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.

Great app and so cool that I can access NEW movies with just my library card! The movie is wanted to watch was only available through a paid app subscription or as a rental. With this app, I was able to see it for free and with my library card! Very cool! Also, I am able to watch with NO ADS at all! I also have not experienced any glitches or problems like some of the reviews reported. Works great on my phone!

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.
