App not bad, but unattended service/collection is frustrating
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.

Some movies listed won’t play or download
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.

NOT FOR CHROMECAST!!!!
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!

Brings back memories, but still has room to improve
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.

Previous Subscriber Resubscribing But Can’t Watch Anything
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!
