Ratings and reviews

The selection is alright, but the UI is absolute trash. The entire thing looks like something a college freshman knocked out in a month. I'm also not sure why on Earth they decided to use an in-app on screen keyboard. This review was made on Google's Chromecast gboard and it types without any delay after every input unlike the in-app keyboard. I'm not asking for a Premium app for this price, just some quality of life improvements and easier navigation.

The selection is alright but it is by far the worst streaming app I've ever used. First off there is no sign of a way to open your watchlist so there's no point in having one. second the continue watching makes things more difficult as it takes you to the page of the individual episode and not the actual show your watching so you have to search the show repeatedly to watch the following episode. Not just that but if you leave an episode half way through good luck getting it off the continue watching. Third there is no skip intro feature at all and the skip button only allows for 30 seconds at a time which is it's own pain. Fourth is the keyboard which makes the whole system lag out, why they couldn't use the keyboard built into the device I have no idea. there are many more issues but those are definitely the biggest.

When you scroll through shows, you should have it display the name of the show somewhere. Either on the card or at the top of the screen like other apps do, it's sometimes hard to see what show you're looking at. Also, in the history (which is under "settings" for some dumb reason), you can't see the show name at all. Under profile, you can't change your name since it uses a stupid keyboard instead of the built-in Android one. When "autoplay" (in profile) is set to off, it still autoplays.
