User reviews

Advert streaming service

If you like adverts then this is the app for you. Annoyingly there will be some short snippets of programming thrown in now and again but thankfully these only last for a few minutes before you get back to enjoying the adverts 😁👍🏻

Picture in Picture

Why does this app not have Picture in Picture???

Chromecast Please

Why no Chromecast? Seriously limits using the app for catch up viewing.

One of the worst apps

Starts playing in the background of other apps, never works properly on iPad, randomly cuts out and jumps to other apps, terrible

Buggy and drops out

Just really buggy. Often takes ages to initially load. Then when it drops out and you continue you then have to go through a barrage of ads again.
