User Reviews

User feedback centers on two themes: the content library is valued, but the app repeatedly fails due to ads and playback instability. Many reviews describe ads freezing, looping, or not loading, causing crashes, black screens and forced restarts. This is compounded by sporadic login/registration errors and wifi/data issues across devices (phones, TVs, Fire Stick). A minority still praises content access when the app works. Overall, reliability and ad handling are the primary pain points, while some users still recognize the available shows when streaming functions properly.

Pros

Content library is valued with access to many shows and movies (some reviews praise it as Fantastic).
A minority of users report the app works well and provides satisfactory streaming when functioning properly.

Cons

Ad breaks cause freezing, looping, or long delays, often preventing playback.
Frequent crashes or errors during or after ads (black screens, being kicked out, unable to continue).
Ads replay or fail to load, forcing repeated restarts and poor viewing experience.
Connectivity/registration issues (some users can’t register certain internet providers; login errors; wifi vs data problems).
Device compatibility issues observed across platforms (e.g., Sony TV, Fire Stick) contributing to instability.

Impossible to get the Global app to connect and sign in on Bell Aliant. I installed the app on my phone, signed in and it seemed to work. But then I tried to sign in on the app on the TV using the onscreen code. I scanned the QR code, went to the Global activate link on my phone, entered the code in the text box on the webpage on my phone and the page froze. Tried repeatedly and it froze every time. Tried screen casting from my phone and the TV app froze. Gave up. Terrible app.
