## Review summary

Users praise Frndly TV for its strong classic-content catalog, reliable DVR/on-demand features, and a user-friendly interface with good value for reruns. However, recurring complaints include heavy ads, inflated or incomplete episode counts, and inconsistent content availability. Many reviews note bugs and slow performance after updates, plus recording controls that are cumbersome (deleting and not always able to fast-forward/rewind). Streaming to TVs can be unreliable, and some worry about age ratings and family suitability. Overall, content quality is solid but UX and stability need improvement.

### Cons

- Performance and stability issues after updates (loading circles, blank screens, Not Available, slow).
- Casting to TV can be unreliable; some channels scramble when casting.
