Ratings and reviews

Overall, I'm pretty happy with this app. I haven't tried many others, but this one works out fairly well. There are some weird, clunky parts about selecting the videos to cast....if you so much as touch a thumbnail, it automatically selects it, which makes scrolling super difficult. But unless I find another app that has a better interface, I'll use this for now.

Seems to work great so far. Will probably pay for the full version soon. Good work developer! Discovered a problem: Many of the random forced video advertisements are rather violent, gory and disturbing. I just saw another one and started thinking that I could get nightmares from it! Seems 18+! I will still pay to remove ads later, but for now, I am curious how bad the advertising can be! The ads can be skipped of course, but only after what seems to be quite a long time of forced viewing!

I've used this app for many years and until recently I've been flooded with ads, I get the occasional ad but now its ridiculous, everytime I open the app there's an add waiting which makes it hard to switch from stream to stream while watching fights or game, you're ads have gotten worse. You can't even close out of anything without getting hit with 2 ads and any time you open you have to sit thru one ad then have to click out of another after watching the first
