12+: An Israeli Streaming App

I was using it for more than a year. The content is fine, but the user interface is buggy. It shows you large icon of news at the top, but it doesn’t refresh and never opens. The workaround is to go to a smaller news icon, click to load, abort and then mostly the large icon refreshes. Every month on the renewal date, you can’t open any program. It took a while to figure out that you need to go to subscription, logout and log in again. Recently they didn’t update the daily news at all. I reported to their support line all the problems but none were solved. I finally terminated my subscription to this App.

Didn’t expect much (based on past experience with Mako apps) but even my minimal expectations were not met. The app is full of bugs (both on the iPhone and AppleTV). Live broadcast gets stuck and I got kicked out back to the main menu every 5-10 minutes. In some cases I was only able to go back to a news broadcast re-run from 30 minutes earlier and lost the ability to watch a live soccer game. The most frustrating part is that the iPhone app offered $3.99 add-free monthly subscription with a 1st free month. My attempt to subscribe on the phone was met with “fail” messages. Instead, I downloaded the AppleTV app (which didn’t mention a 1st free month or ad free option). That app has more glitches than I’ve ever seen. Amazingly the following day I got a $3.99 bill from Apple for each of the apps (iPhone and AppleTV). Unfortunately, unlike the Israeli channel 13 app (which is also free and works great) this Mako app costs money but works terribly. Such a shame. I was so excited to see it on the App Store. Do better, higher a real developer, and take your jobs seriously!

Not only do you pay a subscription but every click in the app brings you to a mandatory commercial, which is so annoying, i need many times to leave the app- as the repetition of the same commercial drives me insane, having them in the first place after you pay for the channel is horrible. Otherwise, i enjoy the programs.
