Terrible, it's nice to be able to watch the shows, but having to use the app is almost not worth it. Half the time it doesn't even start, then the screen will just stay blue. Also logging in took me 5 tries, as it just didn't work. The "next episode" button is not there and it is not easy to find the next episode, you have to look it all up again for every new episode you want to watch. Casting also works for 1 ep, but the app has to be restarted as it disconnects after every episode.

Terrible app. Developed by amateurs. You can't save shows to your watch list. You can't access shows you've previously watched to continue watching except using the search function. You can't get easily to the next episode; you have to return to the show, find the next episode, then click, then click again. You need Chromecast to watch on your smart TV. Not even worth the 3 euro monthly charge. This is a pity as there are some good British shows on there. If you can find them, that is.

Very bad app! While casting, volume controls on your mobile device won't work anymore. Only when you stop casting. Also casting in general doesn't work, it says it's connected to my TV but it still plays from the device itself. Thought I try it via the smart tv app, also doesn't work. The tv app crashes everytime when navigating to the live channels. Won't recommend this app!
