Recent reviews

— Won't play in background. — Navigation - Doesn't maintain context. If 'watching live' and accidentally touch screen of other clip, when you tap 'back,' returns you to main page - not 'watch live.' — ORGANIZATION - bad — ADS - I'm NOT going to watch THAT MANY COMMERCIALS in a recorded, streaming show. — Streaming (not live) show is labeled 'LIVE' and does not provide slider bar times/controls. — COMMERCIALS OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD.
