worthless. takes forever to install, hangs on empty screen and then hangs on get started page. on Google Pixel 10. my biggest mistake was signing up for the subscription before installing the app. now I have to go through the effort of canceling, literally the next day. this is not rocket science. it's just streaming content - a problem that's already been solved. looks like Comcast cut you off from tech too.

Horrible. I signed up for real time political coverage. One might think a yearly subscription might get your favorite show early, or at least timely. At least the political ones. No, no. The day AFTER the election, 1AM the next day and the most important political shows are not available. Fortunately, my free service had the episode available. Audio only, but better to have access while news is relevant. How can a company with such resources produce such a useless app MID ELECTION?!?

Video stops working a lot, especially if you pause or switch to and from another app. Must close and restart app to fix. Would be nice if it could go back within an hour-long show even if live. Glad to have access to watch election night.
