update: this is the worst streaming app I've ever used and I'm not being dramatic. I fell asleep during an episode of a show, and tried to go back to the episode, forced to watch 4 ads just to OPEN the episode, then tried to skip to where I j thought I may have fallen asleep, the SAME 4 ADS ALL OVER AGAIN AND AGAIN. this app is not good for casting. if you hit the skip ahead button, it jumps you back to the start, with no option to go back to where you were. you can't skip ahead at all.

Not very good. Too many ads. I tried to log in on my Roku app and it kept telling me infonwas wrong. Can't seem to change my credentials either. When I go to edit my.profike, I get ads and then it goes a player that "can't open link".why is my profile being opened in a video player? Nothing makes sense. Absolutely horrible. I was looking forward to the winter Olympics only to be unable to really watch any because of this app.

Absolutely terrible place to try and watch anything. S1.ep1. 4 commercials to start the episode, I can handle that, it's free right? Then after the commercials you get a spinning disc in the middle of the screen letting you know that you will have to restart the episode to watch more commercials. After that the episode may or may not start (depending on whether they want you to watch more commercials). Be prepared for this to happen at each new episode!! Like I said, terrible.
