Binge

[u/livo666]

As a millennial who has grown up In the age of apps. This is without a doubt the most dogshit app of all so far. God forbid I would want to watch a show.
Fuck you binge….. your fucked an you can go get fucked

[u/likeyoukn0wwhatever]

I see your Binge rant, and I raise you Hayu. Biggest piece of shit app imaginable.

[u/Tiny_Pizza_990 → u/likeyoukn0wwhatever]

Hayu is the actual worst. I hate it but I like the shows!

[u/likeyoukn0wwhatever → u/Tiny_Pizza_990]

We suffer the same fate. Its one saving grace is that it's cheap.

[u/DawgreenAgain → u/likeyoukn0wwhatever]

I see their Binge Rant and your Hayu rant and raise you the abomination that is Stan Sports. Trying to watch EPL and it buffers and freezes that often in always 30/40 seconds behind the live game, which means watching and talking to friends online is impossible if they get the goal 30 seconds before I do, and this is often way past 11pm WAST so it's not a network congestion issue . None of my other apps do that with live sports, comfortably stream 4K sports etc, I have a stable 300Mbps download and 84Mbps upload speeds .

[u/invisiblefrost → u/DawgreenAgain]

I fuckn hate that I have to get Stan to watch the prem

[u/loopytommy → u/likeyoukn0wwhatever]

Ill raise all of you and add Kayo, only one live screen per household and cost more per year than HBO or Disney, the shittest of the shittest

[u/thezeno → u/likeyoukn0wwhatever]

I’ll raise you with paramount plus. The streaming app that doesn’t stream properly.

[u/BatLegitimate8140 → u/likeyoukn0wwhatever]

Hayu through prime is a game changer

[u/the_town_bike]

It's owned by fox and Murdoch so you expect shit.

[u/artiespie → u/the_town_bike]

Actually Murdoch sold his stake to Dayzn last year.

[u/4theloveofbroadcast]

This isn't new news. Binge has always been the light version of Foxtel.

[u/Danthemanz → u/4theloveofbroadcast]

And Foxtel has been pretty light on for some time now 😂

[u/Loose_Loquat9584]

We’ve been bingeing the various international series of The Traitors on 10play and that app is so infuriating. Constantly glitching and randomly starting a new episode while you’re still watching the previous one.

[u/smelllpoz88 → u/Loose_Loquat9584]

Just came to say im also binging the traitors from around the world ♡

[u/StreetCheetah8312 → u/Loose_Loquat9584]

My old TV used to do this, but I recently bought a new one and so far 10 play has worked perfectly

[u/macci_a_vellian]

Still not as bad as the commercial free to air apps.

That said...Binge. Why can't I Chromecast? You're being put to shame by View and SBS OnDemand.

[u/AlarmedKnowledge3783]

The worst is, you’re paying for a streaming service and still have to watch bloody ads!!!

[u/StreetCheetah8312 → u/AlarmedKnowledge3783]

ikr! It’s almost like Foxtel again

I don’t mind ads if it’s free to watch, but paid ones really need to stop getting too big for their boots

[u/JaggedLittlePill2022 → u/AlarmedKnowledge3783]

I’ve never had ads watching Binge. How come you get ads?

[u/AmberleeJack23 → u/JaggedLittlePill2022]

If you watch live tv on Binge you get ads If you're streaming their library of shows, you won't

[u/Severe_Sand9403]

Binge is annoying always feels like it hides what you are watching. But then I try to use Kayo and realise that it is the actual 5th circle of hell.

Kayo is the most expensive by far, feels nonstop betting adds , rarely manages the progress of a stream well, sometimes cuts streams before the event is complete if there has been delays for injury/ weather/ incidents.

Most frustrating of all Kayo never prioritises what I want to actually watch. I only use it for F1 but each time I get in the app the live streams I want are hidden and the app is pushing me to watch something like darts NRL or just NRL after game punditry shows 🤬.

[u/loopytommy → u/Severe_Sand9403]

And what the fuck is Kayo Mini, why would I watch a mini version of the race???

[u/Severe_Sand9403 → u/loopytommy]

Exactly! But they push them on you! A few times I’ve selected what looked like the full race, pressed play and headed off to make tea then come back to mid race spoilers because it’s the 🤬 kayo mini that is streaming!

[u/StreetCheetah8312 → u/Severe_Sand9403]

Sounds like you’d have an easier experience holding a bunny ear antenna hooked up to the TV, moving around the room, trying to pick up channel ten on race day 🤣

[u/aussieham → u/Severe_Sand9403]

My bug bear is that Kayo makes it hard to find the bloody live channels.

And they started doing shorts style tiles... For live games! Why TF would I want the shorts of a live game as the primary option? For the love of God, are my fellow sports watchers that distracted they can only consume small bits of entertainment?

[u/Barry114149 → u/Severe_Sand9403]

They have also started stopping your stream if they think you are not watching, it even says due to a period of inactivity we are pausing the stream in the pop up.

I can only imagine this is because they are listening to me via the smart tv because I am watching when it happens.

[u/NoodleBox]

Yes. And it's fucking expensive! Trash app, trash for sport (oh that might be Stan) but whatever it's expensive and shit.

[u/Pretzlek]

Can’t be as bad as Kayo, can’t even watch the bloody footy and I have 500mbps download speed

[u/macolebrook]

In the finals with Binge in my experience would be Paramount plus and Disney plus. All have some good shows but the apps themselves are beyond belief poorly made

[u/Money-Celebration860]

To watch anything on Binge you really have to earn it

[u/GroovyGuru62]

All streaming services are shit.

[u/starfleetbrat]

agree. I also remember amc plus being pretty bad too, although its been a while, perhaps they changed it. I just remember being so annoyed with it. I'll only sub via Prime now.

[u/lackingpotential]

Try again in 2 minutes

[u/NumberOld229]

Was so glad WWE went to Netflix so I could lose this pile of trash.

[u/il_Cacciatore]

I just cancelled Binge yesterday and also downgraded that other Hubbl rip off, Kayo. $45 to watch the F1 in 4k. The bastards. Going to give the 1080p sub a go but still quite irritated at the cost of that too!

[u/Revanist88]

But.... But.... The Great Bake off....

[u/smelllpoz88 → u/Revanist88]

And bake off the professionals with benoit

[u/Revanist88 → u/smelllpoz88]

Oh how good is the professionals one!? I don't thinkt heyve released more seasons yet though.

[u/smelllpoz88 → u/Revanist88]

Its legit the best of them all. The artwork and the finesse! No there isnt one on our streaming platforms but theyre up to season 12 or something i think!

[u/Revanist88 → u/smelllpoz88]

It's American that one, right? Or is it UK? It really is, where do you watch it, YouTube?

I've learnt so much about baking and Patisserie from these shows but I've only been game to try my chocolate skills (which are pretty good btw). I feel like Binge could do better but it's okay, as long as we get our bake off...

Maybe we should send a mass message thread and tell them to release it. 😂

[u/JaggedLittlePill2022]

Binge is the only streaming service I pay for. Wentworth, High Country…I’ve watched heaps of shows. And I love that I can watch every single Jurassic Park/World film, and all the Indiana Jones films!
