I like this app a lot I think it’s straight to the point and I’m finding myself less distracted, only issue is there’s a constant error code , 152-4 that’s making it impossible to watch anything else but what I’ve already previously watched in my personal history.

Do NOT put in your credit card info or else they will keep billing you indefinitely even after you’ve cancelled. And even after emailing MULTIPLE times, you will still have to dispute the transaction with your bank and block their merchant account from billing you. Source: me
