Ratings and reviews

While its great to be able to see Dr Who, one of BBCs best shows. Its irritating that the app consistantly freezes and shuts off while watching the shows. So you have to reopen the app and wait for it to open slowly. And you have to re-sign in and tell them which provider your using everytime. It takes an hour and a half just watch a 40 minute show. And even when you are not using the app. It is contantly opening and freezing while you are using other apps. BBC never fixes it.

Disappointed in the fact you can't use it with Chromecast and it is not available from Roku or on my smart TV either. The only way I can watch shows on my TV from this app is to cast my device, not just the app, to my Chromecast. Commercials are common on these apps. I'm used to that. Not an ideal app, but it'll do.

Like many other reviewers have said, the app is very buggy. Doesn't cast to external screens anymore, you can start the program on the app, but if you try to cast it it goes back to a loading screen until it times out. And my personal favourite bug. I'll get a notice that it's stopped running/crashed, when it's not even open or running. I get it regularly, even when I haven't opened the app in months. Finally uninstalled it, hopefully they'll fix it and I can reinstall it.
