It hardly plays video correctly...

This is one of the worst apps. It works about 20% of the time. When it does work, its great, but there is so much frustration surrounding the stability and user experience that it makes it difficult to give it anymore than 1 star - especially when you compare it to streaming apps like Netflix, which is amazing.

One of the issues is that it takes such a long time to download the files, but that is the least of its issues. The bigger issues are that it hardly plays the videos without stuttering, jumping, corrupting the app, crashing the app, artifacts, etc. basically making the videos unwatchable.

The second thing is that for some unknown reason it breaks up the recording into two segments, but only downloads one of them.

I would say that with the new version, some of the issues are better, but not anywhere close to making it reliable. I really hope they figure out these issues and fix them.
