Wonโ€™t open

Absolutely nothing will load

Nothing loads. Over the years, I've had some of the same issues that other users have had, but now it is at its worst. The app keeps crashing as it tries to load content. Based on the overall ratings for the app, I'm surprised it is still available. It's almost as if no one is taking care of the app anymore and Apple has just forgotten to remove it from the App Store.

will not open

Downloaded to iPhone 16 on 8/26/2025 and I couldnโ€™t get the app to open. Just a spinning wheel and then my Home Screen.

The best OTR app but needs Updated

Please update this app. This app has the best shows on here but it definitely needs to be updated so it can work properly. I paid for this app when it first came out and have owned it, since 2013.
