The experience with streaming shows on the app is pretty bad. First, there is no option to be ad free. Second, there are SO MANY ads. Third, the ads often cause the show to have the audio out of sync, and the only way to fix the audio is to exit the show and resume. Then, many times, you have to watch 7 or 8 ads again. 16 ads end up being just way too many! It's just too much hassle to continue using this app!!

I love that I can watch shows on here for free, but the add time is starting to get ridiculous. There were six or seven commercial breaks in a 42-minute show, and each break played the same 1 or 2 commercials back to back, over and over again. It made me want to stop using the app completely, to be honest. The EQ was way off, commercials were twice as loud as the program. Just really ruined the experience for me. I probably wouldn't consider this platform worth putting on my phone again.

I try to login with my Xfinity account but the link is broken that is used to verify accounts. Both on PC and mobile. When I first downloaded the app it worked fine. A few months later I attempted to login with zero success. I have not been able to login for close to a month now. When the app works, it's great. But when an app is broken for over a month, that's when it gets a 1 star review. On mobile, the link opens a blank white screen, on PC the site responds with, site cannot be found . . .
