Update after 18 months. Many version updates, no improvements. Same garbage app and service from a mediocre company... You give it your subscriber info but it doesnt remember any of your preferences (subscribed, favorites, etc) - it always defaults to showing all available content. This is still a terrible app for mediocre and expensive paytv service. Another peeve - message box notifications pop up on screen and must be manually cleared before they are out of your face.

Watchlist constantly crashing now; searching programmes will show you reboardcast time instead of the live ones; you can't use playback option to rewatch the moments you have missed; it does not remind you or shows notifications for shows on your Watchlist even when they are available . The App needs a massive upgrade to deserve anything remotely above a 1-Star rating.

I don't get what all the complaints about it being hard to use, been using it for years and it's been clear and easy. Some bugs to fix i.e. Favorites duplicating and only 1 of the 3 copies of one channel working otherwise I would have given it 5 stars

Disappointing for last update The last episode is always malfunction, no matter which mobile i used, even i downloaded it, it cannot be played...how frustrated to hv no final episode after putting all the time watching it. Eg. The Serpent Queen, new Amsterdam 5, Magpie murders...etc...

If there's one thing that's guaranteed, whatever PCCW do, they will make it hard for you. This app is as poor as their customer service. It must be their hundredth attempt at it and as ever, they think tech before the end user. When there's snow in hell, you'll know NOWTV are actually thinking about their customers before themselves. The worst thing is, it's still better than using the actual TV menu system.

Cannot load the program properly all the time. Respond very slow after app successfully in connecting. Obviously cheap in getting proper server hardware resources and network planning. Absolutely unacceptable from a paid subscriber point of view. 😡😡😡
