User Reviews

User reviews are largely negative; main pain points are constant buffering, intrusive ads, and cast/TV integration failures. Many report crashes after updates and bricked apps, slow loading, and audio dropouts especially after calls. Some praise is reserved for a version 3.2 with 'great features' suggesting the app can work well, but stability issues persist across most devices and updates. Overall, reliability and usability are major concerns; improvements in performance, ad control, and casting are repeatedly requested.
Pros
  • Latest version 3.2 works fine for some users and includes some great features.
  • Some reviewers note the app has solid features when functioning properly.
  • A minority of reviews report positive experiences with the app's functionality.
Cons
  • Constant buffering and slow loading across many reviews.
  • Excessive ads that disrupt playback and cannot be removed.
  • Casting to TV frequently fails, even for premium users.
  • Frequent crashes/bricking after updates, making the app unusable.
  • Audio dropouts or no audio after interruptions (e.g., phone calls).

Absolutely terrible for watching anything. Constantly freezes, and if I have to start over - I canNOT use the time toggle bar to move through what I'm watching. If i back out and come back, I have to try and fast forward, every 10 seconds to find the place I left off bc it starts the episode from the start again. If you get a call, good luck getting your audio back. Just did it again and I can't go back to where I left off. HORRIBLE APP. Now they want to try to upsell you to experience basic functions.

This app is slow, poorly optimized and doesn’t work. It’s pure garbage. Don’t waste your money on this scam. There’s a reason they don’t offer a free trial because you would get to see just how bad this app is. Instead, you’re forced to pay to use it. Apple really needs a refund option like google play has.
