BritBox: Brilliant British TV

Content is great however the app is clunky, watching series sees episodes either skipped or gone back to the previous. Needs much improvement

Good luck trying to download any programs from Britbox. The selection is fine if you want to watch them immediately on a home television but impossible to download on any device. Spent ages trying to sort this out online with them and the problem is still not solved. Can download programs easily off Netflix, Prime and Paramount so it’s definitely a Britbox issue.

From solitaire to the stock market this app is the worst one on my phone 1/10

This review is for the app., not the content. Slow, clunky and resource hungry. Requires about 4GB of free space to download a 700MB episode. This is not an issue I have on other apps. I fly a lot, so I rely on downloads a fair bit. The end result is that I use one of the other apps instead. If I struggle to download stuff, there really is no point having it. As an example, I just tried downloading an episode of a series I’m watching on BritBox and was denied due to lack of space (episode was about 680MB which is a bit excessive but shouldn’t have mattered). I then went to Disney and downloaded 7 episodes of a couple of shows (totalling about 2GB) and still haven’t reached my limit of free space! Edit I wrote the above perhaps a year ago, maybe more. Things have not improved. In actual fact they have got worse. I can no longer download any content at all (most up to date version installed). The little circle that should fill does not move at all. Even after half an hour, nothing. This is the most horrendous streaming app. known to mankind. Edit After a few months of not being able to download, that side of things is now resolved. Unfortunately the app is still garbage. Constant closing and reopening of the app is required. Then because of that, it’s forgotten where you were up to and will send you back to the start - it shouldn’t, but that’s what it does. On top of that, it’s lost the ability to cast to my tv. Words cannot describe how truly awful this app is. Edit. A few more months down the track and nothing has improved. I have to reboot my iPad just to download anything. Still one of the clunkiest apps around. Downloading is a mission, never remembers where you were up to. Barely functional.

Can not watch a thing it stops starts stops lags for ages ive reinstalled it and same thing happens. def not worth signing up for so frustrating. ERROR CODE UNKNOWN 😡 After contacting britbox ive decided to Cancel my subscription not paying for a service that never works. Id like this month refunded.!
