Ratings and reviews

While the streaming & downloading part of the app is fine, the store section of the app is appalling compared to the old format on the Google play store. There are less options available to see items on sale etc, and half of the pictures of the titles don't even load. It's a mess 😐. Also bring back text names below titles, as season 1 with no information on the title doesn't mean anything to anyone!. The store is honestly a big step backwards.

The move to YouTube is a frustrating mess. I no longer seem to have the option to 'continue watching' TV shows - I have to go to my library every time, scroll to find the show, scroll through all the episodes to find where I was - it's infuriating. There's also no subdivision of movies and shows, my library is just dumped together under one tab. The platform is not user friendly and it's putting me off using the services in future.

Can't see the point of this app. I have my purchased films which I can watch on You Tube. When you click on the Google TV app to watch a 'free' show or film, it just sends you to the home page of, for example the ITV hub app. I could have done that without using the Google app, and then to cap it all, the hub then wants you to download and then create an account to watch the program. What a parlava when you simply just want to watch a show, and not spend 10 minutes just trying to get to it.
