You've gotta expect this "free! Free! FREE!!!" app would expect us to sit through a few ads, but they are way too many WAY too often, plus everything seems to be locked down. The only things that are free! Free! FREE!!! are short clips for shows you can't watch without paying for the premium package. I quickly deleted the app but I just know they're now gonna bombard me with emails that are also misleading (i.e. lying) so I'll have to block that, too. Why did I even think it would be different?

TOO MANY ADS!! In one 40 minute episode, I encountered 3 SETS of 6-7 ads!! And they don't even show you how long an ad is like it does on Youtube. Also after the ads, the sound and video do not sync anymore so I have to always do a playback right after. Honestly had no choice but to download this app because I had nowhere else to watch the last season of a series I was so into.

This is a shockingly clunky app, especially from an established company like NBC. It's prone to freezing and crashing, but wait till you hear what else is going on with this catastrophe of epic proportions, because that's not even the craziest part! When commercials come up, the screen goes ultra dim and the huge pause button pops into the center of the frame, staying this way for the duration. What this means is that while you still have to sit through the commercials, you basically don't get to see what's going on. It makes commercials worse, which is special I guess, but hey-- not all special things are good things. The worst part, though, is that the app basically has no memory. This is excruciating. Hitting the back button even once, or switching back and forth between apps, generally brings you all the way home, usually simply finishing an episode through the end credits does this, too. What this amounts to is the following absolute insanity: in order to watch the next episode in a series, you need to open the menu, find the search icon, wait for search to load, type in the name of your show, wait for the search to process, scroll through and select the correct show from the list, wait for that to load, choose the correct season, and finally scroll horizontally in portrait mode two episodes at a time (because the app only rotates once you're watching) to the episode you want, click it, sit through a dark commercial or two, hope the app doesn't lock up, and finally you're watching! You must do this nearly every time, after every episode. Yet it remembers that on the first day I ever used it, I only watched half of an episode of House, and asks me every time the home screen comes up if I want to finish watching that. This is the one thing it reliably remembers. It's wild. If this wasn't the literal only way to stream certain programs, you better believe I'd use something else (and I do in every single case where another streaming service has the show I want. They are all superior to this thing).
