UKTV Reviews 

The app often just drops out and the total number of absolutely rubbish advertising ie about 10 plus a plug for other shows compared with the channel 5 app that would probably only have 2 or 3 adds and even itvx only has about half of the advertising U has and does not matter how many times I complain nothing changes but on the plus side you can get through to a human on the phone

Way too many ads. 20 min program has about 30 ads or something. Also in the last 30 seconds of the show it just cuts to ads/next episode so you miss whatever is still happening.

Everyone mentions a large amount of content and I get Ads have their purpose, but the U app just turns your screen into a digital billboard.
When you do get past the Ads, you get to watch a few minutes of the show you intended to watch, but don’t try skipping back or forward! The app goes to load ADs then crashes, forcing you to start again.

Very poor user experience.

Positive - 1
-large content variety

Negative - 2 (and these will bug you to no end!!!!)
-8-9 adverts at a time (up to 30 sec long each).
-constantly skips to the next episode while watching bl**dy adverts.
So you end up first watching 3-4 adverts, app skips to the next . You try going back to original episode, you end watching another 5-8 adverts

they make it hard work having to sign in ,adds way too many i only watch motoring shows favourite being flipping bangers,fed having adult warning stopping programmes to chevk how old i am 74 keep telling them anyway had enough never again,fed up got account that means othing still having to go tp there web site sign in fed up its rubbish whoever rote the programme must be stupi

Well Christmas again and like every other year its 'on fools and horses' from dawn to dusk on U&Gold.
Its nice to see they are competing with ComedyCentral and 'Friends' for the most boring tv channel with lazy christmas time tv programming.

Maybe time to change people who plan these things, new year new job.....

Oh my god. Worse than Ch4 app. Had to watch 9 ads before start of show, for the programme to buffer and refresh and then I had to sit through the ads again. What a joke. Lesson learnt. Make sure to remember to record programme.

This streaming channel has some very good programmes, but is totally unwatchable because the the absolute saturation of adverts . . . often a batch of up to 9 adverts every few minutes. Plus endless 'adverts' sponsoring the channel, and endless trailers for other programmes on the channel. By far the very worst I've ever seen on any commercial channel be it 'live' or streaming. And no option to pay to go advert-free.

In addition, the U app is extremely unstable. Even with a state-of-the-art TV and superfast broadband, it frequently takes multiple attempts to load, often 'buffers' etc. etc.

As I say, unwatchable! If you want to watch something on the U app, record it or purchase the blu-ray/dvd!

Used to enjoy watching but now just takes the Mick with the number of adverts. Recently had TWO consecutive sets of 11 ads in the same break. I give up.

7 adverts 3 minutes into programme. Then ten minutes if show then another 5 adverts. It ruins the whole viewing experience. Why like can’t it offer the same as itvx. No advert subscription. I have NEVER bought anything purely from watching a TV advert for it so it’s a waste of time.

It's a shocker. Agree with all the other one star reviews. Very slow to load; frequently just "sticks" and says "refresh," which virtually never works; sometimes jumps back to the beginning without warning and/or, after an ad break, doesn't show the pictures; far too many ads. Such a shame - it has good programmes, but you need the patience of a saint to get to the end of one.

Every time there is an advert break the programme either jumps to the next episode or even 2 or 3 episodes ahead so you have to return to the home screen and start again and even then it repeats this cycle 2 or 3 times! Sometimes it can take 10 minutes to get back to where you were in the programme! Absolutely rubbish streaming service. Completely frustrating....

UKTV.UK (IPTV) firestick is a 21st Century absolute RUBBISH!!! Biggest scammers going like their other institutions...

Too many ads.It feels like I'm the product not the consumer 2-5 ads is fair enough but 12 irrelevant ads is a blatant cash grab at the expense of my time. My time has been monetized for profit and I don't even get a cut of the revenue MY TIME GENERATES

Can I give no stars? Worst TV experience ever. How in this day and technological age can they get it so spectacularly wrong? I’ve given up…

Good content with a very good selection, but totally ruined by all the CONSTANT ADVERTS! Far too many ads in one break, I wouldn't mind 2,3 or even 4 or 5 ads - but they go on and on and on...!!! You lose any fluidity, and so you lose interest.
Unfortunately the whole thing spoils your watching experience.
Don't bother, you'll just end up switching it off!

More adverts than programmes!
Also, keeps jumping on all devices - not just in our house but friends too. Other streaming platforms don't do this. Internet speed is really good so not this that's causing it. End up missing bits of the programmes regularly.
Also can't get all the channels on the tv to watch live - didn't have this problem until a few weeks ago.
We don't bother watching U anymore, despite there being some decent content, plenty of others out there.

The frequent interruptions with excessive adverts has left me incredibly frustrated at the loss of flow and momentum to the programmes I have wanted to watch. I'm giving up on this channel.

Ridiculous signing in process every time I want to watch it. Takes longer than watching a program!

I've been trying to watch programmes on U but the adds and after them i end up watching a different programme. app. is a total waisted effort
