Shockingly Bad App with Good Content
If this app is maintained by anyone other than a retired hobbyist software developer in their spare time, I would be completely shocked. It’s surprising a channel with great entertainment could have an app so bad. The shortcomings of the experience here are significant, but to name a few:
1. The app frequently requires you to force close and re-open in order to clear a freeze. It will then lose your place in whatever you are watching.
2. It often starts new episodes at a random, usually halfway starting point.
3. It doesn’t bother to show you the season or episode numbers when you’ve downloaded shows, leaving it to your best guess on which is the next show in a season.
4. Switching to a separate app doesn’t automatically make a playing video switch to Picture in Picture like every competing streaming service application. Instead, it stops the video entirely.
Two stars as the app is able to play videos and offers good content.
