Ratings and Reviews

App is incredibly buggy

There is a fundamental lack of settings to be able to watch things the way you desire, one being there is no way to watch a video in landscape without turning off orientation lock - all other streaming apps have managed this, why doesn't this one? Also I am consistently getting a buffering error every minute while I watch a tv series, regardless of whether I'm connected to wifi or mobile data, and it doesn't look like there's a reasonable fix besides downloading episodes and sacrificing quality. Deeply disappointing and definitely needs tweaking.

My Google Play balance is blocked

I was victim of a gift card scam, which I reported to Google. They informed me the gift cards had been redeemed by the scammers, where in fact this was not true and only about half had been redeemed. I managed to redeem the other gift cards myself, in the hope of getting a refund. Google informed me that refunding was not possible. I then attempted to use the balance I had redeemed, but I was asked to verify my purchase because suspicious. I submitted all the receipts and photos of the gift cards, but my balance is still blocked because " According to our systems, the Google Play Gift Card that you have submitted has already been redeemed in an account."

This is ridiculous. Not only did they mislead me when I was informed that the cards had been redeemed, but when I actually managed to redeem some before the scammers did, I still was not allowed to use that balance for any purchase. Clearly Google knows that by blocking my balance they retain the money without giving me the possibility to spend it, so it's basically free money for them. And instead of tracking the balance I lost in the scam and refunding, they block ME for a situation where I was just the victim.

I sincerely hope someone from Google support will see this and attempt to get in touch to resolve this situation, otherwise I will have to contact the relevant authorities, as I am being denied the use of a purchase that I LEGALLY AND PERSONALLY made.

Reconsider Your Purchases

I used to love this app, but over the past several weeks it has been riddled with bugs that render it unworthy of the very purpose for which it was made.
The app suddenly quits, movies play with mismatched audio and picture, wrong runtimes, the inability to move back and forward (which causes it to jump to the end), etc.
The only certain way to watch anything is to download it or cast it (app still quits unexpectedly), otherwise you are wasting money buying/renting movies.
I've been waiting for an update for weeks but so far, nothing.
Maybe the virus situation is to blame for that, but until they do fix it, consider buying/renting your content elsewhere. I know I may have to :(
