Ratings and reviews

Love it! The app does what I want, and gives me the freedom to watch what I like, away from my TV. It's intuitive and user friendly! There's 2 reasons it's not 5 stars: 1) the app's tendency to hijack my TV's audio when I'm watching on mobile in another room 2) the need to back-out/restart a show, sometimes episodes later, if app hangs due to connectivity issues.

Heaven help you if you let your phone go to sleep with the app open, or if you use another app for too long (generally more than a minute). Every time you do, the app WILL freeze without fail, fruitlessly searching for either Internet or the last connected device. It will NEVER find either, so you'll have to close and reopen the app every time.

Don't waste your time with this garbage app. I'm logged into the app, yet it can't find my registered devices, all set to the same network. It's like they don't exist, but I'm actively using them and my router software knows they exist. Make the app scan the for serial numbers. Make the app realize the IP address I've told it is correct. Do anything useful, and this could earn an extra star.
