Customer Reviews

FIX IT
There are 4 lags that make the app basically worthless and annoying. 1. Randomly when I'm watching a video the quality will go from good to completely blurry and unwatchable. Skipping to other parts of the video to try to fix it can sometimes make the quality even worse! FIX IT! 2. Even when I have 3 bars of wifi, every half a second the video decides it's a "good" idea to waste my time and have it buffer for 5 minutes. Once again, skipping to other parts of the video works for about a second and then it continues to pause every half a second. In fact, it took me about 20 minutes to watch a video 2 minutes long because of this. FIX IT! 3. Whenever I click on a video, even when I have three bars of wifi, a message with some weird looking face comes up that says tap to retry. I end up tapping like 7 times before the video finally starts loading (which takes like 5 minutes btw!) 4. When I'm reading comments on a video and I do that tap to load more comments thing all the comments and suggested videos randomly disappear! Whenever I refresh, it just stays the same! These lags make the app horrible, useless, and annoying. I would rate it zero stars if I could. For whoever is reading this review DONT DOWNLOAD THIS APP! You're better off using Safari.

PLEASE FIX BLURRED VIDEO QUALITY
I for one love this app but it's frustrating and very annoying to see video quality degrade like this does. On my iPhone 4S it can go from super clear to where it's useless to even watch a video the way it blurs out which makes NO scenes to me to degrade a video quality to where it renders it useless. I always have to go to safari watch it there instead but much rather watch from the app while it's working right and ultra clear. I've downloaded update after update hoping it's an update to the my particular problem but always for some reason gets ignored. I assume this isn't an isolated issue? Please fix with next update. I can handle a little quality degradation but not when it's so blurry it hurts my eyes to even watch a video and can't make out anything on the video which all it's good for is listening to the sound which btw also goes down in quality but anyway please fix this and I'll give it 10 stars if I had that option but 5 for sure. Thanks

Playlist pausing
I have a playlist of my favorite band's interviews. Theres about 70 videos in the playlist. (Trust me, compared to some other people, this isn't weird) At night, I turn on the playlist because I can't fall asleep to silence, and it's like watching TV to fall asleep, just with a band. So I turn on the playlist and fall asleep, then wake up in the middle of the night, and every night, the video will be paused when I didn't pause it. No one else could be doing it because my door is locked at night, and the phone is like across the bed from me, so theres no way I could have paused it in my sleep. It always pauses on like the second video. It's slightly annoying because
1. I can tell how long I slept depending on which video I'm on when I wake up, and for me at least, that's convenient
2. Waking up to my idols' voices is what makes me able to wake up a bit more in the morning because it motivates me more.
Other than that, the app works fine for me!
