App functionality is poor. Streaming speed is slow and leads to poor viewing quality. Downloading can help, but it will not download in the background. When you lock the screen it will automatically pause. If you click the power button to glance at the screen to take a quick look and then lock it again, it will pause. The library is ok. You are basically paying $5 a month so someone can put together a library of YouTube educational shows for you made by smart people. You could just do YouTube.

Honestly I don't ever pay that much for any app and after year if having it I have only been able watch it a few times as the app always crashes it don't play. I'd ask for refund if possible as you can see on my history I have tried using app and didn't get to use it bc errors always happened. I'd only pay for this again if I was guaranteed I could watch it often. The programs seemed super cool to watch but I couldn't....

Good app, but when I want to come back later and watch a program again, it is a struggle to do so. The option of 'resume program' appears but having finished the program once, the minute counter is at the end of the film. I have to hurry to hold the time indicator & slide it back to the beginning of the program before a new show is automatically selected. It happens in a matter of seconds. Perhaps, like the Britbox app, you could have a prompt for resume program or start at the beginning.
