User Reviews

Review 1

Overall, the user says they like the app and that issues they previously noticed were either recently fixed or documented in a clearer, easier-to-use way. Their biggest complaint is managing what they’re currently watching: the episode list shows no check marks or progress bars, and the viewing history is limited and resets frequently. They also report that when binge-watching one series, the app can remove other shows from the list after a short time. Another frustration mentioned is that if they can’t watch for a few days, the watched list may disappear completely, making it hard to remember where they left off—especially if they can’t access the site again until later on a desktop. Aside from that, they feel the app works reliably on their phone.

Review 2

The reviewer wanted to switch from a paid monthly plan to a yearly subscription, but says they felt unsure after the attempt. They describe being told to “BUY” after choosing a show, and then seeing that it indicates they are already a monthly subscriber. They report that the app wouldn’t even allow the yearly purchase. They tried restoring the purchase and clearing the cache, then submitted a help request and planned to delete the app next. They also gave a 1-star rating, mentioning that last week’s #runningman episode appeared less than a day after broadcast, and they hope to update their review if things are resolved.

Review 3

The user says they love the app. They mention that ads can be a bit annoying, but they feel they’re easy to get past. They also note they are 15 years old and stop their review mid-thought.
