The experience with streaming shows on the app is pretty bad. First, there is no option to be ad free. Second, there are SO MANY ads. Third, the ads often cause the show to have the audio out of sync, and the only way to fix the audio is to exit the show and resume. Then, many times, you have to watch 7 or 8 ads again. 16 ads end up being just way too many! It's just too much hassle to continue using this app!!

If it wasn't for Swamp People I would uninstall. Very glitchy. Will just pause. Ads are repetitive or dead air. Better experience if you DON'T sign in with a provider. Asks you if you want 3:00 of ads or an interactive ad. When you choose, half the time it's dead air and I have to restart. Update 2025 App just closes for no reason. You'd think that by this time it would be better.

Great channel app, but way too many ads. I gets kind of annoying having to keep tapping the screen to select between the choice of two different add settings every five minutes. 30 second interactive(which I don't suggest), and 3 minutes worth of ads. After all said and done, you still have to keep tapping your screen just to hit play. I don't mind watching a few ads like other apps have, but it gets annoying as heck to have to keep tapping your screen every five minutes just to watch a show.
