Don't waste your time with this app. There are so many ads, it takes forever to get through ONE episode. I wasted my time, thinking I could catch up on Alone episodes. I've never streamed anything with this many ads. I haven't timed it, but it seems like 5 min of the show, 7 min of ads. Worse than regular tv!!! Luckily I found out that I can stream Alone on Hulu. Just finished a couple episodes there, and there is like ONE short commercial every 15 min or so. Yay! Saved by Hulu!!

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!!

That app is awesome as a whole. Full episodes that my on demand doesn't carry let's me watch episodes I normally couldn't without having to pay for them. The reason I give this 3 stars is because they haven't added casting abilities while watching episodes. This means that you can only watch on your phone. (Why would you limit your potential?) Lastly are the ads. They are slow to load and often play back to back same ads. For this I felt the developers earned a 3 star rating.
