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!

Terrible service, keeps freezing every 10-20 seconds and crashes within a minute or 2 of streaming. Absolutely woeful. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and even tried restarting my device. Still the issues remained. This app is not worth downloading at all. And don't think going to their website and streaming from there will work because I guarantee you it won't work there either.

2026. Getting better, more stable and new features like picture in picture. Keep at it. 2024. Still the same rubbish. Streams won't play. Google TV version doesn't have Live TV feature. 2017. Laggy, poor quality streams. I pay my TV license, fix the app RTE. 2020 still crashes regularly during programmes but weirdly not during Ads. So you get to watch loads of adverts. Terrible app
