5.0 out of 5 stars BET IS BACK BETTER THAN EVER WITH BET + !!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2021

I had lost some interest in BET but they are back and better than ever!! There is a plethora of quality content to choose from, interesting and next level stories. Tyler Perry as well as acclaimed and up and coming writers and directors finally on the map. I have been waiting for this for years. I have no complaints with the service or the channel. The app is user friendly and the cost of the app is affordable. At first, I wasn't sure I wanted to pay an extra cost, then I thought well why not give BET another chance. I'm happy I did.

I just found a show called "Sacrifice,' I am thoroughly enjoying it! Some of my favorite shows so far are Sistas, and Ruthless. I can't wait to see what else may interest me. There is something for everyone.

BET is very relatable now. Love, Love, Love it!!! (Ignore the haters/they are sleeping on BET +) Real Talk.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth It
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2022

I’m a movie buff, depending on the type. Don’t do SCI FI, Kidnapping, Horror,. I have certain movies and series on BET Plus is a must. The series they do have keeps people interested. But is is worth keeping? Depends on the person. Many keep it just for the series which are awesome, without them BET would not be a good choice. Some believe the amount they charge is over priced, yes I do agree.

BET needs to keep up with showing more new movies, they will have maybe a new movie once in a blue moon which is not being competitive with other streaming services. This is why many do not bother with BET Plus, if all series are over, people have nothing to watch especially if they’ve watched whatever new movie was put out. If they want to keep customers coming and staying they really have to do much better.
Stay tuned in like other premium channels keep us wanting more and you give it to us.

The last new movie I watched was two month’s ago, start bundling new movies, put more then one, do two at a time and keep them coming faster then what is now done.

I don't like the fact of all these apps Firestick has preinstalled take up so much space. Most of them I have no interest in. The constant buffering is beyond annoying. I understand part of the problem may be the app I installed. I live alone so there's no way other devices are slowing it down.
