This app is not reliable, every time I try to watch something it says" oops something went wrong you should try again, and sometimes it says no network while my network is flowless. Please try and fix this we are paying money every month for these subscriptions it is not far to us viewers. We are failing to watch a full match because of the random crash of the app.
