    By Laura luv (Pcmac user)

    If casting to TV don’t even bother with this app. It’s just nonstop commercials anytime you do anything. Even to rewind it’s another commercial! There’s no FF or rewind 10 or 30 seconds. Try to fast forward if you need to get back to your spot (because it won’t save your spot), ALL the commercials and then 10 seconds later another commercial! Forget trying to get closed captioning or even pause. Literally none of the controls work and sometimes you think you’re just watching a commercial but when it comes back it’s playing an entirely different movie! More frustration than its worth. What upsets me the most is no closed captioning. So people with hearing issues just don’t matter? Absolutely despicable. Shame on you for not fixing the problem. And stop asking people to tell you more about what they’re experiencing, just test it out yourself! You ARE the app developer. I’m not buying it that you don’t know these problems exist. I’m not the first one to comment. Just, shame on you.
  • Buggy and missing features

    By Heckima (Pcmac user)

    I do like the shows available, and I could even stand the amount of commercials if it wasn’t for the buggy video and missing features. If you switch out of the app, or your phone goes to sleep momentarily, the video will not play at all if you try pressing the play button again. Instead, you have to exit the show and scroll to find the episode you were on again, click it, and hope it works (because sometimes you’ll get a playback error). As for the features, there’s a rewind 10 seconds button but no skip 10 forward button. It’s incredibly annoying, especially since trying to track accurately on the video player is a nightmare, and there’s no Netflix-like feature where the show will auto-skip or provide the option to skip opening sequences/recaps that waste your time. I’d like to be able to at least skip 10 if I want to. One last thing to note, using this app on a smart TV shows the amount of commercials in a commercial break while this does not show up on mobile. It’s a smaller thing, but it does end up feeling like you’re sitting through endless commercials when you don’t have a number in the corner to keep track.
  • Casting works even worse Horrible!

    By Angrymonkeymermaid (Pcmac user)

    The app works fine. However, casting is stops working after the first commercial break. When the first commercial plays the video and audio stop syncing up. So what you will have is the commercial playing but you will hear the movie audio when it comes back from commercial break. And the after the 2nd or 3rd commercial break the app crashes. I dont have this problem with any other app so I know it’s just this app which is already updated. They wrote that they updated the performance but the performance is worse.
  • Love that there’s an app, but glitchy

    By KatCaLa (Pcmac user)

    I love this app shows so I’m incredibly happy there’s an app, but if you try to pause or rewind, you’re done. The commercials don’t come on when a typical commercial break would start. I’m talking like someone is in the middle of a sentence and boom, random commercial. Sometimes I really do just give up on whatever show I’m watching for a few hours because it will start in a random location of the show. Will I still use it? yup. Is it a bit of a pain? Yup.
