Buggy, laggy and frustrating application. It will sometimes just stop playing videos, even though ads still play fine. It's also laggy, so it's easy to click on stuff when you've already clicked. If you accidentally leave the app (cause of the bad UI, the lag) or you have to quit it to try fix the no-play-main-video issue, you're back to watching potentially 5 to minutes of ads to get back to the same place you were at before. Immensely frustrating application. avoid unless no other option.

Very frustrating app. Crashes like clockwork, have to rewatch long ads every time this happens. Does not save your place in a show if you want to finish it another time (or it crashes). Also, in a list of episodes of a particular season, doesn't give any indication of which ones you've already seen. Wouldnt be such a problem if you didnt have to watch really long ads in order to find out you've already watched the episode!

Running the latest version, but very hard to review an app that doesn't run. Crashes once you go to select any options on the "splash screen". Thought it was just me but looking at other reviews, it has serious development issues. Following a reply from the developers, tried it on my phone. Doesn't crash, but doesn't play anything either, looks as if it is going to, then just stops.
