Review summary

Users appreciate the free access and reality-TV focus, with some praise for initial credits. However, the app suffers from reliability and ecosystem issues: frequent playback problems, persistent provider‑link prompts, casting failures, paywalls, and disruptive ads. Overall, reliability and easy device/provider integration are the main pain points despite the free content appeal.
Pros
  • Free content with no mandatory subscription
  • Reality TV-focused catalog that many fans enjoy
  • Initial credits system allows free viewing without paying up front
Cons
  • Frequent playback errors and buffering during videos (playback failed, crashes, stalls)
  • Persistent TV provider linking/unlinking prompts after each episode
  • Casting/AirPlay to TVs (Apple TV/Google TV) frequently fails
  • Paywall or subscription gating blocks access to content
  • Ads are intrusive and disrupt viewing during episodes

2024-09-03 K^***** The app keeps making me unlink/link my TV provider after every episode I watch! I even created an E account and it’s still doing it. Very annoying and inconvenient, but I do like the fact that the app/content is free and has very few ads. Just wish this issue would get fixed so I can continue watching with no problems!

2023-11-17 PA***** Tried watching a show and casting to my tv but kept giving me playback failures. It ate up all my credits. Why won’t the app cast to google tv or Apple TV? Piece of garbage.
