I have a subscription for £5.99/month.
No idea if it’s a current offer only, but checking subscription settings on iPhone they have annual subscriptions for £29.99 and £59.99 - I’d buy at £59.99 but for under £30 seems a bargain currently. Can’t see there’s any real difference.
We pay $80 per year bth there’s not a lot of content. We had a problem with not being able to disable captions and found their customer support very frustrating, don’t think I’ll be renewing.
Content has gradually increased in the UK over the last couple of years, I use it on an AppleTV. Don’t have issues with closed captions, though there were some glitches with audio settings and no video just audio a couple of years ago.
I think it’s now good value if you enjoy the content. Perhaps content is more limited outside UK.
Think that’s the case a lot of the stuff on it have already shown on our National Broadcaster (ABC). Originally we only got it to see the last season of Line Of Duty.
I use it on Apple TV as well, oddly enough they claim it was the fault re the caption problem and not their app.
I tried it for a few months at the start. Then took a break for a few months and now I’m back again. With NETFLIX serving the Kill-em/Zombie/Shoot-em genre and Britbox serving the more cultured genre (plus iplayer) I find all the boxes are ticked.
At the start the interface was bit clunky but it seems fine now. I do get peeved though when, occasionally, it will want me to reverify via the web site 'cause then I have to power up the PC &c.
It can still take half an hour each night finding something to watch though!
I find that with all the streaming services - there’s so much content out there now it can be really hard to find something you enjoy unless you’ve seen it before and can directly search for it!
tbh I’d say 50%, maybe more, of what we watch is re-watched. For example, last night, we re-watched the first two episodes of Desperate Romantics (iplayer) which we already watched over a decade ago.
