Ratings and reviews

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.

it's completely USELESS. i tried connecting to the app and on my roku tv multiple ways (desktop computer, laptop, phone, tablet, trying to make an account with multiple emails - gmail and outlook), and it just never worked. i always get the error page. i feel pity for people that are actually paying for the premium features, they're getting robbed. pathetic app and service.

What a huge improvement this app has gone through since I last used it two years ago, they really listened to the feedback! The layout is amazing with a nice menu at the bottom. It has a great continue watching section, favorites and casting ability that fixes a convention to your TV once and then you can move freely in the app going from show to show, other apps can learn from this one. My one issue is that I cannot use the keyboard on the TV version of the app thus I can't search or login.
