## Review summary

Users praise Sony LIV for its broad content library and offline download option, but cite reliability problems. Top issues include heavy ads, broken offline access, and cast/subtitle problems, along with stability and device-compatibility gaps. Overall, content quality is seen as a strength, but the user experience suffers due to performance and UX annoyances.

- Premium offline downloads available
- Live channels and sports content are available
- Positive sentiment about content variety and quality

### Cons

- Offline mode is unreliable: requires login to view downloads and cannot be used offline (e.g., on planes)
- Subtitles/captions are not synced or real-time, especially when casting
- Casting/TV compatibility is weak: no Android TV app and casting is unreliable
- App stability issues: frequent crashes and unresponsive controls
