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.

Works for a while then suddenly crashes for no reason and has WAY too many ads, also, casting to a TV on this app is really poor, the UI can be seen, audio comes through the TV but the visuals don't display, it essentially turns everything into a podcast. As well as this, live TV doesn't work on this app when it is downloaded onto a smart TV. The app mostly works for watching on a phone or laptop but is in general quite poor.

I'm trying to watch back one of the Euros games. Everytime I click forward to the start of the game, the video player crashes. I've watched over 30 ads and not a single minute of the game. Also the video player crashes everytime you click out of the app.
