## Review summary

Users praise BYUtv as a free, diverse, family-friendly service with BYU sports and uplifting content and usable streaming options. However, recurring issues hinder the experience: frequent crashes and playback problems, difficulty resuming where you left off, and episodes or live streams skipping or failing; problems casting to TVs (often a blank screen); unreliable live TV features; the app failing to stay awake on devices; and occasional offline/privacy concerns. The most needed fixes are stability, reliable casting, and improved live TV performance.

- Casting to TVs often fails or shows a blank screen.
- Live TV features can be unreliable.
- The app sometimes fails to stay awake on devices causing screen sleep during playback.
