## Review summary

Overall, users praise the app for high-quality, inspiring films and convenient at-home viewing, with the virtual festival positively received.

- High-quality, inspirational, adventurous film content that fans enjoy.
- Convenience and flexibility to watch over time and on-demand.
- Positive reception of the virtual festival as a strong substitute for in-person events.
- The app is generally easy to use and makes watching films accessible on devices like iPad.

### Cons

- Purchased content sometimes cannot be viewed or played (in-app or on the website).
- TV casting/streaming issues and limited cross-platform support (no Roku app; Chromecast/Apple TV quirks).
- Not very user-friendly navigation/search experience.
