Ratings and reviews

One of my favorite details of XUMO as I am comparing it with similar apps is the translucent band for scrolling. I find it rather funny that initially everyone was so excited by touchscreens. But in reality a lot of convenience gadgets are more annoying than convenient. The focused scroll in XUMO makes dealing with touchscreens in one way much better. Programming wise, I am still checking it out. It appears as if XUMO is trying to bring something different to the genre.

Potential but lacks very basic but important features. Tons of free content with minimal ad interruptions. Only app that has all the seasons of a show I wanted to binge. But this service has no search feature, no way to favorite a show, no way to just pick up where you left off on a show, and the screen times out very fast when you navigate the menu or even when you pause whatever you had playing. Also, no user sign-in which also means no cross-device sync with show/movie progress.

I really love the variety of programs they provide, but their ads are ridiculous. I know ads are what allow them to provide free content, but the number of ads they have is far more frequent than other services. In addition, they will also have the same ad repeat 3 or 4 times in a row. Ads don't do any good if you're annoying and pissing off the people watching them. So, as much as I like the variety of options, I can only watch Xumo for a very short time before I get fed up & turn it off.
