### 1/5 — You need a lot of improvement

*2026-01-09, version 7.1.11*

So I subcribed to premium a few weeks ago and I have hardly been able to see any movie on there…firstly you can barely find movies cos they are not in good categories and almost everything you search for is not available and that’s not even the furstrating part when I now decide to watch the ones I find I keep getting logged out and I can’t log back til some days later no matter how much I try to login it keeps saying bad connections..the other day I downloaded movies and I got logged out while watching and when I logged back in all my downloads were gone and after crashing out about it I decided to download some other movies to watch and guess who got logged out again and lost all her downloads…me ..this app with the money I used to subscribe you, you shouldn’t be stressing me out or acting up like this …and prime is even much more cheaper and I could have just gone for Netflix..huffffffff!!!
