User reviews

Always crashes after 8 ads!

Constantly crashes after making you watch 8 ads so then you have to go back and press play and watch 8 ads and crashes again and again until you’ve watched like 10 mins of ads before you can watch your programme! Ridiculous!!

Useless

I can’t get this to work on either of my iPads running IOS 26. It says it’s compatible on the App Store however streaming circle goes round and round with resolution.

Struggle to watch following episodes!

Over last 4 weeks when I’ve watched an episode of a programme and waiting for the next one to start and it doesn’t then I get there’s been an error, this has happened over various different programmes, which I watched on my iPad!

It’s a free app why are people complaining

Personally I feel it is very good and not sure why people are complaining so much about something which is literally free

error VJS-2999 driving me mad

Like the title says… this error is relentless and driving me potty. Have rebooted everything, deleted, reinstalled and followed every bit of advice. I’m about to stop using this app for sake of my sanity.
