Incredibly buggy.

Chromecast function works for about a minute then gets stuck in a constant one-second loop. App also gets stuck when viewing content just on the phone.

I feel like CR has the money to make a better app.

Longtime fan, but cannot stand the app

It gives me so many headaches. The latest issue is now suddenly the screencast functionality has stopped working so I cannot watch anything from the app on my TV anymore.

Content is awesome, app less so

Love the content, but this app is frustrating, along with it not keeping me logged in, it doesn’t integrate with auto populating usernames and passwords, and I currently can’t even log in, it stalls out after entering my credentials.

Content Value is High, Please Stop Logging Me Out Mid-Show

Love CR and the shows they produce, but the app is a bit of a nightmare. Constantly logs me out mid-stream and sometimes blocks me from logging back in. It also crashes quite a bit.

Love the Content, Fix This Bug

I’ve been a fan of Critical Role Since Campaign 1 and have fully watched every mainline episode of each campaign. I will consume any content they put out, but if I have to login 1 more time, I might explode.
