It's a great app. Except for the crashing and error all the time. Watch a couple minutes then error. Get it going again, error. If this issue would be fixed then I'd rate it a 5* no problem. Have deleted and reinstalled and then cleared cache and nothing helps. Still says error and then crashes. Have to Uninstaller then reinstall just to be able to watch it again. Gets very annoying.

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.

Lots of great shows on the CW, and I really don't mind having to watch ads, but this app is just awful! It constantly freezes or gets stuck in loops and then crashes. Then, when I go back in to it, it doesn't remember what show I was watching, let alone continue at the point where I was in it when it crashed. Very frustrating. I only watch streaming TV and none of my other apps freeze or get stuck in loops like the CW app does so I really don't think it's my internet service.
