Wake up and fix it 🤷🏽‍♂️

Loss of functionality

Media libraries stopped working in the the app after the latest update to the main app that runs on your pc. Auto play also stopped working.

Please update!!!

Great when it works. Please send an update through. Consistently crashes for no reason.

Why so much storage space??

While I love the app and capabilities why is it taking up 13gb on my phone???? I will just stream from the computer if that is the case.

Great free product

Love the app. Works great most of the time. Biggest issue I note is that after using it to for a week or so the app size becomes huge. Almost as if it is storing the streamed media on the phone (it’s over 2-3 gigs) and when I delete and reinstall and shrinks back down to a normal size for awhile. Not sure how to fix that because it is slightly frustrating. Otherwise it works great. Videos stream well. Keep up the good work!
