Poor AppleTV implementation

I’ve been using this on my aTV for a month now and while the content and quality is generally very good I feel like the app developer should be locked in an Iron Maiden for a day to get a sense of the agony the user interface inflicts on its users.

After a month I still feel like I am fighting with the interface. It doesn’t conform to AppleTV well at all especially when trying to ten second skip or seek during playback. Exiting a video doesn’t stop playback in the background. You have to hit pause first or force quit the app.

Please note that I pretty much watch recorded or on-demand programming as the amount of commercials during live TV only make me remember why I cut the cord in the first place.

Ultimately the app has promise which is why I’m giving it three stars but if the UI doesn’t get streamlined to properly work with the AppleTV remote then I’ll probably end up canceling as my neighbors are getting sick of hearing me yell at my TV.
