I pay to only watch 1 show I shouldn’t have to see ads for shows I don’t want

I only pay to watch classic Doctor Who used to be 7$ with no ads now it’s $11 with ads either the ads go or I do I pay to watch classic Doctor Who. It’s expensive enough why should I constantly having to skip ads.

At $70 a year?

it was a good deal during the pandemic. But the price has since gone $70 a year to $125 a year. The shows are ok. For the pricing, I took my niece to My Chemical Ronace at Soldier Field in Chicago. This year, we’re going to Riot Fest. And we’re not paying obnoxious streaming charges to do it🤪

Finally PiP!!!!

Aug 11 2026 update: sound drops during PiP. Pls help!

I cannot thank the developers enough for this long awaited key improvement.

no autoplay

autoplay will not work no matter what i do. really hard to get a good binge sesh in when you have to keep manually selecting the next episode. really harshing my mellow

Adequate, just.

This review is for the app., not the content. Slow, clunky and resource hungry. Requires about 4GB of free space to download a 700MB episode. This is not an issue I have on other apps. I fly a lot, so I rely on downloads a fair bit. The end result is that I use one of the other apps instead. If I struggle to download stuff, there really is no point having it.
As an example, I just tried downloading an episode of a series I’m watching on BritBox and was denied due to lack of space (episode was about 680MB which is a bit excessive but shouldn’t have mattered). I then went to Disney and downloaded 7 episodes of a couple of shows (totalling about 2GB) and still haven’t reached my limit of free space!
Edit
I wrote the above perhaps a year ago, maybe more. Things have not improved. In actual fact they have got worse. I can no longer download any content at all (most up to date version installed). The little circle that should fill does not move at all. Even after half an hour, nothing.
This is the most horrendous streaming app. known to mankind.
Edit
After a few months of not being able to download, that side of things is now resolved.
Unfortunately the app is still garbage. Constant closing and reopening of the app is required. Then because of that, it’s forgotten where you were up to and will send you back to the start - it shouldn’t, but that’s what it does.
On top of that, it’s lost the ability to cast to my tv.
Words cannot describe how truly awful this app is.
Edit.
A few more months down the track and nothing has improved. I have to reboot my iPad just to download anything.
Still one of the clunkiest apps around.
Downloading is a mission, never remembers where you were up to.
Barely functional.
