User Reviews

Users praise Frndly TV for its strong classic-content catalog, reliable DVR/on-demand features, and a user-friendly interface with good value for reruns. However, recurring complaints include heavy ads, inflated or incomplete episode counts, and inconsistent content availability. Many reviews note bugs and slow performance after updates, plus recording controls that are cumbersome (deleting and not always able to fast-forward/rewind). Streaming to TVs can be unreliable, and some worry about age ratings and family suitability. Overall, content quality is solid but UX and stability need improvement.
Pros
  • Strong catalog of classic shows and channels, with good value for reruns.
  • DVR and on-demand features work well.
  • Start Over capability to restart episodes is highly valued.
  • User-friendly interface.
  • Roku compatibility and easy streaming of legacy content.
Cons
  • Ads are heavy and intrusive, including long infomercials.
  • Content library feels inaccurate or incomplete (episode counts inflated; not all episodes available).
  • Recording and playback frustrations (deleting recordings; cannot always fast-forward/rewind; gating around recording).
  • Performance and stability issues after updates (loading circles, blank screens, Not Available, slow).
  • Casting to TV can be unreliable; some channels scramble when casting.

You get like 46 channels in Blu-Ray quality 1080p for $10 with DVR you can set the previous day or a week ahead. If you hate current network TV like we do, but love 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's Classic TV . . this is your channel. We watch Friendly more than any other app mainly because the shows made during this era were so much better! The actors were actually talented with a storyline that didn't go into politics, gender, race . . you just enjoy the program. It brings a smile DOWNSIDE: You have to sign in every time you launch the app‼️

05/25/3026 I have been using Frndly TV for a little over six months now. Overall it’s a semi usable service. Things kind of work but not reliably. Sometimes shows show up as expected other times they disappear. This includes recordings. At this point I would say stay away from this service. Even though it’s cheaper it hasn’t improved at all in the past six plus months. I am going to switch to something more reliable like Philo even though I’m going to be paying more.

I have the premium subscription and yet I can’t get any channel to stream high definition. This in and out is annoying. Thus making this service and quality 2/5.
