### 1/5 — Chrome cast

*2025-04-07, version 2.1*

The new chrome cast option doesn’t work ..

### 1/5 — Could be better

*2025-03-06, version 2.0*

Not the best app to navigate.  Using it on Apple TV the navigation is poor, for example in the news section there is a large image at the top, you scroll down to see options and it flies past the first line of shows, so you can’t see what they are or pick them.

### 1/5 — Episodes Missing Archives

*2024-11-11, version 2.0*

I wanted to see what the Outsiders said about the US elections, but recent episode is missing. Please fix your app !!!

### 1/5 — Fix it

*2024-09-16, version 2.0*

I have the Roku version. It is constantly crashing and makes you sign in almost every time you use it. 

There’s no closed captioning, it’s almost impossible to rewind or FF and it ends the program you’re watching at least 30 seconds (or more) early. I’ve adjusted the settings and it makes no difference

### 1/5 — New Episodes Not Added

*2024-09-15*

It appears recent episodes of some shows do not appear in the archives of the app. Please fix your app !!!

### 1/5 — DONT!

*2024-09-04, version 2.0*

Huge fail on this app absolute rubbish (opps something went wrong) 

yes spend some money on new server perhaps that might fix it…..

### 1/5 — Shows Blocked.

*2024-08-18*

I reside in the US, but am suddenly told certain archived shows are unavailable because of my geographical location. Fix your app !!!

### 1/5 — not working

*2024-07-12, version 2.0*

purchased yesterday. I live in Australia and this app keeps it telling me "sorry this app is currently not available in your region" when I try to watch a program. What a waste of time and money. had to cancel but I lost a month subscription :(

### 1/5 — casting capability removed

*2024-07-03, version 2.0*

Latest version removes key casting capability.

### 2/5 — Does not cast

*2024-06-21, version 2.0*

Very disappointed to see the latest version of this app does not allow casting. Pretty annoying when I go to watch SkyNews on my TV and can’t cast it
