User reviews

Awful App

Pretty much unusable on apple tv. How is an app for watching shows this bad on the Apple tv?? Awful User interface. Skipbacks or skipping forward rarely work anymore. Random crashes. Just too many issues

⭐⭐ Great shows, poor search and no sharing

The search isn't good enough. On long-running shows, finding a specific episode is nearly impossible. There's also no way to share an episode or get a link to send to someone.

Please add better search (by location, people and air date) and a share button on every episode.

So many ads

Ad breaks are 5 mins long and appear every 10 mins, makes shows unwatchable

Not good

This selection of stuff to watch is good but they give you 2 minutes ad every 10 minutes. It’s ridiculous

OK, when it doesn’t freeze

Generally, there are no problems but, when I stop an episode once started, the whole app freezes.
The only solution is to unload, re-install and start again.
Usually if I stop at the first advertisement, there is no issue.
As I can’t guarantee when I’ll be called away, resuming can be annoying.
