I don't know how channel 7 gets the time spent on ads within an hour show past the regulators? Even their world cup coverage is saturated with repetitive ads. We watch another show on Fox and record what we want then fast forward the ads if on 7.
I’m all for free to air availability for big games. But having exclusive coverage without basic features like stream from start if your late to the game is ridiculous
Absolutely disappointing telecast of Bathurst. Add brakes too long, and happening at interesting moments in the race. Whoever is coordinating the camera changes needs to be sacked, the rapid swapping of views made it almost impossible to get a feel for the race. Cutting to the stupid Hino screen for incessant over analysing of a small moment or to… Read more
spend endless moments talking about some adjustments that can be made to a car is infuriating. We want to watch a race not have a classroom lesson. So sad and does nothing to promote the race.

Absolute waste of my hard earned money – I get that times are hard for all, but this is not chicken. Sorry but its horrible. 1st and last time.
I get it, it's free and that's why some use it, but it honestly one of the worst streaming services I've ever used. From the up to 17 minutes of ads per hour to the terrible quality of the videos themselves(pixelated, low resolution, etc)(I have a 500Mbps service for reference, I can stream 4K content on multiple devices without issue), and the… Read more
nauseatingly repetitive ads, it makes shows especially unwatchable, you lose the cadence of the show when ads appear at inopportune times.
I tried watching The Rookie, as 7/plus have an exclusive deal with ABC US to be the only ones to stream/air it here in Australia, well new seasons anyway, 12 months later Netflix/Disney get them, and I just couldn't do it, maybe I've been ruined by paid streaming, and the fact I haven't watched FTA TV in more than 15 years.
I had a reply from their support on playstore, and they simply don't care, more than half the reviews are due to the sickening amount of ads, they stated due to their television services modelling themselves on a 17 minutes per 60 minutes of content, that is what they decided to use, or slightly less, but after timing my ad content on a 43+/- episode I saw 15.5 minutes of ads, so close enough, more if you account for the 40+/- minute average length of most modern TV shows.
Once again I get it it's free and ad supported, but unless you are desperate it's just not a good service, its multiple faults give it a one star rating, if I could give less I would.
Just doesn't work,you have re install, and then it may work. Tech department doesn't reply
"Error, cant play 7+ at this time." Hopeless streaming medium. After resetting, it doesnt recall where you were up to. Have to choose episode and place again.
I stream on a LOT of services and this is by far the buggiest. Reauires constant refreshing....signs me out multiple times in a day and just generally very laggy.

The programing is good . Because I am paying for their adds through data usage , I decided to uninstall their app from my Android device . I still have my other streaming channels and will uninstall them if necessary .
Follow-up · My choice of programing isn't with 7 , ABC is the go for me , that and Britbox that I do pay for in streaming services , for 7 , the adds that fill up their content I'm paying for , variety isn't much , no problems in the app itself . People do like 7 , just not me .

I’ve had several issues with my tv and theve helped me on all occasions thank you
Follow-up · All is well thanks again for your support
Terrible attempt to watch the Winternats on Sunday! Seven plus is absolute rubbish. I have had the same experience trying to watch movies etc on the same channel.
Follow-up · On Sunday we watched the 2026 Winternats finals. The experience was pretty good. The production has done a good job.
Negative reviews
What an absolute shocking app. Just lately when it's not buffering it freezes and requires reinstalling. When it does work you can't escape the poor quality repetitive adverts. All we want to watch is Seven News and MKR, how else can you do it?
This poor rated streaming service is annoying to watch a program on it. Why can't the management make it easier for viewers to use? I am using my computer and i can watch movies and series on any other channel and their streaming service, except this piss poor 7plus. I can't rate anything that i can't use 100%
If I could the coverage no stars I would. Will watching the game on kayo from now on. Their coverage is far superior. Replays and crowd interactions add to the entertainment. Products advertisements do not. It was disappointing to miss the players songs for the sake of advertising.

2026 Grand Final 7plus live broadcast was hopeless with ongoing viewing stoppages & buffering. Became unwatchable by half time. Had to turn off & go to pub to watch, missing 3rd quarter of footy in travel time
SHAME ON CHANNEL SEVEN AFL Grand Final coverage was disgusting with your advertising campaign during the game Ruined goal celebrations for viewers and Wharfie time. You’ve lost my viewing and 1000’s more
Clearly, the most important thing on the entire planet is the AFL. Absolutely nothing else is worth reporting on in Melbourne. I actually thought there was intelligence here. But then I saw the news.....
Awful app for watching on tv. Constantly glitching on ad breaks and won’t let you move past the ad or glitch so you have to stop using it. The only way round it is on by laptop that luckily has no ads or seems to be better on the mobile. All the ways to “fix” or uninstall don’t work as you can’t even uninstall the app! Useless. Channel 7 need to do better and less ads.

So disappointed in in the Rookie season 8 this finished showing in April in NZ pl just play the last 5 episodes and let Australia catch up with the rest of the world
Terrible app. It constantly freezes, replays ads or doesn't work. What a joke! Channel 7 has so much money and links to other corporations such as The West Australian and can't even fix an app in the 21st century.
Another low star review for which I expect no reply whatsoever from anyone at Channel 7. They really don't care about the viewers at all. The Chase Australia is still being filmed so why am I seeing repeats every night. Is it because I have to watch 7 Plus because I live in rural Western Australia? Is it because Channel 7 just don't care (this… Read more
one is probably the answer). Honestly, I know the channel is free but is more than compensated by the number of ads it shows. Masses and masses and masses and repeats and repeats and repeats. Sorry for repeating myself but watching Channel 7 repeats must be catching.
I am just wondering why channel keeps Colin Fassnidge on any of their shows. It's well known how many drug charges he has been charged with and also diving under the influence of drugs as well. And its not the only time. He just doesnt get it. Obviously channel 7 must support his drug addiction and criminal background. Well done channel 7. Discusting
Commonwealth Games broadcast on 7+. Hopeless! Trying to watch the Australian Diamond games. Cannot even find them on the schedule. Every time you try to navigate your way on the schedule you are faced with a barrage of adds, and then you find that what you are looking for is not there. Of course because it is a women’s sport Channel 7 shows little or no interest. I’ve Stopped trying.
Avid golf follower.To watch LIV GOLF overseas competitions live is not on,as the time schedule /difference is usually midnight or later here in Australia.7+ has the programming rights but to watch any replay you have to wait 24 hours plus. Absolutely ridiculous,7+ is just losing viewers and advertisers time and money,as we resort to Utube to see only very short highlights then it’s over for us.Cannot understand the logic.
Further to my comment re 7+ . Liv golf this week is on 7 mate at middle of the night times.So I go… Read more
Showing replays of 2026 Commonwealth Games, 7Plus went to 3 minutes of ads in the middle of a 2 minute swimming final. What a great way to kill the excitement in the room.
the level and frequency of ads made me switch off watching anything on 7plus.. its absolutely ridiculous.. 2 minute ads every 10 to 15 minutes is crazy.. the high seas are calling without ads...
