Horrible.App is a constant rediculous struggle. It doesn’t load without multiple attempts. You can’t just choose a show and it loads. When the show finally loads, 90% of the time I have to make more than 2 attempts to get an episode to load. Then, it’s back to try, try, try to watch an episode. When I’m do…
You’re Killing MeTerrible. Poor writing, bedroom scene amidst murder interviews in heroine’s house. Ludicrous.
awfully appgreat programming, but awful app across all platforms. the only thing that is decent is if you subscribe through apple tv channels to get a so so experience. programming/ shows = A+ the app = D-
