Glitchy trash
This app is pretty bad. Some good content if you can get it to play properly.
Outside+ app continually crashes on Roku Smart TV
Outside+ app continually crashes on Roku Smart TV this has been occurring for two years since I started my subscription. The app works fine on my iPhone but won’t play any movies or content on my TV. I have contacted Outside Magazine about this going back two years and they still haven’t done anything to fix this issue.
I have deleted the app and reinstalled it multiple times. I have checked for any software updates. I have gone through all their useless troubleshooting tips. The App does not function as it should.
I didn’t sign up for this subscription to watch content on my phone. I just want to watch content at home on my smart tv, why is that so hard to accomplish?!

Lacking basic features
I wanted to love this app because I enjoy a lot of the content, but it just seems like a dumping ground for videos. There is no search function anymore. There was, and then it disappeared. There is no "continue watching" so you have to go looking for what you last watched (which is especially fun with no search function). There are also no subtitles available, so if you are hard of hearing, you're out of luck. It's really too bad, if they just put a tiny bit of effort into basic functionality, it would be a fun app.

Not worth paying for
I really don’t know what I am paying for.
I got a deal on Trailforks at Warren Miller last year, and Outside + was part of it. I was a user of Trailforks before you started charging for it and I thought it was the better app versus MTB Project.
Now, there isn’t the community adding trails and conditions to the app that there was prior to paying for it.
I have tried to watch a few things on the Outside tv and I think they are fine, but uninspiring. I think I would watch them sometimes if they were free, but I will not continue to pay to watch them.

No Chromecast option
I probably won’t watch any of these shows because it doesn’t support Chromecast. Too bad!
Why confuse FIS with aces with a new streamer?
They finally started dialing in streaming for FIS Nordic and downhill races and then outside decided to jump in on the mix. Great, could be awesome except the best announcers stayed with peacock and now you can only live stream. For die hard fans who follow the circuit all season, so disappointing to have it totally changed just for the US races. And why no on demand right after the race has finished?! Instead we have to wait for an undetermined amount of days at which time we’ve already found out the results. SO DISAPPOINTED with the Loppet Cup coverage. Huge races for the Americans yet we in America can’t even watch on demand on peacock bc outside jumped in and took the streaming and ALSO won’t put it on demand. Awful all around

Garbage tvOS app
Can’t even log in. I get an Internal Server Error each time. But it does work on iOS… 🙄
Outside Watch… great content, terrible player
Really enjoy the content available on the App but the movie player platform is awful. It is really hard to navigate, pause, restart.
Poor video quality for event playback
I just tried to watch the replay of run 1 of the World Cup Giant Slalom ski race from Killington on November 25th. The video quality is terrible, switching continuously back and forth between normal quality and highly pixelated. Complete amateur hour. It’s 2023. Streaming video has been a solved problem for at least a decade. How is this even possible. Your customers, and also the US Ski Association who sold you the broadcast rights for their races deserve better than this. Whoever in your organization thinks this is acceptable should be ashamed .

No chromecast
There’s a useless icon to enable chromecast but it never connects limiting a user to only watch on phone. For the cost of a subscription they should able to make an app that actually works. The only work around is using apple connect to a apple connect device. I gave it one star because a feature should be able to do what it is intended for.
