Ratings and reviews

This app crashes every time I attempt to cast to Chromecast. Pixel 6, nothing custom at all. The app seems capable of playing video on the phone, but I am only interested in casting. The single piece of support I found was an email address, which I emailed and have not heard back in over a week. When the app crashes there are no message or logs to attempt any debugging myself. I signed up for a PBS passport account, but cancelling seems to be my only option. Useless.

Shows play well, and Sanditon alone is worth the membership. But on the android version of the app, you have to watch an ad before every episode. On the iphone, I can watch the exact same shows with no ads. So, on the iPhone I can just quickly rewatch a scene I love and look at scenes from multiple episodes in a row. But on the android, you can't since you need to watch an ad every time you open an episode. Quite annoying.

Used to be great on Roku. Now it will not launch. Brief blip of channel icon on screen, then crashes, and back to Roku home screen. Tons of reports on Roku forums, going back *months*. Consensus is that the developer needs to update the app to work with latest versions of Roku. This app is my only access to Passport, which I pay monthly for. Ready to cancel it at this point.
