Court TV Reviews

by Scafuri27

This is the worst Firestick App ever. When you stop watching an episode, you can’t pick up where you left off. When you fast forward, it stops after a few minutes and shows three ads, then starts over. You can not stop the application from fast forwarding once the three ads play. If you do not finish an episode you have to start it over from the beginning.

The ads also freeze and the screen goes black. When you try to fast forward is also gets stuck on the fast forward button, fast forwarding all the way to the end. Horrible app with a bunch of glitches on it. Completely useless.

Vinnie Politan reminds me of the comedian Thomas Haden Church when he played the journalist or newsman on “what about Steve” with Sandra Bullock. Or when church played Lyle in George of the Jungle.” Does he have any common sense - his coverage is horrible - next to the other guy ... then you the black male journalist! Whose name is not listed as part of the talent on CourtTV amd it should be!! Out of the three guys - He is the only guy with any talent on that coverage. He is top notch - I’d much rather hear him talk then the other two guys. He needs to be take Vinnie’s place. Also ——
When Vinnie. repeats parts of words- like “Th-The ......” or “Ah-Ahh ... I ...”- just weird. Sounds kind-of rhetorical - like he’s making fun of a disabled person or something - He has incongruent facial expressions at times too - like a big smile while talking about a man being murdered ... infuriating! And what is he doing with his hands - does he plan on taking flight or something? Makes me want to puke!!!!! The stupid questions he asks Janet Janae ——
I honestly don’t know how Janet Janae can keep a straight face - I’ll bet she’s tempted to roll her eyes at times when working with Vinnie.
Howard is just as bad - talks like he has marbles in his mouth - expressionless face - he looks kind of like Chauvin when put right in front of Chauvin’s big picture on camera.

I really like the content of CourtTV , but the functionality is severely lacking. Not having a search function is crazy. There’s no way to pick up where you left off watching a video and nothing marking that you’ve already watched a certain clip. There’s no playlist/save function so you have to manually scroll to find the right content and pick up where you left off every single time. This is also the only app I’ve ever had where if I’m casting to the TV, I have to actually leave CourtTV screen open or it will close on the TV (every other streaming service that lets you cast works with CourtTV in the background). I really hope some of this is addressed because it would be a great app with just the most basic functions added.

I became addicted to Court TV years ago during trials like Ray Carruth and Scott Petterson. Cases the majority of the people were familiar with and definitely wanted to know the outcome! I know every case is important, but they’re just not all interesting. You need cases like little Cupcake’s out of Alabama, the lady from Texas who was obsessed with her ex boyfriend and ordered the hit on his new girlfriend. We want to SEE what happens in little Cupcake’s trial and we want to SEE justice being served!!! I used to be glued to my TV when Court TV came on! I remember during the Rae Carruth trial, our boss actually let us keep the TV on at work, because we had cable and could keep the trial on all day! Please bring more exciting trials back to Court TV and I will definitely come back!

I absolutely love the court TV app! Watching the old trials is very interesting. A couple things need to be upgraded though. CourtTV needs a resume button or a button to show the history so you can pick up where you left off. If you accidentally bump your phone and leave the segment you’re watching you have to begin at the beginning and scroll forward watching several ads to return to where you previously were. It would also be a great benefit to have a skip forward button. There is an option to rewind a few seconds but nothing to move forward.

I absolutely love this app!! Was so happy to hear it was coming back on air in May!! However I am very disappointed that it is not on Dish TV!! I have requested it to no avail!! Also I would have given you 5 stars however the reception on CourtTV is bad as well as on line! It stops and starts about every couple of seconds mostly!! It freezes a lot too. At times it is good. But most of the time it is not.. I have been told y’all were aware and working on it. But it’s still not working right.. What is taking so long?? I get frustrated and don’t even wanna watch it at times!
I very much want this app to prosper and have these issues fixed!! I waited a long time to get to see this app once again, finally!!! Please resolve these issues so I can enjoy my favorite program once again!! I love this app so much!!! I sooo want to enjoy watching it again like when it was on TV; but now online... please help!!! I’m sure I’m not the only one too.. please reassure me it will be fixed soon!!!

Thank you for reading this! Much success to my this app!!!!! The best TV program on!!!

Director/graphics
Please put more specific info on the banner at bottom of the screen. If you’re not specific, a viewer just tuning in won’t know which attorney (Prosecutor or defense) is questioning which witness unless you tell them. Also Include if it’s direct/redirect or cross examination etc

For instance,
“Prosecutor’s direct(redirect) of coroner (and witness’ relevance)”
Instead of,
“Witness testifies about the murder”

And leave it up there! Don’t replace it with the general trial title after a few seconds. We generally know what the trial name is or at least what it’s about. Or leave it in the smaller black background at top left. You guys can be more creative and informative and less redundant if you just thought about it for a second you would keep more viewers I think.
ALSO
PLEASE REMOVE THE BANNER ALTOGETHER WHEN YOURE SHOWING A VIDEO. the banner takes up a good 25% of the screen and often times obscures the most relevant part of the image were supposed to see…. then when the video is over put your gigantic obtrusive banner back up there.
- just saying

I’ve been a fan of Court TV from the beginning. Have watched numerous trials from beginning to end. Just wish it was still on regular tv. Love Vinny Politan! Now with the George Floyd trial of policeman Derek Chauvin, I can see in the days, possibly weeks to come, my days will be filled once again and my work will suffer. Thank you all for the hard work and reporting!!

by Frustrated-boy

Can someone help me, I am wondering if the only verdict on this piece of work lady is murder? Will the jury be able to charge her with manslaughter or negligent homicide?
Watching her fake cry not a tear was shed and once again everything was all about her.
And how is that piece of crap boyfriend of hers still employed with the police force. Sits on the
Stand and commits perjury then they both delete all their sexting messages and nude pics. I am sure his wife is sure proud of her man..

by K9mama27

I am so thankful for CourtTV! And extremely excited! I love trails and haven’t seen a good one since Jodi Arias. Lol! When I googled the most recent national case and saw I could watch on this app I was giddy with happiness to be able to see every moment of it. CourtTV works fantastic even off WiFi and I have it on with headphones no matter where I’m at. :) Thank you this app for helping me be that fly on the wall! ;)

by Prisz

I am so glad you are back! I work from home and love listening to all your juicy trials! I live in a Santa Barbara, CA and our looser cox cable does not have access to court tv..:: hence my beloved smart phone. Only thought is my smart phone... with app... when I put on streaming.:: a lot of times it says we’ll be back. Does court tv now on 24 hours a day? If so streaming mode only works sometimes. Love u!!! Thank you!!!

Always watched Court TV when on HLN Network.. Was so disappointed when taken off air! Recently discovered back to being televised when on vacation in Gulf Shores, But found out when returned home that our tv network (AT&T Uverse) doesn’t carry.... Immediately downloaded Court TV App... Exceptional coverage! So HAPPY to see Vinnie Politan back... Love the discussions and the different panel of professionals that is on to talk about the trials.... Great content! Definitely a favorite and will continue to watch!! Please continue Court TV being televised and livestreams!!!!

I am proud of Isabella Sicora, she held her own today. I know how she feels. I was raped myself and I abused medicine to push the pain as deep down as I possibly could. It didn’t help and it never goes away. I’m sorry but Harvey and the guys that worked with him need to be called in and put on the stand. They may not of committed this disgusting act they let it happen and went right along with him. They should be changed with something. If he gets off I will loose some faith in our justice system. I hope he gets what he deserves. All the woman he has done this to will never get the image out of their heads. He’s 63 years old life in prison for him isn’t even enough time with his age. I do believe if he doesn’t get locked up. He will do it as many more times as he can. I hope this jury can see the bigger picture here. Everyone knows he’s guilty. So sad woman have to go through these things. Unless you are ever in this position you can’t understand how your body just freezes up and your scared because if they will do that to you. They are capable of anything. Thanks Gwyn Cirak!!

CourtTVprovides unique insight to the judicial process for its viewers across America. Looking at cases professionally without bias and offering unparalleled commentary I find KORTV to be a resource for my students in the street and practical law classes that I teach. Court TV offers by students do unique ability to witness trials in many states taken frequentlyFrom front pages of newspapers and the electronic media. The editing of episodes and documentaries is superb. I highly recommend port TV for fellow educators and students of the law and judicial decision making.

Having the opportunity to observe many of the fundamentals of the legal system and testimony of the many witnesses on many different types of cases is very interesting and eye opening in relating to the amount of time and depth of investigation involved in many different types of cases. Also the observations provided by Court TV moderators and legal consultants and judges is very valuable getting the opportunity to view many different legal opinions and depth of research involved in legal cases. Helps to gain knowledge from behind the scenes of how our legal system works.

by Donna Mylar

I watch this app quite a bit. I’ve learned so much about how the Justice system works, and sadly, just how ruthless mankind can be. I’ve had no run-ins with the law, so I really had no idea about those types of legal details. this app teaches me things a lot of us have no knowledge about. I would never call their content “Entertainment”, and doubt the cast would want to be categorized as such. It is, however, “reality”, and knowledge is power. In addition, the regular network channels, nor the cable channels for that matter, have anything to offer, in my opinion. Thank you this app for offering what no one else can, or will.

by Ninadmba

Why why why doesn’t court tv app work on fire tv anymore? It’s the only reason I bought them. Very very disappointing. I’ve written before and got the canned stock answer “we are aware and working on it”. I’m almost out of patience. If you don’t offer an app that works it’s ok -just take it away so we don’t know to keep checking it for operability. I really enjoy the trials on demand but now I can’t really enjoy them unless I use my phone. Not exactly Court “TV” then. More like Court phone screen :/
I hate to complain. But seriously you guys have to fix this. Or, please take CourtTV off the air. Thank you!
Nina

This below is from the first time I saw you were back on the air. Now I’m not so happy :/

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing Court TV back to the air...! I can’t tell you how happy this makes me and so many of my friends. All the talent is so incredible and Vinny! Yes Vinny is back ! That’s one of the highlights for sure... best from Williamsburg VA 😘😘😘Nina D

I’ve Been lost without Court TV for the last few years. Way Too long !! I just found out it was on again & I am so ecstatic !! I started watching sometime in 1996 when my Husband was going to law school (patent law) & I was immediately hooked ! It’s so nice to have Court TV back !! & It’s nice to have good tv programming on during the day, (instead of just talk shows), where you can actually learn & watch something constructive. Viewers learn more about ;
The Laws (in our own state & other states across the country), Our criminal justice system & how it works, & watch & learn about current stories & trials across the country. Viewers finally get the chance (again) to see the entire trials for themselves, hear & view all witnesses,etc. (everything the jurors do) & decide the case for themselves. It’s invaluable, and I believe our right as citizens to be able to watch any trial & judge for ourselves. I think every courtroom in America should allow cameras, and I’m so glad Court Tv is back. Yea !!
( & Welcome Back Vinnie - so glad to see you & so many other recognizable faces !! ).

Sincerely,
Shannon Fitzsimmons

I just want to say that I’m so so so happy that court Tv is back on I really missed it and could never figure out why it even left cable. All I can say is I’m very glad that the program is back on!!! I had to do a few things to get the channel but I did it on my bedroom Tv and then I wanted it on my living room Tv and just today I went and purchased a TV antenna. For the other Television now I have it on both I watched the entire Trial of Amber Guyger and was crying right along with everybody else, can’t wait for the next Trial I also looked at the one last week about the corn Rake killer that killed his wife with that was also good he got what he deserved!!!! Just wanted to let the programming no how much I Appreciate that it’s back on.

I am happy with the verdict! She was so young, sensitive, naive, and scared to tell her parents. I think all parents out there need to take a look at what happened to this young woman who has been warned by her mother that she could not go to college if she made bad choices. I believe the mother instills fear for her choices to the point that Skylar was so scared that she tried to hide it to avoid going to her parents. She new they would be furious. I think the Mother expected perfection that really affected Skylar’s decision to not tell her parents out of extreme fear. She was living up to being so perfect for her parent’s love that she tried to hide it. The mother needs to go to therapy in order to better parent and know how to gain her daughter’s trust to share her problems with her parents in the future. She wants her Mother and Father’s affection and approval SO bad. I believe that by the mother telling Skylar she needs to loose weight is part of the problem. I suspect the mother was harsh on Skylar. I wish Skylar to have a bright future.

I just downloaded this and see the last trial had a verdict in the death penalty phase that I am anxious to see, and the only thing that happens when you try to play this video is a server error that it can’t reach the video to play. This verdict was a few hours ago, and it hasn’t been fixed still? This is a pretty important update, and if this is the welcome mat Court TV is setting out for new users of CourtTV , I don’t have much confidence in the performance for the rest of CourtTV going forward from this point. I guess I have to find another news source to see what Court TV is saying about Court TV news!?!

by FANFANFANFROMDAY1

Though I love this app, and CourtTV .
CourtTV has less info then going to this app. Com. I would think it should be the other way around.
Trying to search for Contact info, or cases is not easy. Furthermore, when I submit a comment, the option for reason for contact is very limited; and when I submit, a pop up states it was received and an email confirmation sent, yet I never receive one. I have contacted someone about this before, but still not fixed.
5 star rating is really for this app itself, CourtTV should have been rated b/t 2-3.

by Melbabusseygrant

Love Court TV OMG!!!
my only negative is that when you have court lovers such as myself we need you to put more trials on demand and not the ones of people like OJ and Cosby we all know the outcome of those cases...also stop putting the main points in the title it spoils it for us that watch Court Tv as it’s a mystery movie! Well now you know how invested I am LOL so please make a few changes for a loyal fan..❤️

by Wen-Gorney

After a few years of not having this app (the only tv show I watch), I am beyond excited to now have CourtTV ! CourtTV is exceptionally convenient when I am doing chores around the house (I can listen while I work). If I miss anything, you just log back in and it’s all there!
Highly recommend CourtTV! Thank you!

by Chelle4747

I have fallen in Love with court TV. BUT I can not watch with the 2 new cases after Amber Guyger..... you held on to her case way too long, without anything new. Now that you have new cases, they are both, way to confusing to even follow! I guess I will just keep checking until these are done... soooo frustrating and disappointing

by Kati59

The hug from Mr. Jean to the person who killed his brother should be remembered for what it was/is-the beginning of the healing process for him-its not about Amber. He requested that hug, not her. I would hope that she could take as much away from it as he did. What a remarkable young man. We should all learn about forgiveness and love from this young man. Well done.

by Charmed32

I am definitely a true crime buff, the ID Channel is one of my favorites, but recently stuck in the due to a hurricane where I live in Florida, I was looking for something new to watch on my Roku and stumbled across The Court TV Channel, then I downloaded CourtTV on my phone. I’m literally HOOKED. It is the absolute best. If you’re into trials and true crime 😀

by Ibegigi

I am so happy Court TV is back! Especially love that Vinnie Politan is included as he is a great commentator. What I don’t like about the show is the terribly long and frequent “breaks” as a viewer sees more of those then the actual trial. It is hoped that this flaw in programming will quickly be corrected so fans like me can continue to watch a great program.

by Starla Safarie

I love this app and have missed it. I have only been using CourtTV for 20 min and love the live streaming. As far as I can tell you don’t have to have a subscription with is awesome!! That is how it is supposed to be. Free access to free information. Love CourtTV and will continue to use it daily.
