Ratings and reviews

Pretty good overall, especially considering it's free. A few things I would like to see fixed: 1) Sometimes I have to watch 4 straight ads when starting an episode, then I skip to where I left off watching last time and have to watch 4 more ads. 2) It seems like it's not possible to save where you left off in a series. Instead you have to remember. 3) Could be easier to find the search box.

don't normally bother with reviews. The amount of ads to watch the toy show is ridiculous. 4 ads to get the stream started. fast forward to where the young lad went to bed 6 more ads when I hit play. 4 ads within 5 minutes. 6 ads after 30 minutes and ad 5 of 6 fails, can't go forward or back. have to exit the stream and start again....4 ads, back to start of the show (progress not saved), fast forward to where we were, hit play, 6 ads to resume. What an absolute joke of a public service.

Of all the TV apps I've used... BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, C4 Player, Netflix, etc. this is head and shoulders above all as the worst, most unintuitive, buggy and poorly maintained piece of garbage. An utter disgrace. Constantly playing ads - at least it can manage that!
