“Great shows horrible streaming services — With the streaming service your recently watched episodes should come up immediately and in chronological order mine don’t. When I go to click on a show it automatically starts playing an episode I’m not able to click on a show and organically pull up the episodes I have to let an episode play then click another button to select more episodes then find the episode I was…” — ★☆☆☆☆“Pushing me back on show — The app doesn’t keep track of where you are on a show. I’ll turn off my show then the next day I’ll come back and it’ll start me watching three episodes back.” — ★★☆☆☆“Not User Friendly — Continue watching is not found easily, shows continuously start from the beginning, the app is slow on the phone and TV. Recommended shows are sometimes irrelevant.” — ★★☆☆☆
