truTV Reviews

FIRST Unable to validate content login error.
UPDATE ALLOWED ME TO AUTOMATICALLY LOG IN on home network, but crashes as soon as i click on a episode to watch. App is STILL worthless JUNK.
What did you do with all the money your mother gave you to hire a programer ?
Update.....sorry but what more details do you need? Your app crashes when I click on a episode to watch. truTV was updated and current. I have deleted truTV like so many other reviewers here, it is still junk
Update again......it is happening on my iphone and ipad pro both running most recent ios over wifi. My dog was sitting by my side wagging it’s tail. But these details are all available to your programer in their crash report log,but perhaps they would rather ask meaningless question then fix your app. It crashes, it is not working and it is not a isolated experience.

So I downloaded this to watch impractical jokers and Tacoma FD. I watch the first episode and noticed the commercials and thought ok that’s fine. Then I started noticing that the commercials were getting longer until halfway through the second episode I got one that 10 minutes long! It has the little countdown thing in the top left corner and it said 600 seconds and during that it repeated commercials! I’m ok with a few commercials here and there. They gotta make money somehow but 10 minutes???? No thank you!

So when i got truTV a few days ago it didnt work at all and didn't let me sign in with spectrum but with the latest update i can. However, the update gave me another problem just as bad. It let me watch one episode of impractical jokers and that was it. I tried resetting my phone, my wifi, and nothing worked. Whenever I click on the episode it just freezes my screen for a second then forces me to my home screen. Please fix this cause at the moment I can't really watch anything

Most people only got truTV to watch impractical jokers and now they took off 6 of the seasons for no reason. There was no need and most people only got truTV for the show. Put all the season back truTV that’s trash now. If they add all the seasons back they will have a good rating. They should add all the seasons back because there is no reason at all to why they took them off. Most of the shows are bad and without all the seasons of impractical jokers I feel sad lonely and wanna do hurtful things to myself

Can’t start episode from the beginning on TVos. Since the player is embedded, I can’t do anything. When I finish watching an episode, the time mark of 5 seconds before the video is recorded. So when I want to watch the episode again, it sends me to the last five seconds of the video. Tried deleting truTV and logging in again and the time mark is still there. So I guess you can only watch videos once in truTV . I guess I should just ditch cable at this point. If the cable channels can’t provide a stable app, why should I pay for it!

I downloaded truTV about a month ago. It worked great then it started signing my tv provider out. I tried to re-sign in and I would get an error message. So I’d have to reinstall every few days to use truTV . The latest about fixed that issue but now it crashes when I try to load episodes. I’ve tried three different series and truTV just shuts down after I select a video. Plz fix this! I love the content and would like to be able to access it.

truTV is complete trash. There is no video within screen feature meaning you MUST stay on the video - no multitasking allowed! Seriously, this is later than 2015, who is truTV meant for? 70 year olds who don’t text? All snideness aside, they force ads on you in the middle of game time, missed extremely important moments of my show. What the heck even is this app??? If this is a subsidiary to TNT, they need to merge this pathetic excuse for a media provider and de-brand completely! But I’m guessing TNT doesn’t want to be associate with this garbage and further sully their reputation. DO BETTER!

I have an iPhone, I believe it is a 7s. The this app app crashes a lot. Several times per episode of Adams ruins everything. Problem only happens with truTV . Doesn’t happen with other apps

Actually, “crash” is the wrong word. The tv stops showing the video and shows the this app logo. In order to get things working again, I have to stop casting and restart truTV , and start the program from the beginning.

What I believe is happening is that the video is playing faster than it can download. When it gets to the end of what it has downloaded, it crashes. If I pause the video first and wait a few minutes, I can avoid the problem. Still a royal pain.

Just like their terrible website that does not work on most devices, regardless of speed or network capability, even truTV does not stream correctly.

I downloaded both apps, this is the only such cable app btw that requires you to then download a mobile app to stream, rather than just working through the downloaded app...and it continues to advise that the cast could not be completed.

Didn’t expect this to work given the ridiculously outdated tech capabilities that have become synonymous with this app and I was disappointed to not be disappointed...is that a thing? In this app world, where nothing makes sense or works as it should, sure it is.

I like the way truTV is payed out, but that only gets you so far when every time i play a full episode of a show it won’t load the ads. As in i can’t watch past the first seven minutes of the show because no ads will load, and i can just put the time marker past the ads. I really don’t mind watching ads, i just want to be able to actually watch an episode of something for more then 5 or 7 minutes!! I’m very frustrated.

The interface is good, however truTV is pretty useless since the full content hardly ever loads. It’s either sound with a frozen screen or sound with a grey screen and no picture. When it does work it’s very slow. Perhaps it’s my service but no other apps have this problem and I’m at full strength LTE. I’ll update this review when my WiFi is fixed if that ends up helping, but for now I might as well not even open truTV . Bummer.

If you close out of truTV and re-open it, it won’t hold your place from where you left off last night. You have to start the whole episode from the beginning. Sometimes the commercial breaks will play two, three times in a row, the same commercials over and over again. And if you rewind too far you have to watch the commercials again even if you already watched them. It’s just a bit flawed.

Also I’m really annoyed because two days ago all of the episodes were available for I’m Sorry, season two, and today only the first three episodes are there! So I can’t even watch from where I left off.

I love this app and its programming, so I was thrilled when I learned about truTV where I can watch all of my favorite shows on the go. truTV is pretty good, and the user interface seems to be improving from other reviews I’ve read, but it’s a little clunky and error prone.

Loading around ads is sometimes problematic, and causes lag while watching shows.

truTV apparently lacks a way to bookmark your favorite shows, and offers no ability to keep track of what you’ve watched, or where you might be if you stop in the middle of an episode.

Lastly, there’s no way to save content for offline viewing (like Netflix has for some shows) which is helpful for commuters.

All in all good app and I’m sure it will continue to improve.

Hey so I went in but you don’t have all the seasons with all the episodes. Though what u do have is season 1 that goes straight away to episode 10 or 12 I don’t remember though. Also, it is locked don’t understand that and how to unlock, but I’ll find a way. Also, I have a suggestion if you guys could maybe don’t put the locks because if you want more and more people to watch then take off the lock and then more and more people can focus on just watching instead of focusing on trying to unlock the episodes. (I’m not begging you and I want u to know that you don’t have to do it because I’m not saying I’m better just saying maybe if you want and I know that u worked hard on this so if you don’t want to use my suggestion that’s fine).

First I downloaded truTV because on instagram the Impractical Jokers said that their episodes were free for a limited time. When I downloaded truTV it took me nearly 10 minutes to get into truTV because it kept crashing. Then I finally got into truTV and I tried to watch Impractical Jokers and the screen was black. I don’t know if that has anything to do with me not being logged in but needs work.

Is there a way to pay out of these ads? Although I have to commend the fact that your ads at least stream in HD which tbh I don’t know why some tv cable apps still struggle to do. On a different note, I really do like the Adam Ruins Everything series and the content is hilarious. Repeat: I hate ads :( let me give you money to stop them

I never watch this station on TV. Why would I when truTV provides an unparalleled second-screen experience that makes me feel blessed to have an unlimited data plan? Excellent look and feel and even better technical quality. The gold standard for third-rate cable channels.

I have an iPhone and iPad and it works flawlessly. I can’t believe you guys borrowed money from your mom to hire a programmer . That’s all he must’ve did was programming in his own mothers basement his whole life because my this app app has never crashed . I’m so happy with it I’d kiss that myicepod guy that is using dial-up internet with a 56k modem !

by Chisai66

This is a this app show that plays in the tv channel, but unfortunately I can’t find it on the this app app, at all. Since it’s my favorite comedy show (must be other people’s favorites too since 16 seasons have been made), I’d really like to be able to watch it anywhere I go on truTV . Why don’t you offer it on the this app app???

by O-Dog Dawson

Best single service app, as we all know we’ll only be streaming impractical jokers on this thing. Great for its purpose, only complaint is that there are other shows that distracts from the useable feature of truTV, the show impractical jokers

by Treevis

In the tvOS version of app, the episodes for a show are in reverse order (10, 9, 8, etc). This means that the “Up Next” video is the previous in the season, not next. You can’t let truTV auto advance to the next episode because it would be an episode you’ve already seen. Fixing this would make truTV great.
