## Review summary

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
