Ratings and reviews

love the app and a collection of horror movies in one place so you don't have to pay for 10 apps at the same time for different movies, but all the streaming apps (and everybody else) are getting so greedy with the price increases. every month when the payment is due, another price increase by a dollar. when I first subscribed I was paying 5 dollars a month,a reasonable price, now it's 10. another subscription I have had to pause / cancel because of this.

Horrible service. They advertised having a specific movie I wanted to watch, which required setting up a trial account through Samsung. After jumping through hoops, I find out the movie I want isn't actually available on their service. The movie selection is very low quality. In order to cancel, I had to log into so many accounts and the option to unsubscribe is buried in a way thats nearly impossible to find. I hope this saves even one person from the frustration I'm experiencing right now.

I love the app and service! Great selection, fun titles. Technical issues on the cell phone app include, not being able to search (I just get a No Content error with a button to retry, but no actual option to search). Also, the cell phone app insists on automatically turning on captions when I start a new show, whereas the TV app doesn't. I haven't found an option in settings to change the default. Love the service overall, though!
