Ratings and reviews

I'm having the same issue as Tony, and apparently 500 some odd others "The application worked okay, has had a few bugs here and there, but the last update caused it to be unusable. The phone heats up, drains the battery, and the video gets choppy until it just crashes. I have the premium subscription, and the content I watch is downloaded, so it's not ads or a buffering issue. If this continues, I'm not paying for the subscription."

Been using for years as a premium member, but for the last few days the app has randomly shut down. I'll be listening to it in the background with the screen off, and the audio dies. I open the app, and it completely restarts. I go to my recently watched history, but when I select the same video I was just listening to, it starts from the very beginning with no saved progress. It's done this more than 30 times, so I'm uninstalling and reinstalling , with hopes that that will fix the issue.

Wish we could turn off the ability to hold for 2x speed. What an absolutely worthless shortcut. The amount of times it accidentally triggers when I'm swiping down to minimize a video and keep browsing is absurd. It has completely ruined the viewing experience. Speed is easily handled with the button. I don't need a shortcut for 2x speed. At least give us back the option to turn it off. I won't even get into the fact that recommendations are terrible and screwing over small channels.
