I can’t wait until the few CBS shows I watch (e.g. The Good Wife) end, so I can stop using this app. It’s that bad, even relative to other less-than-impressive options on the still-developing Apple TV platform:
Just a sample of the problems:
- Slow to add new episodes
- Even after paying, you watch a lot of commercials
- Occasionally freezes, even with good bandwidth
- Freezes whenever playing live streams at midnight every night, forcing quit/restart of the stream.
- Poor ability to scrub through shows with the remote.
- Sometimes jerky video (when other services work fine)
- Periodically hassles you to sign in again even though you have never signed out: everything continues to work if you ignore it, so I’m not sure what the point is.
- If you leave the app while watching a live stream, it will sometimes not let you do anything in the app when you return to it, so you have to force quit it and restart.
Bottom line: lazily coded and poorly maintained garbage, through and through.
