It made me so thankful for piracy. What an abysmal experience. First of all, I’m on mobile and they make you use the app. There is literally no way to get around it except TOR, no using browser, even on desktop mode, as somone like me who is deaf, it means I can’t have my special accessibility extensions which sucks.
So I get to the app ready to watch my show. Bam Adds! Worse than youtube! It’s like an add every 5-10min that lasts from 5-40s. Who the hell can actually enjoy a movie or a TV show in these conditions?
I was like fine, I’ll download it to watch offline then. Nope, that’s blocked now. So I figured I’d tinker with DNS and see if I could manage to block those adds. That didn’t work.
I’m so glad piracy exists. I see streming services have gone full circle. No better than paying an absurd amount for a TV channel plastered with adds. Urgh. I’ll make sure to stay away from disney restaurants now so they can’t legally kill me since I watched an episode of futurama on their platform.
Almost certainly. I have a couple of them and they’re like, fine, but the app quality is uneven AF. They’re written by the provider and/or some random 3rd party, so some apps work well, some work poorly, and some are flaming piles of crap.
The Disney app being a flaming pile does not, however, surprise me in the least.
Interesting details. I’ve thought about Roku’s a few times and the app quality has always been the thing people seem to complain about, so I’ve just avoided them.
I mean, for a $15 thing that does 4k your options are pretty much a Roku, or whatever Amazon’s thing is called.
I’d MUCH rather have the Roku. And the Plex and Jellyfin apps work great, so what else do you need ;)
