Clifford- Dog Day Afternoons, Disappointed. I purchased all of Dog Day Afternoons and initially, my child was able to watch the episodes. Recently, we tried to watch them again and were informed we must re-purchase the episodes and they are available to watch on youtube once purchased. I do not see why we have to re-purchase from GooglePlay the same episodes. I have a credit card statement detailing the purchase. This is the 2nd issue we have had with googleplay. We are considering switching to Amazon or Netflix. We are beginning to feel scammed. Side note: We never post reviews. The fact that we are should be a strong indicator that something is amiss.

I bought a series for my 2 year old & 1 year old. We've still not been able to watch any of them. I've downloaded and erased several times but still nothing. Do waste your money... Infact we are unable to watch anything after developers changed the movie app Making both tablet purchases worthless. Both show black retry screens.
