Quite possibly the worst Apple TV app I have seen
To begin with, the TV show selection is pretty good and getting better. If you are a fan of non-US produced TV, it's terrific.
However, the app itself is horrible. It's bad enough that canceling after the three month (reduced fee) trial is a real possibility. Here’s a short list of the navigation and ease of use issues I have had over the last 3 weeks:
1. Adding shows to your List does not add all seasons of a show to your list
2. Finishing a season does not automatically take you to the next season
3. Sometimes finding the next season is difficult, requiring another search
4. Search results don't tell you which season an episode is from
5. Search results show episodes in reverse order
6. Watching an episode, turning the tv off for the night, and turning it back on the next day doesn't take you to the next episode
My list of complaints continues and one must wonder who designed the user interface. Developers are not (usually) good UI designers or testers. You have to have some designers who know all levels of users and how people think. I'm not suggesting designing it for a five-year-old or their great-great grandparents. But it has to work better than it does.
MHz should check out some competitors and get some ideas from them.
*** Note: This is from my experience with the Apple TV version of MHz. I have no experience with apps designed for other platforms.

Nice break from regular cop shows
Sketchy-no way to remove cc from acct. can only add.
Update: wish they would stop sending me emails offering 50% off for 6 months. It’s false advertising because they charge my cc full price each month. Contacted them and was told it was because I wasn’t a new member. But when I signed up it showed 50% off in the confirmation but they charged my cc full price.
In the past they offered me a 50% off for six months. They honored that for just 3 months. Requested a refund but never received it so I canceled. Recently I decided I would give them one more try after I received an email from them offering 50% off for 6 months. This time they charged full price from the very beginning. I’ve canceled. I suggest if you subscribe you should check the charge each month.
