★★★★★
Great app. Awesome overall. Nice design. I love TV.
★★★★★
This is not a bad app it worked fine for me. ... You can find a show or movie click it and it tells you what streaming app it's on and it opens the app and plays it. Its a niche these other folks aren't getting. try it. It does what it's supposed to as far as i can tell.

Great App Finally got it
★★☆☆☆
Wants a lot of access to your info for no return. Installed on my phone as it popped up when updating my Sony TV as there was no app on The TV app store to install (seemed odd tbh). My tv did give a code of 4 letters. The app says connected but not to my tv. The app has no streams I could find. Delete quick time!!!
★★☆☆☆
Used code from my toshiba vestel TV and says connected but nothing happens. The app asked me to select from a few movies at the start then shows me a list of old movies and not one has an available stream. Is there any point at all to this app as seems it can't do anything more than create an account and collect people's email addresses and possibly gain information from any tvs that get connected. Kind of seems like its just an information gathering tool more than anything else.
★★☆☆☆
Always says user not verified. And never sent verfication code. Useless app.
★★☆☆☆
This app won't connect to my Element smart TV and it doesn't have a TV code to connect.
