Ratings and reviews

What a trash app. You ALWAYS have to log in to use. If you try to use it on the TV it kicks you off you other device, such as your phone and it STILL gives an error on the TV forcing you to go through the entire process again. Complete trash obviously built by the lowest bidder. I limit the use to the rare things I can only watch on AFN as I'm overseas. It's pretty useless for anything else.

It downloaded just fine. 1 Star for that. The app launched. 1 more Star for that. It does not load any channels. It states, "Only available on Overseas military installations." I am on an US installation in Iraq, doesnt get any more "Overseas" than that. There are no additional stars for anything else until the app starts working.

Like everyone says, when I open the app, everything in the menu just scrolls by very quickly and nothing can be selected. Then the screen goes blank. Don't know if it's the type of phone, but I'm using an Android, Galaxy S23 Ultra. The app is utterly useless. Basically what I'd expect from a government-run platform.
