Positive reviews

There are a lot of reviews about Megogo, but most boil down to the following points:

• The application can be used on several objects at once: televisions, smartphones, tablets. It is very comfortable. After paying for the subscription, all films are available on each device. Only an internet connection is required.
• Convenience, ease of connection and use. Everyone can deal with this. Everything is available on the site.
• The presence of 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 Internet is required. Just configure Megogo.

Negative reviews

There are plenty of negative reviews about Megogo on the Web, here's what they write in them:

• Write-off of funds from the card for purchases that were not made. Many users complain about unreasonable money withdrawals. At the same time, movies that no one has purchased are highlighted in the purchase history.
• After the promotional month of subscription, the full cost of the subscription fee was deducted from the card. This is also a very common complaint against Megogo.
• For new films you need to pay extra, they are not included in the subscription. Many films, especially new ones or popular ones, are available only after their purchase.
• Block channels that are often watched.
• When traffic on a site grows, 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”.
• Subscriptions have many movies and channels that are completely unnecessary. This outrages many users.
• There are not many of the most popular TV shows.
• Inability to download purchased movies. If the company closes or the site disappears, then the paid movies will disappear.

Basically, all negative reviews are associated with automatic debit of money from the card. Of course, maybe this is some kind of trick on the part of Megogo: to 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 indicated in the agreement.

To cancel automatic renewal, go to your profile and uncheck. You just need to carefully read the terms of the promotion and discounts, then nothing superfluous will be written off. You can always untie a card, delete data on all bank plastics.

One of the inconveniences is the ability to pay only with a card. You cannot pay for subscriptions and movies from e-wallets or in other ways.

How to buy cheaper

There are several ways to subscribe cheaper:

1. Megogo often holds various promotions, providing the first month of subscriptions almost for free. They are held in conjunction with telecom operators, banks. For example, in the middle of this year Megogo and MTS merged and created a single subscription. Also, the online movie theater Megogo can be seen in Beeline TV.
2. Watch movies that are provided for free. Let it be necessary to see commercials with the film.
3. Be attentive and read the agreement so that there are no surprises.

Finally

Megogo is a fast-growing video service. In an era of active copyright protection, legal online cinemas gradually come to the fore. Yes, in our country, not everyone is ready to pay for films online. But it’s almost impossible to find free news on the Web. It remains to wait for the novelty to cease to be such, or just buy a movie in Megogo.

The service has a number of shortcomings and disadvantages, but the company is growing and developing. Perhaps in the future, employees will fix all this.
