You know what I love about Haystack? Absolutely nothing. it's bad enough that the audio sync has never worked. What's even more ridiculous is that I never get today's news. Yesterday is gone, yet that's what I'm getting today on my phone and TV. Par for the course my issues are ignored by customer support. Perhaps it's because I refuse the pay wall. The app (to me) needs a major overhaul. Yesterday's news, oh brother. Uninstalling this garbage.🗑🗑🗑🗑

This app no longer works. It does absolutely nothing but sit there and spin. Tells you to log in or create an account. App will not allow you to do either.. Reinstalled several times, cleared cache, etc. - DEAD APP !

Used to be a decent app. Today there are fewer sources than ever. Haystack obviously is experiencing a license issue, and is unable to show videos from any major networks, including international. Today Haystack has become abysmal, showing their staff to be completely unmotivated to so anything except to downgrade. I don't have words to express my disappointment in this lazy crew of nobodies, sleeping away while other developers dominate the market space.
