Ratings and reviews

Website design places the all-important "cast" button beyond the tactile reach of the user!! The "cast" icon is just barely visible as it peeks out below the app screen's upper cut-off. So it doesn't respond to tapping. Definitely needs a layout reorganisation. Also "hidden" is the scoreboard box that's meant to show how many views remain for the month. All told, a really poor user experience for what is a real treasure-trove of video resources.

Terrible app, barely functions. Two thirds of the way through every film while casting, a drm error message that won't go away and/or drop. Error message persists after resuming. Ruins the experience every time. Search function UI is very bad. UI generally is basic at best. Little to no useful organization of content. Did I mention it drops or gives an error two thirds of the way through every film? Every film. Every single one. I'd be embarrassed if I were the developers.

Top is cut off so its hard to tap on the cast button on top of the screen. So far the suggestions made by tech support haven't fixed it. Also the only way to clear a movie from "continue watching" is to fast forward the movie to the end. Last, It would be nice if there was a way to make the app or phone os memorize the login.
