Ratings and reviews

Only reason I downloaded this was because of NXT. Frequent ads and their placement is ridiculous. (Have your ads where you have the commercials on the tv broadcast. Don't cut to an ad during a promo or backstage segment. It's irritating.) It'll still take more than 2 hours to watch 1 hour and 26 min. of wrestling. Also, where are all the old episodes of NXT? I know it's early but they're not on Peacock anymore. Can't expect too much from a free app, I guess.

Ads are outrageous. If you minimize the app on your phone to answer a text message, then immediately go back, you have to watch all the ads for the entire episode. The timer will say 1 minute left, but will give you 6 of the exact same commercial! It also never recognized what I had watched to list on my 'continue' page. Not competitive with other options.

The show or movie refuses to start after the initial ad and the logo. I sent a help request to the developer, who asked me to try using mobile data instead of WiFi. This changed nothing. I can watch live TV only, i.e., Channels, but nothing on demand. The CW TV network is easily watchable on my desktop browser.
