## Review summary

Users praise responsive support and overall quality, but report persistent issues mainly around ads and playback. Many reviews complain about intrusive, non-skippable ads and ad-heavy flows that disrupt viewing. Playback failures (black screens, can’t view, lag) occur frequently, along with usability friction (too many clicks, accidental exits, manual episode changes). Some note performance worsened after updates and removal of features like WiFi transfer or auto-play. Overall sentiment is mixed, with negatives outweighing positives.

### Pros

- Responsive and reliable customer support that fixes issues quickly.

### Cons

- Excessive and intrusive ads, including non-skippable ads and ad-heavy flows that disrupt viewing.
- Frequent playback problems such as video not playable, black screen, or inability to view.
- Poor usability/UX: not user-friendly, too many clicks, accidental exits, and manual steps like selecting next episode.
- Update/feature changes that degrade UX, such as loading lag after updates and removal of useful features (e.g., WiFi transfer, auto-play).
