Ratings and reviews

Small nuance but highly frustrating , you'll have to log into the app and accept cookies frequently. I would like to not have to do this every week and expect the log in experience to share that of other streaming services. Also, if you view a video ( any series) while not logged in that video will not load even after logging in. You will have to close the app, clear the storage and then reopen.

Look, two things can be true at the same time: I adore and love Critcal Role, their content, and their values; however, I loathe this app. I have to reinstall the app now every time I try to continue to watch a video so that I can get rid of the "technical error" glitch.

Video playbacks works fine, but it feels like it must be a resource hog because my phone (Pixel 7) gets quite hot and drains battery fast. Additionally, if I have to pause playback for for a few minutes, the video playback will error out and I'll have to close and restart the app (typically twice) to get video play ack to work again. In its credit, it usually will, at that point, pick up where it left off without error. IITY
