Ratings and reviews

App loads well and logs in quickly. Have not experienced lag with any shows so that is good. Would it be possible for the development team to make the episodes play in chronological order from oldest? It's frustrating to watch seasons of Bluey in reverse order. If I wanted to watch the season in chronological order, I would need to exit out of the episode and select the next episode.

The latest version (updated approx 3rd Aug 2024) introduces a more complex UI (as if that were even possible) and some new bugs that make it impossible to operate with a mouse. Previously, it was possible to streamline the process of operating this app (SEVEN clicks to watch the live News 24 stream!!!) by connecting a mouse to your android TV... but now the app ignores mouse pointer location and only records clicks... on defaults... that you don't want to watch.

Live channels are delayed by an hour. Tried for several days to watch the 7pm news to find an antique shown on. Deleted and redownloaded the app to find it made no difference. Both on the tv and phone.
