Ratings and reviews

It's essentially just an app to watch ads. Shows the pre-roll ads in full HD then freezes as soon as it gets to the actual show. Won't even go into the awful sign-up experience where it sends you a verification code except it is pot luck whether the dialog box to enter said verification code actually appears! Uninstalling now.

Total trash, cannot use chromecast reliably. Difficulty to get it to stream, when it eventuallg plays adds at the start which is fine it tries to go to add break after 15 min amd then dies. Try to recast and plays adds again right at start. Skip to where it stopped before and dies again. Totally unusable. Rte, channel 4 and many more are fine.

Far too many ads. You can't pause and go back to it later like you used to be able to, without having to sit through 9 ads at each break again and again, and then possibly again. 18 ads is ridiculous! Terrible app. Used to be a great app a long time ago. 27 ads now at one break...so far!
