User reviews
We primarily use this in the car on a tablet without Internet, so rely on the download feature. The latest update to the new UI has completely broken the ability to play downloaded shows unless you happen to start it on Wi-Fi before you leave so that it can play an ad or two before starting the show. This is very frustrating and it only works for the one episode you started playing. If you're out somewhere without wifi you and need to start the shoe back up good luck getting that to work

This app was excellent before the recent overhaul. The UI is not easy to navigate. Show titles are not in the same frame as the image tile for the shows. The menu is not easy to access on a mobile device, requiring more navigation and clicks. Downloaded shows don't play when offline. There are other issues, but these are the main ones. It's time for a rollback. The previous app had solid design and functioned properly. As a previous rater stated, newer is not better in this case.

All new means worse. Can not stop video from auto playing, when pausing the video that auto played it restarts in the background when a different video is selected and both audio tracks play at the same time. Very annoying and unable to watch. Older version worked great and had no problems. Yet another example of a newer version of something that didn't need fixing being made worse.
