literally the WORST user interface EVER. you can't look through a list of episodes for one show. if you want to watch a specific episode, good luck because there's no simple way to do it. when i clicked "see more" for a show, it started playing a random episode from the show. ALSO, why do you need to put TWO 2.5 minute ads FOR YOUR OWN SHOWS between every single episode? this app is horribly designed. please hire someone who actually knows how an app should work.
Terrible app. Freezes constantly. Takes forever to log in. Won't even play on roku without glitching and freezing up. The auto play of episodes is infuriating on top of all the other problems this app has. Fire your programmers and start over or something because this is literally the worst app I've used
I think it's alright. I give it 4 stars. Sometimes it takes forever to load, and it crashes sometimes when I'm trying to watch my favorite shows. But still a fun app. But I really think it would be better it it didn't take so long to load. I'll still keep it. Thanks.
there are so many bugs that needs to be fixed, I seem to be having a lot of trouble trying to sign up on this app. The show i was trying to watch had locked episodes so i couldnt even watch all the episodes.
When the app is updated, the homescreen after the loading screen was all black except for the new for you button. You could still navigate the app, but there was some noise that's stuck on loop even when watching something. Please fix this.
Not sure what has happened with the most recent update but the app is completely unusable. It just plays the same 5 second song over and over with a black screen. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting phone, updating phone. It's the app itself
It has potential. It's alright, my biggest problem is that they don't have episodes in the correct order, the ads, and worst of all, the incorrect subtitles
The new update has bugs. Shows won't play. And when it starts there is music that's not part of the cartoon playing in the background. Please fix. Thanks.
App has a terrible layout that is very confusing and frustrating, and there are wayy too many ads. I do understand that they need the ad revenue n' such, but geez. However, it does have very good quality for the shows, and also captions, so.
The app begins auto playing videos immediately, before I have a chance to search for what I want. Once I chose the show I want, again it auto players the most recent episode instead of allowing me to choose. Then when I choose an episode it takes so long to load more than half the time I give up and close the app. I really just want to watch adventure time, this shouldn't be so difficult. The playback is iffy and sometimes ads play at the same time as the show. The closed captioning is a joke. Words are missing, spelling is awful, and it's not always in sync.
It's really great for Watching episodes of your favorite shows! But the Captions are a bit broken.. Whenever i turn them on, sometimes they make grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes. And other times it just full out glitches. Also, the Cast system takes really long to load. whenever i want to cast something, i can't tell if it's loading or not due to the time it takes for it to cast.
On the plus side, this app is the only way to keep up to date on shows without spending a ton of money. Unfortunately, the average show runs for 10 minutes, but this app crashes after 2. Including a 30 second ad for each restart, that means I have to restart the app and renavigate to the episode 5 times before I can finish it. Basically unusable.
Blech. Free option is nice to try out. But why drop me into the middle of a series? I would prefer to see the first few and pay for more than be forced to start mid-series. Also it runs an ad before anything. And if i navigate away from it for a moment, i have to watch another ad. And if i try to explore the app, i am funneled into a running episode when i don't even feel like I've picked one. It tastes bad. Not want.
Nice quality but no casting option. No obvious selection for choosing a season. It forces you to use landscape mode which is irritating. All the animations get in the way when you are simply trying to find the episode you want. And if you accidentally touch an episode you don't want, you have to find the back button in the app (because you cannot use back on your phone or tablet), and then have to scroll through every season to find the one you were initially trying to watch in the first place.
The app crashes whenever I try to log in. I see from other reviews this is a common experience, and it's been going on for a while now. The controls and the layout before this was poor as well, and that hasn't changed. The way it is currently built works for young children who will watch anything, but for anyone who wants to find something, even without the bug it's a mess.
Simple and Clearly Terrible. I don't care about the ads, I care able how difficult it is to navigate to a particular season and episode. Some of the auto player videos need to relax I'm trying to avoid spoilers as I catch up on a series. Horrible UI/UX. Honestly with billions of successful templates I can't understand the thought process here. Show navigation and episode navigation is terrible and far from intuitive. Episode playback is harder than it need to be. It shouldnt take 4 magical swiping gesture to make a video full screen or pause it. Or go back or forward an episode. UAT your app. If your gonna force people to use the mobile app instead of the desktop to watch videos make sure the thing is useable. Else stick to the desktop there is a lot of room for forgiveness.
Trying to watch the steven universe movie was the most frustrating experience I've ever had with an app. If at any point you exit the app or put the phone in sleep mode, the movie starts over and you have to guess where you were, watch over 2 minutes of ads and then find out if you guessed right, and if you didn't, you'll probably have to watch even more ads, and after that, the screen will probably be dark with the "back" button in the corner, which never goes away. Constant glitches and ads.
Way to much advertising. Like 130 seconds is way too long But everything else is fine. It would be great if they had an option to pay for no advertisements. 1.99 would be perfect because a lot of people would buy that deal. 30 seconds at the end is fine. but before the outro there is 130 seconds like that annoys me i would give a 5 star rating if the 1.99 payment was a thing
this app USED to be great. I USED to be able to cast episodes easily from my phone to my TV, but now its impossible. If my phone's screen goes to sleep, the app decides to stop playing my episode and switch to something random that I do not care about. And then if I try to go back to my episode, the app falls apart and nothing short of restarting my phone will get it to work again!!! FIX THIS.
The menu is super confusing and only has pictures. From what I can tell there is no way to look for a specific episode, and if it crashes half way through, you have to rewatch the entire episode again because you cant skip to the part you left off. Over all this is the worst set up cartoon app for anyone that can read, which is too bad because cartoon network has always had some of the best cartoons. I really hope they improve it.
This has to be the most frustrating, and least functioning, app I have ever used. I downloaded it to watch a few of my favorite shows and connect them to my chrome cast. Unfortunately, this app will drop the connection to my t.v. any time my phone screen turns off, I would also click on videos and it would flat out stream different shows. There seems to be no logical way of organizing shows, it just forces you into a seemingly nonsensical playlist hell hole.
I like the content, but boy does the interface need work. The videos play automatically as soon as you select a show, which is fine, but as soon as you select a specific episode the ad freezes on screen and stays there probably forever, or at least until you uninstall and reinstall the app. I've had the same experience on multiple wifi networks and after restarting my phone.
The UI seems like it's designed to frustrate you. It autoplays a random episode or clip as soon as the app opens. The video controls don't match norms from other video apps (i.e. pause is only in the corner, not in the middle) You have to blindly stumble around the app to find episodes you actually want to watch. The route to get there is totally unintuitive. To top it all off, no videos load. It flashes rapidly between loading and "something went wrong" screens, fast enough to strain my eyes.
Mediocre at best. The app has barely any of CN's shows, and when I clicked on them it took me to random episodes and I'm not even sure how to (if it's even possible) get to the first ones. Also, it's really weird to scroll through pictures of characters from the shows instead of the names, that's just bad design choice. I again bring up the lack of shows, I mean I get that it's a free app but with so few shows and such weird episode layout I don't think there's much to desire without an update.
So happy to have all these episodes together in one place, but good God this is one of the most terribly designed streaming apps I've ever seen. It auto plays when you don't want it to, you can't minimize the app without it completely stopping your show, its full screen only so you don't even have access to your home buttons, you can't just browse titles and episode descriptions because of the constant auto play...I can't imagine a poor child trying to figure it out lol.
"What the huh? An error! (Sorry for the trouble)" happens everytime i open a video. And a long ad to top it off before disappointment. Why is it always portrait too? It is very hard to navigate the app. And the 'new for you'? No! It is very hard to find an episode you want. This app is a frustration machine. Dont download this. It wastes space.
I had this app on an old ipod and it nenever worked, I just thought it was the device... It wasnt. I have a new phone and the app still won't play videos, it give me the same error as before: what the huh? Something went wrong (sorry for the trouble). I know it's not the device since it's new and can run any other video platform and i know it's not the wi-fi (for the same reason). The thing i think this app is useful for is as a list of recent episodes. Maybe it works fine for othwr people but it never does for me.
It's a meh app at best. The ad times were long, and it was hard to navigate. The worst problem of all was that you can't get any more "unlocked" episodes. It says if you wait a day, you will unlock more episodes, but you don't. Please fix this, I just want to watch some cartoon network and not need a TV provider.
