Ratings and reviews

initially, I refused to believe all those negative comments in here, but turned out, they're just true. at first, I failed to find something as simple as a pause button (they offer restarted, but I can't figure skipping nor pausing), and as soon as the first ad started playing (about a minute in), the app just completely crashed. and that's what they've the audacity to charge they customers for? first, hire a developer and then we can talk again! (one "honorary" star because the news are good.)

A very basic app with a number of issues: • No background use. App stops streaming if it is not in the foreground. Thus also no floating window option. • No meaningful buffering. WiFi signal interruptions mean the stream cuts off and picks up at a later point. • Menu bar at bottom covers over video on low-resolution screens, and there is no way to hide it or have the video go fullscreen. • App ignores manual screen rotate requests (tested on a Motorola g6 phone). To get to fullscreen, auto-rotate must be enabled and phone must be rotated physically. • Essentially no settings, alerts, or program guide. • On the plus side, seems to work reasonably well with Chromecast. • Content is subscription only, and offers no previews or free material. It is thus unlikely to build an audience beyond people who really want to watch Fox News, or who have to for whatever reason. • Subscription is purchased in the Google Play Store, so it's also not clear how this can be transferred from one platform to another, such as if you want to watch on both an Android phone and an iPad, or in future an Amazon device. It also makes it 30 percent more expensive, as Google take their cut. • Relatively expensive, costing the same as or more than the likes of Disney+ but offering just two cable channels. There is no lower price for long-term subscriptions. Expect a lot of cancellations after the US election.

I download this free app on 04 Nov, but today I noticed that I had 2 monthly charges of £6.49 !? I didn't make any "in-app-purchase" nor I sign up for a "subscription", furthermore, I didn't authorise these 2 transactions that look like Direct Debit. I have now gone back to my Google Play account and requested a refund. If I could give zero star, I would !!!
