Bluu not working as expected? Try the steps below — most issues are fixed in under two minutes. The steps are in the order that resolves the most problems first.
🔁 Step 1 — Restart the Bluu app
- Close the Bluu app fully (don't just minimise it).
- Wait 10 seconds.
- Open it again and sign in if asked.
If you're watching on a smart TV or streaming stick, you can also restart the device itself.
📶 Step 2 — Check your internet
Bluu needs an active internet connection. Try:
- Open another app or website on the same device. If those also don't load, your internet is the problem.
- Restart your modem/router: unplug it, wait 60 seconds, plug it back in, and wait 2 minutes for it to reconnect.
- If you're on Wi-Fi, move closer to the router or switch to a 5 GHz network if available.
Bluu needs at least 10 Mbps per stream for HD playback, and we recommend 25 Mbps or more for the best experience.
🔑 Step 3 — Sign out and back in
- Open Bluu and go to Settings → Account.
- Choose Sign out.
- Sign back in with your Flow ID (the email address or mobile number used when you signed up).
⬆️ Step 4 — Update the app or your device
- On phone or tablet: open your app store, search for Bluu, and tap Update if available.
- On smart TV or streaming stick: check for system updates in your device's settings, then restart the device.
📲 Step 5 — Reinstall the app
If nothing above works, delete the Bluu app and install it again from your app store. Sign in with the same Flow ID. Your account, watchlist, and progress are saved on the cloud and will return.
🛠️ Common issues — quick fixes
"This content is not available in your country"
Some channels and on-demand titles are restricted by region for licensing reasons. If you're travelling, certain content may not play. Once you're back home, content access returns automatically.
Bluu plays for a few seconds then stops
This is almost always a slow or unstable internet connection. Run a speed test on the same device (try fast.com). If your speed is below 10 Mbps, restart your router or move closer to it.
Picture is fuzzy or low quality
Your stream is auto-adjusting to a slower connection. Wait a few minutes, or switch to a lower-traffic Wi-Fi network. On a TV, make sure it's set to the correct HDMI input and your HDMI cable is firmly connected.
"Too many devices" or "stream limit reached"
Bluu allows 2 simultaneous streams per account. Sign out of Bluu on any device you're not using, then try again. To see which devices are signed in, go to Settings → Account → My Devices.
I forgot my password
On the sign-in screen, tap Forgot password? and follow the steps. Reset emails come from Flow. Check your spam folder if you don't see it within 5 minutes.
"Flow ID not recognised"
Your Flow ID is the email address or mobile number you used when you signed up. If it's been changed, use the new one. If you don't remember which one is on file, contact your local Flow care line — see Contact Bluu — All Regions Directory.
App won't open at all
If the Bluu app crashes immediately on opening, your device may need an update. Make sure your phone, TV, or streaming stick is running the latest software version, then reinstall Bluu.
Still need help?
If none of the steps above resolved your issue, contact your local Flow care line via the Contact Bluu — All Regions Directory, or visit your nearest Flow retail store.
