Globoplay: Novelas, séries e ‪+‬ 12+

The app was running ok for a little bit, but now...

I have been using the app for a little over 2 weeks it was working great, streaming, but now it is not loading properly. I tried on the WiFi and cellular mode and nothing. Is really bad I loads 5 second and then stops. At times is loads with just the audio but the video remains frozen. I don’t think is worth the price I am paying with all theses bugs in it.

Good content, bad app

I use Globoplay to watch caminho das indias. I was very excited about the content offered on globoplay as there are a lot of old soap operas (where is America though??) that I wouldn’t find anywhere else. I was a bit taken back by the price — 14 US dollars is 74 reais, who would pay for this in Brazil??? But I chalked it up to globo just trying to be shady and charge the same amount of reais and dollars without any consideration for currency values. But I was real disappointed when I started using the app. I watch a few episodes or capítulos a day and once the first one is over and the second starts playing automatically I lose all control over it — I can’t pause it in the app or rewind or anything. I also can’t exit it because the app doesn’t register that a new episode started playing so if I exit and try to go back it puts me back on the first episode I watched that day. It’s a mess. Sometimes it also plays the wrong episode when I click on them. That’s what prompted me today to write this review; it took me 15 minutes to get the episode I wanted playing on my tv because everytime I “casted” it from my phone to my Chromecast it started playing an old episode instead of the one I chose. For 75 reais a month this is unacceptable!!!

Disappointing and nerve-racking

Really unstable app, presents “technical difficulties” frequently, the home page is not constant, sometimes it offers you the option to continue watching your shows sometimes it doesn’t, doesn’t have a button on the screen while you’re watching a show to fast forward or backward a few seconds, so you have to double tap the screen several times if you want to skip a minute or so; the only option of subtitle is Portuguese and the audio is only either the original or portuguese, sometimes the original audio bugs and you can’t hear a thing, forcing you to watch it in portuguese; and last: while all the others streaming apps allow you to leave the app and keep on watching your video on a smaller screen on your phone while you do basically anything else on your phone, the globoplay app hasn’t still catch up on that, which is quite annoying
