Inexcusably bad

Unusable. Gives BFI a bad name.

Awful. Doesn’t work

I have tried and tried, I paid the money, I got the confirmation that it’s paid, I login everything is locked. I restore purchases everything’s locked. It simply doesn’t work. The help center says to go to the bottom of the screen and click on profile. There is no profile at the bottom of the screen.

Terrible

Worked an hour on setting up my phone with my TV. The password won’t be recognized. I’ve changed it many times I’ve never had this problem with any channels!
