Ratings and reviews

It's like once they sell it to you they stop caring if it works. It used to hold my place in all my shows and I didn't have to remember what app I was watching it in. Now I go back to it and something I was just watching 2 hrs ago is no longer on my home page. The other day we googled a movie and it sent us to You Tube to buy it when it was available for free in one of our apps (Amazon Prime). All they cared about was that they got more money. Google TV used to be great, now, not so much.

I'm disappointed. The Play Movies & TV app was superior for watching shows. It kept track of where I was in a series, displaying the next episode for me to continue on right on the home page. Now I have to go to the library, shows, search for the season I purchased, then scroll through and find what I think was the episode I left off on (I rewatch series, so they all show as watched with progress on them).

When it works, it's great. I have found it unreliable. I paid for a movie and expected to watch it immediately. It would not load to my smart tv or computer. I ended up watching on my cell. Movie was great but not the same on a tiny screen. I have a subscription to Chicago Fire, which is almost useless because episodes sometimes take weeks to load. Sadly, the frustrations outweigh the value for me.
