Ratings and reviews

It works well when it works, but doesnt like being switched to another app. 2 fixes please: 1) When you switch back into it the program guide dies and channel doesnt show info. 2) Like almost every other streaming service, when you minimise the app allow it to remain on top in a smaller box at the corner of the screen. sometimes i want to see it but still do other stuff!

If you have tried casting and get an error 90% of the time. I figured out a little trick...1. press cast 2. when it says ready on the tv, press play on your movie 3. When its about to start, skip forward 30 seconds, sometimes i skip another 30 right after 4. Let it play. I dont know why, it just seems to work and not get the error. Also very annoying when it still says to watch an episode thats already watched. Its hard to keep track of which episodes next. Not very thought out.

Very buggy. It's great when it works, but as other people have mentioned, I get error messages at least daily. The app should be called "oops we're having trouble playing this clip". Signing out and then back in again works sometimes, other times I have to clear the cache and log in again but that uses up one of my logins and I have to wait a month to delete one. I have no idea why they don't just fix it, My other streaming apps work fine (Netflix, Prime, even Spark Sport).
