Binge Streaming App Review

BINGE TV review: Is Foxtel’s new streaming app any good? Foxtel's new BINGE streaming TV service enters the top end of a crowded market, but does so armed with great content.

Last week Foxtel launched its brand new streaming service, Binge. With over 800 movies as well as TV shows from Warner Bros., HBO, HBO Max, Sony, NBCU, FX and the BBC — Binge is positioning.

Binge is the latest streaming app from Foxtel and the new home for premium drama in Australia. After years of rumours and speculation, Foxtel has finally lifted the curtain on its new streaming service, Binge.

The Binge app is available on pretty much every current operating system, with iPhone and iPad support from iOS 12 and onwards, Android phones and tablets from Android 7 “Nougat” onwards, Apple TV, Android TV, Telstra TV, Chromecast, and web browser compatibility extended to Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.

Binge is Australia’s newest streaming service, where nothing gets on your screen unless it’s binge-worthy, award-worthy, share-worthy or all-time-favourite-worthy. Packed with the world’s best TV shows and heaps of movies for whatever mood you’re in. Plus comedy, crime, reality, documentaries, sci-fi and more. • 10,000+ hours of shows and movies. • Ad-Free On-Demand. No lock-in.

The Binge app itself has a few neat hooks but plenty of shortcomings. It works, and it’s a little slicker to use than something like Stan or Amazon Prime. Out of the gate, Binge is available on Apple TV, Android TV, iOS, Android and via the usual web browsers.

Foxtel’s Binge streaming service: Price, features, comparison and content Everything you need to know about Foxtel's new Binge TV streaming service and app.

Binge claims the streaming service uses around 3–4Mbps for streaming at HD quality, with SD streaming measuring in at “about a third” of that, according to Les Wigan. This means an SD stream will use around 450MB to 600MB per hour of SD playback or as much as 1.35GB to 1.8GB per hour of HD streaming.

For the most part, using the Binge app is intuitive and mirrors the simple interface of Netflix and more before it. What made Kayo Sports so special wasn’t just the sports content it housed but also the innovative streaming features it introduced, like SplitView multi-screen streaming, live match statistics, and spoiler-free sports streaming.
