Pretty good rental service
Pretty good rental service
Content is reasonably priced and there is lots of variety, and the VeryMe discount is always appreciated. Customer support is great too. What lets the service down is the lack of Roku and Airplay support .. it is 2021 and they only really support Chromecast and Smart TVs which is a shame.
Needs these integrations to truly allow us to watch contents on TV. No update on if/when these will ever be supported. I don't think it's too much to ask, that is, if you want to get ahead of your competitors.
Not had any issues with the streaming aspects; I rarely use my outdated Chromecast anymore. I would also say more films require subtitles.

Paid £9.99 for Soul to watch all set up.. Read all the smart tv advice and technical support and in theory should all work but just gives time out...error message. Tested on phones and tablets and works fine... App version 6.6.87 and tv software all definitely up to date.. All Internet connection more than sufficient.. I received an automated reply via help form which I completed but have heard nothing since!!!! Should not be this complicated.. Terrible service compared to equally priced competitors. I'd better get my money back if I can't get this fixed to watch tonight!

Two out of three times a positive experience
Two out of three times a positive experience - tonight it just wouldn't stream, kept stopping every five minutes and doing the circle of doom :/ Nothing to do with the internet (which was great). The other two times I had no problem.

I had a code from Very me rewards, when signing in told to enter code I did. then chose film added to cart then went to checkout which said code already used. All help sections useless.

Hi,
we did a check and you can't complete the order because you are selecting a movie not included in the promotion.
The code is valid for the RENTAL of a movie of your choice from our catalogue, excluding the movies STRAIGHT TO CHILI as indicated in the Terms and Conditions of the promotion.
We suggest you to choose the movie from the section MY CHILI - DISCOUNT CODE of your account so you can see only the titles included in the promotion.

Speedy response from company
I have now received a voucher from CHLI and the response was speedy. Be careful when buying foreign language films.
I bought a film in Spanish and it said it had English subtitles which it does not. I would like to claim a refund as the film as been mis-sold as per the consumer rights act - very misleading and please no one buy a foreign language film from this website.

I was just looking to renting the movie "C'era una volta" (1967) which was shown as available with also the prices. Unfortunately once I gave CHILI my registration details (I didn't have an account before), the film was magically not available anymore. This is just unacceptable and very misleading!!

Rarely works
Had a 3 year old samsung TV, and any film we rented just crashed when trying to play. Just upgraded to a brand new LG TV, trying to play our 2 rentals and every few seconds the video freezes, then replays with no sound, a split second of sound and then frozen again. Had to give up trying to use Chili. It's not our Internet as every other streaming service works fine.

Quick and Easy! Worth it for 4K
I'm unsure about the other reviews, but my experience was great. I purchased Tenet 4K - which Chili were the only ones out of NowTV and Amazon to allow you to rent 4K UHD version. Quick purchase, and straight away available.

No subtitles
Charges extortionate amount of money for titles available for free with other more popular subscription services.
No subtitles available. In this time and age I find it unacceptable to not provide accessible streaming.

Hi,
the promotion that at the moment every new customer receives with the registration to CHILI provides a discount of 50% on the first rental.
Could you tell us where have you found the code information for a free movie? We will proceed with some checks on the communication that you saw.

Ciao,
l'app CHILI PLAY che hai scaricato sulla tua Fire TV Stick non visualizzi tutti i film del catalogo ma solo quelli che hai già noleggiato o acquistato da altri dispositivi.
Se vuoi vedere un film da questa app devi prima averlo noleggiato/acquistato da un altro dispositivo. Troverai il contenuto nella sezione MY CHILI - FILM dell'app.
Se hai riscontrato delle anomalie nell'utilizzo dell'app da questo dispositivo, potresti indicarci
l'indirizzo email del tuo account CHILI utilizzando i canali di contatto che preferisci riportati nella sezione ASSISTENZA del sito chili.com?
Purtroppo, non siamo in grado di risalire al tuo account da questa recensione, ma vogliamo davvero analizzare l'anomalia che ci hai segnalato.

4k HDR my backside
Hi all, my wife got a free Chili movie pass from Vodafone. So we chose Tenet in 4k hdr. Whether it’s streaming or a disk movie my tv detects the hdr signal and it automatically switches to a hdr setting. I knew straight away there was a problem. Upon pausing and going to settings in the app itself I discovered it was streaming in SD quality. But here’s the rub, the only other option was HD or something called HD+??????? Switching to HD+ did make a difference but nowhere near 4k hdr quality. I’ve given this review 1 star because at least the film was free and watchable (film itself was rubbish btw) but feel Chili are winging it
My tv is a Panasonic 65dx902b (won lots of awards) and my internet speed is 300mbs
Like other users I’ll probably never use Chili again. Found the sound quality poor also.
