Ratings and reviews

Works well enough. most of the time, but there are certain movies where the TV app crashes immediately upon beginning playback. There doesn't seem to be a mechanism to send feedback or crash logs from a Chromecast device, so I'm not sure how this will ever get fixed.

The app seems fine so far except for one glaring omission. There seems to be no way to change the display options of the subtitles. If the app obeyed the devices accessibility settings that would at least be a workaround, because display options could be changed in the accessibility settings of the device. But it would be better if the app had its own subtitle settings. There's also no way to use a web browser to change the subtitle display settings.

It's free without ads and it absolutely has the best selection of films out of any streaming service, which makes it that much more of a shame that the app just doesn't work good. It is plagued with issues and today it's been stuttering so bad that I just can't watch anything on it after thorough troubleshooting.
