New galaxy ultra. 500mbs down and 15 up. This app is now useless. I am unable to watch videos at 720p! All videos start at 360 or less. Just a blur on the screen. There is no way to fix this.... honestly it's been happening for over 4 months now. I'm so done with it. When I up the video quality to 720p (which is barely acceptable) I get a circle loading on the video for a minute ir two every minute or less of video. I have seen others with this issue. What is going on?

Lots of great upsides to this app. Works great and is straight forward. However it's hard to enjoy those upsides with the constant and lengthy ads. Most people dont want to pay a subscription fee only to get rid of ads, especially when the other benefits of the subscription are hardly ever used if at all. Would give at least a 4 star if it wasn't for the ads.

I'm a premium user for the past year or so.. At first, I love the no ads feature and up until about a week or so I would be able to lock my screen and still be able to hear the audio. That feature was amazing because it saves battery life and because I'm able to use an earbud at work it was very beneficial for me. Now when I lockscreen it stops playing, what's the point of paying $12.99 for this app when you take away the essential and beneficial perks of it all. Horrible!
