HGTV GO - Stream Live TV App Reviews

Great idea, but app suddenly stops a show while still saying its streaming and wont pick up where you left off. Then trying to find your spot is difficult and results in more repetitive commercials. The commercial breaks for the shows Ive watched are about every 10 minutes and over a minute and a half. It wouldnt be so bad if the commercials werent obnoxiously repetitive ads for their tv apps.

The app stops streaming frequently in spite of continuing to be connected to my Cromecast. Sometimes it works without issue, but other times, its nearly impossible to watch a show with all of the interruptions.

Love the app I can watch my favorites shows any time !!! Good result and easy to use.?

I really enjoy having my favorite tv station and my favorite shows on my finger tips. This is a very user friendly app, it is often improve and I just cant live without it!

This is about the worst app I have used. When picking a video to watch, it takes pushing the play button 20-30 times to start. I understand throwing in advertisements, but sometime it plays the SAME ad 3 times in a row. We started watching an episode and stopped. Came back to finish it. While trying to skip to where we left off, it forced us to watch all the ads up to the point we wanted to start watching again. It really deserves 0 stars, but that isnt an option. Done. Deleted. Wont try any of the sister apps for the other HG shows. They all seem to work the same way.

+love watching my favorite shows on my IPad +great variety of shows -episodes stop working -ads are ANNOYING - why do I want to watch an ad 3 times in a row for an app Im currently using? I cancelled my cable after I found this app since I mainly watched HGTV - Im starting to question my decision - especially when the app is not working when needed.

I love it! Yes it plays and cuts off but that is a real savings if one has to step away for another task!?

When you click on the slider bar to jump back or forward, I have the app jumps to some other random place. Really annoying !

I have no problems with the app! Great job HGTV

There is always a problem...the app will open but when you pick an episode...the screen goes blue...this is the same with, HGTV, DYI, Travel, and Food Network...just a new problem...same story...get your crap together...

The app worked great when we were with standard Directv. However we recently switched to Directv Now and the app doesnt recognize/allow that as a subscriber option. This is despite the fact that I pay for a package that includes HGTV. This is unacceptable and needs to be fixed ASAP. I realize I switched to an all together new service, but this app is supported by other streaming providers, Sling for instance. Simply, I PAY for a service that includes HGTV and selecting them as a subscriber to verify the app should be an option.

Since the update I cant login to my DirectTV account and therefore cant watch any shows. Please fix.

Ok. So I get ads. But this app isnt technically free since you have to have a cable log in to watch majority of the shows, so why so many ads? More than Hulu. Also if you are gonna have ads then least sell enough of them to give a good variety. Ads are annoying enough to watch the same three ads on repeat sometimes the same ad back to back.

Really easy to navigate and theres a lot of content on here

I have no issues with HGTVs app. Love being able to watch Fixer Upper and Property Brothers!

Commercials are waaaaaay too long during shows. It says "your video will resume in 87 seconds" and then when that time runs down, it resets and there is another set of commercials! Super annoying. Dont like watching shows.

While it has many of the HGTV shows that I love to watch, there are as many minutes devoted to commercial ads as actual show viewing times. Plus the same ad theme repeats itself over and over again. I estimate 6 ads per every 4-5 minutes of actual show viewing time. I got so frustrated with the high number of ads, I uninstalled the app.

When you go into any given show to watch "on demand" it just gives you a list mixed with clips and full episodes with no rhyme or reason to the order. Id like them to at least take a look at how Hulu does it. In order by release date, and separate episodes and clips into separate lists.

This app constantly crashes right during the middle of an episode. Then I have to try and guess where the episode crashed without actually being able to see any screen grabs to figure out where I was. I was hoping this would be fixed with the most recent update, but it wasnt. You cant fast forward either without having to watch 103 seconds of repetitive commercials, so if Im not in the right spot where the episode crashed, I have to sit through multiple 103 second commercial breaks. There are seriously way too many advertisements. The app is also not intuitive at all. There is no back button, and the app will often become unresponsive. This app needs a major overall. Get some tips from Netflix. Until things get fixed, Im not gonna be using the app, its too frustrating.

Great app a lot of good content. However the commercials are beyond irritating! It takes more time to watch them then the actual show it self. Property Brothers and some other shows used to be on Netflix so it seems somewhat disappointing that we went from no commercials to waaaay to many commercials.
