Ratings and reviews

Subtitles stop working every time there's an ad, which is often. Then there's no option to turn back on. When I try to restart the AP and continue watching it immediately starts more ad. When the program does resume, the option to turn on subtitles is gone again. Ridiculous lack of functionality for an app that has been around for a while.

I would give this app 5 stars if it weren't for the annoyingly loud ads (usually for some assinine app that I wouldn't get in a million years). When my wife and I are trying to wind down for the evening, irrelevant ads at excessively loud volume are not appealing. I know they need ads for revenue, but I know that "volume leveling" is possible. I'm almost to the point of deleting the app because of this

Closed captions are problematic on Onn stick. They go away after commercial breaks and don't return unless you back out of playback, then resume playback, and sometimes it plays another commercial and the captions still don't resume. It worked correctly on Fire Stick but not Onn stick.
