User Reviews

Reviews praise the app for its rich content library and generally positive experience, but consistently report significant issues: login barriers, frequent crashes, playback bugs (especially when rotating devices), weak search/discovery and filtering, autoplay problems, and geo-restrictions. Overall sentiment is mixed: strong content quality amid reliability and usability problems.

Pros

Large, high-quality content library including popular series.
Generally good app experience and valuable service.
Positive user sentiment and praise from multiple users.
Content breadth and usefulness appreciated by users.

Cons

Mandatory login to use the app.
Frequent crashes, memory leaks, and stability issues.
Playback/navigation bugs (rotation causes pauses/rewinds, no speed control, live-broadcast issues).
Poor content discovery, search, categorization, and filtering; content can disappear.
Autoplay/podcast issues and geo-restrictions limiting access.

videot ei näy Koko näytöllä vaan jää valtavat mustat reunat. Postimerkin kokoista elokuvaa ei ole kiva katsella.

Better off using a web browser or the Hermit app to make a webapp launch icon so you don't need to login or update this app. I have had to reset the app several times because it failed to run, which a webapp won't need. Casting did not work. Some content has adult scenes with no prior warning. You can't choose the display based on audience age rating.

It's quite a torso compared to what it used to be. Today, the Android automotive version is only a frontend for internet radio; the ability to search, watch or listen to anything else than live radio has been removed. Previously it was possible to watch broadcasts, news, sports etc. while parked (which was very handy!)
