Ratings and reviews

So far not a good streaming experience. Every time you leave a show / movie you have to watch 2 commercials (you can accidentally press the back arrow button). The app also gets a bug where you cannot use commands (pause/replay/etc) so you are forced to leave the show and watch the 2 commercials again! There are 6 commercials breaks in a 42 minute show/episode with 6-7 commercials per break with 2 to 3 of the commercials being the same exact ones.

Too many ads! Especially at the end of every episode! Episode ends, ad plays, end credits roll and then bam. another ad before next episode. Ad after ad after ad. When you click on what you were watching, it doesn't pickup where you left off. You have to click on the line at the bottom of the screen to pickup? It was confusing at first, but it's an okay feature I guess. Other than that, it's an okay app.

Ads are outrageous. If you minimize the app on your phone to answer a text message, then immediately go back, you have to watch all the ads for the entire episode. The timer will say 1 minute left, but will give you 6 of the exact same commercial! It also never recognized what I had watched to list on my 'continue' page. Not competitive with other options.
