For some reason the Android version is not as robust as the iOS version. Since switching to Android I compared and realized the app was not designed properly. For example, in your movie menu when you try to click the "i" info icon to the right of the title to bring up the options menu. What happens is that it hits the scroll button and scrolls down to another title in your list. It's frustrating. Even If you get it to work, then it downloads a completely different title to your phone.

Constantly loses connection and extremely difficult to reconnect.

Worse than when it was free. Copying a movie to the device fails at the same spot every time and it loses connection to the computer... Can't seem to get around the issue. Oddly, I never had problems with this app before the dev started to ask for money. Edit: Now copying works but trying to do it onto a phone, when you try to press the (i) logo to select file options, you touch the side scrolling bar instead making it impossible to copy files. Unbelievable..
