شاهد Shahid 4+

Good but glitches

The app is really good with some interesting programs, shows, and many other things! There are some few problems need to be fixed. First, it glitches, works while pausing it, stops when watching, hard to go back and forward on a video, kicks you out of it sometimes! Second, it doesn’t work when I connect my phone to a tv or a screen; just allows you to watch on your phone and tablet.. that’s all! Third, when you watch episodes there’s no history to go back to what episode you was watching; so you have to search it and keep strolling till you find it! Fourth, here in the US the amount of good things to watch is very limited and doesn’t deserve to pay $8.99 a month! Also it’s limited to specific languages too, for example there’s Bollywood movies but it’s funny that there’s no Hollywood movies! Finally, not sure if I’m going to continue my subscription but I’m pretty sure it needs too much work to satisfy users! I hope you will fix it soon (specially the glitches it’s very annoying)! It’s ok to try using it and understand what I’m talking about much better than just read the feedback and leave! Good luck!

Don’t bother with a VIP account!

The idea behind having a platform to stream all kinds of shows (Mainly produced by MBC group) is fantastic. I believe at some point the development team behind the application has fallen very short to stay up to standards of basic technical aspects. I come from an IT background and I can tell you that the App is not stable and should not be released without an good testing phase. If you sign up with a VIP account, you think you would not be bombarded with ads, right? Well, no. During Ramadan (now) you are bombarded with ads for Talabat - like 4 ads one right after the other. Isn’t the point of being a paying member not to be bothered by ads showing up? Why is this not the case, and why only Talabat? Communication with any devicethat supports Chromecast (which almost all smart TVs have now) is very sketchy. The app keeps dropping you and needs to reconnect, especially right after the forced ads. Come on guys. You can do much better than this, I’m sure of it.

Pretending to be Netflix but failing miserably

I’m considering cancelling Shahid because of the poor experience in how they launch new TV shows. First of all, most of the new shows are more than 30 episodes long. Not to mention some go around 90 episodes on average. They don’t allow you to stream it all at once as expected when compared to shows on Netflix or other streaming app in the USA. Second of all, the worst part is they only release 5 episodes a week and exclude the WEEKENDS!!!!! Why would you exclude weekends when this is the time people have time off and want to chill? Also, 90 episodes with 5 episodes a week is just begging users to stay longer on their app and continue paying for the subscriptions as a trap!!! Well guess what MBC, we don’t want to watch your super long turkish Arab Tv shows anymore! This is making us fed up with shahid, the show and the director all together. Finally, you NEVER mention how many episodes are in the show, disclosing important information!!! Because you know, if we know that it will be 90 episodes, we as Arabs would not want to commit to the show to begin with. I was really happy about the app but after revealing the BIG SCAM and lack of customer empathy, we are done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
