Lots of great shows on the CW, and I really don't mind having to watch ads, but this app is just awful! It constantly freezes or gets stuck in loops and then crashes. Then, when I go back in to it, it doesn't remember what show I was watching, let alone continue at the point where I was in it when it crashed. Very frustrating. I only watch streaming TV and none of my other apps freeze or get stuck in loops like the CW app does so I really don't think it's my internet service.

Absolute worst app for streaming. Frustrating enough that I don't even care about finishing the episode.

Worse streaming app have used. Bandwidth is horrible, likely why it hangs and crashes between episodes. Then, throw a plethora of the same add every 6 to 8 minutes with 5 minutes of add. Local network television was never this bad. Hope someone else picks up the show/s or suffer through this poor excuse of an app.

Great app. The only problem is that the Chrome Cast doesn't work. Every time I try, it doesn't work. My internet and TV are fine. This is the only app that doesn't Chrome Cast.

Too many ads
I literally had to watch EIGHT ADS to start a show. I'd so much rather pay for it but unfortunately that isn't an option. Oh. Now it's mine ads. It's absolutely ridiculous at this point

It's alright. Still needs some work. Ads make no sense when they don't even show up ninety percent of the time. Why not put them all at the beginning or end of an episode so our suspension of disbelief remains intact? Is that not the point of the entire medium and overall collective of product? I don't mind commercials at all, it's just no one addresses the problem with ads or commercials being invasive. Try innovative. No app on Microsoft store. Overall streaming quality is great. Good start.

Never works
Every time I try to cast it or start watching it, the episodes never load and it freezes and lags all the time! I keep missing my shows and have to wait till they are release on another streaming app which takes months to a year! This is the worst app in history or streaming apps!
