I dont see the point of this app. After connecting to my tv it basically just shows some random crapy suggestions and to top it off all of them say "No stream available" even for the most popular tv shows and movies. The app asks me to select 3 tv shows/movies at the start (out of a fixed list of 10) and shows me random recommendations. I did not like any of the 10 in the pre chosen list. The app is completely pointless and probably sole purpose is to collect user data without any returns.
Can't actually sign up. Trying to sign up for an account with Google. Just getting an error that says can't sign up. No way to look for help or why? Very frustrating
Why won't this let me use my Google email to create a new account? I was able to sign up on the website but not on the app. It says my email is invalid.
Used code from my toshiba vestel TV and says connected but nothing happens. The app asked me to select from a few movies at the start then shows me a list of old movies and not one has an available stream. Is there any point at all to this app as seems it can't do anything more than create an account and collect people's email addresses and possibly gain information from any tvs that get connected. Kind of seems like its just an information gathering tool more than anything else.
This app is useless when compared to something as basic as a Google search. You're forced to select from a list of shows to suggest other shows for you. You cannot specify anything custom whatsoever, limiting the overall scope of this app to baffling levels. This app is a joke, frankly, and I'm very surprised it's even supported by my tv.
Wants a lot of access to your info for no return. Installed on my phone as it popped up when updating my Sony TV as there was no app on The TV app store to install (seemed odd tbh). My tv did give a code of 4 letters. The app says connected but not to my tv. The app has no streams I could find. Delete quick time!!!
Useless app. As soon as you try to pair your tv it closes the app and logs you out
Dreadful app. Does nothing but present a handful of (old) films, none of which have a stream available. It proved impossible to connect to my tv, even though the tv presented the service in the first place. I suspect I'll just get a load of spam now.
this app does not work unfortunately on our element tv .... no codes are given there are confusing instructions and uou have to search through settings in order to get to them... needs a serious redesign and overall needs restructuring...sorry for the low rating it has potential but not like it is . update: thanks for your timely response! hope to see this app Excell.
Not sure what the point is? It connects to my tv, which does nothing, and has a list of shows and movies with "No stream found" underneath. That's literally it.
Just tried numerous days to connect and this don't even work ugh it makes me upset don't use. It not worth it
This is not a bad app it worked fine for me. ... You can find a show or movie click it and it tells you what streaming app it's on and it opens the app and plays it. Its a niche these other folks aren't getting. try it. It does what it's supposed to as far as i can tell.
Please don't bother with this it gave me a option choice to choose from 3 there was only one put in code saying connected to TV nothing happened And everything it had on it said no stream available joke And it seems every one who is real and gave feedback experience the same So concluded it must just try and collect data shame on u Would have given 0 stars if possible
Useless. Down loaded app and no streams found on every link. Deleted after 10 minutes of trying to get it to work. Zero stars.
Out of all the films only 1 has a link to watch on my TV thats even if it links up. If your going to provide a service make sure it works..
97% of the movies/shows I click either say "no streams found" or "buy"... nah I'm good Netflix or Prime Video. you can kick rocks with that BS
App is useless I regret spend my money on this element product you cannot add apps you cannot mirror your phone the only useful things are Netflix and YouTube. Got this as a black Friday deal makes sense why it was so cheap....
Ok my smart tv isn't so smart that's why it was so CHEAP NOW as for the app guess I need a I phone it says connected but you need a app to watch the app with a app well let's just de6this app to much trouble and it doesn't work like my tv had to give it a star my bad
If I could do .5 star I would because it wouldn't let me use the code for the TV. Or wifi connection
Want s me to let it the right to my email address. I don't think so. This is a hacker s app Google play store. Will know to remove it from the app store
I have no code I can't connect a thing threw any app just a horrible experience all the way around I do not recommend this at all.
This app won't connect to my Element smart TV and it doesn't have a TV code to connect.
Trying to log in for the first time and I can't even pass the log in screen. What a joke and a waste of time.
Always says user not verified. And never sent verfication code. Useless app.
Very trash app Couldnt create an account tried all three methods wishing I can give a zero and not the one star
disappointing, it recommends tv shows. what about adding channels like HULU?
No content.existing movies are very very old and limited.
It will not allow me to sign up with my email
What's the point? Useless... Shows recommendations and... Not even a clue on how to watch those recommendations
Creating an account with Google login doesn't work so you have to use email, the recommendations are dated and suck, and the app crashes immediately when you connect to your tv. At least they make it easy to delete your account.
