Dear SBS,You’ve absolutely cooked this World Cup... in the best possible way.At the start of the tournament I sent an email asking if you could add 10-second rewind and forward buttons. Whether it was my email or the collective cries of thousands of sleep-deprived football fans, you listened and delivered. Those little buttons have become the MVP of the tournament. Rewatching screamers, shocking misses, VAR chaos and celebrations without wrestling the timeline has been brilliant.And can we talk about the highlights? They're up so quickly it's like you've got someone uploading them before the final whistle. For those of us surviving on 3am kick-offs and pretending to be productive at work the next day, the fast turnaround has been an absolute lifesaver.The whole tournament has been top class—great commentary, quality analysis, smooth streaming, and no feeling like you're being milked by another streaming platform.Which brings me to my very serious, completely unbiased proposal...Can SBS please hijack the Premier League rights? I'd happily pay SBS $30 a month instead of collecting streaming subscriptions like they're Pokémon cards. At this rate I'd trust you with the Champions League while you're at it.Thanks for reminding everyone how good football coverage can be. More football on SBS, please. The people have spoken... or at least this football tragic has. ⚽👏Franklin

I’ve been using this app for years and it just keeps getting better with kinks and search algorithms/criteria being constantly improved on. Keep up the good work SBS. A treasure trove of good movies and tv shows. Usually much better than the other apps going around, let alone ones that you have to pay for. Thanks again. Not everyone in Australia can afford to pay for streaming services and SBS is a support for many sections of our community. This is not something that particular people (or politicians) understand about, especially those who claim to be for the common person but are bankrolled by billionaires. Love you SBS. And keep on improving the already great SBSonDemand app/platform.

As most of the other reviews say- using the app on my phone is usually okay except for the obscene amount of ads. I understand it’s a “free app” and so you can expect some ads, but there are sooo many on this app that it almost makes streaming from it not worth it. The bigger issues that seem to have been reported many times but unfortunately have not been rectified are the lagging/ buffering/ glitching while playing on a tv or similar. I’ve been trying to catch up on World Cup matches and when I start the replay firstly it starts playing an ad with the broadcast over top and it won’t stop until I turn my tv off. Then once I do get it back on and into the replay and start watching the match, it lags/ buffers like you wouldn’t believe. The players look like claymation! So I have to pause it wait for it to load up and then play for about 10 mins before doing it again. Rather than taking 2 hours to watch a match, it’s taking more than 3!!! Very frustrating. I’ve also checked my internet and it’s perfectly fine so it’s definitely the app. As I said, it’s sad to see this same issue reported many times over the last few years and yet nothing seems to have been done about it? If you can find your program or movie somewhere else then I would suggest avoiding this app.

Running this app on my iPad is sort of ok (if I restart it often) but using the app on my Samsung tv or even just casting to it results in errors that make it unusable. The main error is that an ad break will start but the first ad just freezes in the screen and does not play or stop or anything. You need to quit the app/ stop casting to continue and then you need to go through the whole business all over again. Tedious. It is intermittent though - might successfully play an ad break before the error but it does error on the 2nd or 3rd ad break. Other teething issues are annoying, e.g. the app constantly does not remember the menu I am in, restarting all the time, even if I just briefly switch to another app or reply to a notification onscreen. This is also what happens when I click “App Support” in the App Store - it just takes me to the app opening menu which is not helpful for logging any kind of feedback. I have since abandoned the tedium of trying to watch anything on the SBS app.
