Ratings and reviews

update: customer service worked on my problem of WiFi compatibility and now it's working fine. If you are having issues it's worth communicating with them because they are listening. (which is rare nowadays) original review: Very frustating app when you think you will watch something and it doesn't work , which seems like a lot lately.

Overall I like the app. I like that I can watch what I want on the go. What I don't like is that I can't use screen mirroring at home using my Roku TV. I hope you fix that because many people have Roku. I currently enjoy screen mirroring with a lot of other apps. Second it would be great if you guys actually had a remote control that I can control my set top box using my phone. I'm in a cast at the moment so mobility and convenience are huge.

I have been using this app for over a year with no significant issues. Now the app is telling me there is a bug. I can get to old seasons or episodes, press watch, press start over and the screen returns to the show's main page. I've tried uninstalling and then installing the app with no change.
