User Reviews

MS NOW has strong content when accessible but is consistently plagued by sign-in failures with TV providers, unstable playback and crashes (notably on Apple TV), and an intrusive ad experience with repetitive, loud commercials. The Apple TV app is repeatedly unreliable, with many users reinstalling or restarting to regain access. Some users report partial iPhone sign-in success, but overall the dominant pattern is connectivity, stability, and ad-prioritization issues that undermine the viewing experience.

Pros

Cons

TV provider login/sign-in failures across iOS and tvOS (buttons not working, repeated prompts, errors)
Frequent playback instability and crashes: live streams fail to load, switching between live and on-demand can cause issues, audio problems, occasional blue screen
Excessive, repetitive, and loud ads disrupt viewing (same commercials repeated frequently)
Apple TV-specific instability: live broadcasts not loading, blue screen, frequent crashes, need to reinstall/restart and re-sign in

Recent reviews

I have been writing to this company in hopes they would fix this buggy app but they seem incapable of creating a simple app. Not only do I have to log in every other day instead of staying logged in through my provider (xfinity), but it worked for a few days on my iPad and then suddenly all I get is a black screen when attempting to log in through xFinity. Why can’t they seem to fix this app?
