Ratings and reviews

It would be nice if there was a grace period (30 seconds) after finishing a set if ads. Right now, if you were to click on the search bar to find a specific spot in the program/show and you cross an ad marker, you'll have to watch another set of ads immediately. In some cases, it's the same set of ads you just finished. To add insult to injury, the ads freeze during playback. This adds anywhere from 15-40 additional minutes to the playtime of the show you're watching. PLEASE FIX IT!

Tried to watch the new episode of The Flash, so not exactly old archived content. Sat through FIVE ads first, got the spinning wheel of doom, eventually gave me the error that the video couldn't load, tried again and it started with "Playing ad 1 of 6". Are you f***ing kidding me? Ads play fine, actual shows don't, and you purposely don't keep track of either.

The interface is much improved with a new search feature and a "continue watching" tab. Previously, you had to scroll thru show lists to find the show you wanted. One minor negative is that if you search for a show thru your smart TV it now navigates to the CW home page rather than straight to the show so you have to actually open the app first and search internally. A watch list would help improve the app even more.
