Ratings and reviews

Movie selection is excellent. However, navigation is fairly poor. It resets your position when going back and forth between screens. Android TV and Apple TV apps also don't support frame rate matching, which is vital for movie lovers wanting to watch movies on their TV they way they were intended, without any frame judder. Not only that's, but the Apple TV app no longer plays video. It prompts for an update that doesn't exist! Would give the service 5 stars if all these issues were fixed.

so cool that you can watch free movies no adds as long as you have a library card or a student ID. for those who have issues with a pop up message make sure you go to the settings of the app and enable tge Data on slide bar. that got it to work. 100 stars. no moresubscribtions to any other paid apps.

The Android app used to be good. At the moment, however (June 2025),the Chromecast connection fails as soon as the app loses focus, e. g. when switching to another app to check something. The video keeps playing, but there's no way to control it. You have I force a Chromecast disconnect, and then start play again - from the beginning.
