User reviews

Great selections, experience can use some enhancement

Kanopy offers great the selection, what isn’t offered in other streaming platforms. Some tweaks to the experience will make this app great.

Audience’s management of their watchlist and continue watching list can use some tweaks to make the experience more consistent. Such as not having the current episode I’m watching disappear from my watch list and “remembering” at which point in the show (movie/TV episode) I left off.

I’d also love it if we could have temporary download so I can watch when offline.

Interesting story. Reminds me of trilogy starting with ‘ The three body problem’ volume one of trilogy sci-fi story.

Map of library

Very difficult to look up library location because the "select" button does not work.

Type in the library address. The library address pops up. The select button does not work to activate this library
