Ratings and reviews

There have been some odd quirks such as the back and play buttons not appearing when tapping on a video thumbnail, but using my device to go back and try again has always worked. My main device that uses this is very old and has battery and memory issues, and watching on the Giant Bomb site has been a problem. With this app, however, I can watch on high quality and for as long as I want, it's that lightweight. I can easily recommend this for any GB Premium member.

It's great! Works with regular and premium videos (the setup for premium was so easy). You can download the videos when on WiFi so you don't require a mobile network to play them. There's picture in picture when you're outside of the app. It's absolutely perfect. Five stars.

Imperfect but decent. The best option for the need at this time. Could do with an option to specify fallback quality since Giant Bomb has mostly been ditching 'high' quality, e.g. setting desired to 'high' often means defaulting to 'mobile'. Could also do with the ability to cast. Edit: No longer seems to work on Chromecast (CCwGTV).
