A smoother experience for great storytelling. We’ve made performance improvements and fixed issues to make the app faster, more stable, and easier to use. Browsing and playback should feel smoother, so you can stay focused on what you’re watching.

Horrible

Got it for one film and it won’t even play it. Keeps saying there’s an error.

Solid programming, buggy app

We love the variety of stories. The app can be very buggy – we access it via Apple TV. More buggy on TV than with mobile app.

Trying to watch the dry and it will not play.

Also frustrating that you cannot have different user profiles, you cannot tell which episode episodes you have seen or not And it doesn’t tell you the date of episodes.

Not for Canada

Once again Canadians get the shaft, don’t even bother with this trash. For what they offer just go elsewhere

Very difficult to unsubscribe

It’s very hard to unsubscribe, if you are on the app it tells you to use the Web, when you go to the web it redirects you to the app …
