Seamlessly plays all giant bomb video content in your phone or tablet. Have been using it on and off for a couple years and have run it to very few bugs. What's better, as a premium member, you still access all premium content and save it for offline viewing. Great stuff!

This is a much better way to watch GB videos than wrassling with their site. I have been having some issues lately though. Video will be fine for a good portion and then the screen will freeze while the audio keeps going.

This app is great. Super simple, no fluff. Having access to premium content is amazing and Chromecast support is huge. Only complaint is that after the recent update, whenever I cast to my Chromecast, I get a weird Windows-like scrollbar at the bottom of the screen that doesn't go away.

1. When a video I've been Chromecasting has ended and I use the back arrow to choose another video, when I tap to play the new video I've chosen it reverts back to the video that just ended. I then have to go through the list to select the new video again. Annoying! 2. Sometimes the Chromecast icon just isn't there - restarting the app makes no difference. Then it just reappears one day. Weird!

The killer app for viewing Giant Bomb videos. I've spoken to the guy who made it. He's a real smart duder. I highly recommend the video buddy app to anyone who watches Giant Bomb videos. You can watch every video on the website, including premium content if ur s subscriber.
