User Reviews

Mean TV is loved for its rich, worker-owned, anti-capitalist content and the Means Morning News, but users want more content and more consistent updates. Recurrent issues include login across devices, playback errors, PiP problems, and a clunky UI that hinders navigation. Overall, the catalog growth and reliability improvements are the main requests, while the content and mission receive strong praise.

Pros

High-quality, diverse leftist content and educational material.
Worker-owned co-op model with fair creator compensation.
Morning News updates are a reliable, engaging feature.
Overall app quality and simple design are well received.
Clear audience alignment and community support for the platform's mission.

Cons

Content quantity and consistency—request for more content and daily updates.
Playback issues and errors on Apple devices (e.g., 500 errors, failed loads).
Login/sign-in instability across devices.
UI/navigation is hard to use and makes it difficult to find favorites or latest episodes.
Performance lag on Apple TV and older devices.

Recent reviews

Im really craving more socialist content and when I found MeanTv i was really excited. But the longer ive been a member, even the daily news has become shorter and not daily. Please make more content I won’t cancel my subscription because its important to support the content that is out there. But it is getting harder to recommend this to others. 4-26 edit: still needs more content. Especially in the daily news category. A CONSISTENT morning news. Maybe an evening news
