## Review summary

Users repeatedly report heavy advertising, stability and playback issues across devices, unreliable streaming with buffering or stop-and-go playback, catalog gaps (missing seasons/episodes) and limited downloads, plus login/verification problems. These recurring problems across mobile, TV, Chromecast, and Roku lead to a very poor overall experience and perceived low value for Universal+ on Android.

### Cons

- Excessive ads that interrupt playback and often prevent resuming from the last position
- Frequent crashes and freezing across multiple devices (mobile, TV, Chromecast, Roku)
- Unreliable streaming with long load times, buffering, and videos stopping or not loading
- Content catalog gaps and limited availability (missing seasons/episodes, few downloadable options)
- Login/verification issues (impossible to login, verification screens stuck, accounts not accessible)
