Ratings and reviews

The amount of ads in a 40 minute show is insane, but I can see past that if it actually worked. The fact that the app freezes during ads is extremely frustrating. Not only does it continuously freeze and become unresponsive during ads but it also kicks me right out of the app and I have to start the show from the beginning all over again. After spending nearly an hour with the ads freezing and restarting, I gave up on actually watching the show. Fix the bugs!!!!!!!

Usage is worse than before the last update. It keeps freezing on the final ad of the set of 4, I have to disconnect from chromecast, then reconnect and start it again... 6th time during a movie and counting. Then, the chromecast icon disappears entirely. And finally... the movie doesn't show in history so I have to start the whole thing again and try to find where I left off. What the heck?

the app has a lot of bugs related to the ads. the same ad will play 4 times in a row, the app crashes and stops playing the episode after the ads, or the sound will stop. it doesn't keep track of where you are in a series very well. i only use it for the shows I can't get somewhere else.
