### 3/5 — App not bad, but unattended service/collection is frustrating

*2024-07-08*

Huge Boomerang fan and have been a subscriber for several years. The app is solid and is about the only TV/movie watching that happens on my iPad. That said, there used to be regular uploads of content… adding new shows, adding more episodes, etc. That hasn’t happened in some time and is felt in categories like Looney Tunes, where a fraction of the catalog is available and shorts have not been added (or even rotated) in several years. Frustratingly, the episodes of New Scooby Doo Movies that finally had their rights issues solved are now available *for free* on Tubi but have not been added to Boomerang despite it being a paid subscription. The WB/Hanna Barbera/Cartoon Network catalog is so vast that it’s starting to leave a sour taste that the subscription content has been so neglected. It’s such a good platform and it’s sad to see it be seemingly ignored.

### 1/5 — Some movies listed won’t play or download

*2023-12-11*

Just signed up for the free trial, had planned on sticking with it on the yearly renewal. Started scrolling through the holiday movies and saw some I hadn’t seen in a while (the town Santa forgot, Christmas in pac-land), click on it using the Apple TV app…nothing happens. Try it on my iPad….nothing happens. Figure try downloading it. It takes me through the steps but nothing happens. Try downloading again and now it says I’ve reached my yearly limit for this video! Now looking in the downloads section there’s a movie in there I never downloaded! I use the actual search function and the videos that won’t play don’t show in the search results….but they’re LISTED in the holiday movie section? I don’t think I’ll be keeping this account. Based on this experience of the bait and switch feeling I get from both the tvOS and iOS apps I’d give them 1 or fewer stars.

### 1/5 — NOT FOR CHROMECAST!!!!

*2023-11-01*

If your like me and came here to watch Scooby-Doo on your Google ChromeCast connected TV, you’ll know how frustrating this app is. I tried downloading the Boomerang app directly on my ChromeCast, but when I play movies it only shows a black screen while the audio is playing. Users all over Reddit are reporting the same issue. So, I figured if I just download the app on my phone and casted it to my TV, all my problems would be solved! WRONG! The Boomerang app doesn’t even allow you to cast to your ChromeCast!! I know my ChromeCast works because I can cast any of my other apps to it and I know that it allows it to cast to other devices because my neighbors Apple TV is on there as an option to cast. To put it shortly, if you own a ChromeCast, don’t even bother with Boomerang. It’s a waste of your time, and thankfully if you get the free trial, it won’t have to be a waste of your money!

### 4/5 — Brings back memories, but still has room to improve

*2023-06-18*

Like the selection of the Looney Toons and other classics, but I still miss the ones with Yosemite Sam, Speedy Gonzales, and Peppie La Pew (if I spelled that right). I’m still under the one week free trial, but I’m enjoying what it has to offer so far. Hopefully when I begin the yearly subscription (which the price is reasonable), I hope to see some more selections in the future. My top picks are: Super Friends, Swat Katz, Transformers (the classic cartoons), the 1940s Superman cartoons, Silverhawks, He-Man, BraveStarr, The Centurions, Thundercats, and many more that I wish to see. These classics were the only reason that I got up early on Saturdays when I was a kid. If it’s possible, the developers have my thanks.

As for the app, the set up is simple an easy to use. My only complaint is that screen (at least for my iPhone 12) won’t rotate. It’s on a set screen position that I have to unclip my belt clip which also acts like a stand and have to rotate the entire iPhone into position. If there is an update to fix this problem, I’ll keep an eye out for it. 

Once again, thank you for bringing back my childhood memories. Children these days will never understand the Golden Age of Cartoons.

### 1/5 — Previous Subscriber Resubscribing But Can’t Watch Anything

*2023-01-29, version 2.14*

I’ve subscribed to Boomerang in the past, and I loved it for being able to watch my old favorite cartoons. I redownload the app today after resubscribing and it crashed every time I opened it. I deleted the app altogether, restarted my phone, and reinstalled the app. Now I am able to log in and select content, but I get a failed message after clicking any video. I’m on an iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 16.3. Not what I would expect from a company who just charged my card $45. I expect an expedient resolution, but I am discouraged looking at previous reviews having the same issues going back a couple months.

Fix your app so I can give you the 5 stars you deserve!

### 2/5 — This app is a hot mess

*2022-07-04, version 2.13.1*

The user interface is likely designed for children so there is very little to it. That’s fine, but the fact that nothing works as expected is not. 

You can watch one episode of a show and the app will show that you’ve watched an entire season. 

You can watch Popeye and the auto play will give you whatever it feels like next… Huckleberry Hound, Tom and Jerry, Atom Ant?? These are what played after each episode for me. 

The random auto play wouldn’t be as bad of it didn’t progress the next episode of the ACTUAL show you were trying to watch in the first place. So in my example, if I close Atom Ant after 4 minutes, it now shows that I have watched 4 minutes of the next Popeye episode?!

If this truly is a children's app (again based on the absolute bare bones interface and lack of any features whatsoever), how frustrating and confusing it must be for them to use Boomerang. 

The content is great. All of the ol Hanna-Barbera, Popeye, Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry… it’s a a solid selection for $5/mo or $50/yr, but the app itself is unbearable. It honestly feels like you’re watching pirated content on some janky website. 

If this improves, maybe I’ll give it another chance. For now, half the content is on HBO Max, and there are plenty of other streaming providers that have functional interfaces with way more features.

### 5/5 — Won’t stop charging me (updated)

*2022-06-28, version 2.13.1*

Update: Customer service was amazing and fast. Wasn’t an issue on Boomerang’s end. Had to contact Apple for support.  Rating changed to reflect that. 

This was bought for my son to watch and we canceled the subscription when he no longer wanted to use it but it keeps trying to charge my card. I had to remove all payment methods off my phone and it continues to try and charge me. It’s canceled it shouldn’t be charging me anymore.

### 4/5 — Great selection, with one issue

*2022-02-20, version 2.13.1*

This app has almost everything boomerang, and that’s great! One issue so far is that the screen will not "flip" meaning if you are used to holding your phone one way it makes you hold it "upside-down" Another thing I noticed is the selection, it has a certain show (which I downloaded the app for in the first place) but not the movie, I guess I’m lucky the show is on here at all because technically they are Cartoon Network productions but I feel slightly missed out, overall my suggestion is maybe make add a request feature? So if something isn’t here that you would like to be here you can request it :)

### 2/5 — Love the app I’ve had it for a year

*2022-01-09, version 2.13*

I love the app and I’ve had it for a year but as bad as I want to give it a 5 star I can’t cause where is  these show I’m bout to list.  pink panther ,the snorks ,dexters Laboratory, chowder,Hong Kong phooey, the power puff girls ,the old school teen titans, Johnny bravo ,Ed Ed and eddy, samurai jack, fosters home of imaginary friends, cow and chicken, Ben 10, Ben 10 Omniverse, swat cats aaanndd the list could go on my point is if your going to make a boomerang app don’t let other companies contract the shows those are what made my childhood it’s a boomerang app that’s supposed to show old school shows so make it that way bring the good cartoons from then to the app and I’ve been on there a year nearly 2 and they haven’t brought much over to boomerang and 2 years is a long time to do something or add some more old school shows all and all I love boomerang but they got to do better with this app

### 2/5 — You better quit screwing around and hop to it.

*2021-12-10, version 2.12*

I grew up with boomerang as a kid in the early to mid 2000’s and loved watching it. Even though Cartoon Network was still evolving with more shows that came out like Ed, Edd N Eddy, Foster’s Home and Codename: KND just to name a few. I found it awesome that there was an app for it but quickly realized it’s missing A LOT of shows. You guys better quit screwing around and hop to it. Foster’s was one of my many favorites and it’s not even on here!!!! If you want more subscribers and good reviews, make a better app, put all of the so-called “5000” shows you have on here and even if you up the charge for them, I’ll buy a year subscription. Because I miss watching these classic shows and want to do so. It would be an even bigger bonus if we can somehow select Cartoon Network bumpers from whatever year. My personal favorites were the Cartoon Network City bumpers. But you guys got to bring back ALL OF THOSE SHOWS. Wouldn’t hurt to have the Miguzi shows like teen titans or TMNT. If you can work on the shows at the very least I will be a returning subscriber. Please upgrade and revamp your app! I would love to return to it!!!
