Sorry this isn't for me... The ads never end. When it does, it's starts all over again... It's like this app is only for ads. I just spent 1 whole minute watching 1 ad twice🙄... It's a shame... There seems to be interesting stuff here but it's for promotion or something. And when I finally clicked on something to watch, it says upgrade. I've only just installed the app and I'm supposed to upgrade. Sorry. A for effort in creating this app, but it's not for me. Thank you all the same

Had to uninstall as it really has become an annoyance to use. I have no problems with ads but the frequency is too much. At the start you get ads, you try skip some scenes, you get ads. If while an episode scene is playing and i pause to quickly check messages upon returning, another batch of ads. On top of all that you play the same ad 4 to 5 times in one go back to back, at least play different ads even 4 to 5 of them its better if they are different.

I would not recommend this app. Way too many adverts in a single episode. I got 2 (30sec) ads beginning of the series, then immediately after that 3 (30 sec) ads then every few minutes, 3 more sets of ads. So all in all I watched over 10 minutes worth of adverts. It's absolutely ludicrous! I can't even download to watch offline. It's really not worth downloading the app!
