2/5So aggravating!!
I love ID channel and for the first several months, I loved the app. However, for the last couple of months it has started acting up. The app will TOTALLY shut down at LEAST once during EACH show I try to watch. Then when I restart the app, SOMETIMES the show I was watching will appear in the “Continue Watching” category, but more likely, it’s not there. So then I have to locate the show again, and start it from the beginning, and TRY to remember where I was. Then I must try to locate this point, and more often than not, it takes 3-4 times skipping through the show; as a result, I must then endure a series of 5-8 ads each time, which ends up totaling anywhere from 15-24 ads BACK TO BACK before I am FINALLY able to resume the show. The LAST time it crashed in the middle of an episode, when I reloaded the app and went to resume watching, there were red keys on EVERY show and NOTHING would play, due to “parental control services technical issues”!!! I was still signed in with my cable provider, and there was absolutely NO WAY on the app nor the website to set or turn off parental controls!! I ended up having to completely uninstall the app and reinstall and reactivate it!! These issues have made my time spent watching the app SO FRUSTRATING, to where it’s very difficult to enjoy watching the shows! Please, PLEASE work these bugs out quickly! I see from other reviews a majority of these problems have been occurring for several months....

1/5Worst app EVER!!! DONT SUPPORT IT!!
TOO MANY ADDS!! DONT DOWNLOAD THIS APP TRUST ME. ID is my favorite channel with all my favorite shows on it that I watch every single day however their app on the phone, tv, Roku, all of them are extremely frustrating to the point that I have deleted all of the apps and I will actually sacrifice not watching the shows I love (on the app)in order to avoid having to watch 20 adds in just one 45 minute show. So Instead I record all my favorite shows on the cable box and pay 100$ or more per month JUST to AVOID having to watch all the commercials. I will completely just stop watching TV all together (and paying for it) if it ever gets to a point where I’m unable to avoid watching commercials. I will NOT pay for, or support an app that forces you to watch 7 adds every 5 minutes. It’s just ridiculous to even know that they have been doing this successfully for years. If everyone did not download this ridiculous app and avoided it for some time they would be forced to change the amount of adds that they put up. So bite the bullet and do not support this app and it will have no choice but to make it enjoyable. If they want to charge to avoid these adds to the people that choose to that’s fine with me.

1/5Frustrating
I love ID content, and I switched cable providers to ensure I still had ID but having AT&T I don’t get ID on demand like I did with Comcast, so I need to use the app with chromecast. The app is so frustrating. It usually doesn’t save the shows I’m watching under “continue watching”. I don’t even understand how it decides which shows to log in continue watching because it’s so random. I just paused it to take a phone call, and when I went back to the app to continue playing the episode it refreshed so I lost the show I was watching and had to start from the beginning...which means having to sit through an insane amount of commercials. You can’t fast forward or rewind without having to sit through commercials, even if you went to the spot you left off on and were wrong. Honestly, too many commercials. I would pay extra for an ad free experience. I just want to add that I will never consider any of the products or services that are advertised during these shows because it is so excessive, it actually is making me hate the companies advertising. I pay for cable already. I can’t use Comcast anymore because they have so many issues in my area, but I pay for cable specifically for ID access. Literally no other reason to have it. If I had on demand I could fast forward through them, but that is no longer an option with AT&T. Throw us a dang bone.

3/5App could use a few tweaks...
I really love the ID Channel but the TV app (thru Roku) can be frustrating. My biggest complaint is that once you open the app & start searching there’s no easy way to get back to the home screen. Can’t you put that option in “*Options”? Instead you have to go back, back, back (however many screens you’ve clicked on) until you’re lucky enough to finally find the home page. Usually I end up exiting the app & going back in just to get to home page. Another complaint is the “All Shows” feature. It’s nice that they’re all listed (& in alphabetical order) but it takes forever to scroll through all of them if you need to get to one towards the end. It would be better if they were in groups such as “A-D”, “E-H”, etc. OR have the search on that page (instead of redundant search feature) & the show name would pop up as you’re typing. Like, if I typed in “Murd...” all shows would pop up that have those letters then just scroll over to the show I want. Lastly, once you open a show title, the episode description is so small you can barely read it. It looks like there’s plenty of room to use a bigger font or use bigger font with “cont’d” button (or scroll) if more room is needed (the orig air date is also a bit small). I hope you find these suggestions helpful!

4/5Love this App
I’ve been consistently streaming this app for some time now and I really like it. The only thing I wish you would change is at the end of each show, the screen minimizes to a smaller picture in which to allow the episodes name and description info to pop up in the bottom half of the screen. Is this necessary? There are times when I really want to see the ending of an episode more clearly and when the picture is minimized it takes some of the experience away. And why does the info of the episode I’m watching need to pop up? If I wanted to read that info, I can touch the screen at any time to view it during the episode. I don’t want it to automatically pop up at the end, disrupting my viewing. I could see having that pop up at the beginning of a new episode, but not at the end. Please change this. Other than that, the only other thing I can say is... we need more new content... I’ve almost seen everything. Thank you.
