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.
Great content, bad app
The app logs me out 3-4 times a day, has no mechanic to remember my email address so I have to type it manually every time, forgets my place within episodes, and eats up massive amounts of battery life. Still preferable over watching on YouTube with ads, but seriously, please fix this app!
Buggy Still
Constantly getting kicked out/logged off of the app. Many times the episodes will just stop playing and take me quitting the app to resume. And often times when I pause an episode to come back to later it picks up at a lot earlier of a spot in the episode. I do badly want to like this app but these are all major issues with being able to just simple enjoy content. And it’s unfortunate that there is still no download/offline option.

Barely runs
Lags constantly, logs me out every time I use it just the same if not more as it did months ago. Kinda crazy to have this much of this same feedback here for this long and even acknowledging it for it to just be seemingly worse than before, kinda feels like a slap in the face especially if I’m paying for it as long as I have been now, ill just go back to monday crew if it keeps up not everyone can afford to ignore and deal with this every month with their subscriptions.

Awesome content, awful app
This is my third time being prompted to login for the day… I thought you guys had fixed this?
UPDATE on my fifth login now

Videos restarting constantly
I love the content but the app gets worse with every update. I didn't have a lot of the issues other people did when it launched but now every video restarts 3 or 4 times before it finally plays through properly and trying to skip to a specific time in the video also causes restarting or it just stops working altogether. I also can't cast it to any other device, even though it's on the same WiFi network and the buttons are available. I'm still watching the main streams on YouTube instead due to these technical problems, but maybe that's the idea - get us to pay for exclusive content on the app but still get our ad revenue on other services.

Love Crit Role, struggling with this app
For starters, I love having a hub for all my favorite content. If you’re a fan, instant access, and the Cooldown are enough to make this app worth it. I also really dig the feature to choose between listening and watching, thats great. In addition, the progress bar shown on your lock screen isn’t scrubbable. You’ve got your 15 second scrub buttons, but the bar is just an indicator, which i super love. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve accidentally lost my spot over the years on that progress bar. That being said, I’ve been using the app for over a year now, and have yet to see them fix some key flaws. The biggest is it loves logging you out. It’ll log you out any opportunity it gets. If you step away from it for more than an hour, there’s a good chance it’ll log you out. If you were away for most of the day, just assume it did. The other is offline access. Truthfully, not the end of the world, but it’d be soo nice to download episodes for flights or campouts. I still have to refer to youtube to download episodes, and if it’s not the following Monday after the episode, you’re kinda stuck without the episode. Truthfully, those are my only issues with it. The logging out is genuinely glaring and annoying, the other would just make sense to help me stick to one app, which I’d love to do.

I love you, but stop logging me out
I love critical role and want to always support but every day and even during videos the app logs me out automatically, tis quite annoying
I LOVE Critical Role
As a fellow Critter it pains me to rate this so low but the app is nigh unusable. I’m a huge fan of CR and love their content which is why I’ve spent so much time on this app in the first place! But the bugs are absolutely unbearable (randomly restarting episode in the middle of watching, getting automatically logged out of the app regularly, changing my timestamp every time I change apps by swiping on iPhone, losing my place in the video sometimes when I close my phone or click a notification while watching).
Plus, the lack of a comment section makes me feel very excluded from the building of community. I know they’ve got a discord but it’s not the same.
Anyway, they’ve got a lot going on but they HAVE to give more love to this app when it’s the exclusive source of much of their extra content and the only way to watch without the INSUFFERABLE amount of ads on YouTube.
I will GLADLY adjust my review once these improvements are made.

They’ve fixed the issues from other reviews.
The reviews saying they kept losing their place had me seriously worried. I listen at work and while I could use YouTube, I want to get as much value out my Beacon sub as I can. Since I work at a mechanic shop it would be a serious pain to keep losing my spot. I am happy to report I have not had a single problem with the app outside of one losing the ability to pause or rewind the video. This was circumvented by minimizing the video/audio to the small bar and pausing/rewinding from there.

Great content, infuriating app
It’s 4am and the baby is hungry. I wake up, feed her, and watch some CR while I calm her down. It’s a nice respite in a difficult time. C4 is going great. Baby starts to stir again so I pause Pocket Beacon to get a bottle ready. Pick up the fussy baby with one and a half hands, pick up the bottle with the remaining half hand, and hit play by pressing my earbud to my shoulder. Error.
It logged me out while I paused it to get a bottle. It logged me out when I had very little physical or emotional bandwidth to log back in. It logged me out for - no exaggeration - the third time in 24 hours. And it’s been logging me out so often and for so long that I’m not surprised, I’m just disappointed and a little mad.

Continuity issues
Hi. I love your content. I’m just really frustrated with the app. It logs me out, restarts the show, or just freezes in the middle of watching. On top of the fact that it doesn’t always remember where we last left on an episode, so we have to try and fast forward. But that always causes an issue. Would love to see these fixed.

Buggy App
The content is great, but the app is very buggy.
So disconnected
Constantly logging me out, not connecting with apple’s pw manager so you have to manually type user/pass every time. Love CR but this app is awful.
Good app glaring flaw
It’s got what I want and does what I need it to, but the getting logged out just cause I moved away from it is quite annoying. Hoping that enough complaints get it fixed but other than that I’m happy
I’m sorry but this is trash
I want to support the crew but it’s honestly shocking how bad this still is. It can’t cast, it constantly loses place, won’t keep me logged in and I just struggled for 10 minutes trying to advance ahead to the place I was already at. This app is embarrassingly bad. Please do better.
