Frustrating experience
14 Jul
Byul Sarang
Extremely disappointed with the mewatch app. The user experience is extremely frustrating.The most annoying issue is that when I’m using mobile data, the app repeatedly pops up a warning every few seconds reminding me that I’m on data. This is completely unnecessary and disruptive. Nowadays, many users have generous or even unlimited mobile data plans. There should be an option to let users choose to always stream using mobile data when Wi-Fi is unavailable, instead of forcing the same reminder over and over again.Another major issue is that the Live TV feature frequently doesn’t work properly on mobile devices. It’s incredibly frustrating when you’re trying to watch live content and it either fails to load or doesn’t function as expected.

Unwarranted ads for free-to-air streaming causes bugs with AirPlay
21 Jul

FTA TV is already ad supported but you still want to add on unskippable 30s ads on top of that every single time you start a Ch5/CNA livestream, or change channel, or exit after a started-over live program has ended. That’s unfair. Even worse, these ads cause 100% reproducible drop out bugs when connected to AirPlay: the app tries to play an ad but cannot because AirPlay apparently doesn’t support ads. So I have to play the ad on my phone first then connect to AirPlay. Try AirPlaying a started-over live TV program, watching for at least 30mins (to trigger an ad when you exit) and after you exit, try starting over the next program while still on AirPlay. You’ll see how frustrating/buggy an experience it is and it’s due to your unwarranted ads. The stream should just automatically continue on to the start of the next program since the VAST majority of live TV programs are restartable anyway. But if it’s not, just stop the stream like how it currently does every time you reach the end. The mewatch LG WebOS and PC web browser versions used to do this for a period of time until it was reverted.Btw it’s shameful that after so many years (since the Toggle days) the Ch5 livestream on mewatch is still locked to Chinese-only subtitles with no option to change it. At least the CNA livestream is locked to English subtitles. It’s embarrassing that the only way to get English subtitles (or other language options) is to use over-the-air Digital TV or SingTel/Starhub TV while the first-party Mediacorp online source still doesn’t see fit to be inclusive of hard-of-hearing people or people of other races.

This app is always crashing. Buying the world cup subscription from toggle instead of any of the other provider is the worst mistake of my life. All I have gotten frompaying $112 is high blood pressure and stress. It is amazing how accurate it is at crashing right at the moment something exciting is about to happen in the matches. To date, I have missed 2 goals and a penalty. That day I got an error saying I am watching from too many screens... AFTER I have removed every other device paired to my account. After calling support, they told me it will take a few hours to resolve the issue. Let me repeat that: It will take A FEW HOURS to resolve the issue of me not being able to watch a match that is currently underway. I wonder if these people understand the concept of live telecast. They may as well tell me the issue will be resolved next week because it doesn’t make any difference and I will still have missed the match.

WORST VIDEO ON DEMAND APP EVER Cannot be used

This is the worst app ever for video on demand and it’s simply a waste of time. How can the app only be used in one location at any time?? I logged in once before on my tv and then I cannot log into my iPhone anymore. It tells me to delete app and sign in again. The TV also cannot log in. It says no user. So here I am deleting again re-do again and again just useless. Only ever successfully used this service once months ago! This is horrible. How can you make it so difficult for users to use your service? And users already signed up. Why need to re-log in again and again? Come on… it’s hopeless app and service that is completely useless. Don’t bother even getting the paid version since the free one is already hopeless.
