User reviews

Basically Unusable

When this app works it’s quite amazing and I do love its features. However recently every time there’s an ad break the audio starts doing one comercial and the video shows a different commercial. After the ad break finishes the audio completely cuts out and it’s near impossible to get it to work again. It’s very frustrating and makes the app unusable for long periods of time.
