frndlytv.com Reviews 

Terrible experience. I am SO disappointed with Frndly TV. Not only is the app plagued by excessive commercial breaks ( did I say Excessive!!) and frustrating (Very) playback bugs that lose your place in a show, but the customer service is completely unhelpful. They do not offer a phone number to resolve billing issues, and the online chat agents give scripted, robotic responses. I was unexpectedly charged for a full subscription renewal (almost $100!!!) after trying to manage my account, and getting any assistance or a refund feels impossible. Save your money and look for a more transparent streaming service. HOT TIP - Cancel trial Immediately!!! If you can. I waited 7 days and then couldn’t. Don’t get tricked like we did. UN-frndly

I had Frndly tv on Roku. I cancelled before the billing date and i was charged anyway. No way to call anyone by phone and chat was a big runaround. STAY AWAY from Frndly???? tv.

Do Not Bother with it! Keeps freezing up! Its horrible!!! You have to exit out and reload it.

Not worth it!! Soooo AGRAVATING!!

Frndly tv customer support is NOT friendly!!!!! They only want to chat and NOT give out a billing department number. In the chat, they kept asking the same questions like a robot. Throw water on these robots and short circuit them out.

(1) First, they did not bill month-by-month but charged my card for a full year. When I tried to cancel and get a refund for the unused months they said no refunds. (2) All this is, is a teaser for all the other apps (channels) they have listed. You only get to watch about a dozen episodes (shows) for each channel. If you want to keep watching you have to subscribe to the separate channel.

Frndly they are not. They wanted me to pay to get technichal support from a third party. They said I would get my $5 back but the web site clearly stated it would charge me a $65 a month fee. Not in my world.

It sucks great shows but it freezes up all the time. It not worth the hassle

This is the email I sent upon my Payment not being honored.

Hola

I have made about three Complaints on Trustpilot concerning your Platform.

I have recorded at least 3 videos with your Buffering Programs.

If I had been able to Log In, I would have cancelled by now.

Please Refund my Fees and cancel my Subscription.

UPDATE:7/12/26
After finally being able to contact Frndly because of my dishonored Payment, I have received an email stating: Since we don't furnish our service overseas, we will Refund your Money. I will give a Follow up.
Thanx, Donnie

1 STAR IS TOO MANY! MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT THE APP BEEN CRAP SINCE DAY 1 OF PURCHASE SINCE I HAVE TO PUT A DATE!! ALL THE FREAKIN ADS EVERY 2 SECONDS TO THE POINT THAT I CAN'T GET THROUGH 1 TV SHOW! NO WONDER NOBODY PAYS FULL PRICE FOR THIS CRAP & THE ONLY REASON I DID WAS BECAUSE IT WAS $.99 AND ITS NOT EVEN WORTH THAT! EVEN THOUGH ITS PAID FOR IM STILL DELETING THE APP! FRNDLY..YEAH B.S. MORE LIKE ANNOYING AS F***!

I got FRNDLY because it was 99 cents a month for 2 months on Roku. I wonder if that is too much to pay for a Month.

When watching an episode, you might be really into it and then BAM, out of nowhere is a commercial, which can be short or brutally long. Of course they are Charity or Pharma garbage. Upon resuming the show, good luck Chuck on remembering what was said...

I just hit the Home button on the Roku to see what would happen to an episode on the Boston Strangler, which was about over.

So, I go back in and it says "Resume Season 8 episode 9"... Ok, I click on that and it's about Lincoln, which I haven't got to yet... I go back and click on the Boston one and it started completely over!!!

No FF... I can let it run for 45 minutes to get back to where I was though! That would be Fun!

They want $12.99 for this worthless Radio Edit after the Trial. I want whatever exotic Crack they are abusing.

The only good thing is it has these episodes I haven't seen that were on my master list going back years. But if I pause it to go to the Bathroom, I might never see them anyway!

While I like the channels provided, the app is NOT sufficient. You have to reinstall every couple of days. Today, the app is making me sign on to every time I want to watch something. The commercials are REDUNDANT and overabundant.

I like the variety of shows. What I don’t like is watching a show for 5 minutes then commercials for 10 minutes and I’m not exaggerating. Even worse is that you have 2 commercials that keep rotating for the 10 minutes. I get you have to have your commercials I’m fine with that but the length of time of them with the same commercials rotating.

This is a scam they charge you for free trail before you look at these program they charge me $89 for May 26 2026 we didn’t no that the channel was own so I call too cancel the channel and the customer service call me a black mother shout up and hung the phone up so I call back so the other man name Justin say black don’t call here no more and this company in United State they are India they use company out of California,Louisiana but they are same people using Roku 805-977-9325 and 408-556-9391 866-851–1579 they scam and they charge you for this free trail and we didn’t no the channel friendly family tv is scam and I go my bank looking into it please do not try this company they say Roku but they are out of India scamming you they will not return your money they you help support scamming you

I hate your AI generated ad so much, that it has driven me to take time out of my day to figure out how to leave a review about just how repulsed I am. You could have paid crackheads to do better acting for less than whatever this bullshit cost.

I’ve seen your commercials on tv and I’m disgusted that you’re using AI to promote your channel instead of using real actors. That’s gross and disgusting. You’re promoting actors via moves and shows through your app, but you use AI to promote it. You hypocritical money grabbing disgusting channel. I won’t watch anything on your channel because of that.

Completely A Criminal Organization. The feds need to be notified immediately so this Criminal Organization can be investigated. All aspects of this Criminal Organization are intentional and planned with theft as the only goal.

Horrible streaming TV. Way too many ads. Make sure not to put your age in when they ask you at sign up---- all the ads they show me are for geriatric items i.e. 'age appropriate'. I don't want to see those over and over again and no way to change. For that alone I would cancel. Ridiculous. They "feature" TV shows only to say "coming soon". Embarrassing that you would even pay anything for this. I cancelled after one month.

FRNDLY TV just recently made a horrible change. They were allowing you to watch movies under the MOVIES option at the top of the screen under subcategory Most Watched Movies with no commercials. So as an example the Christmas Island movie is still listed as 1 hour 23 minutes. BUT when you open the movie now and check the run time, it is 2 hours and 52 minutes and you CAN'T fast FORWARD to bypass the commercials. There might be other changes I haven't noticed' but I am not going to keep my FRNDLY service any longer to find out.

Friendly tv sucks. So many commercials. The worst tv experience ever. Wanted only a trial and accidentally pushed wrong thing. Ended up with paying a whole year of this. Biggest regret in long time. And no way of cancelling. This is not enjoyable television. Was counting minutes of program time along with counting minutes of commercial time. You are out of control. Would never recommend friendly tv to anyone.

Love the channels but the ads are ridiculous, especially certain ones that play over and over, sometimes back to back to back. Counted certain ones playing 15 times in an hour show, now that is crazy and uncalled for in a paid subscription service. This occurs everyday but seems to have increased in the past couple weeks.
