I guess it could be worse

Do people who make apps ever try to use them? I have to assume they don’t.

Lousy apps are not a problem confined to this one, but if developers used the apps instead of just writing them and releasing them with their fingers crossed they might have realised that having to click three (on my phone) or four (on my TV) buttons to change channels would be stupidly inefficient. Why doesn’t the channel up/channel down button on the remote do the job on the TV? Don’t even get me started on why/how it minimises/maximises on my phone or how I have to mess around with the mute/unmute button or how there’s no way apparent to stop video play when I have it in small screen mode.

There’s so much more I could say, but it’s not my job to make this app not suck. I’d give it a 1.5 star review if I could.

Lots of issues STILL haven’t been fixed

Doesn’t rotate correctly. Inconsistently displays episodes in order or reverse order. Forgets random episodes you have watched and makes that your next one to watch. Keeps things you’ve finished in ‘currently watching’, yet drops things you’re in the middle of watching. Constantly crashes. Shuffling to try to find where you were up to means you have to endure the same ads over and over. Lots of rubbish content (guess that’s unchanged at least). And apparently “Free to air” now includes paying.

Misleading

In the App Store, so I downloaded it tried to watch something in the app and was told that only those in New Zealand can Access why is it in the App Store?
Very disappointing
