Love the shows hate the app
Tried to watch an old episode of trucks 29:00 mins long only 12:00 mins is the show the rest is the same 2 ads over and over and over and over and over and over and over back to back to back to back to back to back. So I’m sticking with the motor trend app...
PowerNation TV
Love the programs! Works and functions OK but content is not what’s advertised as no commercials and implying unlimited viewing of current and past episodes. There are Imbedded commercials in each episode and a max limit to the number of shows that can be viewed consecutively. The Fast forward function appears to penalize you when you try to move quickly through the imbedded commercials. It slows down and I reach my quota on the first episode after FF through the commercials. If I watch the show not activating FF, I reached my quota after two shows watched consecutively. After quota reached you can watch the next episode for about 1 minute then PN shuts you out, stating you’ve reached your quota. After questioning this from PN directly, I received an acknowledgment and have not received a response for two weeks. Not worth the aggravation and problems. I’ve decided to cancel my online subscription. Now looking for cable options to record the shows once a week and FF through the commercials, as I use to.

Terrible app
Most of the time I can only get about 2 minutes into the episode before the voices become out of sync with the video on the screen. Then after paying $5 a month to avoid commercials I still have to watch commercials, and that’s not the worst part. What’s worse is that there’s only 2-3 commercials just played over and over and over. The episode is only 18 minutes long and I have to watch literally 20 commercials. They play about 4 every commercial break. Then if you’re lucky the app will play til the end without crashing but it usually crashes before you can finish an episode. This is the worst app ever a newborn baby could develop a better functioning product. The app owner should be ashamed to take people’s money for this garbage.

Too many commercials
21 commercials in an 18 minute show - for only 3 products, and two were toys. Deleting the app now.
App Developers Don’t Respond to issues
This app has many known issues and the developers don’t respond to any of them. It’s too bad because we all love the shows.
I’ll be canceling my subscription soon if they can’t get it together.

Not commercial free
The main reason I got this was because it was supposed to be commercial free. I can’t get thru my first episode without commercials from ARP, summit every couple minutes
Apple TV app very frustrating
The menu doesn’t work properly. It takes four or five tries to select the show you want. If you don’t scroll through the menu fast enough the menu disappears and you have to start all over again. Very disappointing for $4.99 a month.
App not working anymore
Can’t get shows to load. Worthless at this point.
Where are the shows?
The recent, unexplained lack of support for the current season disappearing, and this morning, the “Shows” tab blanking and locking up, is the reason why I’m uninstalling the app altogether. Weeks of “maybe this time” and “well, they’ll probably fix/correct it this week” has lead to disappointment. I’ll watch online occasionally, but the app - Bye bye. This used to be my weekend early morning routine. I may have been a week or two behind, but this is my only way to watch the episodes at 6AM EST, quietly, without bothering anyone. I was on vacation, sharing a house in the mountains with 7 other people who did NOT wake up as early as I, and I still enjoyed a cool Mountain view in a rocking chair on the porch, with a warm coffee, watching Powernation through the app. Heck! Even the “persistent” commercials nudged me to click, and eventually buy, from the vendors. Most recently, I purchased from JEGS, for a repair part I wouldn’t have thought of were it not for these commercials in episodes.
The recent kerfuffle in episodic stupidity has all changed, and eliminated, my need for this app anymore.

Absolutely why?
This app was great until a couple weeks ago when all of a sudden season 5 was no longer on the app. The show keeps running but season 5 is no where to be found. I would religiously watch these and have for many years but now I no longer can because RTM has decided for whatever reason to pull the current season off the app. I am very extremely disappointed as now I can’t watch the shows anymore.
