Update: 07/26 After contacting technical support, they have fixed the issue. It seems that changing from a signature via an operator vs. signature directly via Google Play, caused the issue. I am improving the review, based on the fast response and fix from customer support. Awful app. If I could I would give 0 stars!! I am already an assistant, but the app keeps asking me to start a new start a new account. Simply dreadful!

Terrible... You pay the subscription and still have to watch ads. The app always has some glitches on my tv.

I'm Portuguese living in UK. I wanted to rewatch and show to friends some of the best Globo content. Everything seemed to be ok until I realised there's no subtitle options. I believe that's a major issue for a stream app in 2022. Positives: - loads of content - seems to be working fine, for the short time I used it, didn't find any issue. Negatives: - Lack of any type of subtitles or dub voice work - Almost £10 a month? Disney + is £8...

I love it (on Google TV, because on Samsung and LG is not that good as in Chromecast)

Literally the worst play-on-demand app currently available. How can something so bad go into production? A core feature of the app, of any app, the account login and plan subscription verification, just doesn't work! You pay for a service and just can't use it because the app incorrectly identifies the account's plan and prevents you from using that service. Normally you'd expect that such a defect would have its fix prioritized, but alas, the issue persists for MONTHS. Congrats Globo.

Just changed my review from 2 stars to 1. The app has a whole lot of ads, even the paid version. Globo says that only "free content" has ads but I don't see why that's impacting how subscribers experience the app. The app also crashes a lot and several contents never open and give a "connection error" both on the app and online (website). The service is pricey for what it delivers. I really hope they are working hard to improve the experience because right now it really isn't quite there yet.

I have been trying to subscribe to be able to access a few shows and Brazilian volleyball through the sport tv channels. Impossible to do it from the app, which is the only way to subscribe in Europe. After reading so many bad reviews I have changed my mind. Overpriced for what it is. It costs as much as Netflix but the service is not up to par. How can you launch an app in a foreign country without even offering subtitles in the countrie's language?? Thanks but no thanks.

This "app" is the worst, 9 out of 10 times it will not play the program you want to watch... Fix the playback on Roku, it is extremely glitchy!!!

I would love to have the novelas with English subtitles. We would definitely pay for a subscription. Also, more stable connections and a faster app would be great!

Not all series or novelas available which is a shame... also the ads are extremely irritating and it doesn't make any sense since I pay for the subscription. Why dont you guys follow YouTube's example? Another point is I can't easily fast forward or go backwards as easily like on netflix or other streaming apps. And finally but not less important, please make the novelas, series, programs available with English subtitles. You guys are known worldwide...

This app has most of my favorite telenovelas. It's the literal dream of most "noveleros de corazón" (as I say in Spanish: my primary language). Globoplay and Vix (Spanish language) are my two must used streaming services. If I'm not watching "A Cor do Pecado" on ya'll's app, is because I'm watching the MX version of "Amigas y Rivales" on Vix.

Terrible buffering and image quality. Even SD quality is almost impossible to watch continuously, if you get any HD frames, consider it a miracle. I can't believe they charge as much as they do, the stream is always pixelated and freezing no matter how fast the internet connection or device.

Disappointing. Performed the checkout process 3 times with different cards and none worked. Created another account. The subscription currency changed (?), but this time the payment worked. But then, the subscription didn't activate. The app doesn't have a support button. Contacted support through Facebook and their solution was to wait 4 days to cancel my subscription due to non-usage and retry. My subscription was canceled, in fact, but the reimbursement didn't arrive yet. Never again.

Live streaming for Globo doesn't work and keeps sending a message saying it's for subscribers only, even though I am an automatic payments subscriber. Their support takes too long to answer when I need them, and I'm always let down for a long period until they resolve the issue, which 99.9% of the time is theirs. They charge the subscription as if they were Netflix, but Netflix always works without problems, and Globoplay doesn't work decently in any device, extremely bad service.

I had a very disappointing experience with Globo. I paid for 2 months, yet was unable to access any shows, even though I was signed in and clearly could see that I should be able to watch!! I emailed their customer support at least 4 times, they didn't bother to ever respond. I am out nearly 30 dollars and my time being frustrated and disappointed. I was really looking forward to working on my Português. They have horrible customer service. No phone number, and they don't respond to emails.

There's problems with the app: it stopped loading the contents when I start the app from my Roku TV (it just keeps spinning and nothing comes up). When I use the app on my cellphone, it plays for a while then it dumps the show saying that the content is not available for viewing (I restart the show and then it runs for a while before dumping it again). This is all very frustrating when you're a paying customer...

No subtitles, nor available with sound in another language other than Portugués. Unfortunately, I don't speak or understand enough to be able to watch something without at least subtitles. Hopefully this changes in the future and is open for people that speak other languages. Very disappointed about this as there are Brazilian soap operas showing in many countries with subtitles or in the native language of the country it is being showed, like Spanish for example.

The 7 day free trial worths just to confirm how bad the app is. I really wanted to watch all the content specially from gnt, but the app crashes all the time, if you download the episodes it works but still crashes sometimes. For $14/month I would expect something better. Also some series you don't have access to the latest episodes. It also doesn't allow you to watch and use the phone at the sabe time, the picture and picture feature would help.

Probably the worst service I ever used. Tried to watch Carnival Feb 10, it played for 5 seconds and the image would freeze with the waiting icon. After a minute an ad would play just fine, in English. The show would resume, played another 5-10s, and it would repeat. I gave it a 10 min opportunity to fix itself. After that I went to watch a movie on a different service. Cancelling and not planning to return anytime soon. I read some of the reviews and decided to try when they had a promotion.
