Stremio Reviews 

There are better alternatives (Nuvio, among one of them) that offer premium features, that Stremio want's 200 USD for. Would recommend other alternatives today.

The following applies to multiple flatpak builds and every single android/android tv build of 2026, including beta builds.

This was a sleek, responsive, intuitive, customisable, functional tool, for some reason the devs took it upon themselves to categorically destroy literally every single aspect of it.
They have ruined it so comprehensively it's hard to think of any reason other than intentional sabotage to explain how they managed to break seemingly every single line of code. Stremio in 2026 is so objectively useless that you would have a better viewing experience if you started up your pc or tv and then proceeded to throw rocks at the screen.

Startup - Constant crashes with zero warnings, notificataions or errors, just refuses to open

Search - Regardless of what your language preference are set to or your region you will get results in foreign languages, even for shows that are available in your language, one of the foreign interpretations will be given priority

External player - Does not work, no matter if its vlc, potplayer, dragon etc etc, once you select the player, the player will open but no video ever loads

Ghost playback -Despite being literally incapable of playing media any time you open it you will see that shows and movies have progressed as if you ahd been watching them, meaning even if the devs bother to fix any one of the hundreds of problems they created, you are going to have to manually rewind across movies and seasons to find where you actually got to watch to.

Response: The developers response to breaking every single component of it is to flag legitimate , fair critiques as spam to have some removed and to reply to reviews via google play blaming the end user and making blanket statements that stremio isn't in a currently pathetic state, it's the masses that are wrong, it's all of our hardware not their software they refuse to fix

I love this app, it has a big potential but! It crashes a lot, you’ll be in the middle of an episode and suddenly it crashes, or the sound would be faster than the video. And once you get an error, no matter what you do it won’t work the same day!! It is very frustrating actually.

Barely ever works anymore, sad stuff, used to be great

With the new version of Stremio, the language subtitles come on every time the series you are watching changes to the next episode. The screen now has items on the bottom & top which were hidden on previous versions. Watching anything is becoming a real pain, with the "not enough speed" and time it takes to tell you that you will not be watching that movie or episode. I have been watching Stremio for many years now and it has been great, until this lastest upgrade. Pleas fix these problems so that I can watch as I did before. Thank you.

works fine before but suddently today the stream shut down 16 min and i was recording something and leaving my house. Fix this

Really good no ads clean high resolution
just that we are still waiting for a update on Samsung tv app

I mean cmon, it's free, got almost all the shows you can think of, highest quality, no ads, and pretty easy to use, you don't have to go through any sketchy websites or anything, honestly it's perfect, only minus is that there is no ios version for this. Otherwise, what else could you ask for. Perfect, perfect, perfect.

The best streaming platform ive been using it for years now, cnat complain of anything

I am a new user of Stremio so my first comments may seem very negative. This platform I have downloaded and installed it on my Samsung tablet. So far my experience is rubbish, very slow playback if any a lot of content doesn't even play so not impressed.

Very slick and easy to use app. Quick and easy to setup and works across most platforms!

Very good in the diversity of movies and series, and has a lot of choices. But in what's about of the speed rendering what I want to watch it's just bad, very bad. Worst than any other app or website of streaming.

Fantastic streaming platform, Install on most platforms, I use on PC, Phone and Firestick. Stream from services you pay for or from content on your own devices. Great integration with Torrentio and Real Debrid. Very slick interface and can cast from one device to another

Great software. Very useful and smooth

Very disappointed with the service, even after having all the contents in one platform the buffering and streaming service is very poor.

Great app but I have one issue after using it and close the windows everything in pc lags and need restart to be back.

They are just Fraud.....no file is playing and when i reach out to them they blamed me that im not following steps rather than helping! How rude!!!

Literally the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me. Thank you to the Dev team for the best app I’ve ever used.

It doesn't work the way it should, I can't watch any videos, I can't even start them because it won't load any addons and I have plenty of addons downloaded
