Meh. Too expensive.

would be nice if they showed stuff people want to watch! about 80% of the channels are garbage and we see enough of that in Ads alone. $28.99 is too expensive for this app.

Crashing

Love the app but problems lately. If I’m watching from the mobile app it completely crashes and I have to go back and find what I was watching again. Sucks because I play a show while I listen at work and I don’t have time to keep restarting it. App is up to date.
