The CW for Negative User Reviews

Recent Update Ruined AppThere are several shows on The CW I like to follow (Arrow, Flash, 100). I recently learned a another CW show that I’m really enjoying, Penn & Teller’s Fool Us. It’s a great show. I found that the App has Season 2-5 available. Problem is, the new App layout starts you on the most recently aired episode and to go back to older episodes you have to scroll to the right one episode at a time until you reach the one you want. Then after watching the episode, 80% of the time it does not take you to the next episode but requires you to choose the show from the home menu and then scroll through the episodes again. The old layout made it much easier to get to older episodes. A drop down menu fit selecting episodes would be great and having a more consistent “Up Next” episode after the one you watch finishes is desperately needed. Finally the Continue menu to continue episodes had many episode listed that I’ve already completed and I can not remove episodes from the list..Version: 3.0.9

A lot of simple fix issuesI feel like the app developers never actually used this app after making it. There are a few issues that are so simple to fix it seems odd that still years later have not been addressed. For instance, when you search a show it pulls up random episodes instead of pulling up the entire shows page with all the episodes. So in order to get to the episode page you have to find the show on the main page you can’t search it. Then if your watching a show there is NO option to go to the shows episodes. So then you have to go back to the main page and find the show again! It is extremely irritating. There is no option to save your favorite shows. This app is not user friendly. They show the same commercials over and over and over instead of showing different ones. Drives you insane..Version: 4.2.2

Awesome way to watch but still things to work onI love this app I’m fact I use it almost every day to watch riverdale. I absolutely HATE all the ads. There is really no point for them. It gets kind of irritating when your just getting into it and boom there’s and ad and Ik your probably like it’s just like tv but I’m not here to watch tv if not for my friends wanting me to watch this so much I wouldn’t even be using this app and I would wait for it to come out on Netflix. Just saying if you took off all of the ads I feel like your app would get a lot more use. And then something else that makes me mad is when you get tired of watching and you leave the app and then come back later and it gives you the resume option is sometimes doesn’t go back to the right spot and then it’s super irritating because it’s super hard to get back to the right spot. That’s all folks😋.Version: 3.0.15

App gets out of sync at every commercial breakWhen casting from this app to a Google device, I’ve tried with two different models, every commercial break audio comes in early and the last minute of each scene is playing without sound while audio from a commercial plays and then the show audio comes back in during the out-of-sync commercial, and then the show starts again but a minute after the audio and it’s not rewindable because the app says it’s still an ad and it’s counting down and it says there’s 2 or 3 minutes left in what the app thinks is an ad. You have to close the video and start it over to fix it because even when you hit resume it goes back to the beginning and then fast forward to where you were because it doesn’t register where you were in the video when you were casting it and if you miss you have to watch the ads again and there’s a chance the audio from the show is going to come in early even when the commercials are in sync when you restart the video. Good content. Terrible app.Version: 3.4.2

Too many constant glitchesI enjoy being able to watch my favorite shows even without having Cable TV but it’s truly a pain when I constantly have to exit and enter the app in order for an episode to continue playing because in the transition from ads to episode it just completely freezes. Sometimes there’s discombobulated audio in the background and sometimes even when the visual seems to be working (including not in transition from as to show) the audio just cuts out randomly- with or without headphones. Whenever I stop watching something and go back to the app later, it starts me way earlier in the episode than I was and I have to watch a bunch of ads (that I already watched) in order to get to where I was. I understand that commercials are like TV- but if you’re going to have commercials like TV please have them transition smoothly into the rest of the show. Sometimes my play and skip buttons won’t work at all and I’ll have to completely exit the app and start the episode all over. This app could be great but it just malfunctions constantly..Version: 3.1.4

Can you fix the glitchThis app is amazing because it offers free streaming on most of the shows I love to watch and its free and everything which most of the streaming apps these days but the only problem which is a mayor problem for me is that it glitches a lot and also it always stops in the middle of the episode to say that “the playback has stalled out” I don't know what it means and i cant watch not even 10 seconds straight before it pauses and says the thing about the playback thingy and it really annoys me because it stops soo much and it suddenly shuts down and leaves the app. I don't know if its mu wifi witch is really slow or that i use a vpn ti watch since I live outside the states but can you please fix it. Its so cool you stream for free on the app but if the app doesn’t work on its fullest how am i supposed to watch it and enjoy the episode im watching.Version: 3.0.15

Love app but…🥰😒😕Wish they would have all seasons.. There were shows I would have really liked to watch but they only have season 2 or 4 or 3 or something Not season 1.. Why would anyone want to watch season 2 before season one especially if you’ve Never seen the show? It’s like yay finally found something and something cool Oh wait but they only have season 2 no season one… Oh well back to searching…😒😞 Also it’s so disappointing Finally finding a really cool show to watch and they actually have season one you watch it it was Awesome than finish it to find it’s yet another show to be canceled for a second season left off on a cliffhanger.. Can you plz get more shows in with All seasons ones that weren’t canceled left off on cliffhanger??? Plzzzzzzzzzzzz🥺🙏 Also there were ones that said season 1 under the pic but no way to get to it if it’s there….Version: 4.1.1

Two things I dislikeThe first thing is there are way too many ads. Ok so I get you have to have ads to have a free app, but can’t you make it so if I was at a part after an ad I don’t have to go through all the ads. I mean every 6-12 minutes there is a series of 6 ads and not even different ones. Usually they are almost exactly the same as the last series of ads I watched. It’s soooo annoying. Second thing is that they app only has the last 5 episodes of the tv series. So if I want to watch a new series that has 10 episodes I have to find the first 5 episodes on other apps or websites and it’s quite annoying. I usually end up using other apps/websites instead of this one for these reasons. I know you can’t get rid of all ads and maybe you can’t even make every episode of a show available but it would be nice to not have sooo many ads and at least AT LEAST the 10 latest episodes of a tv series. I suggest to only use this app if you have patience for ads and you are on the lasted 5 episodes of a show. So honestly only download this if you don’t have another app that has your favorite shows..Version: 3.0.15

Bugs NEED to be fixed•I downloaded the app like a few months ago and it was GREAT, now whenever you watch a tv show and adds are going on you can’t even pause the show so you can take a break, you have to sit through the adds and then pause it when the show comes back on because if you close out of the app while commercials are going on you can’t resume where you ended you would have to start the show all over again. •Another thing that is bothering me is when you close the app and the continue or restart but comes up it just takes you to the same exact place and when you just try to scroll all the way to the beginning it plays the show for 5 seconds and then says “Error: Playback has stalled out” and it kicks you out and it keeps doing it whenever I try watching a show. •If you want to watch a show without getting interrupted with stupid stuff like this I would NOT recommend this app, but I don’t know if it’s just a bug or what but it’s so annoying..Version: 3.1.0

Great content, but the app is badly designed, especially on the iPad.I love the Arrowverse shows. That’s the only reason I watch CW shows. I’m glad I was able to watch the Crisis on Infinite Earths series without having to resort to a less than reputable streaming site, but the app makes me really want to again. The iPad version of the app only allows you to browse in portrait, but goes to landscape when playing a video. It does not, however, let you switch landscape orientations. The ads are also extremely annoying. I get they need ad revenue to continue making money and the shows, but play some different ads. Don’t play the same set of 3-5 ads for the whole episode. It’s also very buggy when it comes to resuming an episode. I already watched your annoying ads. Don’t force me to watch them again to get back to the point I was at. Sometimes it will even start me back to the previous part of the video I already watched before the ads. Then I have to skip back to the point I was at only to be shown the exact same ads! People want to watch the content legally, but the lengthy repetitive ads and bugs make you want to go find it elsewhere for free with no ads. Fix your app!.Version: 3.1.17

Technically does the job, but shoddily and amateurishlyIt’s all the little things that drag this app down. There’s no way to make it full screen on the newer iPhones, the CC button seems unfunctional half the time, there isn’t a way to pick the quality of the video, you cannot see a timer to tell you how much time is left for the ads, you can only fast forward or rewind in 10 second increments, the overlay with the pause symbol is way too big, the video takes an eternity to load compared to other streaming apps (try to skip forward or backwards and have fun waiting at least those 10 seconds in real time), you cannot view all the episodes at once and pick from them, and the video will sometimes just turn to an all grey screen (fixable only by reloading the video altogether) if it is interrupted in certain ways. While it still technically lets you watch the shows (which is why I go 2 stars instead of 1), it is shoddy and amateurish in how it does that. Quality control must have been nonexistent in the process of developing this app..Version: 3.1.9

Don’t download you’ll regret itI used to watch literally almost every current show on this network. Then they canceled them all. All I have left is the last season of Nancy Drew (LOVE this show!!) and then Superman and Lois which is the only show that will continue (at least for now). I absolutely will not watch any new shows they will bring out because they’ll just cancel it anyway. NOW with my only 2 shows to watch they have added waaaaayyyyyy more commercial breaks and made them longer too. To make it even WORSE is these breaks are literally put on while a person is in mid word not when the comercial break is supposed to be. Because like I said they added more breaks so it doesn’t sync up with the break point like it should. They think it’s ok to just cut off when someone is talking and then come back mid word in a sentence. SUPER ANNOYING!!!!!!!!! If this keeps up I’m seriously thinking I’ll just delete the app and give up on even continuing Superman.Version: 4.2.2

Missing episodesI came to this app because The CW isn’t streaming the previous episodes of season 4 of Riverdale on tv, so I watched episode one of season 4 but since they don’t have a lot of the episodes I had to search the web for episode 2 and I couldn’t find it anywhere for free so now I have to wait for it to come onto Netflix and since I live in the US I probably won’t be able to watch it for a while. Also there are a ton of ads, I get that you have to have ads in order to have a free app but seriously six ads every 10-20 minutes that’s pretty unfair. I really just want to watch my favorite show but since The CW isn’t showing the previous episodes of Riverdale and it won’t come to Netflix for a while AND this app is missing episodes I only got to watch episode one of season 4 and now I get to wait for it to come onto the US Netflix. Overall I feel they should include all the episodes of the series on the app and add the next one when it comes onto The CW on tv and that they should lower the amount of ads..Version: 3.1.17

Great But to Many problemsI like watching the CW but there are way to many adds. If you click the skip button more than 3 times it fast forwards until it hits an add which is so irritating because you have to watch the adds and can’t even go back while the adds are playing. Now there are a lot of good shows on the CW but you can’t watch them all for example with The Flash and DC Legends of Tomorrow series you can only watch whatever is in that season but I don’t know if it’s just me. Also at the very beginning there is an add it would be great if you can move that into later in the video. I know since you don’t have to pay for the app you rely on adds to make money but can you make it to where you don’t watch the same exact add 14 times in less than 30 minutes please. There is also a problem with the timing of a show because it dose not account for the adds it has. Otherwise this is a great app I am not trying to downgrade your app these are just suggestions. Thank you for your time and for reading this comment if you do..Version: 3.1.21

Amazing but..I love this app. I love the schedules and things like that. But it could be better. I normally like to watch The Flash on tv in the mornings. But, it always says I have to check my connection, even after I do it’s still not work. (Basically I can watch in the mornings). Secondly when you have to stop watching an episode and continue later, it only saves the spot you were at 50% of the time. Third of all, there are WAY to many adds. I was watching with my friends and that’s their complaint. Also you sadly can’t exit the app without it not saving while playing adds. I appreciate you getting this far to my horrible review. And I’m sorry for making it all about the complaints. But other than that that’s really all I have for you. This app is AMAZING and I don’t want to make you think it’s bad. But like every app there are some bugs..Version: 3.1.4

Barely works, but at least it’s freeIt’s wild that such a large wealthy company can have such a crappy app. The constant buffering brings me back to my 2002 dial up internet days. I guess I should be grateful the app doesn't include that screeching dial up noise. Oh, speaking of noise… the commercials are significantly louder than the show, so I have to mute them if I don’t want to play the up-down game every 5 minutes. If I try to leave the volume at a happy medium so the commercials are more bearable, I can barely hear the dialogue of the actual show. But wait, there’s more! The closed captioning is out of synch, sometimes by several minutes, so it’s no help at all in trying to catch what the characters are saying while keeping the volume low enough to avoid being startled by the extremely loud commercials or even the in-show music. Did I mention that the music in the actual show is also super loud? So I’ll have it turned up high so I can hear the dialog, then it cuts to a scene in a nightclub and I have to scramble to grab the remote to turn it back down to a reasonable level, but then the next scene is dialog so I have to turn it back up again. The whole point of watching tv shows is to relax and chill, but trying to watch anything on CW is just exhausting and frustrating. Sigh. At least it’s free..Version: 4.0

Can somebody please fix the bugsI know it’s a common problem with this app for it to freeze when it goes from commercials back to the show, but I’ve been on the same episode for an hour an a half and I’m only halfway through. The commercial ends, it freezes, I exit, click play and then click continue and it starts me right back at the beginning of the same commercial section that I just watched, so now I’ve watched about 10 commercials, and then it freezes again, and I have to repeat it. I’ve tried it and watched the same exact commercial section at least 10 times now and it will not play the show. I can’t even try to drag the dot at the bottom to make it work after the ad bc as soon as I touch the screen all the controls disappear. it’s a nice idea for an app but it’s barely even functional and I’m about to throw my phone across the room. a company this big should be able to make 1 small app at least work somewhat correctly....Version: 3.1.16

I like seeing my shows whenever......BUTI do like having the opportunity to see my shows whenever and wherever I want but I wish the app would be better at keeping track of where I am in a show, for example I watched a episode of arrow and watched almost all the way through then had to do something eles so I stopped and got back to watching it a couple of hours later and the show thought I was only 6 mins in instead of 40 and I had to watch 4 commercial breaks in a row and the exact same commercials I already watched and then there was a time I did the same thing (watched a show stopped and went back to it a couple hours later) and it kept Where I was but when I got to the commercials I watched them and then I was 7 mins behind instead of right after the commercial break I just watched so I had to watch the exact same commercials again that I just watched.Version: 3.0.15

Supergirl&Legends Of TomorrowWell it was going well until they changed the time slots. I don’t know what they are thinking... Why would you have Supergirl come back on in a month to go on a 9 week break after only being back for 4 weeks🤔 confusing right? Tell me about it. If you didn’t have Black Lightning steak Legends slot it would all me fine... and don’t even say that this isn’t Black Lightnings’ fault. I was going to watch the show but now the CW is just making me dislike all its shows. Wouldn’t be surprised if they screwed up every show they had, at least we would all be in the same boat right? Also I would’ve left a comment on the CW App but there is no where to write all the questions I have. What are you guys thinking? Supergirl is going to go down already after the James and Lena kiss and now you are doing this... ya fans deserve better. While you’re at it, promote the 100. Literally it’s going to be airing soon and i’ve seen no promotions... thanks and bye.Version: v2.14.6

Fixing the bugs would fix ratings too.The CW app is the most frustrating things. I don’t mind the ads — I expect them and accept them. But after every ad block, the app freezes up, requiring you to close it down and restart it, re-select your show (and episode) and resume. And if you’re lucky, it will pick up with the next segment of the episode. But 4 times out of 5, it will pick up at the end moment of the prior segment, leading right back into the ad block where it will freeze again. It has taken me two hours at times to watch a single episode of The Flash or Riverdale, because of all the restarts. This problem has persisted in the app for more than a year, and after running it on three separate devices that all exhibited the same problems. More people might watch episodes (and thus boost ratings, which CW needs) if CW would actually make the app functional..Version: 3.1.15

It is free butThere’s definitely issues but it’s a free streaming service so we can’t complain that much. Sometimes it’s becomes very blurry , commercials are very long, there’s no resume button so if you stop streaming and then go back you have to remember where you stopped or just rewatch the whole thing. Which is sometimes easier because otherwise you’ll watch like 6 minutes of commercials before you get back to your spot. All that I can deal with. most recently I’ve been having a new problem that’s never occurred before. I stream to my tv thru my chrome cast but now as soon as my phone screen locks, it completely kicks me off. Which is like two minutes. I can’t minimize the app because the same thing happens. I have to reconnect and start all over. Not an issue with the internet or chrome cast because Netflix/Hulu work just fine. This maybe started last week. I like a lot of the shows but trying to keep my phone screen active on the cw app screen for 50 minutes is a lot of effort for no reason really, even for a free app..Version: 3.1.6

Resume episode optionI love several shows on the CW but hate the app! You used to be able to press an episode then it would ask if you want to resume or start from the beginning but now there is a continue section which doesn’t work properly or updates. So you have to start an episode from the beginning to find your spot and of course you have to watch all the commercials again. Also there’s no pause option during commercials so if streaming is interrupted you have to restart the app or I made the mistake of disconnecting my Bluetooth during commercials which paused the commercial and I had no way of restarting it except to exit the app, But of course my spot in the episode wasn’t saved so I had to start the episode all over again! I’m seriously considering not watching my favorite shows and just waiting until the whole season comes out on Netflix..Version: 3.0.15

Current issuesThe app frequents issues with your Ads. Sometimes the Ads will run over the show, and I will miss 5 minute increments at a time because the ads play simultaneously and do not pause and start the show. This is a technical problem, but I also have a problem with the ads themselves. I have no control over the ads I see, and your ads often make me uncomfortable and even am often repulsed, as they deal with many thing completely irrelevant to me or expose me to topics that gross me out. It ruins the interest in your shows and the amount of time I am willing to commit and the more it occurs, the less I feel secure in your app. This can and should be remedied by allowing users to elect content of sponsors, or choose from a list of preselected topics at the very least. I honestly wouldn’t even mind seeing the same previews on repeat, so long as I do not have to see the rest of it at all. This allows you to better improve your demographic information as well, so I don’t see why it isn’t already an option, at the very least when you set up the account..Version: 3.1.21

Great app but is the expiration really necessary?I think this app is great when you can’t watch it on TV and it works wonders if you have the time to watch them before they expire. But, if you don’t then you have to wait for them to come out on Netflix and especially with shows that conjoin such as The Flash, The Arrow, DC Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl you can’t watch the episodes in order because they’re gone. Or watch the episodes in general, really. Another thing is that if you miss a period of time because you got busy then you may have watched episodes 1, 2, 3, and 4 but now it’s on 8, 9, and 10 and you can’t go back. I just wish that The episode season expires so that way you could watch them all and not have to worry about a time constraint. I have times where I get so busy that I can’t watch them so I have to just wait for them to come on Netflix which could be months and it’s functional but I just wish that for better access and convenience the episodes wouldn’t expire..Version: 3.1.4

Worst streaming app in the gameCW won the streaming rights for all of their shows, so I can’t watch Flash or Arrow or Batwoman on any other streaming service except on live Tv, here, or purchasing them outright on iTunes. If you’re going to be the exclusive streaming of shows, make a app that at least works as well as other streaming apps. On the iPad the app doesn’t support landscape mode except when watching content, probably because someone made the decision that this app is mainly for iPhone users. Is there any reason to put so much money behind these shows if we’re only going to watch on the smallest device possible? A lot of the design doesn’t match either. Buttons aren’t aligned, some are 2x larger than other buttons next to it (like the close player button), and the status bar is still visible when watching content. It also doesn’t support picture in picture mode on iPad or other multitasking capabilities..Version: 3.1.11

The update is unusableThis update makes absolutely zero sense. Previously, you could select a “schedule” or “shows” tab, click on a show, see a list of all of the available episodes, and see your watch history. You could click into a summary about the show and info about when episodes air. It wasn’t anything fancy, but it had the common sense features you’d expect on a streaming app. Now, you can only select the shows from the home page, there is no option to show a summary of the show itself, and you have to scroll through each individual episode. So, instead of a list of episodes that tracks whether you’ve watched it, you have to scroll through one episode at a time and try to figure out from a vague one sentence summary if you watched that episode already. Even if the app stayed exactly how it was before this “update” with zero extra features, it would be a massive improvement to go back to the previous version..Version: 3.0.1

Horribly bad orientation controlsThis app is incomprehensibly bad, at least as far as how it displays when holding the iPad in different orientations. For starters, when you open the app, it only supports portrait orientation, with the home button at the bottom. Now let’s be clear about something. We are watching a video, the only way to watch it is in landscape orientation. And that is exactly how the videos will play, but before you can watch them, you have to browse the selection screen with iPad held upright in portrait orientation. That is incomprehensibly ridiculous. Why wouldn’t you want to browse the listings in the same orientation as you are going to watch them in? As it is, the iPad is often easier to hold in landscape orientation. And it’s not like there isn’t an existing CW app that is used exclusively in landscape orientation. Hello Apple TV! But this gets better. Sometimes I have to have my iPad in landscape orientation with the home button on the left side, so I can have it plugged in while I’m watching something. And while the actual videos “can” play oriented correctly regardless of which side is up, when you pause a video, it will resume upside down if your iPad is held (or on a stand in my case) with the home button is on the left. And of course, when you exit a video, the home screen for the app is sideways. You would think the developers of The CW app have not actually used it themselves. It’s just that incomprehensibly absurd in the way it works..Version: 3.1.4

Incompetence at its finestI downloaded this on my FireTV to watch Dark Matter. Great show, terrible app. Watched several episodes the first time. I went back in and it had me starting episode 3, I was pretty sure I’d watched it already but I’ve seen the whole series already so I wasn’t sure. Watched through episode 5 this time. Tonight I come back ready to start episode 6 and it’s got me on episode 3. Don’t get me wrong, I love the show and am currently rewatching it but seriously they can’t accurately track what I’ve watched? You literally have one job, to stream entertainment correctly. No biggie, I’ll just exit and go to the proper episode. Guess what? You can’t do that from the show, you have to exit out and track down the series manually. The developers who created this app seem like they were bribed by rival streaming services to make a functional but annoying and stupid app designed to drive customers away. I would like to be watching Dark Matter again instead of writing this review but unfortunately after one episode tonight as the next was starting I got an “Ooops, try again message”. Spoiler alert: trying again did not work. I gave the app 2 stars but this are both for content, the actual app deserves zero stars. Garbage!.Version: 4.2.2

Still has major issuesCasting is a nightmare but watching from my phone isn’t any better. In fact, it almost is not worth watching because the audio is constantly off from the show. If you somehow manage to fix it, commercials always overlap with the show between each commercial, starting 30 seconds too early and ending 30 seconds too late. Since the newest update, the audio goes out anywhere within a scene, so you are guaranteed to constantly miss chunks of your shows at every chance. Also, unlike other apps this one doesn’t recognize when you’ve already watched a commercial so if you rewind (the only way To fix the awful audio issue) you’ll have to rewatch the whole lineup of commercials from scratch (better since the patch but still happens) and if you switch from your phone to cast to another device, the your show restarts from the beginning. The CW missed the mark here. The smaller channels do a much better job with their apps so there is no excuse for this app to be so horrible..Version: 3.1.16

Could use some improvementOverall, I enjoy the app. It’s a nice way to catch up on shows when I don’t actually have the CW channel. However, the past few months I’ve been experiencing a really annoying setback when watching episodes. When the episode pauses for commercial, I’m never taken back to the episode once the commercial is over. The screen just freezes and I have to exit out of the app and use the “continue watching” feature to pick up where I left off. Even then, I’m rarely taken back to the same part of the episode where I left off; I either have to rewatch the whole commercial break again and repeat the entire process, or I’m taken 10-15 minutes farther into the episode than where I left off. Makes watching very time consuming, tedious, and just not enjoyable honestly..Version: 3.1.4

Got me pressedIf I could rate it 0 stars I would, but it doesn’t exactly let me. So, I’ve been wanting to watch the second season of Riverdale for a while and I was told to download this app, and I was like okay cool lemme try. Turns out this app thinks it’s common sense to have episode one, but not the second, third, fourth, or fifth. Seriously, that’s so dumb. I mean, if you’re not going to have the next four episodes available, why even provide the first episode? I may be overreacting right about now but I don’t care at this point because what type of app just does that? I got some stuff spoiled to me and I was so confused just to find out that I went from the first episode to the sixth episode. I just suggest that if you don’t want to include the first five episodes, maybe you shouldn’t include the first one because that’s like leading someone on in a relationship and then just dropping them after making them think that you like them for a year..Version: v2.14.7

A Great StartFrom a video playing standpoint, this app works great. Perfect quality with no buffering in sight. The problem is in the interface itself. When you start the app, it’s only in portrait mode, yet when you start a video it goes landscape. Why not just have everything in landscape? Once the video begins playing, you’ll have all the information across the top of the screen stay visible the whole time. It seems like a small thing but it’s insanely distracting. I’d suggest following the path of all the other video apps and have only the video be on screen. It also doesn’t help with the battery usage while watching something. I tend to average a loss of at least 20% with each video. Good luck binging something. There’s a lot of potential to be one of the best video apps, and a truly free one at that..Version: 3.1.4

STARTUP SCREEN PORTRAIT MODE ONLY, WHY!!!What reason could there possible be for the CW app to startup in portrait mode only and then move into landscape mode only after show selection? CW your slogan is “Dare to Defy” that shouldn’t be to defy your audience wishes for a common sense app orientation setting customized by the user!. And another issue “Too Manny Commercials” enough is enough !!! When paid cable was introduced into the broadcast marketplace, we had the option of fast forward and there was finally a solution for the viewer to take control their programming. When paid satellite was introduced into the broadcast marketplace, again the viewer had control over their programming and annoying commercials could be a choice. Now, streaming is introduced and suddenly not only have you taken away freedom of choice “a service that should be available for a paid viewer” but we are forced to watch the same commercials over and over and over again. Two steps forward, three steps back..Version: 3.1.8

Insanely long commercials!!I’ve used it before and never had this problem. I really hope this isn’t a new thing. Literally stuck in a 5+ minute commercial. The same commercial has even played back to back!! I love the show but this is insane. I might as well try to catch the episodes live, it wouldn’t take this long and I could actually enjoy the show. It’d be more convenient fitting the actual first airing than watching on the app. It was stupid to exit because now I get another 5+ minute commercial, pretty sure it’s been 10 minutes. So frustrating I don’t even remember what just happened in the show. At this rate I’m going to have more time in commercial than the actual 45 minute show. This is insane!! Someone really needs to fix this. Luckily there’s only one more episode to the season or I would just wait until it’s on hbomax. That app definitely doesn’t have this problem. Must be a better managed app..Version: 4.1.1

App Update is InconvenientI’m rating the functionality of the app, which in my opinion is inconvenient and a downgrade. I prefer the app before they fixed it. My main issue is the inability to have it function in horizontal mode (except when actually watching the episode). I, and I know many others, watch this on their iPad therefore it makes it super difficult and inconvenient to scroll and see what you want to watch without having to constantly flip your iPad. I also don’t like the layout under each show. It makes finding episodes hard especially the most recent ones that you haven’t watched. It doesn’t even give me a function to see if I’ve watched that episode or not. I also don’t like that I’ve got to hunt for the trailer for the next episode either. I liked when I could see everything on one horizontal page. Overall, the app has made a huge downgrade in its improvements and the CW should be thankful that I love their shows to put up with such a crappy app..Version: 3.0.9
