Ads
I don't mind watching the ads because the app is free, but sometimes the ads freeze and I have to close the show and reopen it causing me to have to watch the ads again, they are also really repetitive so they aren't really working in terms of advertising

Doesn’t work with Airplay
Doesn't work with Airplay. I can screen mirror but then I'm not able to watch in full screen mode. Also the Roku app doesn't let me search for titles.

Terrible. This app buffers more than anything I've ever seen, regardless of whether it's free or not. Most of the time it's unusable.

Fake Reviews
Look at the reviews under “most favorable” if you want a laugh. All posted on the same day. Very subtle guys. Honestly I didn't think it was that bad of an app until seeing those. Why would the CW feel the need to fake good reviews if it's a good app 😂 Anyway I'm glad I can watch some older shows but the amount of ads is ridiculous. It plays the same ad four times in a row six times an episode. Woof.
