After update it got worse, stopped working

In the past, if you swipe something, the screen will completely disappear but you can still hear the sound. After update, it just crashes when I select a channel.

Worst app I had used

It cannot work in multi-windows in Mac. It will just stop. It doesn’t remember where you stop previously. There is only the progress bar you can use. There is no button to just move forward or backward a little bit. In general, very user unfriendly and dumb. Please take a look at the other famous streaming platforms, e.g. Y* or N*. Hope they can inspire you to improve.

Works so far so good

I heard about this app on court cutters news, I first downloaded it created my account. Everything‘s good to go when I first heard about ZEAM. I had no idea that it was being rebranded when it was view it The app is working so far so good on my iPad and my Roku. I love listening to the flyover music hour. I also enjoy the podcast in different news channels. I would also love to see channels for arts and crafts and an arts and crafts podcast. And I also enjoyed stand-up comedy And I also like watching high school sports that’s actually really cool in different live events. Keep updating the app and keep adding more channels and some arts and crafts channels.

I hate this app

I’ve been trying to watch newscasts from Duluth, MN (my hometown) on-demand lately but this app won’t let me do that. It just keeps telling me to watch them live when their news and local programming is on the air.
