Positive Feedback
There are a lot of reviews about Megogo, but most of them come down to the following points:
- The application can be used on several objects at once: TVs, smartphones, tablets. It is very comfortable. After paying for a subscription, all movies are available on every device. Only an internet connection is required.
- Convenience, ease of connection and use. Everyone can deal with this. Everything is available on the website.
- Having a variety of content. No need to constantly search for movies on the Internet, just go to the site and find the right movie. New items appear quickly.
- There is no need to connect a separate TV, only the Internet is required. Just set up Megogo.
Negative reviews
There are enough negative reviews about Megogo on the Web, here's what they write in them:
- Debiting money from the card for purchases that were not made. Many users complain about unreasonable debiting of money. AtIn this case, movies that no one has purchased are highlighted in the purchase history.
- After the promotional subscription month, the full cost of the subscription fee was charged from the card. This is also a very common complaint against Megogo.
- You have to pay extra for new movies, they are not included in the subscription. Many films, especially new or popular ones, are only available after purchase.
- Block channels that are viewed frequently.
- When traffic on the site grows, the content often starts to slow down and freeze. Due to the large number of visitors to the site, it is impossible to watch movies, as they are frankly "buggy".
- There are a lot of movies and channels in subscriptions that are not needed at all. This angers many users.
- Not many of the most popular shows.
- Unable to download purchased movies. If the company closes or the website disappears, paid movies will also disappear.
Basically, all negative reviews are related to the automatic debiting of money from the card. Of course, maybe this is some kind of trick on the part of Megogo: set automatic renewal of the subscription after paying for the promotional first month. But they warn about this when paying on the Megogo website and the information is specified in the agreement.
To cancel automatic renewal, go to your profile and uncheck the box. You just need to carefully read the terms of the promotion and discounts, then nothing extra will be written off. You can always untie the card, delete data on all bank plastics.
One of the inconveniences is the ability to payonly by card. You cannot pay for subscriptions and movies from e-wallets or other methods.
How to buy cheaper
There are several ways to subscribe cheaper:
- Megogo often runs various promotions, providing the first month of subscriptions almost for free. They are held jointly with telecom operators and banks. For example, in the middle of this year, Megogo and MTS merged and created a single subscription. You can also see the Megogo online cinema in Beeline TV.
- Watch movies that are provided for free. Let them have to see commercials along with the film.
- Be careful and read agreements so there are no surprises.
In conclusion
Megogo is a rapidly growing video service. In the era of active copyright protection, legal online cinemas are gradually coming to the fore. Yes, in our country, not everyone is ready to pay for online movies. But finding free new items on the Web, and even more so in high quality, is almost impossible. It remains to wait until the novelty ceases to be such, or just buy a movie in Megogo.
The service has a number of shortcomings and shortcomings, but the company is growing and developing. Perhaps in the future the staff will fix all this.
