User reviews

Glitchy and frequent add

Omg the ads are insane on the shows that have them. It will literally play the same ad two or three times back to back.

Bad

Sucks big time. Very klutzy to use. Not user friendly at all.

Garbage

I never write reviews but had to as this is app is horrible. It buffers and lags like a vic-20 uploading off a cassette tape. I am amazed a company can actually get away with releasing this product to the public. Deleted the app, reinstalled, still the same. Hire better programmers….or perhaps just use AI to write the app?

Ad algorithm horrendous

The ad algorithm makes it unwatchable. Pause a show, restart and you get 4 ads followed by 5 seconds of show and 2-3 more ads right afterwards. I think ads for a paying subscription is moving us backwards but this isn’t about having ads, it’s the actual algorithm that stinks. Fix it!

AVOID!! Save your money! Lagging buffering issues every time! Simply garbage!

Absolutely terrible! The connection is so poor you’ll feel like you went back to dial up.
Every other streaming app works smoothly so I know it’s not my internet connection. It keeps cutting out, playing for 5 seconds then buffers for ten seconds. It’s the same on my smart tv and on my mobile device. JUST SIMPLY DO A GOOGLE SEARCH and you’ll see many many people with the same issue! I am canceling my subscription right away!
Months on, still, every time I open this garbage app to watch something, it keeps lagging, buffering, error messages, keeps cutting off and restarts from beginning, it’s absolutely frustrating.
Pure garbage!
