Failure across the board

The app just spins and never shows the TV provider list. I can’t access any show and unlocking them fails due to the inability to select or even see the provider list.

Poor Functionality

Been using the app for over a year and while I love the shows, the app is in desperate need of updating or at least limit the freezing/buffering. Happens on cellular as well as WiFi. Ads will play then freeze and have to close out the app and reopen. Also, it is very difficult to scroll on the app. If your finger isn’t scrolling precisely up or down it will close out and go back to the previous page.

Just won't take money

Been trying to subscribe to their paid service for awhile.. several attempts, and it just spins and spins. Everything else loads but it doesn't work. Never seen a content company fail at taking your money. At this point, I'm gonna say they just don't want the subscribers. Oh well.
Saved me money.

Review

Despite ads showing more than usual it’s cool. You would think having 2 options between a 30 second ad and a 2 minute ad, by choosing the 2 minute ad, you would have a longer show time but that’s incorrect. I get to watch my show every 2 minutes lol. Seems like it’s just way too many ads.

Waste of an App

We are streamers, meaning we have apps to watch our shows. Came to download this app to watch squatter’s. And surprise surprise. No in-app purchases. Tried using my Disney+/HULU through Verizon. Guess what not allowed. Oh but for a gazillion dollars a month in cable fees you too can stream

Not enough unlocked shows

I like A&E, I wish the company would give an option to pay a subscription as I do not have a cable account and dot not want one. I stream every thing.

Too many bugs

App freezes every other episode of squatters(the only reason i downloaded it) and constantly crashes and runs me extra ads after choosing 1 interactive ad it still plays out 7 more 3 times an episode

Can’t enable my cable provider

Can’t watch locked shows since app or web site won’t allow me to enable my cable provider. Sucks

Glitchy

It has glitches especially when traveling and will restart program from beginning

Way to many commercials / ads

You only get to watch like 30 seconds to 1 minute of content and then have to watch 2 minutes of ads. Way more ads then actual show.

Way to many commercials

Irrelevant commercials in foreign languages, even when signed in with TV provider.

No access

Why isn’t there a selection for Google/ You Tube Tv? I wanted to watch a program and could not gain access even if I paid for it.

Great for free tv

The shows on here are amazing and the ads are even better then YouTube ads

Constantly having to sign in and out of TV provider

No complaints other than I constantly have to sign in and out of my tv provider in order to access episodes.

I will literally watch one episode, then when I want to watch the next one will have to sign in and out because it will tell me I can’t access the show because of my tv provider.

The constant sign in sign out is super irritating

Squatters

I really enjoyed this show

Commercials and Screen Sharing

The commercials are out of control. You start out with one, but by the time you get to the end, there’s seven. I understand it’s a free app and I should watch commercials but 28 commercials in one 30 min program is a bit much. In addition, it keeps telling me to stop recording the screen when I’m screen mirroring. I watch on different televisions in different households and screen mirroring is the best option sometimes.

Review

It’s an app.

The ads

I know we have to watch ads but in Spanish??? And after the ad is over, it takes another 30 seconds to get back the program. Ridiculous. Shouldn’t have to watch so many and definitely not the same ad over and over and in Spanish. Drives me crazy!!!!

Hate this app

Love the channel but for a channel with such high caliber shows the app is worthless.

App won’t load

Absolutely garbage app. It won’t load on my smart tv, so I tried to screen mirror from my phone onto my tv and it got flagged as me trying to record the show. This was after I had to delete other apps to make room (large app, almost 9mb). Terrible product, stay away
