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.

open app,clicked a show to watch, a 25 second add started which was 1st of 5 adds, i immediatly hit the X ,closed the app,and opened RTE player app instead, hit live tv,and it started playing straight away....i close any app that tries to force adds or else put phone down and ignore them all ,like everyone else i presume ,so i dont know why they bother wasting money on adds that nobody watches.

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.
