Good content but frustrating at times. As a lorry driver I like to put on a podcast and then leave my phone in a safe place. Often the connection drops then when it comes back on it restarts the podcast from the beginning so I end up just turning it off as I can't touch my phone whilst driving. I wish it would replay from where I was up to. Content is great but the app just frustrates me on long drives.

Good content, I'm very much enjoying it. That said, downloading things to watch later offline has been a big issue. For some reason it takes forever to download a video (tested ca. 500mb compared to other platforms). Additionally, I've had 4 videos downloaded then refuse to play when I've tried to do so when away from any connection, which seems to defeat the point a little. Without these issues, it'd be 5 stars from me.

I so want to love this app! Concept & lots of content is great but not well organised into series & playlists to make streaming enjoyable. I often feel frustrated finding something to watch. On search you can't filter on videos/podcasts or order by date. As 'netflix for history' I'd like more videos organised into collections or playlists. Podcasts: the ability to autoplay by date released & skip or mark played w/o appearing in resume playing. Hope things improve with time, lots of potential! ❤
