Terrible, it's nice to be able to watch the shows, but having to use the app is almost not worth it. Half the time it doesn't even start, then the screen will just stay blue. Also logging in took me 5 tries, as it just didn't work. The "next episode" button is not there and it is not easy to find the next episode, you have to look it all up again for every new episode you want to watch. Casting also works for 1 ep, but the app has to be restarted as it disconnects after every episode.

Can't load any video! Previously the app worked quite ok, although the chromecast integration was not working well all the time.. But since a few weeks it does not load any video anymore, except for the commercials when I am not logged in, these play instantly! I have restarted my S7 and reinstalled the app a few times, without improvement. Considering I have a paid subscription, this app behaves ridiculous and this situation is unacceptable.

I see a lot of improvements happening, and am very aware that I expect Netflix quality for a public domain budget. So I see the issues as room for improvement, and try to stay patient. Currently I am encountering a glitch, not solvable by redownloading the app (I'll report it to servicedesk), and have had episode issues before. The episode issues should be easily fixable by re-uploading, but it's been 2 months and hasn't been fixed. Would be great if watched-log connected better with my TV app.
