App shows splash screen, then dies.

Tried reinstalling. Could never get passed the activate screen after multiple attempts.

Back to app splash screen and app dying.

Can’t use the app anymore, making my subscription useless.

    Hello everyone.

    We are sorry for the uncomfortable situation you are going through.

    I want to inform you that our technical team is aware of the situation and is currently working on an update that will fix the issue.

    In the meantime, we recommend using the Fizz TV app on your phone to cast the content to a compatible smart TV. You can find more details on how to do this here: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/how-connect-device-view-my-tv-content

    This is only a temporary solution while our technical team is working on the update.

    We appreciate your patience and understanding.

    Have a good one!

    Factory reset your device and reinstall the Fizz TV app. should solve the problem.

    Tear down your house, rebuild it and your new faucet should work.

    It's a real shame about all these problems.

    Any updates ? I have the same problem on 2 devices and I won’t be doing a factory reset, I would rather change fizz. All other apps are working so factory reset is not a solution at all.

    Invested my time doing a full factory reset, reinstalling all my other apps, config, etc and the result is still the same. :(

    Like @Sylvain M. #546 said, all other apps were and are still working great.

    Only fizz is problematic.

    Maybe you shouldn’t leave feedback like this without knowing the actual fix. Factory resetting a device can be pretty disruptive to many users and doesn’t solve this issue.

    I reset my Google Chromecast with Google TV and it still doesn't work. I can't wait for this problem to be solved.

    Here is that I have just received technical support

    "We have just received this information regarding the issue with the Fizz TV package. Our technical team is aware and is looking for solutions to this problem. I suggest using Cast TV or Airplay to stream the content from your mobile phone to Chromecast. The casting feature works. This is a temporary solution."

    Same problem with Chrome TV. I re-installed with no success. WAITING for update... Please let us know when it's done. This app has worked flawlessly for me since day one, but now I am really disappointed with the update that does not work and no mention from the support team.

    Same here, can't even preview the features as Guest, app is immediately crashing. There were multiple reports of this bug, maybe it's time to roll back the update and deploy previous stable app version?

    Having the same issue since this afternoon. Maybe Fizz should be acknowledging the issue and providing status at this point?

    For reference, the crashing Google TV Fizz app is running version 2.1.51.271. Until the developers release a new patch, further troubleshooting is unlikely to help.
