User reviews

Huge fan still needs work

The interface is glitchy and pages just don’t load well. The player needs to have speed options. I need 1.25 speed for my brain. I love the entire rest of the app and hope the development team keeps iterating improvements.

Fantastic improvements

Looks like they’ve fixed some of my biggest frustrations so far! The point you’ve watched to in the video gets saved now, so there’s no reloading when you lose reception or swipe out. The embedded video function works really smoothly and keeps playing when you turn off your screen, which is great when I’m driving or puttering around the house. And they just enabled downloading episodes!! 🤩 much love for the continued tweaks and improvements, well done! 💕

Finally able to offline view!!!

I can finally rate this app 4 stars now that we can download videos to watch offline 🙏!! The last thing that keeps this from being 5 stars is that it loses my place in the videos sometimes, and it’s hard to find where I am in a campaign (hard to find which episodes you’ve already watched quickly when looking at campaign view).

Not as bad as they say

I’ve been using this app since the beginning, and I don’t really have the bugs that get mentioned in other apps. Offline watching has just been added as well! This app is the only way I watch CR now, and even an occasional bug is well worth it.

FINALLY CAN DOWNLOAD

After the feedback and frustrations for the past few months/years with this app, looks like it’s finally shaping up to be usable. You can FINALLY download episodes and Many of the bugs have been/are being addressed.
