SonyLIV subscribers are voicing growing frustration online, with many saying they’ve cancelled their memberships after repeated problems with the app. Across several viral posts, users complained about frequent crashes, intrusive ads, and a viewing experience that feels more frustrating than entertaining.
Many said the app often freezes or crashes midway through shows, forcing them to restart repeatedly. Others shared that even after paying for premium plans, they still encounter unskippable ads, which they feel defeats the purpose of a paid subscription. Several users described the situation as “unbearable,” saying they would rather switch to other platforms that offer smoother, ad-free experiences.
This wave of dissatisfaction is striking because SonyLIV once earned praise for its strong catalogue of sports, dramas, and originals. There is hardly any platform that makes such risky and amazing series like SonyLIV. Now, the focus has shifted to its technical issues and poor user experience. Social media is filled with screenshots, videos, and blunt reviews from disappointed viewers who feel the app has become unreliable.
As complaints pile up, the backlash highlights how crucial stability and ad transparency are for streaming platforms. Viewers are no longer patient with buggy apps or unexpected ads. Unless SonyLIV improves its performance and rebuilds trust, the cancellations and criticism online may continue to grow louder.
@SonyLIV why should I have to explain to delete my account in my device…..

Not renewing my @SonyLIV subscription anymore. They force us to watch useless ads even before a LIVE match. And if you try to fast-forward or rewind a TV show, they make you sit through more ads again. Pathetic app – the content isn’t worth it, & the ad experience makes it worse.
