BET Plus for PC app is an over-the-top SVOD service operated by Tyler Perry Studios and the BET Networks unit of ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks, a division of ViacomCBS.
BET+ features both original films and television series from the BET program library and will be the exclusive home of programming produced by Tyler Perry as part of BET’s overall deal with Perry. Will Packer and Tracy Oliver have also signed on to produce original programming for the service.
BET Plus For Windows was part of Viacom’s 2017 turnaround strategy, which saw the company acquiring and investing in digital platforms. Prior to the announcement of the app, Viacom acquired the free streaming platform Pluto TV on March 4, 2019, and launched several channels branded after Viacom-owned cable networks and IPs, including BET-branded channels.
BET Plus has over 1,000 hours of content from the BET network, including its original TV shows, movies, and specials, along with its acquired older movies and TV series. This library of shows and movies include Real Husbands of Hollywood, The New Edition Story, The Quad, College Hill, Comic View, and Hell Date.
The platform claims most of these shows and movies have never been previously made available on current streaming services, so subscribers should have a lot of content to stream that hasn’t been made available online before. Hit movies include Barbershop, Death at a Funeral, and Juwanna Mann. Every streaming service needs a classic 1990s sitcom to binge, so BET+ has Martin. Stand-up comedy specials come courtesy of D.L. Hughley, Eddie Griffin, and Lil Rel Howery.
After a seven-day free trial, BET+ costs $9.99 per month. There are no ads and no other tiers. That makes it by far the priciest option of the Black-focused streaming services
The app has a potentially confusing sign-up process may also accidentally leave you spending more than you wanted. First off, it is not the same thing as BET Now, the free streaming app you can access if you already have BET through your cable provider.
BET+’s web layout is fairly standard, with an attractive black and purple color scheme. At the top of the screen is a rotating selection of highlighted movies and shows. Scrolling down the page you’ll see rows of shows separated into different categories genres such as Dramas, Reality, and Stand-Up Comedy. Your list of shows you’re already watching is also integrated into this menu.
Unfortunately, there’s not much to the user experience beyond this surface-level menu. You can’t favorite shows. There’s no way to access your watchlist beyond the main menu, which doesn’t even always stay current. There’s no comment or rating system. Search options are basic, with no way to filter by different criteria.
Tyler Perry, the prolific African-American auteur who ended his TV partnership with Oprah to co-create the new BET+ video streaming service. Even setting aside my thoughts on its role in the culture, BET+ left me with mixed feelings. While it has some of the most popular Black movies and shows from across ViacomCBS, it’s pricey and lacks basic functionality.
In addition, a selection of movies produced and directed by Tyler Perry is available to stream from the BET Plus PC app. They will include movies from Perry’s hit Madea film series. Also, for the first time on a streaming service, its subscribers can stream a selection of Perry’s stage plays, such as Meet the Browns, Daddy’s Little Girls, Temptation: Confessions Of A Marriage Counselor, and more.
You can use the app on your smartphone as well just follow this LINK.
Similar to NBCUniversal, Viacom has been on a bit of a new app spree for the Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, with the latest arrival being a new BET app. As you’d expect, the layout and functionality of the app is identical to other Viacom apps like Comedy Central, which I reviewed in detail, and MTV. Unlike most apps released by media conglomerates, Viacom’s apps actually have quite a bit of free content, including full episodes, that you can watch without needing to activate the app with a cable provider. Other Viacom properties that we’ll hopefully see Fire TV apps for in the future include Spike TV, Logo TV, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., CMT, and VH1.
This is just like the roku version: no live stream option whereas the android/phone version does.

ReplyMjuliasays:March 21, 2017 at 6:20 pmI know me too, smh, want to see the New Edition Story on Fire Stick but like you can’t get to it!! Who do we complain to
ReplyNea Beverlysays:February 4, 2017 at 4:32 pmI really don’t see the point. Most cord cutters own fire sticks. If I had cable I would just watch on demand and wouldn’t need the fire stick except for Netflix, Hulu, etc. BET offer the subscription services for less than $5 per month to countries outside of the US. Why not offer that here? Smh
ReplyLadyScorpiosays:October 17, 2020 at 10:36 pmFactss it’s so upsetting. If I have cable Wifi that should be enough to stream any channel on my Firestick. I mean we are still paying shoot.
ReplyMizzsays:February 9, 2017 at 2:55 pmCan a friend come over and insert her cable provider password and username info if she wants to watch Bet and put in my fitestick code to allow it if I don’t have the cable she wants to watch????
Replyde'Mariussays:March 10, 2017 at 2:47 amI’m having the same issues as Shanun and Ebony.
ReplyTiqiulasays:March 12, 2017 at 6:01 pmMy cable company is not listed. So why offer me the services if I cannot really have it. Then offer me a package deal to purchase just to watch it. No thanks!
Replytariqsays:March 15, 2017 at 9:20 pmWhy do I have to keep putting in a code to watch BET??? It should be one time and that’s it.
ReplySIDONIE RICHARDSsays:June 25, 2017 at 5:57 pmMY TV PROVIDER XFINITY IS NOT AN OPTION TO ACCESS BET. WHY????
ReplyMarysays:July 31, 2017 at 7:06 pmI’m trying to get BET on my Amazon firestick and can’t even find it. Why???
ReplyCherylsays:September 5, 2018 at 4:25 pmI had the same problem until i used Alexa voice. It found it even though it wasn’t listed in featured or available apps. It’s downloading now but taking a long time.
ReplyCherylsays:September 5, 2018 at 4:35 pmIt finally downloaded and installed after about 15 min. I was able to open and access the app but it requires you to login thru a cable provider….Yikes!!! Totally defeated the purpose.
ReplyArlenesays:September 25, 2017 at 12:52 pmI Try Several times to add the apps to my Fire stick not working for me ??
ReplyAudrey Campbellsays:November 16, 2017 at 2:25 pmSame here my Fire Stick is not allowing me excess even when you put the code in
ReplyLindasays:December 14, 2017 at 2:38 pmI have a fire stick and it won’t let me put in the codes either
Why did I buy it?
Codes dont work smh but it works fine on my phone
I found BET on my Firestick but my cable provider is not on the list when I go to put in the activation code.
ReplyAlice Mallorysays:March 30, 2018 at 2:55 pmEvery time I try to activate the BET app, on BET .com it never works.If it’s free why can’t I just download the app and start watching movies and tv series.
ReplyDarrin K Fiebersays:May 11, 2018 at 6:04 pmYep. BET arrives… but you can’t watch it unless your local television provider allows for it. Unfortunately, I don’t have a television provider… that was the point of the Amazon Fire Stick… which means I can’t watch the Rundown… which sucks. Grumble grumble grumble. I’m an old man. Get off my lawn.
ReplyBeverlysays:June 3, 2018 at 2:15 pmSame here.i, can’t download Bet or Lifetime or VH1 and many more on firestick will not let me put the code in.
ReplyDomonique Sterlingsays:September 11, 2020 at 5:50 pmIt won’t let me watch certain programs. It says not authorized
ReplyFonda Jacksonsays:February 15, 2021 at 4:01 pmI’m hearing a lot of bad thing about BET plus app. I’m having doubt about getting. Have it got better yet ,. I keep trying watch shows on my fire stick but it will show them. Everyone just beware
