Great to be able to watch Champions league matches for free(apart from your will to live). But this app is unusable, you have no mini player/play in picture option so if you need to check something or do anything else on your phone you have to exit out and come back to the app and rewatch over 30 seconds of ads again.

this is the worst streaming app of all time. it takes an age to get the programme up and running but it's not guaranteed to keep playing, then everytime it needs ro reset, you have to watch all the ads all over again. don't even think about casting it to a screen ad it keeps crashing

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.
