Most-mentioned issues
- Make trials and renewals transparent: 51 of 224 1–3★ reviews. What to do: Show the renewal date and price before the trial ends; link to cancellation. Surprise charges drive 1-star reviews and refunds.
“Signed up for the trial to watch NASCAR in which it was ok. Canceled after my trial and was charged $80 still. Fubo claims there are no refunds. Basically got screwed for $80 to watch 30 min of TV. Way too expensive and customer service sucks.” (1★, v8.2.1, 2026-07-23, US) - Speed up loading: 35 of 224 1–3★ reviews. What to do: Profile cold start and the slowest screens on older devices; cache content.
“Fubo has constant buffering interruptions and lag, even on high-speed fiber optic wifi. Just terrible. Hopefully MLB and other sports franchises will phase it out or replace it with a better streaming service. Strangely the commercial breaks never have buffering issues or interru…” (1★, v8.6.2, 2026-10-12, US) - Fix in-use crashes and freezes: 22 of 224 1–3★ reviews. What to do: Match quoted actions to crash reports; ship a hotfix for the top stack trace.
“Froze on the first day of the World Cup, then through the games the quality wouldn’t reach 4K, I had to watch games like it was 1990, I don’t recommend this app” (1★, v8.0.1, 2026-06-23, US) - Justify or adjust the price: 19 of 224 1–3★ reviews. What to do: Test a cheaper tier, annual discount or one-time purchase; show what paid users get.
“As soon you sign up, it ask for payment method then start free trial if you like it, immediately charges your credit card. Not worth it! Very expensive monthly fee just to watch very few channels!” (1★, v8.6.2, 2026-10-12, US) - Fix login / account access: 17 of 224 1–3★ reviews. What to do: Audit the sign-in flow (SSO, password reset, verification emails) on the latest version; add clear error messages.
“The worst app interface I’ve ever had to use. First I couldn’t even finish the sign up process without being booted out to the menu every few minutes, and when I did finally create my account, I signed in and it said no plan is active. Just watch your sports somewhere else” (1★, v8.0.1, 2026-06-18, US) - Reduce ad frequency and length: 16 of 224 1–3★ reviews. What to do: Cap ads per session, avoid unskippable video, and never show ads in the middle of a core task.
“They claim 10 streaming devices on your home network and up to 3 streaming devices on the go outside your home network. This is not true, they don’t allow you to stream outside your home while streaming inside your home and the “on the go” must also be in the same location becaus…” (1★, v8.4.0, 2026-09-05, US)

Method and limits
Reviews were collected once from Apple's public customer-reviews feed (most recent first, 2 storefronts merged, up to 300 reviews). Star, month and version figures are plain counts of that sample. Theme and issue figures come from fixed keyword patterns (for example “subscription”, “charged”, “refund” for pricing) run on English-language 1–3★ reviews only; a keyword match is not a judgement of the review, so check the quotes. The paid report classifies every review with an AI model into 7 themes and 18 issues with severity. This is a snapshot of recent reviews, not the app's full history. Generated 24 October 2026. Not affiliated with fuboTV Inc. or Apple.
