Univision Now Reviews

by Jennyfer Torres

I was really exited that my favorite novelas were in here. Actually I didnt even mind that there was a couple ads throughout the episodes (5-6 ads per episode). But what really got annoying was when every time you pause on your episode, an ad apart from the 5-6 ads per episode will show. So every time you fix your aipod or pause for any reason, another dam ad. I have currently a glitch where the same ad will play 2x back to back. This is just so annoying, I really tried to not mind it in the beginning but this is just insane. If you want to watch about 20 ads per episode, UnivisionNow is for you. UnivisionNow is not fully developed because it still has glitches because when im finished with one episode, sometimes it wont play the next one so I have look for the Novela and scroll all the way down to click on the next episode I left off. And as many comments wherever you left off, the episode wont show in your home page, again you need to find the show,scroll down and find the episode you left off. Too many inconveniences for $11 subscription/ month.

I am very exited about some of the programming they have. But seriously their app is terrible no updates often you have very old tv shows that have been there for months. I am talking like Halloween movies when when are almost in Jan 2021.. Another terrible issue they have the Audio does not work properly you can see the lips moving but the audio is off from what they are saying. It’s frustrating that I pay for a subscription but they care less to listen to the consumer that is us.. I have removed UnivisionNow and reinstalled and nothing the issue still continues.. I hope they fix this for good!!

I can’t watch the shows I want at night, so I thought Univision has an app where I can catch up on current shows and also watch old one, great!!! So I downloaded it, this is my second day using it and honestly wan to delete it right away. There are way but way too many adds for an app that it’s not free, every 4 minutes it’s an add. You can’t concentrate on what your watching and it’s aggravating. Some of the telenovelas are really bad quality and they don’t even have full episodes, they are cut. Also they don’t have a big library of telenovelas which is why I mainly subscribed. I’m watching one now as soon as it’s over I’ll cancel. Honestly it’s not worth it paying $10 a month for something that has soooo many adds, that’s the main flaw. Feels like I’m just paying for adds. If they work on this and update their library I’ll consider joining again. Really don’t recommend.

Beside the fact that I need to pay for this service, ads are included, if I’m paying for a service like this, for example Netflix, I don’t want to see ads. Also, many times UnivisionNow freeze and is the only streaming app that freeze at that time. Since it doesn’t happen to other apps like Telemundo, it tells me that is your app. Even when I was getting Univision over the air, the signal was very bad. You need to improve UnivisionNow if you want to continue charging for the service. UnivisionNow has issues leveling the volume between programs and ads, you basically need to have your TV control all the time to lower the volume for ads and raise it again when program starts again. I don’t recommend it, they say charge for this service due to on-demand programs and movies, but the selection is very limited.

No trabaja adecuadamente, se desconecta todo el tiempo y cuando funciona se queda en un solo anuncio repitiéndolo una y otra vez. Necesita mucho mejoramiento. Me suscribí por el programa más económico de 2.99 que supuestamente por el período de prueba iba a poder ver todos los programas y no me dejo ver absolutamente nada, me tuve que suscribir al más caro de 7.99. Estoy todavía en el periodo de prueba pero sino mejora voy a cancelar la suscripción pues duro más tiempo tratando de que funcione que mirando los programas.

It doesn’t work properly, crashes all the time, sometimes stuck in one comercial and play it over and over again, I think it needs a lot of improvements. I have to sign up to the premium suscripción of 7.99 because the 2.99 even though says all access it didn’t let me watch anything at all. I am in the free week trial but I think I’m going to cancel it because I spend more time trying to get UnivisionNow to work good than watching anything.

They want you to make more accounts and pay the double. You CANNOT access your Mobile account through the Tv, as the Tv asks for a Cable account. There is no way of logging into the account online without having the Cable. That defeats the purpose of having a so called “accessible” application when you cannot log on to multiple devices. This is by far the worst application that prevents it being seen from multiple devices. Needs to be improved ASAP, it’s embarrassing for a large corporation to not even get an application right. Not worth the money.

App is very glitchy and will sometimes be stuck and show me ads in a continuous cycle until I have to close the episode and click on it again and quickly try to skip ahead to try and get the ads from continuously appearing in a never ending cycle. It’s really annoying. Also each episode has about 6 different times that it displays ads. Is this really necessary? I purchased the subscription because there is a novela that I really want to see but it comes out to late for me to see it on tv and I like the ability to watch it whenever I choose. UnivisionNow could be better if they didn’t show about 10 min of ads for a 42 minute show. It’s so annoying. Also fix the glitch. Do better!

I bought the monthly subscription to watch Teresa as they took it off from Netflix, and I was really excited to see that they also had destilando amor. Just those 2 made it worth the whooping $9.99 a month. I started streaming the novela right away with no issues during the first 10 minutes or so, but then Ads started playing every 5 minutes. It’s just really annoying that the catalog isn’t very extensive & that there’s not even an option to buy a “no Ad subscription”.
I think I’ll watch as much as I can this month, and then cancel it if nothing changes; which I can already tell it won’t, all the reviews complaint about this same issue.

by Tonyzac

Updated Review: I just cancelled UnivisionNow and deleted it from all my platforms. Tired of waiting for it to get fixed. The service went from $7.99 to $9.99 a month and they still run too many ads. And the ads themselves have technical issues, very often UnivisionNow shuts down after playing the ad. To make matters worse, UnivisionNow doesn’t keep track of what I watch. I usually have to scroll thru all episodes to find where I left off, every time I start UnivisionNow . They also took a series I was watching with no notice at all. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.
Update: Then I got a “developer’s response”, which is the same reply to everyone. It looks more like an automated reply. I insist, mediocre app, worst customer service. 😡

3 years ago someone wrote the exact issue I have with UnivisionNow (on roku) and apparently it has not been resolved. I will be finish watching the novela I’m currently watching and unsubscribing. It’s incredible how nothing has been updated. I have to remember what episode I left off on because it won’t remember where I left off. Some of these series have over 150 episodes and I have to scroll and “load more” like 10 times to get to where I’m at. The issue on the iOS app is that when an ad plays the screen goes black (with the audio still playing) and I cannot get the image back once the actual show is back on. It’s very frustrating.

UnivisionNow is really annoying. Univision advertises it like you have options and that’s the not the case. First of all- why do I have to watch the same annoying commercials over and over again if I’m paying for the service?? I pay for Netflix and never have to watch any commercials so I was expecting the same, unfortunately Second- my shows abruptly stop in the middle and a new random show just pops up and I’m constantly having to start all over again and fast forward to where I was watching only for my show to stop again. I don’t recommend this to anyone especially because Univision is well known for not taking the feedback seriously and work to make improvements.

by Pipo23

I’ve never written a review for anything, so to those that do it frequently I thank you.

With that said stay away from UnivisionNow and listen to the reviewers. Continuously its mentioned that paying a premium and having too many commercials is an insult as best.

When I read reviews claiming this, I assumed it can’t be that bad. Oh it is! It isn’t even regular commercials as the ones you receive watching this channel OTA (over the air). It’s embedded on top of the program you’re watching.

While the show is playing live you’ll get a commercial. The show doesn’t stop but you’ll miss a chunk of what’s going on, due to the commercial being played. This is on top of the regular commercials the show normally has. This is all done while paying for the service.

I wouldn’t mind paying and having the normal commercials for it. However as it is now, it’s not worth your time. Invest in some “rabbit ears” or purchase a streaming subscription from fuboTV, these are the only two viable options.

First off,you already paying for cable and they want you to pay extra. Sounds just like Univision charging for everything. Yeah your not in Mexico. This the reason you came up with raising money like when they want to help the needy people and here you come making all this concert to support all this people and really no one gets the help and trying to do the same with UnivisionNow corrupted like always. From one month to the other you change wish stuff is free even if they been free for a long time. That’s when you notice you have to charge now. Yeah that’s business, but people who is already paying for cable they shouldn’t pay extra. Cause already charging our carrier I’m sure that is slot. If could I won’t even give one star you don’t deserve any. 😡😡😡😡😡 can’t stand Univision I’m done with you and I hope people who is trying to get this don’t is not worth your time.

by Noname1415

When I purchased, I was under the impression that you could watch any show without any ADS (since you pay a monthly charge) and that was NOT the case. They charge around 11$ a month and on top of that you have to sit through around 8 ad breaks in between an episode. It makes no sense that you PAY and still have to watch annoying 30-45 second ADS (and they put around 3 per ad break). If it was a free service I’d understand, but this is ridiculous. Also, if you even exit UnivisionNow for whatever reason, upon return you have to sit through an ad break AGAIN.
Will be cancelling after my month ends.

I was excited when I first got UnivisionNow because I was able to watch the novelas that weren’t on Netflix. I gladly paid the $2.99 subscription fee & then a few weeks in I started getting commercials... no big deal I figured let me upgrade to the $7.99 subscription & that should stop.... Well nope they are just as bad!! For $7.99 I don’t feel that I should have to watch commercials. The most irritating part of the commercials is when I’m watching a show, just watched a commercial, I get a phone call or a text on my phone & then I have to watch another commercial!! What is up with that?

by Shy Time Swagg

I used to watch Univision now for my novelas without having to pay to watch. After you asked to update is showing that I have to pay to watch and is showing a lock on the screen, I would like to keep watching without having to pay for it. Now it shows Univision now on demand. Not too happy to see that now. Please help as I’m always watching this channel on my iPad and my phone. Please tell me what I need to do on my side, or what can you do on your side to unlock it?

by Lilzody

First of all there are to many adds And it’s annoying second of all what is the point of removing the novelas like just leave them sometimes I want to go and rewatch them and suddenly their gone and third of all they take too long to put a new episode in the novelas for example rn I’m watching “Quererlo todo” and It’s almost been 10 days since the last episode they added and Ik it’s not the end because it’s on tv and the last episode they put is 103 and on tv it’s in 120 please put the episodes faster.

I have had UnivisionNow for one year now and I have been extremely annoyed by the Univision contact people! When I am trying to trouble shoot and contact Univision I get an answer the next day! For instance a couple of months ago I was not able to see UnivisionNow because it just went blank and had to restart it and the password said it was incorrect! So I had to reissue another one! Right now I am in Mexico and one day I am watching my novelas and the next day it won’t connect just get a screen with the words NOW!

by RichDominguez

I really enjoy UnivisionNow. It does not have a commercial every 5-7 minutes like other apps. It saves the previously watched show that are incomplete. You can start watching at almost the exact spot you left off. Provides lots of telenovelas and shows on demand. You can also watch Univision & Telemundo live.
Big Negative: the commercials are too loud. I have to completely mute the commercials because they are way louder than the shows that are on demand.

Novelas in the past were more interesting. You need to entertain women and putting comedy and drug cartel is not interesting when you keep putting these two things on tv. I use to watch at least seven novelas but now I watch none, yes you heard it zero. Why because I got sick and tired of these same things. Novelas should be about pirates, Maybe about a prostitute who becomes a decent lady when she falls for a handsome guy. A poor girl falls for a rich guy who has his own company. Etc. Go back and look through some very old novelas and bring it back to the present.

Paying a monthly fee is one thing but having to see multiple ads while watching a show is ridiculous. What’s truly frustrating is that every time that the show is interrupted to get a call, message or just plain WiFi issue I have to see a set of ads again back to back. I spend more time watching ads than watching the shows. Save yourself the frustration. Absolutely not worth it. It’s too bad because there are lots of vintage shoes that I was looking forward to watch. I canceled my subscription. Fix the ads issue and may come back.

by Jandiboo

If I have to sit and listen to this stupid “chicanos por la causa” commercial one more time! I’m paying 7.99! An ad every once in a while, FINE, but you literally play them constantly and the same ones! If you’re watching from your phone, and god forbid you answer a text and return to UnivisionNow , it’ll okay a commercial. The same one every time! And that’s not all. Sometimes only 10 seconds later, it plays it agin! At least time your ads every 15-20 minutes if you HAVE to. Not just randomly and I consistently. And get different commercials! It’s not good advertising, just makes me hate chicanos por la causa and their annoying corny commercial.

by Mariaapaor

UnivisionNow doesn’t let me watch the shows, they might play for a few minutes then something pops and says that I can only watch Univision on three devices, when I only have it on my phone and my computer. I checked to make sure there was no other devices connected to my account and my phone is the only one there. This pop out message appears every 5 minutes, it’s getting to my nerves! Now it’s not letting me watch the episodes of a novela I like to watch. I sent an email to them long time ago and never responded back to me.... 🤨

I was excited to finally find an app that would have a lot of my favorite Spanish shows and novelas. I was okay with paying the monthly subscription fee to enjoy the service and despite all of the reviews I decided to give UnivisionNow a chance. It’s been about two weeks since I started using UnivisionNow so here’s my honest review. The first MAJOR inconvenience is the ads. I would understand if this was a FREE service but UnivisionNow is costing me money every month and I have to sit through some VERY ANNOYING 15-45 second ads. Yes I knew about the ads from reading other reviews and I just happen to agree that it’s very annoying. The second MAJOR inconvenience is just like others have said that UnivisionNow doesn’t keep record of where you were last watching. I was expecting UnivisionNow to work just like any other streaming service (like Netflix) where I can just turn it off and when I came back I could resume right where I left off. It doesn’t even tell you which episode you were last on it literally takes you to the beginning and you’re left with having to scroll through the list of episodes and then fast forwarding through the episode you were on just to get to where you were. I consider this to be a major flaw especially for something I am paying for. I will watch one novela and then cancel my membership until hopefully there is major improvements. I don’t want to continue to pay for a mediocre service.

As others have said, for an app I am paying for the ads are ridiculous. And if it were just the three ads per episode I would be fine, but every time you exit UnivisionNow for any reason the ads reset and replay before you can watch again. Additionally, the play, fast forward, and pause are so close to the status bar that you accidentally lose your place trying to pause the show. They need to be in the middle of the screen as in other streaming apps. This is not a cheap monthly fee and though the content is reasonable there needs to be some major changes to the accessibility of the shows as well as reduction in ads. I will watch the three, but don’t make me watch 9 or 10 ads if I can’t happen to watch a show for an hour without interruption.

by LovelyMariela

I love your novelas. So much that im paying for your app. But really disappointed because accidentally i fast forward on my novela and ads started playing before playing the part. Then i tried returning to were i was at and another ad would start and every time i thought i had found it and ad would come on. That’s very inconvenient and time consuming for me and im sure for other people too. It would really be a good app if I didn’t have to struggle so much. I just hope since we are paying for this for u guys to better it im sure you would have at least better review.

I love Univision and UniMas and I love some of your novelas (mainly the Brazilian Biblical epics and the Turkish dramas), but please update UnivisionNow with past shows! I’ve tried finding a Biblical epic (Jesus or Rey David) but it’s not there. Where’s all the other shows? Add more shows and make all the locked shows and episodes unlocked for people who have accessed UnivisionNow via cable or satellite provider! And update the player (I tap on ⏪ and it takes me to the picture quality controls). It’s getting annoying! So please fix UnivisionNow !

Me encanta Univision y UniMas y me encantan algunas de tus novelas (principalmente las novelas Brasileñas de la Biblia y los dramas Turcos), ¡pero actualiza la aplicación con shows que pasaron anteriormente! He intentado encontrar una novela bíblica (Jesús o Rey David) pero no están allí. ¿Dónde están todos los otros programas? Agregue más programas y ¡haga que todos los programas y episodios bloqueados sean desbloqueados para las que han accedido la aplicación a través de un proveedor de cable o satélite! Y actualicen el reproductor (toco el ⏪ y me lleva a los controles de calidad de imagen). ¡Se está volviendo molesto! ¡Así que arregla la aplicación!

by Sarajean615

There is literally an ad almost every 3-4 minutes on a 45 minutes show. It’s ridiculous. Then the Chase ad gets stuck on repeat and played 3 times in a row! All I wanted was access to all the classic Spanish soaps from my childhood. I’d be more than happy to pay more money than $2.99 a month from an AD FREE option. Please figure this out.

UnivisionNow is not too bad, although I agree UnivisionNow needs to have implemented some form of record keeping, so you can tune into what you were just watching before having to take a break.
P.S. I just want to add that I am very upset that Univision took away the opportunity for DishLatino customers to have access to the channel. I have been watching Univision my whole life, now to it suddenly being taken away from my TV server. Thanks a lot..
