Ratings and reviews

No real problems with the app, not much buffering or errors with connection or download/streaming speeds. Only real problem is I can't change caption settings, its just tiny lil words in yellow on black, really hard to read especially when it blends into the background of whatever I'm watching, would be the only big thing I'd change, everything else can be left as is (unless there are improvements that can be added, in which case make em optional so if people don't wanna use em they don't needa)

If you wish to watch via Chromecast without a Boost subscription - beware. I cannot watch more than 10 minutes of a show via Chromecast without it suddenly closing & cease casting & for the app to display a "Too Many Devices Are Watching" error message once I attempt to reconnect. I have searched the NowTV website to troubleshoot this, where I discovered that a Chromecast apparently counts as 2 devices. A Boost subscription is required to watch on more than 1 device at the cost of £6 extra

Total rip off. Lots of choice, but some shows are so heavily edited theyre unwatchable, there's avg. 10mins missing per episode. They cut all the scenes with dead bodies out of a crime drama! And you have to pay twice for loads of things, I've tried to watch serieses just to discover they're on a channel I don't have. And the biggest scam of all is that you have to pay extra for no adverts, then they put their own 30 second unskippable adverts at the start of every film and every third episode.
