Works ok. Downloading is clunky and large
This app works ok for what it is. It has the features I expect from an app like this. There is a couple of downfalls in my mind which keep it from being great.
1) the files it downloads or streams are huge. I understand they are HD but no reason for a 4.4gig file for one hour tv show. Netflix has figured out how to make things look great on iPad and even iPad hooked to tv via hdmi in file sizes much smaller! This becomes a large problem when connected to public wifi that is not fast or supper reliable hotel wifi for example.
2) if you loose connection during a download it does not start from where it left off it starts all over again. Why on earth would this be the case. You have downloaded part of something just let it finish. Once again maybe I am spoiled by how well the Netflix app works for downloading things.
3) I have found the last forward to be a little clunky and not work totally as expected. Jumps and or skips areas even when you are playing media that is downloaded.
Maybe I am not using the app for the correct use case as I normally try to use it when I am away from home at hotel or etc trying to watch "local" or recorded shows. This seamed like it would work perfect but becomes frustrating very quickly with issue 1&2 above. If issue 2 was resolved one would not be such a problem. But to come back to the hotel after working to see that your download was interrupted of a show and to have to start all over is a pain! Hopefully this will get fixed in time.
