I've used this app in the past and loved it. Now I'm using it again after trying several other apps similar to this one, but NONE of them were any good or they didn't work for my tv. This app has been a lifesaver for a couple years now and if I could rate it beyond 5 stars, I'd feel 8 would be just for this app!! ♡♡

Could not get past stage one. Screen comes up asking me to select my device type. I tap television and it says spelling wrong. You could at least program in feedback messages that make some sense. Total rubbish. Rate it zero.

Ads. Slow to do anything. More ads. Still slow. Then more ads

Horrible app for ads trap. DO NOT DOWNLOAD...CLICK BAIT APP!!! APP cycles thru intro to keep playing ads, Do NOT dowload!!

Unfortunately all this app does now is loop at the initial start up where it asks you to choose a device type with a toast that says spelling was wrong and to try again. Nope, you try again, mate. Then I'll change my rating.

It's not the best but it works all right if you turn off the Wi-Fi before you start it. If it still tries to load an ad at the app start then just press the back button and it should be okay.
