Im currently experiencing alot of play back errors. I cannot use this service that im paying for every month. No live chats to connect to customer service. Absolutely terrible! You guys up the subscription and the service gets worse, what are we paying for? Update 28/02/2025. I want to remove my payment details coz I canceled the subscription last month and the took the money from my card. Day light robbery. I can't even watch anything from the app!!

Ever since I updated to this recent version, it always displays "Viewing Stopped, pls contact online support if it persists." This happens at the point of opening the app. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app does not help, and it seems complaining to Showmax is a waste of time as they don't even want to understand the problem. I have tried different android phones and I keep getting the same message Pls kindly reverse back to the old version. Until then I can't give more than 1 star.

The subtitles keep showing languages that are not relevant to me. Even if the system language is set to English, it'll give me swahili subtitles. Its a system fault/error and it keeps happening which is so annoying if you're watching a show that needs subtitles. Otherwise the shows themselves are great, it's just the app that glitches and you can never fix it, it fixes itself somehow temporarily only to glitch again.
