Good, not great...yet

This is a really good service and a decent app. I use primarily on a Roku Ultra streaming device with high speed (100 mbps) internet. Never have any issue with streaming and the channels load pretty quickly. The user interface for the channel guide is very similar to the ones you see on the cable or satellite platforms. The DVR is a little sketchy. I don’t think there is unlimited storage which is what the service advertises. Channels are still being added, hopefully they are working on adding more diverse channels and more channels that have programming for women.

Some parts of the app are not intuitive. I’ve read some reviews that say you have to watch commercials in the recordings. This is not true. They probably don’t understand that the DVR library contains a section of On-Demand versions for all the shows that are scheduled to record. They are probably watching the On-Demand instead of their actual recording. I don’t think this is the user’s fault for not understanding, but just an example of how the app is not intuitive.

Updates to the app that I would suggest:
1. The ability to store favorite channels. This would be useful because the channels don’t have numbers so it’s sometimes difficult to quickly navigate to another channel. You would have to use the search option or scroll through the channel guide.

2. The app stores a list of recently watched channels which is helpful for quick navigation but it only stores the last 4 watched channels. It would be more helpful if that amount was increased.

3. The DVR does not have a delete option. Once a show is watched it stays in your library which causes clutter. After a week it’s automatically deleted whether it’s watched or not. Should have the option to leave a recording in my DVR library until I remove it.
