    Wert aus Rezensionen: 72 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 47.850.326 Bewertungen

    The world's largest video platform with an unmatched catalog spanning cooking tutorials, live concerts, and feature-length documentaries. The core product weakness is the algorithm increasingly mixing AI-generated junk and spam channels into recommendations, eroding the value of discovery.

    Gelobt

    Endless variety: children's educational content, knitting channels, and full indie series all live on one platform.

    Kritik

    The recommendation algorithm is drowning in AI-generated content and spam channels, making quality niche videos harder and harder to surface.

    Für wen: Anyone who wants all internet video in one place.

    PBS: Watch TV & Documentaries

    Wert aus Rezensionen: 72 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,9★ · 355.913 Bewertungen

    One of the best free streaming services in the US with a rich documentary and educational catalog, though individual stations occasionally disappear and episode progress tracking is inconsistent.

    Gelobt

    High-quality documentary and educational programming without intrusive commercials.

    Kritik

    Episode progress resets: the app offers to re-watch episodes you have already finished.

    Für wen: Viewers who care about documentaries, news, and cultural programming without the entertainment fluff.

    Infuse

    Wert aus Rezensionen: 72 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 27.711 Bewertungen

    The best media player for personal libraries on Apple devices with network storage support and high-quality decoding, though iCloud subscription sync breaks periodically and VPN performance is unreliable.

    Gelobt

    Plays remux files and rare formats with accurate color rendering out of the box, better than any competitor on Apple TV.

    Kritik

    Shared family profiles are missing: a single Jellyfin account is tied to all devices at once with no way to separate library access.

    Für wen: Owners of a home media server or NAS who watch on Apple TV and iPhone.

Plätze 4–95

  1. Red Bull TV: Watch Live Events

    Platz 4. Wert aus Rezensionen: 72 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,9★ · 12.881 Bewertungen

    The best free source for action sports: motocross, rock climbing, BMX, and dozens of other disciplines in solid quality. The weak spot is removed features like offline downloads and Chromecast that used to exist.

    Gelobt: A unique free catalog of action sports with live events and an archive.

    Kritik: Watch progress is not saved, so you have to search for where you stopped every single time.

    Für wen: Fans of extreme and action sports.

  2. HBO Max: Stream Movies & TV

    Platz 5. Wert aus Rezensionen: 71 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,9★ · 5.338.177 Bewertungen

    A streaming service with one of the best Warner Bros and HBO archives: classic blockbusters, cult series, and quality originals from its own studio. The main product flaw is the automatic skip to the next episode before the current one finishes, plus complicated authorization loops when switching devices.

    Gelobt: The depth of the Warner and HBO archive makes the service indispensable for rewatching classics: Entourage, Game of Thrones, DC essentials.

    Kritik: The player force-starts the next episode without letting you finish the current one, and there is no way to reset viewing progress back to the start of a season.

    Für wen: Fans of Warner Bros and HBO content who value catalog depth.

  3. Queue - Find Movies & Shows

    Platz 6. Wert aus Rezensionen: 71 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 12.015 Bewertungen

    A full-featured watch tracker with a smart recommendations feed and streaming service aggregation. It competes with Letterboxd in feature depth but suffers from lag and occasional crashes when rating episodes.

    Gelobt: A smart watchlist that aggregates across all your subscriptions and cuts down the time spent choosing what to watch.

    Kritik: The app periodically freezes and crashes when rating episodes, and performance noticeably dropped after recent updates.

    Für wen: Dedicated cinephiles who keep a log of everything they watch.

  4. Netflix

    Platz 7. Wert aus Rezensionen: 68 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 6.769.909 Bewertungen

    The pioneer of streaming with strong original series and a clean interface with no ads on the base tier. Constant catalog rotation where titles disappear without warning and player degradation (reverting to an older interface) noticeably worsen the experience for long-term subscribers.

    Gelobt: Original content consistently hits the mark: users come back for specific series, not just to find something to watch.

    Kritik: The catalog is unstable: favorite movies and shows regularly vanish at exactly the moment you want to rewatch them.

    Für wen: Fans of quality original series who can live with library rotation.

  5. JustWatch - Movies & TV Shows

    Platz 8. Wert aus Rezensionen: 68 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 28.779 Bewertungen

    The best tool for finding which service a film is on and maintaining a single watchlist, but trailers have stopped playing correctly, the continue-watching button is broken, and background audio capture is annoying.

    Gelobt: Instantly shows which service carries the film you want and lets you keep a single wishlist across all your subscriptions.

    Kritik: Trailer playback is broken: ads loop endlessly while the actual trailer cuts off or gets replaced.

    Für wen: Subscribers to multiple streaming services who do not want to get lost across catalogs.

  6. Apple TV

    Platz 9. Wert aus Rezensionen: 63 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 1.792.583 Bewertungen

    The app combines a movie and TV purchase store with access to Apple TV+, its own streaming service with award-winning originals. The weak spot is unstable sports streaming (MLB Baseball regularly freezes) and the absence of a continue-watching feature after live broadcasts are interrupted.

    Gelobt: Apple TV+ originals regularly win awards and stand out for production quality among competitors.

    Kritik: Sports streams are unstable: video freezes and artifacts appear at exactly the moments that matter most.

    Für wen: Apple device owners looking for quality original series.

  7. discovery+ | Stream TV Shows

    Platz 10. Wert aus Rezensionen: 63 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,9★ · 903.957 Bewertungen

    The strongest aggregator for niche non-fiction content: nature, cooking, home renovation, and documentaries. The app periodically freezes after several consecutive episodes and needs a restart, and content from some networks like Magnolia has thinned noticeably.

    Gelobt: A unique catalog of themed non-fiction content not available on other platforms.

    Kritik: After extended viewing the app freezes and needs a restart, which breaks the viewing flow.

    Für wen: Fans of documentary, cooking, and home renovation television.

  8. Crunchyroll

    Platz 11. Wert aus Rezensionen: 62 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 1.433.419 Bewertungen

    The largest legal anime catalog with same-day simulcast releases alongside Japan, which makes it irreplaceable for the genre. After the Sony acquisition, subtitles have gotten worse, episode comments were removed, and episode ordering in some franchises is broken.

    Gelobt: The only platform where new anime seasons release on the same day as the Japanese broadcast, with a full archive of classics.

    Kritik: Subtitles in a number of titles degraded after the team change: sometimes the translation is inaccurate enough that following the plot without knowing Japanese is genuinely difficult.

    Für wen: Anime fans who care about legal access to current simulcasts.

  9. Viki: Asian Dramas, Movies, TV

    Platz 12. Wert aus Rezensionen: 62 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 482.241 Bewertungen

    The best platform for Asian dramas with high-quality fan community subtitles, but the catalog is shifting toward Chinese content at the expense of Korean dramas, and technical issues with subtitles and cross-device progress sync hurt the experience.

    Gelobt: Subtitles are accurate and readable, made by fans rather than machine translation.

    Kritik: Watch progress does not sync between phone and TV.

    Für wen: Fans of Korean and Asian dramas who care about quality subtitles.

  10. F1 TV

    Platz 13. Wert aus Rezensionen: 62 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 129.441 Bewertungen

    F1 TV offers what no other service does: onboard cameras for every driver, a choice of commentators, and live race coverage with no ads. For a Formula 1 fan it is irreplaceable. TV casting is technically unreliable, and the decision to move live coverage to Apple TV angered part of the audience.

    Gelobt: Onboard cameras for every driver and live race coverage without a single ad break.

    Kritik: Casting to a TV is unstable: buffering and position loss happen with any interaction.

    Für wen: Dedicated Formula 1 fans who want every camera angle and full immersion.

  11. BritBox: The Best British TV

    Platz 14. Wert aus Rezensionen: 62 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 18.840 Bewertungen

    BritBox fills a rare niche for British television from classics to current releases, and the content side is rated highly, but the app has accumulated issues with Bluetooth controls, constant password prompts, and the absence of multiple profiles.

    Gelobt: The best collection of British series from BBC and ITV in one place, from Doctor Who to modern detective dramas.

    Kritik: No multiple profiles for families and no way to disable autoplay of the next episode.

    Für wen: British television fans outside the UK.

  12. Tubi: Movies & Live TV

    Platz 15. Wert aus Rezensionen: 60 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 1.158.149 Bewertungen

    For a free streaming service the catalog is surprisingly wide and varied, including rare genres and niche documentary films. The main product problem is unreliable loading: video stops at the 13-second mark and does not resume for hours.

    Gelobt: A huge free library with honest genre coverage including horror and documentary.

    Kritik: Streaming is unreliable: video freezes and does not recover without a multi-hour break.

    Für wen: Those who want to watch films for free and can live with instability.

  13. Plex: Find Movies and TV Shows

    Platz 16. Wert aus Rezensionen: 58 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 137.544 Bewertungen

    Plex remains the best option for organizing a personal media library and watching films for free. The main problem is that the company is increasingly pushing its own streaming at the expense of the core function, cluttering the interface and hiding the library.

    Gelobt: A single app for your personal media library, free films, and live TV from one entry point.

    Kritik: The interface increasingly buries the user library behind Plex's own streaming content.

    Für wen: Home media server owners and those who appreciate the free catalog.

  14. Movies Anywhere

    Platz 17. Wert aus Rezensionen: 58 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 73.803 Bewertungen

    Movies Anywhere solves a concrete and real problem: keeping all purchased films in one place regardless of which store they came from. The app handles this reliably enough, though syncing older purchases sometimes fails and downloaded copies quietly expire without warning.

    Gelobt: Users value the single list of all purchased films with offline viewing on the go.

    Kritik: Films downloaded for offline viewing expire without a notification or a countdown timer.

    Für wen: Buyers of digital films who store their collection across different stores and want a single player for everything.

  15. iQIYI - Dramas, Anime, Shows

    Platz 18. Wert aus Rezensionen: 58 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 56.390 Bewertungen

    iQIYI offers the deepest catalog of Chinese dramas and some anime with good picture quality, but navigation is weak: episode selection resets, subtitles do not scale on TV, and AI dubbing is applied without the viewer's consent. For Asian content fans there are few alternatives.

    Gelobt: A massive catalog of Chinese dramas and Korean shows with quality video even in free mode.

    Kritik: Watch progress resets when switching devices, and dubbing is replaced with an AI voice without explicit user consent.

    Für wen: Fans of Chinese and Korean dramas who are willing to subscribe to VIP.

  16. Vimeo

    Platz 19. Wert aus Rezensionen: 58 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,5★ · 11.725 Bewertungen

    A platform for authored video focused on creating and hosting content rather than passive consumption. Search is broken for a significant portion of users, subtitles behave unpredictably, and the interface has been redesigned several times with no clear benefit.

    Gelobt: Creators appreciate the absence of ads, the high quality of the community, and the respectful treatment of their video material.

    Kritik: Library-wide search consistently returns an error for a portion of users, making it nearly impossible to find a video without a direct link.

    Für wen: Independent creators and video content makers.

  17. The Roku App (Official)

    Platz 20. Wert aus Rezensionen: 55 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 5.749.368 Bewertungen

    A remote control app for Roku TVs that lets you control the device from your phone when the physical remote is lost or unavailable. Recent updates have increased connection drops, and the interface now includes ads that were not there before.

    Gelobt: A lifesaver when the remote goes missing: instantly turns your phone into a full remote with no extra setup.

    Kritik: The connection to the TV regularly drops after updates and requires manual reconnection every time you open the app.

    Für wen: Roku TV owners without a remote handy.

  18. IMDb: Movies & TV Shows

    Platz 21. Wert aus Rezensionen: 55 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 546.651 Bewertungen

    IMDb as a movie and TV database remains an indispensable reference with ratings, cast, and filmographies built up over decades. As an app it is degrading: it requires a login to read reviews, shows full-screen Amazon ads, and resets the scroll position in long lists when you navigate back.

    Gelobt: The largest and most accurate film and TV database with historical ratings and filmographies.

    Kritik: User lists and ratings lose their scroll position, and Amazon ad banners cover half the screen during navigation.

    Für wen: Anyone who wants to check a film's rating or cast before watching.

  19. TV Time: Track Shows & Movies

    Platz 22. Wert aus Rezensionen: 55 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 58.018 Bewertungen

    TV Time solves the real problem of tracking series and films better than most alternatives, but server instability has become a chronic issue. Users love it for years but are forced to close and reopen it every single session.

    Gelobt: Accurate show database with notifications for new episodes and a full viewing history.

    Kritik: The app fails to load on the first try in roughly half of sessions, and the watchlist occasionally disappears without warning.

    Für wen: Series watchers who follow many shows at once and do not want to lose their place.

  20. Rotten Tomatoes - Movies & TV

    Platz 23. Wert aus Rezensionen: 55 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,5★ · 18.741 Bewertungen

    Rotten Tomatoes as a review aggregator is useful for deciding whether to watch something, but the mobile app is noticeably worse than the web version: cumbersome review navigation, forced sign-in, and intrusive in-app advertising.

    Gelobt: Quick access to aggregated critic and audience scores before watching a film.

    Kritik: Reading user reviews is uncomfortable: the list constantly jumps during scrolling and resets position.

    Für wen: Viewers who check scores before going to the cinema or choosing a streaming option.

  21. Tennis TV - Live Streaming

    Platz 24. Wert aus Rezensionen: 55 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,5★ · 14.470 Bewertungen

    The only source for all ATP matches with good tournament coverage, but a recent interface overhaul broke landscape orientation on tablets and disrupted the navigation flow that longtime subscribers had valued.

    Gelobt: Full ATP 250-1000 coverage: every court, live matches, and an archive in one place.

    Kritik: After the latest update, screen orientation on iPad is broken and searching for players has become unintuitive.

    Für wen: Dedicated ATP tennis followers.

  22. Stream Tracker for Twitch Live

    Platz 25. Wert aus Rezensionen: 54 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 18.245 Bewertungen

    A functional statistics tracker for Twitch streamers with a clean interface. It does not work as a content viewing tool, but for managing a channel it does its job.

    Gelobt: Convenient way to track channel growth and unfollows in one place.

    Kritik: Most key analytics are locked behind a subscription.

    Für wen: New and growing Twitch streamers.

  23. Hulu: Stream TV shows & movies

    Platz 26. Wert aus Rezensionen: 52 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 1.429.399 Bewertungen

    The catalog is strong and current, especially for ongoing seasons and anime, but watched-content navigation is broken: the app loses progress, starts re-watches from the end of an episode rather than the beginning, and deletes downloads when the app is minimized.

    Gelobt: A wide catalog with exclusive seasons not available on other platforms.

    Kritik: Progress tracking is unreliable: episodes are skipped, watch history resets, and downloaded content disappears.

    Für wen: Those watching current seasons in order with no plans to rewatch.

  24. Atom - Movie Tickets & Times

    Platz 27. Wert aus Rezensionen: 52 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,9★ · 178.427 Bewertungen

    Atom handles the core task well: buy a movie ticket fast with T-Mobile Tuesday perks. For regular users it works. But the app systematically fails at payment during peak moments and stops loading right inside the theater when you need to show the ticket.

    Gelobt: Fast ticket exchanges and refunds without extra steps.

    Kritik: The app stops loading on the theater's Wi-Fi at exactly the moment you need to show your ticket.

    Für wen: Moviegoers with a T-Mobile subscription for ticket discounts.

  25. Web Video Cast | Browser to TV

    Platz 28. Wert aus Rezensionen: 52 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 70.067 Bewertungen

    Web Video Cast does exactly what it promises: cast video from a browser to a TV without extra steps. The connection is established on the first or second attempt, subtitles do not always transfer, and after 20-30 minutes of playback a random looping repeat of a scene can occur.

    Gelobt: Users appreciate that the phone screen stays fully independent from playback on the TV while casting is active.

    Kritik: Subtitles are not passed through when casting to most TVs, which makes the app useless for foreign-language content.

    Für wen: Users who need to stream video from a browser to a TV without cables or complex setup.

  26. Fox Nation

    Platz 29. Wert aus Rezensionen: 52 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 50.968 Bewertungen

    Fox Nation works as a documentary and news VOD platform focused on American values and religious themes. The content resonates with its audience, but the TV app breaks regularly, search fails to find relevant content, and new episodes arrive late.

    Gelobt: Documentary series on biblical and historical topics not available on other platforms.

    Kritik: Search returns only a handful of old results even for popular shows, and new episodes of series frequently fail to load on time.

    Für wen: Conservative audiences who value documentaries about faith and American history.

  27. OSN+

    Platz 30. Wert aus Rezensionen: 52 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,4★ · 22.633 Bewertungen

    OSN+ carries a quality catalog with HBO, A24, and Arabic content in 4K, but strict regional restrictions cut off users outside the Middle East, and the advertised Dolby Atmos does not match reality.

    Gelobt: A rich catalog of Western and Arabic content in good quality, including 4K and HBO content.

    Kritik: No way to manage a watched list or remove a finished series from Continue Watching.

    Für wen: Arabic audiences in the MENA region looking for Western and local content in one place.

  28. Disney+

    Platz 31. Wert aus Rezensionen: 50 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 1.972.781 Bewertungen

    Home to Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and National Geographic with a uniquely strong catalog for family viewing. The app cannot handle the load: constant buffering during peak hours, offline downloads break or do not work at all, and signing in on a TV has become a test of patience.

    Gelobt: The entire Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars animation and sci-fi archive in one place with no gaps.

    Kritik: The infrastructure cannot handle the load: buffering and stalls happen even right next to the router during prime time.

    Für wen: Families with children and fans of the Marvel and Star Wars universes.

  29. MGM+

    Platz 32. Wert aus Rezensionen: 49 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 84.016 Bewertungen

    MGM+ relies on strong original content like the series From, but basic use cases regularly break: TV provider authorization works intermittently, switching audio tracks requires a restart, and the interface drops spoilers in hint questions.

    Gelobt: Fans of the series From consider it one of the best genre shows in recent years and subscribe specifically for it.

    Kritik: Authorization on TV devices is unpredictable and requires too many steps.

    Für wen: Fans of quality genre sci-fi and classic films from the MGM library.

  30. Paramount+

    Platz 33. Wert aus Rezensionen: 48 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 883.105 Bewertungen

    The catalog covers Paramount films and CBS series, but the app is systematically unpolished: no rewind on Apple TV, the watch-later list does not work, subtitles have to be turned on manually every time, and watch progress is lost.

    Gelobt: A broad Hollywood catalog with exclusive series and new film releases.

    Kritik: Basic player features are broken: no rewind, position is not saved, subtitles reset.

    Für wen: Fans of Paramount franchises willing to tolerate an unpolished interface.

  31. Fandango at Home: Movies & TV

    Platz 34. Wert aus Rezensionen: 48 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 301.927 Bewertungen

    One of the few services with a permanent ownership model for films and a large catalog in HD and 4K, but since the transition from Vudu to Fandango at Home, authorization issues, downloaded file playback problems, and personal library navigation UX have been getting worse.

    Gelobt: A large personal library of purchased films in high quality built up over the years.

    Kritik: Navigating your own library is awkward: no genre filtering in the mobile app.

    Für wen: Digital film collectors who prefer owning movies over subscribing.

  32. Philo: Shows, Movies & Live TV

    Platz 35. Wert aus Rezensionen: 48 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 68.500 Bewertungen

    Philo offers a solid lineup of cable channels without local broadcast and runs reliably on phones, but on TVs it often lags after updates. The product value is real, but the frequency of ad breaks inside the stream eats away at the viewing experience.

    Gelobt: A wide selection of cable channels with convenient DVR recording and no extra setup.

    Kritik: No way to watch without ads even on the base subscription, and the ad frequency inside the stream is very high.

    Für wen: Those who want cable channels without a cable box and without local broadcast.

  33. Twitch: Live Streaming

    Platz 36. Wert aus Rezensionen: 45 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 2.730.154 Bewertungen

    The primary platform for live gaming and variety streams where streamers build audiences impossible to reach anywhere else. The app systematically fails during live broadcasts: the stream pauses itself in the background, chat loses messages, and emoji reactions periodically stop working for weeks at a time.

    Gelobt: Nowhere else has this concentration of live gaming streams with active chats and unique creators.

    Kritik: The stream pauses and interrupts without user action, destroying the main advantage of live viewing.

    Für wen: Fans of specific streamers for whom Twitch is irreplaceable.

  34. DIRECTV: TV & Movie Streaming

    Platz 37. Wert aus Rezensionen: 45 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 582.895 Bewertungen

    The app works as a mobile extension of a cable package and is valued for letting you watch familiar channels away from home including sports and regional news. That said, streaming of major events often freezes, and channel availability shrinks noticeably when you travel outside your region.

    Gelobt: Full mobile access to your cable subscription including DVR recordings.

    Kritik: Streaming is unstable during major sports events and frequently drops.

    Für wen: Existing DirecTV subscribers who need mobile access to their package.

  35. The NBC App – Stream TV Shows

    Platz 38. Wert aus Rezensionen: 45 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 288.103 Bewertungen

    The official NBC app gives access to shows and sports without a paid subscription, but watch progress is not saved, AirPlay is unreliable, and live streams require a cable provider link.

    Gelobt: Sports and fresh episodes of popular shows are available for free for in-country viewers.

    Kritik: The app does not remember where the viewer stopped, and starts from the beginning at the next session.

    Für wen: Viewers without cable TV who want to follow NBC shows and sports.

  36. DAZN: Stream Live Sports

    Platz 39. Wert aus Rezensionen: 44 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 603.770 Bewertungen

    The only platform that brings key boxing promoters under one roof, which is valuable in itself for combat sports fans. However live event streaming is unstable, bookmarked positions in recordings are not saved, and the interface offers no intuitive way to switch from a live broadcast to a replay.

    Gelobt: A concentration of top boxing promotions and world championships in a single app.

    Kritik: Live streams often buffer, and the position in a recording is not saved when you leave the live view.

    Für wen: Boxing and combat sports fans who have no alternative source for broadcasts.

  37. GoodShort - Short Dramas Hub

    Platz 40. Wert aus Rezensionen: 44 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,9★ · 496.747 Bewertungen

    A collection of short melodramatic series with engaging story hooks but a very aggressive monetization model: five ad views per day across the entire catalog is far too few to finish even one series in a reasonable amount of time.

    Gelobt: Episodes of 2-5 minutes are perfect for filling short breaks during the day without requiring deep engagement.

    Kritik: The limit of five ad-supported views per day across the entire catalog makes free consumption practically impossible.

    Für wen: Those who watch melodramas in short sessions and are willing to pay per episode.

  38. DISH Anywhere

    Platz 41. Wert aus Rezensionen: 44 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 258.325 Bewertungen

    The app's main value, access to DISH recordings and live broadcast on the go, is unreliable: the DVR regularly fails to display recordings, rewind is broken, and only one stream per account is allowed. For Hopper travelers it is still better than nothing.

    Gelobt: Ability to watch recorded shows and live broadcast anywhere in the world with a Hopper.

    Kritik: DVR functionality often does not work: recordings do not appear and pause-rewind is unresponsive.

    Für wen: DISH subscribers who travel frequently.

  39. CBS

    Platz 42. Wert aus Rezensionen: 44 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 70.541 Bewertungen

    The CBS app covers the need to watch current episodes of network shows, and the basic use case works acceptably. However, ads are excessive and sometimes block playback, the archive depth is limited without a paid Paramount+ subscription, and the catalog shrinks as content moves to the parent platform.

    Gelobt: CBS network show fans are glad to watch episodes on the day they air without a cable subscription.

    Kritik: The archive is open for only the last few episodes; everything else requires a separate Paramount+ subscription.

    Für wen: Viewers of specific CBS series who do not want to pay for Paramount+ just for a few shows.

  40. Watch OWN

    Platz 43. Wert aus Rezensionen: 44 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 40.835 Bewertungen

    Watch OWN has a good catalog of daytime talk shows, reality, and dramas from the Oprah Network, but the app requires a cable provider and systematically loses authorization. Without re-syncing with the provider every few days, watching is impossible.

    Gelobt: The full OWN catalog with same-day episode loading including Love and Marriage and Greenleaf.

    Kritik: The app does not remember the position within an episode and requires re-linking the provider after every authentication failure.

    Für wen: Loyal OWN audiences who have a cable package that includes the channel.

  41. Spectrum TV

    Platz 44. Wert aus Rezensionen: 42 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 557.185 Bewertungen

    The app handles the basic task of mobile access to a cable package under normal conditions, but fails systematically at exactly the moments it is needed most: during live broadcasts of major games. The recording scheduler stopped working, and streaming resolution is often reduced with no manual override.

    Gelobt: Ability to watch subscribed channels from any device without additional equipment.

    Kritik: Streaming is unstable during peak load, and the recording scheduler stopped working after updates.

    Für wen: Spectrum subscribers who need occasional mobile access to channels.

  42. ID GO - Stream Live TV

    Platz 45. Wert aus Rezensionen: 42 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 78.398 Bewertungen

    ID GO offers a good catalog of crime shows and lets you watch new episodes on the day they air, but provider authorization periodically resets and ad breaks during scrubbing are more disruptive than in competing apps.

    Gelobt: Crime genre fans are glad to watch their favorite shows on the day they air without missing a single episode.

    Kritik: The cable provider authorization session resets regularly with no apparent reason.

    Für wen: Dedicated Investigation Discovery viewers who watch crime shows every day.

  43. YouTube TV

    Platz 46. Wert aus Rezensionen: 42 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 3,6★ · 59.227 Bewertungen

    YouTube TV offers wide channel coverage and multi-device viewing, but the app has degraded: the guide is sluggish, channel switching freezes, and sports picture quality is still at 720p. The product feels like live TV with an unfinished interface.

    Gelobt: Unlimited cloud DVR storage and access to most sports channels in one place.

    Kritik: The program guide interface is broken after updates: switching a channel blacks out the screen, and series in the library reset to unwatched.

    Für wen: Sports fans who need live sports and broadcast TV without a satellite dish.

  44. FilmRise

    Platz 47. Wert aus Rezensionen: 42 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 17.203 Bewertungen

    A solid free library of classics, documentaries, and crime shows, but search barely works, navigation is outdated, and the device runs noticeably hotter than with other streaming apps.

    Gelobt: Rare free access to full seasons of classic series like Forensic Files.

    Kritik: Search does not distinguish between films and series and struggles to find content even by exact title.

    Für wen: Viewers of niche retro content and documentaries.

  45. Telemundo: Series y TV en vivo

    Platz 48. Wert aus Rezensionen: 41 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 337.900 Bewertungen

    Spanish-language streaming with telenovelas and sports, but the app frequently freezes, zip-code-based location detection is unreliable, and the volume of ads is disproportionate even for a free service.

    Gelobt: Live sports and telenovelas in Spanish are available without a subscription.

    Kritik: Zip-code geolocation is unreliable and blocks access to content that was playing moments before.

    Für wen: Spanish-speaking audiences in the US who follow telenovelas and FIFA broadcasts.

  46. Sling: Live TV, Sports & News

    Platz 49. Wert aus Rezensionen: 41 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 242.190 Bewertungen

    Sling offers a flexible package structure and a wide channel selection, but a DVR that silently drops recordings and an unstable app make basic tasks a lottery. The program guide runs with errors.

    Gelobt: Flexible channel packages with no long-term contract and a cloud DVR.

    Kritik: The DVR quietly stops recording without warning if you start watching before it finishes.

    Für wen: Cord-cutters looking for a cable TV replacement.

  47. Drama Pops - Reel Shorts TV

    Platz 50. Wert aus Rezensionen: 41 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 23.428 Bewertungen

    Drama Pops offers a vertical short-drama format with appealing stories and decent production quality, but the ticket system is broken: free ad-supported views freeze, and episodes already started slip behind a paywall without warning.

    Gelobt: Vertical mini-dramas with emotional storylines that pull you in from the first episode.

    Kritik: The free ad-ticket system is unreliable, and content moves behind a VIP lock mid-viewing without warning.

    Für wen: Viewers of vertical dramas who are willing to pay for a smooth experience.

  48. ReelShort - Stream Drama & TV

    Platz 51. Wert aus Rezensionen: 40 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 424.274 Bewertungen

    Short vertical drama content is engaging, but the coin mechanic is designed so that earned coins can be deducted without the user knowing, and marketing channel ads do not match the real in-app experience.

    Gelobt: The vertical format and melodramatic storylines hold attention in short sessions.

    Kritik: Coins are charged for previously watched episodes on re-access, which feels like a dishonest mechanic.

    Für wen: Fans of vertical short dramas who are comfortable with a paid model.

  49. HGTV GO - Stream Live TV

    Platz 52. Wert aus Rezensionen: 40 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 49.714 Bewertungen

    HGTV GO gives access to the renovation and interior design show catalog, but cable provider authorization breaks regularly and requires re-linking multiple times a day. The content itself is well-liked, but the technical barrier at entry pushes users away.

    Gelobt: The full HGTV catalog including House Hunters, Home Town, and other popular renovation and real-estate shows.

    Kritik: Cable provider linking drops multiple times a day, and some episodes are blocked with a false message saying the channel is not in your package.

    Für wen: Cable subscribers with HGTV in their package who want to watch on a phone or tablet.

  50. KICK - Live Streaming

    Platz 53. Wert aus Rezensionen: 39 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 126.327 Bewertungen

    Kick attracts audiences with its liberal content policy and generous creator terms, but the technical platform is still in beta mode: the app crashes every 20-30 minutes, Chromecast casting does not work, and AirPlay is unreliable.

    Gelobt: A free-speech policy and fewer restrictions pull streamers and their audiences away from other platforms.

    Kritik: The app crashes without warning every 20-30 minutes during both VOD and live stream viewing.

    Für wen: Viewers of streamers who moved from Twitch to Kick.

  51. Peacock TV: Stream TV & Movies

    Platz 54. Wert aus Rezensionen: 38 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 3.469.088 Bewertungen

    A streaming service with NBC content, live sports, and reality shows that systematically fails the basic viewing scenario: the app does not remember the episode position after leaving the background, and the interface is clearly built around ad placement rather than navigation convenience. The originals catalog is thin and dependent on NBC licensed content.

    Gelobt: The only place for certain live sports broadcasts and NBC exclusives that cannot be found elsewhere.

    Kritik: The app regularly loses the viewing position and restarts the episode from the beginning after any interruption, forcing you to find your place again.

    Für wen: NBC show fans and live sports viewers willing to tolerate an unreliable player.

  52. Rumble: Live Streaming, Videos

    Platz 55. Wert aus Rezensionen: 38 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 527.401 Bewertungen

    A video platform for alternative content creators with serious playback problems: live streams freeze, background audio breaks after every update, and scrubbing controls are awkward. The catalog exists but watching is technically uncomfortable.

    Gelobt: A wide selection of podcasts and political shows not available on other platforms.

    Kritik: The recommendation algorithm promotes only large channels and ignores smaller creators.

    Für wen: Fans of independent American media and political podcasts.

  53. Angel: Stream TV & Movies

    Platz 56. Wert aus Rezensionen: 38 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,9★ · 282.139 Bewertungen

    A niche service with original content for family audiences, but the technical platform is openly raw: streaming drops out and playback errors are frequent. The catalog is small and growing slowly.

    Gelobt: Original family series and films not available on mainstream platforms.

    Kritik: Streaming is unstable even on a good connection, and the catalog is very narrow.

    Für wen: Angel Studios fans with specific titles in mind.

  54. Clapper: Video, Live, Chat

    Platz 57. Wert aus Rezensionen: 38 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 78.781 Bewertungen

    Clapper was conceived as an adult alternative to TikTok with a focus on live streaming and community, but the recommendation algorithm is weak, moderation lets aggressive and unwanted content through, and AI accounts without labeling undermine trust in the feed.

    Gelobt: Content creators value the atmosphere without age restrictions and the freedom to say what they think.

    Kritik: The content recommendation algorithm is significantly weaker than competitors and often shows irrelevant streams in foreign languages without subtitles.

    Für wen: Creators of adult content and viewers tired of strict moderation on large platforms.

  55. FREECABLE TV: News & TV Shows

    Platz 58. Wert aus Rezensionen: 38 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 44.851 Bewertungen

    FreeCable positions itself as a free news and shows aggregator, but most content links to external paid platforms or YouTube. The news feed does not update, and the trending section shows articles that are months old.

    Gelobt: Zero cost of entry and news clips from various channels gathered in one place.

    Kritik: The trending section has not been updated in months, and the server returns errors when attempting to watch full-length films.

    Für wen: Those who want to browse free news clips without a subscription.

  56. Food Network GO - Live TV

    Platz 59. Wert aus Rezensionen: 38 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 33.088 Bewertungen

    The app works as a live companion to the cable channel, but the catalog thins season after season and access to recipes from on-air shows has effectively disappeared. Its value as a video platform is declining.

    Gelobt: Convenient live Food Network viewing on the go without freezing.

    Kritik: The archive of past seasons has been sharply cut: many favorite shows are gone entirely, and those that remain offer only one season.

    Für wen: Cable subscribers who want to watch the current broadcast on their phone.

  57. AsianCrush - Movies & TV

    Platz 60. Wert aus Rezensionen: 38 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 23.444 Bewertungen

    AsianCrush holds rare Asian films over the years, which is valuable in itself, but the catalog is not being updated with new series, there is no favorites feature, and the interface only works in portrait mode.

    Gelobt: A deep archive collection of Asian cinema with rare Thai, Korean, and Japanese titles.

    Kritik: No ongoing new series and the favorites section has not been implemented in years.

    Für wen: Fans of niche Asian cinema rather than current dramas.

  58. DramaReels: Dramas and Series

    Platz 61. Wert aus Rezensionen: 38 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,9★ · 17.825 Bewertungen

    A catalog of short Asian dramas with unstable dubbing and an immature product: some stories cut off mid-plot, and the app itself is clearly unfinished on iOS 26.

    Gelobt: A large library of short episodes available to watch for free through ads.

    Kritik: Dubbing is frequently out of sync or delivered at the wrong speed, and storylines often end without resolution.

    Für wen: Fans of short Asian dramas who are not bothered by quality issues.

  59. DramaShorts: Watch TV & Shows

    Platz 62. Wert aus Rezensionen: 37 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,4★ · 18.533 Bewertungen

    DramaShorts has a varied catalog of short dramas including LGBTQ+ content, but the monetization model is aggressive to the point of absurdity: ticket prices increase with each episode, free ad-supported watches yield too few coins, and free episodes in the middle of a series suddenly move behind a paywall.

    Gelobt: A wide selection of vertical dramas across different genres including rare same-sex content.

    Kritik: Ticket costs for episodes gradually increase within a single series, making continued viewing progressively more expensive.

    Für wen: Short drama fans willing to pay regularly per episode.

  60. WATCH IT: Drama,Movies

    Platz 63. Wert aus Rezensionen: 36 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,3★ · 20.177 Bewertungen

    Watch It carries current Egyptian content but lacks offline downloads, picture-in-picture, and proper English subtitles, which limits it to Arabic-speaking users inside the country.

    Gelobt: Current Egyptian and Arabic content including new seasons of popular series.

    Kritik: No download for offline viewing despite having a solid catalog for travelers.

    Für wen: Egyptians and the Arabic diaspora watching local series.

  61. Amazon Prime Video

    Platz 64. Wert aus Rezensionen: 35 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 3.004.288 Bewertungen

    A large video catalog including Amazon Studios originals, but with systematic failures of key features: continue watching gets the position wrong in roughly half of cases, purchased films do not sync across devices, and AI-powered search is confusing to navigate. The basic viewing scenario is unreliable.

    Gelobt: A wide catalog with unique Amazon Studios originals available to Prime subscribers at no extra charge.

    Kritik: The continue-watching feature breaks the episode position in half of cases, and purchased content does not appear on other devices.

    Für wen: Existing Amazon Prime subscribers who occasionally want to watch something.

  62. My Drama - Stream Short Dramas

    Platz 65. Wert aus Rezensionen: 35 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 51.068 Bewertungen

    My Drama offers short-form dramas with gripping storylines, but the monetization model is structured so that viewers must spend coins on every episode lasting about a minute. The enjoyment of the content is constantly interrupted by a financial barrier.

    Gelobt: Short dramas with a fast pace are great for watching in breaks, and the stories draw you in.

    Kritik: Every episode costs coins, and there are almost no free ways to earn them, making viewing expensive even with a subscription.

    Für wen: Those who want bite-sized dramas for short breaks and are willing to pay per episode.

  63. AnimeKai : Watch Anime

    Platz 66. Wert aus Rezensionen: 35 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,3★ · 13.696 Bewertungen

    A wide anime library without a subscription, but videos freeze with a timeout error for a large share of users, making basic playback unreliable.

    Gelobt: A large dubbed anime catalog available for free without registration.

    Kritik: Videos often fail to start due to server errors, and the problem occurs regardless of connection quality.

    Für wen: Anime viewers who can live with instability.

  64. DramaBox - Stream Drama Shorts

    Platz 67. Wert aus Rezensionen: 34 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 767.504 Bewertungen

    Short drama content itself draws genuine audience interest, but the format forcibly splits every story into paid micro-episodes of around 90 seconds, turning viewing into a continuous coin calculation. The introduction of AI actors instead of real people breaks the atmosphere.

    Gelobt: The vertical mini-drama genre works as a format and keeps attention between episodes.

    Kritik: Each episode lasts about 90 seconds and the coin system makes uninterrupted viewing impossible without constant stops.

    Für wen: Drama fans with a high tolerance for fragmented viewing.

  65. Xfinity Stream

    Platz 68. Wert aus Rezensionen: 32 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 246.455 Bewertungen

    A companion app to a cable subscription with a fundamental limitation: many channels and games are unavailable outside the home due to licensing blocks, which completely undermines the idea of watching from anywhere. Technically mediocre.

    Gelobt: Convenient for second-screen viewing inside the home network.

    Kritik: Licensing geo-blocks make watching sports while traveling practically impossible.

    Für wen: Xfinity subscribers who only watch at home.

  66. IPTV Smart Player

    Platz 69. Wert aus Rezensionen: 32 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 25.778 Bewertungen

    A functional IPTV player for users who already have a working M3U or Xtream provider, but without a provider the app offers nothing, and support does not respond to setup questions.

    Gelobt: Supports M3U playlists and Xtream Codes with a readable interface on iPhone.

    Kritik: No built-in catalog or demo channels: a user without IPTV experience has no idea what to do after installing.

    Für wen: Technical users with an existing IPTV provider and an M3U link.

  67. ZEE5 Movies, Web Series, Shows

    Platz 70. Wert aus Rezensionen: 32 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 23.878 Bewertungen

    ZEE5 carries a large Bollywood catalog, but basic things break: subtitles disappear, the watchlist resets, and playback freezes. The content niche is there, but execution is weak.

    Gelobt: A wide selection of Indian series and films not available on other platforms.

    Kritik: Subtitles do not work reliably, the watchlist is lost after updates, and autoplay periodically breaks.

    Für wen: The diaspora missing Indian content.

  68. Hooked TV

    Platz 71. Wert aus Rezensionen: 32 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 11.613 Bewertungen

    An app with short-form romantic stories in a vertical video style. The content finds its audience, but technical login and loading problems push most users away before they ever watch a single episode.

    Gelobt: Those who make it to the content note the light, tight stories in the romance genre for short leisure time.

    Kritik: The login screen blocks users: many cannot reach the content due to a frozen splash screen or a payment loop.

    Für wen: Fans of short romantic series.

  69. DramaWave - Dramas & Reels

    Platz 72. Wert aus Rezensionen: 31 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,9★ · 114.735 Bewertungen

    Short drama content is attractive, but the product logic is built maximally against the viewer: one episode costs 98 coins, ads do not always register, and more and more episodes are being filmed with AI actors instead of real performers.

    Gelobt: Viewers happily spend hours in a short drama marathon on weekends.

    Kritik: Content is rapidly moving to AI-generated video, which noticeably lowers the quality of the stories themselves.

    Für wen: Short vertical drama fans with patience for aggressive monetization.

  70. Lifetime: TV Shows & Movies

    Platz 73. Wert aus Rezensionen: 30 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 3,7★ · 15.292 Bewertungen

    The Lifetime catalog has recognizable shows, but the player glitches on transitions between ads and content, and in-app navigation is awkward. Most of the audience is here solely for Dance Moms.

    Gelobt: The full archive of signature Lifetime shows in one place.

    Kritik: The player loses its position when returning from ads and skips fragments of content.

    Für wen: Fans of signature Lifetime shows.

  71. BIGO LIVE-Live Stream, Go Live

    Platz 74. Wert aus Rezensionen: 29 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,5★ · 224.184 Bewertungen

    A live streaming platform with a wide audience but a systemic failure to address fraud and bots in recommendations. Content filtering is unpredictable: it does not block real violators but bans innocent users for extended periods.

    Gelobt: A lively atmosphere and a variety of streamers from different countries.

    Kritik: The recommendation algorithm does not account for user preferences and ignores profile settings.

    Für wen: Viewers of global live streams without strict safety requirements.

  72. Likee - Video, Live, Chat

    Platz 75. Wert aus Rezensionen: 28 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,5★ · 560.180 Bewertungen

    The app switched its concept from short video to live streaming, in the process making users' old content inaccessible, breaking account search, and replacing the video feed with live broadcasts populated by bots. For a video hosting platform this is a regression in core features.

    Gelobt: Previously offered a simple tool for publishing short videos with an active community.

    Kritik: The video feed has effectively been removed in favor of live streams, and all user-uploaded content has become inaccessible.

    Für wen: Practically no one in its current state.

  73. TLC GO - Stream Live TV

    Platz 76. Wert aus Rezensionen: 28 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 118.452 Bewertungen

    TLC GO provides access to Discovery network content, but the ad-to-content ratio reaches absurdity: up to 40 minutes of ads for a 60-minute episode, with the same clips looping. AirPlay playback regularly resets to the beginning.

    Gelobt: The full TLC show catalog for those following specific series like 600 Pound Life.

    Kritik: Ad blocks are disproportionately long and not synced to natural breaks in the program, which destroys the viewing experience.

    Für wen: Dedicated fans of specific TLC shows with no alternative access.

  74. TV Guide: Streaming & Live TV

    Platz 77. Wert aus Rezensionen: 28 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,3★ · 115.037 Bewertungen

    What was once a useful TV guide has become a half-finished reference tool with outdated data, missing channel numbers, and a broken antenna section. Updates consistently remove working features rather than adding new ones.

    Gelobt: Users value the ability to quickly check a channel's schedule without turning on the TV.

    Kritik: Schedules sometimes show yesterday's or nonexistent programming, and show descriptions are truncated to useless fragments.

    Für wen: Linear television fans who want a quick look at the broadcast schedule.

  75. Playlet: Watch Short Dramas&TV

    Platz 78. Wert aus Rezensionen: 28 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 43.815 Bewertungen

    Playlet offers short dramas, but the monetization system is worse than competitors: 150 coins per 15-second episode, a daily cap on ad-watching, and cancellation that is deliberately made difficult. Content is generic and storylines repeat.

    Gelobt: Short stories with fast-moving plots hold attention in a short format.

    Kritik: Watch progress is not saved between sessions, so episodes have to be restarted from the beginning every time the app is reopened.

    Für wen: Casual short drama viewers with no intention of paying.

  76. ShortsWave: Watch Drama Series

    Platz 79. Wert aus Rezensionen: 28 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 29.330 Bewertungen

    Short melodramatic series are engaging on their own, but the monetization model is toxic: subscriptions made through the website cannot be canceled in the app, support does not respond for weeks, and charges keep coming.

    Gelobt: Short vertical dramatic episodes hold attention and create a desire to finish the story.

    Kritik: There is no built-in cancellation mechanism for users who subscribed through the web rather than the App Store.

    Für wen: Short melodrama fans who pay strictly through the App Store.

  77. MBC Shahid

    Platz 80. Wert aus Rezensionen: 28 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 3,0★ · 22.199 Bewertungen

    MBC Shahid has a real catalog of Arabic series, but the app systematically does not work: freezes on PS, login errors, disappearing accounts, and some users paying without being able to open anything.

    Gelobt: A catalog of Arabic and Turkish series, especially Ramadan content from MBC.

    Kritik: The app regularly stops working entirely on specific devices including Smart TVs and tablets.

    Für wen: Arabic-speaking audiences following MBC series.

  78. FlickReels: Short Drama Series

    Platz 81. Wert aus Rezensionen: 26 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,8★ · 97.161 Bewertungen

    Short stories as a format are liked, but the app systematically misleads users: subscriptions continue billing after cancellation, ads sometimes do not register, and support does not respond to emails.

    Gelobt: The brevity of stories suits those who want a complete plot in a few minutes without padding.

    Kritik: Episode descriptions are absent, making it impossible to understand the content of a story before starting.

    Für wen: Short vertical story fans who carefully monitor their subscription.

  79. Fios TV Mobile

    Platz 82. Wert aus Rezensionen: 22 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,5★ · 332.042 Bewertungen

    A Verizon Fios companion app with longstanding unresolved issues: DVR playback is unreliable, external channel access is limited to the home network, and live broadcast search is effectively absent.

    Gelobt: On good days it gives access to DVR recordings and cable channels directly from the phone.

    Kritik: External access outside the home network is blocked for most channels, which defeats the app's main purpose.

    Für wen: Verizon Fios subscribers who want to watch TV at home on a second screen.

  80. Bravo - Live Stream TV Shows

    Platz 83. Wert aus Rezensionen: 22 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,5★ · 101.244 Bewertungen

    Bravo survives entirely on the strength of franchises like The Real Housewives and Top Chef, because the app itself has been technically unstable for years: live broadcast glitches, Apple TV requires a weekly reinstall, and the video player gets stuck in portrait mode.

    Gelobt: Bravo content fans are glad to watch missed episodes at a convenient time.

    Kritik: Live broadcast navigation and playback are no more reliable than a 2010 flip phone.

    Für wen: Devoted fans of specific Bravo shows willing to live with constant technical failures.

  81. YouNow: Live Stream, Go Live

    Platz 84. Wert aus Rezensionen: 22 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,5★ · 28.977 Bewertungen

    A live streaming platform with a long-standing audience, but the moderation algorithm randomly bans streamers without violations, bots fill broadcasts with fake view counts, and protection from harmful content is inconsistent.

    Gelobt: Offers a real chance to earn money from live streams through virtual gifts from a live audience.

    Kritik: The age-detection and auto-ban system is too aggressive and frequently shuts down well-behaved streamers without explanation.

    Für wen: Adult content creators looking for live-stream monetization.

  82. LiveMe - Live Stream, Go live

    Platz 85. Wert aus Rezensionen: 18 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,0★ · 24.831 Bewertungen

    Gelobt: Long-time users find a global community and occasionally earn real money through virtual gifts.

    Kritik: The moderation system fails to catch clearly violating content, and the complaint mechanism is nearly useless for regular users.

    Für wen: Adult content creators who already have an established audience specifically on this platform.

  83. Sereal+ Short Drama, TV Series

    Platz 86. Wert aus Rezensionen: 18 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,5★ · 13.951 Bewertungen

    A short drama service with a coin system that consistently fails to credit coins and does not unlock access after payment. The content and subscription exist, but the access mechanism is unreliable.

    Gelobt: The stories hold attention and make you want to finish them.

    Kritik: The coin system regularly loses accumulated coins and does not unlock episodes watched through ads.

    Für wen: Patient fans of short dramas.

  84. U-verse

    Platz 87. Wert aus Rezensionen: 15 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,7★ · 389.715 Bewertungen

    A companion app to AT&T U-verse cable TV that crashes every 3-5 minutes on most devices and is not receiving proper maintenance since the service itself is being phased out. No key viewing scenario works reliably.

    Gelobt: When the app works, it lets you watch cable channels on your phone from home.

    Kritik: No ability to switch between devices and continue watching from the same position.

    Für wen: AT&T U-verse subscribers who have no alternative.

  85. Movie App - Movies Now! + TV

    Platz 88. Wert aus Rezensionen: 14 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 12.822 Bewertungen

    An aggregator that does not show films itself but redirects to third-party sources or charges per title. The catalog is there, but playback as such is absent.

    Gelobt: Users note a wide selection of titles in the catalog and a convenient title search.

    Kritik: No native playback: the app works as a link showcase with no player of its own.

  86. TV Cast for Samsung TV App

    Platz 89. Wert aus Rezensionen: 12 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 3,8★ · 30.218 Bewertungen

    The app claims to cast video to a Samsung TV but in practice does not work after payment, redirects to additional paid subscriptions, and blocks refunds. There is no product value.

    Gelobt: For some users with older Samsung TVs the free connection option between phone and TV occasionally worked.

    Kritik: There is no reliable casting mechanism: screen mirroring is unreliable and the paywall is broken into several consecutive paid steps.

    Für wen: Not recommended for anyone.

  87. Cinema HD - Movies & TV Shows

    Platz 90. Wert aus Rezensionen: 8 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,5★ · 27.218 Bewertungen

    The app does not play films: most attempts end in a redirect to YouTube or a black screen after the trailer, and ad inserts trigger on every screen tap.

    Gelobt: Some users with a configured Real-Debrid setup report the full catalog playing without restrictions.

    Kritik: Basic viewing without third-party add-ons does not work: films do not launch and instead show a trailer or an empty screen.

    Für wen: Technically savvy Real-Debrid users who know what they are doing.

  88. TopLive: Watch Live Streams

    Platz 91. Wert aus Rezensionen: 8 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 18.385 Bewertungen

    This is not a streaming service but a video dating app with a coin model. As a video viewing tool it barely exists.

    Gelobt: Lets you talk live with people from different countries.

    Kritik: Video calls drop every 30 seconds and fake accounts flood the feed.

    Für wen: Not suitable for video streaming.

  89. 123Movies ™

    Platz 92. Wert aus Rezensionen: 8 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 12.640 Bewertungen

    A shell app under the well-known 123Movies brand: it effectively shows trailers and ads instead of full-length films. Working playback has not been reported by users.

    Gelobt: Some users say the app once worked and provided access to a wide range of content.

    Kritik: Playback is broken systematically: instead of a film the user gets a trailer or an ad with no way out.

    Für wen: Effectively no one.

  90. Soap.2Days

    Platz 93. Wert aus Rezensionen: 5 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,6★ · 18.780 Bewertungen

    Soap.2Days is not a streaming service: the app shows only trailers and film descriptions, and real viewing is only possible through an external site in a browser with a VPN. As a standalone app it does not work.

    Gelobt: A convenient reference catalog for finding information about films and series.

    Kritik: The app does not play video at all, which is its primary stated function.

    Für wen: Nobody for streaming purposes, perhaps as a title reference at best.

  91. Live Football TV. Soccer Score

    Platz 94. Wert aus Rezensionen: 5 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,4★ · 15.268 Bewertungen

    The app promises live football streams but users consistently report no live matches and no way to cancel the subscription. In practice it is a schedule aggregator with non-functional streaming.

    Gelobt: The match schedule interface looks clean.

    Kritik: There are no live streams in the app despite the name and the paid subscription.

    Für wen: Not recommended for anyone.

  92. Movies Box & TV Show

    Platz 95. Wert aus Rezensionen: 4 von 100. App-Store-Bewertung: 4,3★ · 32.728 Bewertungen

    The app does not let you watch films inside itself: it redirects to YouTube or tells you where the content is available on other platforms. It is a hollow aggregator pretending to be a player.

    Gelobt: Sometimes helps find which service carries the film you need.

    Kritik: There is no playback at all: everything leads to a redirect to YouTube or external platforms.
