## Review summary

Users repeatedly report a buggy streaming experience on Apple devices, with playback failures, lagging video, and audio/video issues. A dominant gripe is that the app won’t remember your place, can’t resume across devices, and doesn’t track watched episodes. Billing and cancellation problems (charges after attempting to cancel, slow or unhelpful support) compound frustration. Casting to TV is unreliable, and some devices experience startup delays. Despite a library of content, reliability and usability issues heavily undermine the service.

### Cons

- Frequent playback issues (buggy playback, lag, buffering, video not playing) on Apple devices.
- Poor resume and progress tracking: the app does not remember where you left off, cannot resume, and lacks cross-device syncing.
- Cancellation and billing problems: difficulty cancelling, ongoing charges, refunds delays, and weak customer support.
- Casting to TV is unreliable: cast to TV often fails or is slow; streaming/navigation on TV is problematic.
- General customer support concerns: hard to reach, slow responses, and lack of phone/chat options.
