  • Terrible

    It’s insane to me that in the year 2019 using a high speed WiFi and/or cellular data connection I’m still unable to watch a 10 minute episode of on cinema at the cinema on the live stream because random frames keep getting stuck onscreen no matter what I do. I can't even watch the previously aired episodes on the app without getting a black screen or a frozen frame of an AT&T ad. This app is absolutely perfect if all you want to do is listen to your favorite shows and streams. Otherwise you’re way better off just waiting until someone uploads the full episode of whatever you’re watching somewhere else (I'd give it two to four hours) ✌️✌️✌️✌️

  • Stuck in portrait mode on iPad

    App works great until you try to make it full screen. When I press the full screen icon nothing happens and it stays in portrait mode, in the past this would change it to landscape.

    Update per response from Developer - I’m on an iPad Pro 10.5 with the latest iOS build (12.4.1). I did find a temporary workaround. Once the episode is playing if you minimize it to a different app, then go back it’s now in landscape mode.

  • Airplay just doesn’t work

    No matter what, I cannot get shows to stream via Airplay. Once in a while the ad will play (of course), but then the show will just show a spinning wheel. Plays in the app fine, but airplay does not work.

    Edit in response to comment: yes, using the airplay button in the app. And no, same issue regardless of waiting for the ad to play or not. Switching over from app playing the video to tv just shows spinning wheel on the TV. Also affect the live stream where no ad plays before video starts. If it helps, this is Airplay on a Samsung TV. Also, I’m able to cast to a Chromecast without issue.

  • It’s good enough

    It’s a good app, it works, and I appreciate the content that’s available. There’s a lot of Adult Swim content that’s really hard to find. I think my main concern is something like going forwards or backwards, because if I just use the bar I usually end up skipping ahead too far or going back too far.

    Also I don’t know if this was updated, but when I tried to rewatch shows, it used to put me near the end, and when I tried to restart them I ended up watching an ad, and then ending up where I was before, and that was really frustrating.

    I also don’t understand why some shows are locked, but I think that’s more of an Adult Swim problem rather than the app alone.

    Are you still having the issue with restarting an episode and it putting you at the end? Some episodes are locked because you have to have a cable provider login to watch them. But fear not! As you mentioned, there's plenty of free content available for your consumption.
  • Horrible

    I can’t say much about this app because every time I try to watch anything, about once in every 15 times I try to load anything I might get picture of the opening ad. Then go through that maybe another 10 times before it will stop freezing the picture during the ad just to freeze at the start of the video. Very disappointing that it takes over an hour just to watch something that’s less than 30 minutes. Pathetic really. Just now I have spent the past 10 hours trying to watch a single episode on this app and couldn’t even make it to the half-way commercials. This is 2019 and your app acts like it was written in the 90’s and never updated. Actually I take that back, in the 90’s even with the slowest dialup speed I could watch a 30 minute episode of something faster than this. Let that sink in guys..... your app is worse than 90’s speed on a 90’s program. Full service 4G on a modern app should never be this bad.

    Could you tell us if this issue happened on an episode or a stream and which episode or stream you were watching? It sounds like you need to try switching your network. The video quality and speed adjusts to your device's network speed.
  • Request for landscape mode for iPad and iPad Pro

    Just got this app, and I’m looking forward to using it. But I had planned to watch things on my 12.9 inch iPad Pro. However, this app is primarily based in portrait mode. Even though I have discovered I can watch some shows in landscape mode, it takes quite a bit of finagling with an unwieldy 12.9 inch iPad to do so.

    It seems more logical that the entire app should be designed for both landscape and portrait mode, especially with regard to iPads. I am not sure why the app does not offer landscape mode but I hope that is on the horizon as otherwise it makes watching on an iPad and navigating the app difficult.

    Chatting on an iPad on this app is also not possible in my usage since chat is in portrait mode only.

    I wish there were more complete seasons available since I like to start from the beginning. Otherwise I am excited for this app! Thank you.

  • Problems

    I went into the app and it kept saying there was a problem, I am connected to WiFi but I still couldn’t get to the first page. If you can fix that it would be great I’m super excited to use the app.

    Edit: the problem is still there, I’m going to describe the scene. It’s white except for the [as] in the middle and a red bar at the bottom saying that there is a problem, and there is a retry button where it tries to reload for half a second then stays the same. I have reset my phone several times and I have the latest iPhone updates, I am also connected to a strong WiFi signal.

  • New iPhone sizing issue

    Fullscreen sizing issue on the new iPhone Xs Max. Landscape fullscreen cuts off too much of the top and bottom to the point you outright won’t see a translated subtitle in landscape mode. Posting this review as a means to get attention to the issue so that it can fit the screens rather than be zoomed and outright cut off large portions. Needing to view episodes while having the phone vertical is killer as

    1. The content is too small at this point.
    And
    2. The rest of the screen below that is taken up by the episodes description.

    Once this is fixed I’ll pop the app to 4 stars (as I feel it really should be) and only gave it two in the hopes to flag the issues down. I don’t believe in the 1 star reviews because it still works, just not optimally.

    Edit; Problem was fixed, the phone itself didn’t have Zoom on in accessibility but the app was permanently zoomed. Other apps let you double tap to zoom but this one was stuck on. I gave it a fresh install and the sizing issue is gone. The screen can now be double tapped to zoom in and out. I’m not sure if it’s because the app from from my previous phones backup but the fresh install did end up fixing it.

  • Apple TV functionality is broken.

    Screen Mirroring is a poor substitute for a native Apple TV app. I shouldn’t need two devices to watch one show. Also, your iOS app stops playing after the first commercial break - you can watch the rest from your iOS device, but the Apple TV never gets to display the rest of the episode. There’s no reason why it should be this bad.

    Edit post-response: iOS uses AirPlay to sling the media to my Apple TV, and that's where the first commercial break stops every episode cold. So, your response fixes nothing and helped nothing. Great job.

    It would probably be a lot better with a dedicated Apple TV app, but I guess Cartoon Network isn't interested in hitting the accessibility bar that every other major cable network seems able to. Guess that's what they make VLC for, they have an Apple TV app.

    Thank you for the review! We now have an Apple TV app just in time for the holidays! Think of this as our gift to you. It's the only gift we're giving you so….
  • Worse problems after most recent update...

    So, I made a review a lil while ago about how after the commercials the show would come back sound only with a black screen. Well, I don’t have that prob anymore, but now that I updated the app, I can’t make it full screen. The tab does nothing when pushed nor does it go full screen when I turn my phone sideways. Super annoying!! I’ve been an adult swim fan since it first started on tv... but the app has given me nothing but trouble since the day I downloaded it. I tried deleting the app n downloading it again, but nothing changed. I admit, I’m not the most tech savvy person alive to say the least. But I do know how to touch an option on the screen, and it’s not working. Please help?!!
