### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-10-15*

Great app I absolutely love it. I’m able to watch all of my daughters overseas games and it’s great. It keeps me in touch with her and able to keep up with her gameplay.

### 2/5 — Ääni ei toimi

*2022-04-02*

Ihan kiva muuten mutta ääni toimii vain ja ainoastaan jos katson iPhonen kautta - jos valitsen televisioni niin ääni häviää heti. Jos katson netflixiä television kautta niin ääni toimii. Missään ei ole linkkiä minne voi ilmoittaa vioista.

### 5/5 — Pätkii

*2020-04-01*

Ruutu on tosi mahtava! Isona miinuksena on we että ohielmat pätkii ja jää nuku in tosi usein ...

### 3/5 — Jamming on ipad

*2018-04-19*

It should be just a simple streaming app but it has halted every single time I have used it. It stops the video and jams internet connection totally. Only after ipad reboot I can continue watching.
