### 5/5 — Pretty solid but canceling membership is rather difficult

*2026-08-24, version 16.1.6*

The app is really well implemented and the fact that’s it’s ad free is always a plus. However, I’m having a tough time canceling the membership since I signed up using the tv as well as my phone but I used the same bank for both.

### 3/5 — The display for live tv

*2026-08-10, version 16.1.6*

The display for live streaming is showing up after I click off to clear it. Please fix this asap

### 1/5 — Not functioning properly

*2026-08-07, version 16.1.6*

Not sure whats's going on, but I am unable to watch most shows on the platform. The application is giving me a " not available in my location" error even when I try to open a video, even though I was watching those episodes just fine the other day. Something weird is going on and the app needs to be fixed.

### 4/5 — Fine but some issues:

*2026-06-28, version 16.1.5*

The app itself is serviceable. Some problems though. 1. The third party ads. RetroCrush will make you watch some of their own ads, which are kind of a treat if anything. They’ll show off some of the anime in their selection, which can make you aware of what you might want to watch next. But when those ads aren’t playing, you’ll get some from their sponsors. And I have to say, they don’t have very interesting sponsors. You’ll usually see a bunch of gory horror slop, or they’ll play the exact same ad multiple times. It just feels like you’re not getting any “normal” ads. 2. They keep asking you for cookies, even if you accept or reject them. 3. Oh, and if you make an account they’ll keep asking for your Apple password every time you open the app even though entering it or not doesn’t do anything. So just… don’t make an account unless you want to subscribe I guess. 4. The live TV schedule doesn’t update unless you restart the app, so unless you have a strong awareness of the schedule, you may end up missing something you wanted to watch. Not really app related, but I notice Retrocrush isn’t on Dish BonusView anymore too. Shame.

### 4/5 — Made by humans, not AI.

*2026-06-26, version 16.1.5*

Any chance of getting Cybersix in Canada?

### 4/5 — Fine but some issues:

*2026-06-10, version 16.1.5*

The app itself is serviceable. I will say that if I have one issue with it, it’s the third party ads. RetroCrush will make you watch some of their own ads, which are kind of a treat if anything. They’ll show off some of the anime in their selection, which can make you aware of what you might want to watch next. But when those ads aren’t playing, you’ll get some from their sponsors. And I have to say, they don’t have very interesting sponsors. You’ll usually see a bunch of gory horror slop, or they’ll play the exact same ad multiple times. It just feels like you’re not getting any “normal” ads. Oh, and if you make an account they’ll keep asking for your Apple password every time you open the app even though entering it or not doesn’t do anything. So just… don’t make an account unless you want to subscribe I guess. Not really app related, but I notice Retrocrush isn’t on Dish BonusView anymore too. Shame.

### 4/5 — Fine but keeps asking me for two things:

*2026-05-14*

The app itself is serviceable. But it keeps asking me for cookies whenever I open the app. Regardless of if I accept or reject, it keeps asking me for cookies. I figured I would just make an account to solve the problem. But then it started asking me  for my Apple password whenever I press like, any button. So then I deleted my account to have a lesser of two evils. Fix this and I won’t be so annoyed trying to use the app.

Edit: They fixed the thing with the cookies, but if you make an account they’ll keep asking for your Apple password every time you open the app even though entering it or not doesn’t do anything. So just… don’t make an account unless you want to subscribe I guess. Not really app related, but I notice Retrocrush isn’t on Dish BonusView anymore too. Shame.

### 1/5 — Can’t reset password

*2026-05-12, version 16.1.5*

Can’t even reset the password as the site it redirects you do is mark as unsafe by my browser

### 1/5 — Cannot access any content

*2026-04-26, version 16.1.5*

Can’t watch any exclusive content! I paid for the yearly subscription and it tells me something went wrong!

### 3/5 — Mediocre

*2026-04-17, version 16.1.5*

It’s ok. Everything now is subscription required.
