Horrible App

Absolute worst streaming app we have ever used. It takes at least 2 tries to get the app to work - we have to turn the TV off and back on, then pull the app up 3, 4 sometimes 5 times, and often have to go through the cycle at least one more time. It takes up to 15 minutes just to get one program up and you mostly can’t get another program, to come up after it without going thru the same darn ritual. If I didn’t like their programs we would have ditched it. We will dump the app as soon as I finish the shows I like. Doubt I’ll try them again.

Beats American!

I’m a Canadian and long before Trump I hated American TV… European TV just felt more wholesome and good. Even murder mysteries included so much more humanity. Never going back!
