This app is terrible. How do you have a video streaming app that has no way of controlling the videos? It's common to get into a situation where a video is playing and you can't stop, pause, or control it in any way, other than just force closing the entire app. Also it claims you can save videos for offline viewing, but most videos don't have that option. And the ones that do, many don't work.

Wish I could get my money back on my subscription... Not only is most of the content very old, often outdated, but I downloaded several videos for a long flight I was taking and when I went to play them it just kept saying "server error". Tried to re-download them and others for the return flight and same thing happened. Only one of about 10 worked. I'd stick to YouTube if I were you.

Great deal for a year's worth of subscription. Good programs, maybe not always Nat Geo quality, but so far have enjoyed what I've watched. I love documentaries. App on Roku won't let you select other episodes, but phone app has been easy and intuitive. (If you want to change episodes on Roku select the episode on your phone, play for 30 seconds, and then reopen it on Roku and it'll let you resume watching on it.)
