Ratings and reviews

Since the latest update on 16/10/24, the app will load OK. You can ask it to cast to chrome cast but as soon as you start a program the app crashes and shuts down. If you try and reload it, it will keep closing until the program you started to cast finishes. You can delete storage in settings which will allow you to sign in again but if you connect to chrome cast again to control the program it will crash and exit again.

UPDATE 3: Still the worst app, 5 still don't care. 5 need to remove the deliberate lies they've posted. UPDATE 2: My version is the latest available on my tv and my phone. It hasn't improved. UPDATE 1: So, their response to being told their app has serious issues is to gaslight users and make out they are too stupid to have updated the app and tried deleting and reinstalling. They have no intention of fixing this. Absolutely the worst streaming app I have used (and I stream all my TV now.)

This is not a good app. It always begins streaming in very low quality before playing in HD after about 5 seconds. If you want to skip backward or forward, it reverts to low quality for about 5 seconds before it jumps back to HD. This happens every time you want to skip. The adverts would be fine but I just got an error after watching 5 ads then it made me watch another 5 to resume playback. It's amateurish stuff.
