To really hate the itvx app

38 replies

TwinklyFawn · 26/02/2025 14:47

Don't get me wrong. There is some good content on itvx. I just hate the app. When i want to watch a series from the beginning it thinks that i should be starting from the final series. If i do manage to watch a series from the beggining it thinks that i need to watch the last episode again. I can work every other streaming app easily..

i love it! It’s free. I can’t find any reason to get that upset with it

I'd love it if it was free. Lots of stuff is premium or becomes premium for a while.

YANBU. It’s badly designed.

If I try to go back because I got distracted, it insists on playing a block of ads. Sometimes I get a rude message saying “you seem to be trying to skip the ads, this is how we fund our services”. Sometimes I get three blocks of ads before the show starts again.

Like the content, hate the interface

There’s a way of skipping the adverts too

After the pre-programme ones, when the episode starts properly, fast forward to after the next ad break.
Then do it for the next ones and then back to the beginning

It’s a minute of faffing that saves watching all the crap

I just hate that it's so incredibly slow and clunky to load. We've been rewatching all of unforgotten and in the end gave up on itvx and watched it through Netflix

I really like it especially as they're showing drama and crime series from overseas. Have really enjoyed what I've watched so far.

I can put up with the clunkiness though to get such good programmes.

In my experience the channel 5 app is far worse. It crashes all the time mid program.

I find it almost impossible to you .. it’s clunky, and difficult to navigate

I am glad that it is not just me. I honestly thought that i was thick.

I find it the most difficult streaming app to use. Okay it is free to use if you don't mind adverts. However i just expect it to work better.

It often jumps back to the beginning of an episode which is really annoying

I find Disney does that sometimes too.
