Kayo Sports 12+

The app keeps freezing and then jumping back 10 seconds every 5 minutes or so. I first noticed this a couple of months ago and I assumed it would get fixed pretty quickly. It has now gone on for too long and is simply annoying. This all is happening whilst you raise the price of your subscription service…. It doesn’t matter what device I am using or the sport I am watching the app just keeps freezing and rewinding. This should be your number one priority to fix. You charge everyone high rates to watch live sport but by the end of a game of footy I am 5 minutes behind the live timer because of how many rewinds they app has done. Also if you are on an iPhone and jump out of the app but then jump back into the app the app will freeze and then crash. This means you need to reload the app and find the sport you were just watching even though you jumped out of the app for 2 seconds to reply to a text. Your app has a lot of bugs and you need to fix it. Cheers

***Update *** since making this review this issue has been fixed.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Please ensure you have the latest TVOS installed, and latest version of Kayo on your Apple TV. A new update is out shortly, so keep an eye on that one too.

You can also use Picture in Picture whilst on your phone or tablet if you use the web browser, and that way reply to texts or perform other tasks. We will pass on your feedback, all the best.

DO NOT SIGN UP THROUGH APPLE!!!! You will subscribe through the App and start an Apple subscription and Kayo will then sign you up again (under the guise of checking ID) and you will end up getting charged twice and they will say it was a forgotten subscription and not refund you. I’m out of pocket $300 as of 6months a go. Kayo this is not a forgotten subscription this is a double charge in Error!! You should be ashamed! Department of Fair Trading is now being sought after 6 months of me trying to resolve this with you. Apple should not offer an app which is blatantly ripping off Apple customers. I understand your position on why you cannot refund me directly because you have already passed on the money to Kayo, but more should be done to stop other Apple customers getting out of pocket! When the developer review says to get in touch vi email... I have tried about three or four seperate occasions to contact support and after about a dozen emails I still get no where. How about your support team contacts me for a change, as I have tried via email to resolve a number of times and there is no phone number to talk to someone and explain the situation. I have just had my ticket closed on me without a response, after sending yet another email, I am a fool for thinking the dev review asked me to get back in touch would go anyway. Worst customer service ever!

Hey LukassRaDo, this shouldn't be happening. Can you please contact us via this link https://help.kayosports.com.au/s/contactsupport so we can get to the bottom of this for you.

Kayo (aka Foxtel subsidiary) always freezes during the footy and the cricket! I feel like throwing my remote through the tv screen because Kayo is so unreliable and over priced. I have a few friends who had Kayo in the past too and left because of these issues. It seems to happen every year. I rejoin with the hope that it will get fixed, but no matter how many updates etc, it continues to happen. Maybe Foxtel control it to get you to go with them, I don’t know. I need to watch the footy without this unreliable Kayo service. Maybe I’ll just have to watch free to air tv, because it feels like Kayo only exists to get people to pay more for Foxtel. Considering how much Kayo charge, this service is very bad. It should cost under $10 to pay for all the freezes and complete disappearing programs year after year. Kayo don’t care and I found out they are the same company as Foxtel, so both charge an arm and a leg for this poor service. I have done all the recommended steps mentioned by Kayo, including the standard responses to these reviews. I don’t have any issues with other TV apps. I would like Kayo to fix this app, but I know they won’t because they want everyone to spend more than twice the amount to get Foxtel!

Hi James, please ensure you have the latest version of Kayo and your OS installed, and are not using a VPN. Restart your device and modem, and if the issue persists, reach out via the app support button for further assistance.
