Probably the most dysfunctional app on my phone. Randomly started the previous episode halfway through the adverts of the subsequent episode, then proceeded to restart all the ads again when I went back to click resume. Inability to resume your episode from the right point, seems to start again (with more ads) then will make you watch every advert again. Genuinely painful to use. Avoid at all costs

This app is the worst, it's forever crashing or freezing, so you end up watching twice as many adverts than usual
★☆☆☆☆cat lindop· Jul 1, 2026
19 adverts in a program that's on for 22 minutes is beyond ridiculous, edit unless you come out and go back in start from last place means yep watch them ads all over again !!! It's now over 30 ads in the same program!
