Power's customer satisfaction survey of live TV streaming providers in 2022, with 789 points in aggregate on a scale of 1,000 possible points, topping Dish Network's Sling TV by just three points. On its website, FuboTV says it earned number one rankings by J.D. Power in programming, features and functionality, customer care and billing and payment; however, those claims are not substantiated by J.D. Power's press release (instead, the 789 points awarded to FuboTV are an aggregate of these various factors). To the contrary, real-world rankings of the FuboTV app in various software stores show it lags in customer satisfaction behind some of its peers; in the Amazon app store, it has 3.7 out of 5 stars.
