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.
Recent reviews
Frndly had been a great app but lately one of my stations I watch frequently will just start spinning and I have to go out of the app and back in. This happens several times during a one hour show. The other thing recently that has started happening is I have to sign in to the app at least once a week. Not sure if this is a glitch or if something has changed. It is frustrating.

Going through the process of restarting the modem, restarting the Apple TV and uninstalling the app and reinstalling the app just for the sake of ad tracking was enough to justify canceling the subscription. You were saved by my love of Svengoolie.
