If you’re getting Crave Subscription Error 5005, it usually means the app can’t verify your subscription status. This is commonly an account sync or provider-linking issue — not usually a payment failure.
Here’s the easy fix guide 👇
🔧 Easy Fix for Crave Error 5005
✅ 1. Sign Out & Sign Back In (Most Common Fix)
Open the Crave app
Go to Settings → Sign Out
Fully close the app (force close it)
Reopen and sign back in
This refreshes your subscription permissions.
✅ 2. Verify Your Subscription Is Active
Go to crave.ca in a web browser:
Log in
Go to Account → Subscription
Confirm it shows Active
If you subscribed through:
Apple App Store
Google Play Store
Roku
A TV provider like Bell or TELUS
Make sure the subscription is active there too.

Delete the app completely and reinstall it.
This clears corrupted data that can cause Error 5005.
✅ 5. Relink TV Provider (If Applicable)
If you subscribe through Bell, TELUS, Rogers, etc.:
Go to crave.ca
Sign out
Sign back in using “Sign in with TV Provider”
Re-authorize your provider login
This often fixes entitlement errors instantly.

Specific Error Codes
Code | Meaning | Fix |
| 5003 / 956 | Too many devices | Go to account settings -> Device Management and “Remove All.” |
