Ratings and reviews

wow, all the reviews highlighting the same problem, since 2023. Clearly the developers don't care to improve the app. Why bother developing it in the first place? You can't pause a show or leave the app for even a few seconds without it going right back to the start of the episode. Which means you have to watch all the adds you've already had the pain of watching again. no resume option. I 've NEVER had a streaming app without such basic functionality.

constantly crashing, even just trying to catch up not watch live. there are so many ads its crazy even if someone calls you or a phone update pops up, when that happens and you return to the show, you get more ads again. but the main issue is starting an episode and it wont even play just keeps coming up 'sorry there was an error'.

you have to watch 5 minutes of ads before the video starts so you can't check if you've seen it already. Then, if you want to continue where you left off, there is no option to do so. You have to watch 5 minutes of ads, then skip to where you left off (if you remember) and watch another 5 minutes of ads. And God help you if you accidentally stop fast forwarding too early. Because that's 5 more minutes of ads. Before you even start watching. the picture quality of live TV is also terrible.
