Review summary

Users generally praise the app for its wholesome, family-friendly content and ad-free experience, with broad appeal. However, recurring issues harm reliability: casting/Chromecast problems, playback glitches (video and audio), stability/updates causing freezes or crashes, and device-specific compatibility or browser detection errors. These consistency gaps appear across multiple reviews, indicating that content quality is strong but the app’s streaming reliability and cross-device performance need significant improvement.

Pros

Rich library of family-friendly, faith-based programming (e.g., The Chosen, Music and the Spoken Word).
Ad-free, wholesome entertainment suitable for sharing with family.
Positive sentiment about content quality and variety across reviews.
Broad appeal with strong recommendations from users, including LDS and non-LDS audiences.

Cons

Casting and Chromecast/Google Cast issues that disrupt streaming and require workarounds.
Playback problems including black/white screens and missing or muted audio during movies or episodes.
Stability and reliability problems across updates, such as freezes, crashes, or the app failing to boot.
Device compatibility and browser detection errors on certain devices (e.g., Pixel, Chromebook) and with some casting configurations.

2026-07-20	Da*****	Come on, guys. This app could be good. but it's not. Half the time, it doesn't work. It signs me out often. The shows I liked (Extinct, Itch, etc) never got past two seasons before being cancelled. Casting to a TV almost never works. And the app is very glitchy. That's my list of grievances. Grievances I've had for the past few YEARS. Please do something about this.

2026-06-07	Ma*****	Ever since the update on my phone I cant watch anything without it freezing or lagging minutes into what I'm watching. I love this app since my show is on here only, but I can't watch it without having to close out the app every 5-10 minutes..

2026-05-24	Gu*****	is this viewed in heaven? I'm locked out of BYUtv account because I logged in at church instead of at home. meanwhile this new BYUtv app has a way of requiring user to answer a bunch of likes and taste so it can choose what to watch for me. for real...y'all is that blind.ctr.ok family, I've cooled off a bit and read many other similar rates. BYUtv movies and shows, many can't be found, free, if found at all, elsewhere. like Extinct by Scotty. that series alone adds 4 stars. what's JC's number;)?
