Do not download this app. It doesn't work. You can't access anything on it. Shouldn't still be available to download imo. Apparently, when they declared bankruptcy and shut everything down, that meant that ALL of their users who "PURCHASED" movies through them also lost access. Thankfully I hadn't purchased many on this platform. But for others, this is going to represent a significant financial loss. With no way to recover. Buy physical copies.

Ads, ads, and more ads. Don't bother with streaming. They'll just play you a bunch of ads. Had it eternally buffering during a set of ads. Quit the program and come back, and then it shows me 2+ minutes of ads followed by 3 seconds of show followed by ANOTHER 2+ minutes of ads. Then I had a timer go off and misclicked on it and ended up in the clock app, which stopped streaming and meant another 2+ minutes of ads. 22 minutes of watching and over 6 minutes was ads. I'd rather pay for the show.
