Add these features: Ability to restart series from beginning and clear timestamps on the episodes so you can re-watch. Picture in picture so you can use other apps while watching. Episodes when downloaded sometimes differ in versions such as clean versions with no swearing so it just ruins some shows. Overall just clean it up and add more user friendly features rather than doing what other streaming services do and use the same cut and paste 'netflix' template with no substance. Thanks.

2024, some years since my last review and STILL the screen does not rotate. Still no option to view at a chosen bitrate (iPlayer consumes more data per minute viewed than any other streaming service) and STILL issues with broken downloads that restart from scratch rather than picking up from where they were interrupted. Like I said, it's 2024 and these basic functions should be par for the course for any streaming service, not basic functions that have yet to be fixed.

the shows are good and typically entertaining, but the apps UI leaves a lot to be desired. theres no option for autoplay when youre watching through old shows, it doesn't save it properly when youve finished an episode, so when you click back onto the show it takes you to the episode you were just on. also typically the first season of the show so you have to click through to the one youre watching. overall clunky and not very user friendly. oh well!
