They allowed casting so I'm raising to 4 stars. App has seen some welcome improvements over the last few months and works fairly well overall.

Now I just want my money back. I paid a full year of Insider, but cannot access it in the app. I've tried to get it resolved via emails but to no avail. Waiting months for them to get this issued resolved I finally lowered my rating, not on account of TOH, but for the low standards for their app to work properly. If you are considering starting the Insider program, I suggest waiting until you see members posting positive reviews. *UPDATE: They no longer respond to emails. Very disappointing!
