv shows either in the app or attach a link in the setting the can take us to a place we can request new content. Second, it would be greatly appreciated if you could please have some more personal touches to individual profiles such as better profile images or personal 4 digit passwords or even being able to shoes between a dark theme or a light theme. Another thing is the slightly inconvenient way you have to go about things if you want to change up your profile, if that could be made easier with better access it would certain help the app run smoother. Also I feel I’m not really getting content that’s relevant to me and as such it takes awhile to find shows I actually enjoy, don’t get me wrong I know there are plenty of shows I do enjoy on there but the fact of the matter is that it’s often hard to find them. Last but not least, shows won’t play if my mobile device is connected to a HDMY, in fact it won’t even load. This is really annoying when your staying in a motel and brought along your HDMY cable in hopes to be able to watch your favourite films on the tv instead of your phone. Thanks for everything else

Signing up to this can be done pretty much from anything with a screen, no problem with that. But if you wanna cancel your service, you need to specifically use a PC or Mac, because it can has to be done through their website (with apps not having a cancel option) and only their browsers are compatible. Once you’re there, you’ll have to click a number of dialogue boxes, asking twice if you’re sure to cancel, and a final time offering you to downgrade to a service with fewer features just to try and keep you on board. Then if you’re finally able to unsubscribe, there’s a huge banner on top of your screen with a large Reactivate button that will resume your service with just a single click.

To get 4K, you need to have the highest available plan at $21 a month, while other streaming services give you the same quality at just the standard subscription. And Stan Sport requires you to have the streaming as well, so $10 a month plus whatever plan you’re in.

The service just happens to be too greedy and underhanded they almost want you not to be able to complete the cancellation. It’s so easy to subscribe, but difficult and tricky to stop it. They seem to want to get away with a few monthly charges before some members figure out how to unsubscribe. Shame!
