1. 1/5Very frustrating

   I've used at least 7 other streaming apps and none compare to this frustration. Impossible to rewind just a few seconds if you miss something. End up stuck with ads popping up at weird times then just skipped forward about half the show. Didn't capture where I left off last time and too difficult to find the right spot and then actually have it play from there after it decides to shove in more ads but then starts playing from somewhere else in the program. Having to login into my provider again and again is only a minor pain compared to all the other glitches.

2. 5/5Just be patient and watch the adds

   I feel lucky to even be able to see Doctor Who, so, as far as I’m concerned...I love this app! I appreciate the only app that allows me to see these shows. And trust me, you aren’t going to find them anywhere else, especially for free. So, endure the adds...critique them, judge their acting ability, ponder on the fact that they spent millions to make them and most are just irritating and never clever (like good ol’ Cal Worthington -N- his dog spot), go get food, whatever¿...just know that being able to see these fantastic shows is a gift...and purchasing them would be beyond expensive! :O ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ And be thankful that they aren’t doing the interactive adds; where you have to choose between surveying one commercial, or watching 5/6 of them :(............

3. 1/5Horrible

   Updating because 1. The chromecast option still isn’t working 2. The glitches in this thing are terrible. Watching an episode when all of a sudden it freezes and then re starts you from the beginning! And trying to fast forward to get back to where you were is frustrating when it only gives you the 15sec forward option. 3. If you leave the app and come back to it, it doesn’t let you start from where you left off. Although it does give you the option to, it still just starts you from the beginning again. This app is just frustrating and horrible to use overall

4. 1/5Did a monkey design this app?

   Of all the apps I have for various channels and streaming services, this is hands down the worst. Commercials that drop right in the middle of a scene, freezing, and god help you if you try to forward or rewind. Tap the “15 second” button either direction, and you are spinning a roulette wheel. See where it lands! Most likely all the way back to the beginning. Conveniently, if you try to fast-forward back to where you were, it keeps sending you back to the beginning. Everyone associated with the design of this app should be sacked, and banned from working in the industry again!

5. 1/5Too glitchy to use

   I use this on my Apple TV. I’ve been trying to watch Killing Eve but it’s impossible. Every time the Zales commercial comes on, my app crashes and closes. Then I have to open the app and go through an entire commercial break all over again, and then when that’s over, I have to scroll through and try to find my spot in the show where it crashed. Even when I choose “Resume” instead of “Restart,” the episode starts over from the beginning. I can see months of similar complaints in the reviews, so I can’t believe the app hasn’t been fixed yet. This is what happens when companies refuse to fund tech support.
