WWE Reviews

This is my third rating to give WWE since the update. I just re-updated WWE this morning and still no success. They are making WWE uneasy for us that’s visually impaired to work with since the update. I miss the old lay out to where it was easy. I guess Vince McMahon and the this app doesn’t care about their customers. It seems like all they want is money. Now! If they can fix the lay out the way it was which I know it’s not going to go back, yes I will return. If not, I am taking my business somewhere else. But other than that, I can read the news so I will keep WWE for that. As far as the network goes, no thanks until you fix it. So you guys went from a five star which I wrote last year down to a one star. The update for the network is bad, bad, bad. For those with site that can appreciate it, congratulations. I had to unsubscribe yesterday because I couldn’t take it anymore. When you tried to close the certain video, it won’t close out. You have to close WWE in order to watch something else. I really wish they had a special this app app for the visually impaired since they are not going to update this properly. For my fellow visually impaired folks that’s having issues or trouble with WWE like me, I share your grievances. For those with site who loves this update, more power to all of you.

Every week, I’d watch my 205, NXT, Table
for 3s...go back and rewatch all my favorite nWo nitros and PPVs. I used to watch it via my old Apple TV, but they decided not to support that platform anymore. Which upset me because I could enjoy content all day long while browsing the internet on my phone with no interruptions.

So I DL’d WWE and was able to cast to my ChromeCast and it didn’t bother me much. With ChromeCast you can still browse the internet with no problem.

Then this app made an update to WWE that is complete garbage. Not only did the layouts change for the worst. I can’t even cast to my ChromeCast or to my Apple TV. I have to watch on my phone or Ipad...I can screen monitor but I lose the ability to browse the web and live tweet about matches.

Why am I paying $9.99 now? Ill just pirate your content because its the same amount of headache to watch on my TV as it is to browse pirate servers for my wrestling. I don’t understand why you are doing this, but I am going to give it another month then cancel if it doesn't improve. Now that Shane’o’Mac isn’t on TV anymore you have him running your IT department? Completely garbage...save your money and pirate this content until they maker easier to enjoy.

I got the this app subscription to watch the recent crown jewel match and I haven’t been able to get pass the 10 min mark without it constantly exiting me out of what I’m watching for no reason and then when I try to continue watching it’ll play audio from earlier along with current audio. And if that wasn’t bad enough I’ll exit WWE close everything and try again and it’ll start me off 2-3min earlier then where I was when i closed WWE and if I try to scroll/fast forward to where I was in the match before WWE crashed on me. It starts to crash because I fast forward. Honestly I’m just gonna do the 1 month free trial and then cancel because what is the point of paying for this subscription if I can’t watch anything in peace. I also realized a lot of other people have this exact same problem and they don’t seem to have done anything about it and that’s upsetting.

Where to begin? A 2016 Samsung TV no longer has WWE . I can’t use my 3rd gen. Apple TV either. Why would WWE be updated to such a point that it eliminates hardware that is only a few years old? I don’t want to have to go out and buy another piece of hardware to watch the Network or watch it in my phone.

Continue Watching: I don’t see the ability to continue watching a show that you did not finish. Where did that go?

PPVs: The update took away the ability to choose a year for old this app PPVs so you can watch them in order. Now, the PPVs are listed alphabetically. So unless you know which PPVs are which month, it is no longer easy to watch in order. Even so, you now have to skip around to different PPVs to watch in order. Plus, PPVs that have been retired are on a separate line. The solution I was told? Put a year in the search bar. But that brings up every piece of content, not just PPVs. I don’t need the most recent PPV front and center. Just have it part of the PPV tab line before.
For some reason, WCW and ECW PPVs are still by year, but not this app ones.
WWE seems more crowded and congested on the main page.
I am all for updates, but this one missed the mark. Allow users to organize PPVs by name or year, so those of us who like to watch old ones in order can pick PPVs by year.

The this app network used to be my favorite app and then....the big update happened. OMG what a hot mess! It ruined my viewing parties with my cousins because after the update WWE will no longer cast to Chromecast. And they still haven’t fixed that. And it’s sucked all the joy I used to have watching the network with my cousins because we’re not all going to gather around my iPhone to watch. So I no longer see NXT or any of the PPVs or specials with them because I can’t cast anymore. I’m trying to give the this app time to fix this but I’m paying for it in the meantime. And as this time goes by as I wait, my cousins are watching this app less and less and the UFC more and more. They have even suggested switching our viewing parties to UFC events. If the casting issues don’t get fixed soon then I’m going to have to cancel my subscription and the UFC will be getting my money from then on. It’s a shame because I’m a longtime subscriber.

The appleTV app works fine for me and there doesn’t seem to be any problem for this app to bill me every month, but when I try to use the iPhone version of WWE ... I don’t exist. The same exact email address works on one platform, but not the other... Not a password issue as I received an email that straight up says there is no account associated with this email address... I am typing this while streaming an episode of Total Divas to my TV. Please fix your database and I’ll change my rating.

-Update- After a couple of months of using only the AppleTV version of WWE, it no longer loads videos on my AppleTV, merely giving me the spinning white wheel of doom. I’ve uninstalled WWE multiple times and rebooted the AppleTV itself in every possible order before trying to load videos and NOTHING WORKS. Will be cancelling my subscription to this service due to a (now) complete inability to load ANY VIDEOS ON ANY DEVICES. Thanks for stealing my money for this month.

I love the accessibility of the network and being able to look back through the years that made this company so great. But it’s hard to do that when the content you watch stops and buffers every 2 minutes...literally. Then after a time will just quit on you with errors. It is one of the cheaper streaming services, but thats no excuse to have so many glitches. Also, maybe I missed but I’m a paying customer of the network; have been since the the early inception and before the release of this free version. So if I’m paying a monthly fee; why am I now seeing ads before videos play. Shouldn’t that be something reserved for viewers that choose not to pay for the service? Just saying.

My debit card expired and I wanted to simply change payment information to avoid uninterrupted service. Could not change my info on WWE or online, so call customer service. The lady informed me that I had 7days left on my current cycle and that I had to let my account cancel and then I could put in my new payment info when I resubscribe. Do what?!?! From there the lady would not listen to my complaint and proceeded to talk over me. I tried to express how inconvenient this was. Someone else got on the phone and said they could cancel my account and I could resubscribe today. I was like “no just let it cancel when it’s supposed to”. Woke up the next morning to an email that I had been canceled and refunded the difference. What?!?! But there is a PPV tomorrow?!?! So I missed out and will not subscribe. Poor horrible customer service.

Not to mention when I started watching WWE, I was to get 30 days free. I got ten. I called customer service and they told me it was free for the month. The month was over and so was my free trail. Poor customer service. It’s so sad really.

While there are no connection issues, and the video player is equivalent to what you would get with all of the other top tier streaming service, the software itself leaves something to be desired.

Many shows are hide to find, and the search feature is so crowded what you’re looking for might be on the screen and you don’t even realize it.

Also, and this was a huge surprise, it’s hard to subscribe. The number one thing the this app wants you to do with WWE, is pay for it, and they make it difficult. I’m 26 years old. I’ve been around technology for my entire life. I’ve been looking for 10 minutes where to renew my subscription in WWE and I still haven’t found a way. When you go to account, it just tells you your sub isn’t active. No option to renew it. When you go to a subscriber only video it tells you this video is only for subscribers; Any other modern app would have some type of way to instantly renew your membership as soon as you clicked on that video.

Overall viewing experience is great, and the catalog of programming is absolutely massive, but the software behind it is bad, always has been. Even the browser is bad when watching on a computer. Dear this app, if you’re hiring the software development for this project out to an outside company FIND SOMEONE ELSE.

As a lifelong fan of the WWF/this app, I love a large variety of the programming made available on WWE . I agree with other reviews in that there should be more Original programming. Also, the rolling out of older programming from other federations/wrestling organizations is frustrating. They've definitely shown improvement but they're definitely taking their time. Heck, where's Wrestling Challenge and Superstars?

My biggest frustration however is how many times I have to try to open WWE on my iPad before it successfully loads. It'll give the impression it's going to load each time but then crashes shortly after. On average it takes 7-10 attempts to get WWE /network to load.

You should also have an option to remove things from your "Continue Watching" list. Often times I'll complete a program in its entirety yet it's still in my list. (Sometimes reflecting where I originally continued watching) it's really aggravating because you have to go through each program, love the slider bar close to the end, let a few minutes play. It then will prompt you with the next program they try to get you to watch. You have to press done QUICKLY otherwise it will then start THAT program and you have to repeat the process. Can you say RIDICULOUS AND IRRITATING? I knew you could.

The this app Network could learn a lot from their fans and what they look for in programming and more if they just took us, and not just our money, seriously.

Hello this app. I'm a diehard wrestling fan. I'm also visually impaired. This means that I use VoiceOver accessibility on the iPhone with this app application. I have run into a couple of problems and heard from a lot of visually impaired friends of mine that WWE has become very in accessible to them. As I do have a little bit of vision, and I am very adept at technology, this doesn't seem to be the same for me. I love the new layout but there are some inconveniences on the application. One, the layout seems to be a little bit harder for those with and without sight. As there are tabs now I do like that. But please make it simpler to navigate. Good luck in making that happen very soon. Too, I can't wait to watch summer slam and I am hoping that the program will be accessible and as easy to locate as it was once before! Three. If you have any questions about my feedback please email me or respond to this review. Thank you I would be willing to test your apps accessibility for those of us who are visually impaired

Okay so I have been having this problem for many times I watch a stream, and even a previous PPV show before present time. The problem is that it would always crash when I am watching a televised PPV and RAW or SMACKDOWN LIVE. Even worse it would just lag and freeze at moments when I’m watching. It ALWAYS happens mid stream. And the graphics are near 144p. But in overall situations here, I like how this app network at least gives notifications of a start of a televised show. That’s pretty cool. But I hate how it makes the current stream you are watching to stop and makes it not live as other this app network fans that watch it live. So things you HAVE to fix is 1. Please make the lag and the frozen moments stop. 2. Make some of the graphics better. 3. Make the notification of a new event not freeze the current stream not making it live. That’s really it. But in overall, out of 1-5 stars (1 is really bad 2 is bad 3 is decent 4 is good 5 is really good) I would give it a 3 star. Thanks for looking at my review if you are a this app member. Make the errors I wrote to stop in the next update.

As a long time this app fan, I absolutely love the this app Network for its affordable price and access to the entire this app Universe

My main complaint here is that WWE have some major glitches that need to be resolved. 1st, when it comes to trying to play back videos or click on a tab, WWE will shut down at least 4/5 times before it will actually load the content. The second issue is with the Shop portion of WWE . I purchase a lot of items from the this app shop, but it is hard to do so when sometimes it will not scroll down and let me click on other options. And lastly, I think it would be a great idea if there was a way that if you are watching smackdown and raw in order, that the “up next” episode can be in order from the last one. For example, if I just got done watching an old episode of raw, I think the next episode of Smackdown should play immediately after, rather than exiting out to go to the smackdown tab. I have been a longtime member of the this app Network and it would be great if at least some of these issues were resolved.

Going on over a year and some time now having the network, and I enjoy it because I live in yesteryear. These last couple of months however have bothered me with the frequent ads for upcoming programming. I get you have a product to sell, but I can’t watch one episode of RAW without an ad coming up before the next. Very annoying and unfair. Would also like a feature that allows you to relive the days by episode and not just show. For example, if I want to watch a RAW from 2001, I should automatically be able to go to SmackDOWN! of that same week without interruption. But the ads are by far the worst thing about the network since I’m paying.

I have the this app Network App on my Apple TV. When I first got it, there were some bugs, but it was relatively easy to use and still accomplished its task. But now on the heels of Summer Slam this new update makes everything worse.

For starters, my account was somehow lost. When I called this app support they told me to contact Apple. When I called Apple, they told me to contact this app. To resolve this issue, I had to cancel my previous subscription and re-subscribe as a new user. That’s inconvenient, but not terribly difficult.

Now I’m watching SummerSlam and guess what happens now? I can’t fast forward or rewind. Whatever new update you guys made to the video player completely negates the use of my Samsung Smart Universal Remote, an issue I did not have with the previous versions. This is my biggest gripe with the update, fast forwarding through the matches I don’t really care about is important to me and I’m sure many others. Please fix this.

Hi, I used to love WWE, so I gave it an extra star. But now, WWE would just go to the loading screen and will not finish. I hope that this will be fixed, but until then, only 2 stars. What I mean by, not loading, I mean it goes to the this app logo, the loading wheel spins, and spins, and spins. The entire app doesn’t work! Okay, I found out it was my internet, but now, when I sign into my this app Network account, it either says, “You are signed in as...” or “You are not authorized to see this media.” Please fix this, because for a long time, I’ve been a this app fan, and I still have hope that this will fix, but if it doesn’t, I will be forced to cancel my subscription. Thank you,

First of all, I don’t mind the update at all. It is better than the previous version. The videos play instantly instead of seeing the disclaimer every time I wanted to open one. There are some things to improve on but for the most part it’s decent. My only huge upset and drawback is that I no longer see the Chromecast feature, this is a major blow especially since it lost 10 other platforms. The other reviews bashing the update are ridiculous, people have to get out of the comfort zone and adapt to change. Although not always but change is good. Thanks this app!

I had this app network years ago when it first came out & I didn’t really care for it then they made you get locked In to a 6 month contract & you weren’t able to cancel. This is much better thought I love WWE now they have so much content it’s crazy every PPV EVER from ECW & WCW & WWF/this app they even have old PPV that aren’t even around anymore like judgement day & backlash. They also have every episode of raw & smackdown ever + NXT I am really enjoying WWE & I plan on keeping it for a long time I’m probably gunna buy the year membership that’s how much I like this. If your a wrestling fan new or old this is for you.

The this app network is great but it's lacking one thing consistency with the networks original programming they have yet to release the second half of camp this app and the second half of holy Foley and also another season of this app count down and this app rivals. If the network to become more like Netflix with their original programming it would make WWE more better it will make the network better because we don't have to wait for a second half of the season we could just watch it all there and then wait for a second season when it comes. Other than the original programming for the network, the video on demand selection is great there's only one problem, I wish they would add some more ECW footage. this app claims to have all of the ECW footage but I don't see the Barbwire match between Terry Funk and Sabu anywhere in the catalog. Other than that the W network is solid if you're wrestling fan you will really enjoy it you enjoyed all the countless memories going down memory lane watching every single Wrestlemania known to man and more Wrestlemanias to come also it's $9.99 and you can't beat that.

EDIT: Please bring back the casting feature!!

It’s great for a this app and just all around wrestling fan like myself to watch the this app Network that has thousands of hours of content on it to watch from interesting original shows that give you some insight into the lives of the superstars and the company itself to every pay-per-view ever from this app, ECW, and WCW but I would love for the this app Network to include programming from other shows like Velocity, HEAT, Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n Wrestling cartoons, Shotgun Saturday Night, and this app Superstars from 2009 all the way to 2013. I found the Network lacking in that area, but other than that it’s great! Hopefully they’ll be able to add those shows in the future.

I am a this app(WWF)New Generation and Attitude Era fan, this is the main reason why I decided to get a subscription and download WWE , I wanted to see Monday night Raw in order. I don’t know when exactly it all started, but while watching year Raw 93, all my devices are having playback and audio problems. While watching, the video would start buffering and the audio would start from the beginning while the video would continue playing the main audio. Then WWE started to crash and sign me out, as well as error messages would pop up, I would have to sign back in and start the video all over again. I thought it was just my iPad, but then I tried it with my iPhone 8+ and it was the same, as well as trying to see if it was a WiFi issue, but my ps4 is wired and it kept happening there. I contacted the technical support team and described the issues as well as sending multiple videos and screen shots of the issues and errors, but until now they claim that it’s my end and all my devices are faulty. I wish I can say that I’m canceling my subscription, but there’s no place else I can watch my beloved superstars. I can only hope that they can listen to the loyalty of the fans and the valid technical complaints, to do there best on getting the issues fixed. I hope this review does not fall on deaf ears and will change my review if the problems are taken care of.

WWE before this update was decent and I could find all the shows I wanted to watch despite all of the menu diving. The new UI has way too many categories and it’s so hard to find certain shows unless you scroll through every single category and become familiar with what’s in each one. All I’d like to do is watch, for example, all of this app in 1999. To do that, I have to go to Raw section and find the episode, then search for Heat, then search for pay per view. I have to remember the date for every single episode I watch because the new app doesn’t keep track of the dates. Also, for some reason you can only fast forward and rewind in increments of 10 seconds. You can no longer scrub through an episode with your finger. Lastly, when I connect my iPad to my tv with an HDMI cable using the Apple brand HDMI adapter, my iPad must be kept on, thus using up its battery. It it turns off then the episode turns off. This didn’t happen in the prior version.

It’s nice to see shows that were missing on some devices return however the on demand issues are still going on. Here are the list of shows that the autoplay doesn’t work. this app ECW this app Superstars 1992 WCCW Mid-Atlantic championship wrestling world championship wrestling from 1985 through 1989 and Most of Mid-South wrestling but the recent episodes that were added the autoplay works for those shows and the shows I mentioned don’t have stereo sound and I will continue reporting these problems until they are all fixed. These problems are on all devices including IOS PS4 and Roku. I need to know when these problems be fixed. These problems have been going on since the major update last summer 2019. I never got a reply on these issues over the last 6 months every time I wrote a review and it’s disappointing. Please let me know when these problems will be fixed. I have been a subscriber to the this app Network since it launched and I never had these problems this long before.

I used to love the network app. I never had any issues with crashing or anything like that and I always found everything very easy to find. But this new update from a couple days ago has made the network worse. It used to be that everything was in categories that was very easy to find and whether you wanted to watch a particular show or watch the live stream it was very easy to do. Now it looks like all of that has gone away. All of the categories from before seem to be gone or at least nowhere that I can find only certain things seemed to be on the one screen and if it’s not on there then I have no idea how to access it. There does not seem to be any way to go to any category or any of the easy stuff from before. I understand that they want to update the look and everything but do not sacrifice easy navigation for something that might look better. Way too many times websites will update them selves and take a simple layout and simple navigation and make things overly complicated when they don’t have to. Please do not do this and please fix WWE. This is my favorite app that I have on my phone and I really do not want to end up having to cancel my subscription. I mean why pay money every month for something that I can’t use?
