Horrible service. They advertised having a specific movie I wanted to watch, which required setting up a trial account through Samsung. After jumping through hoops, I find out the movie I want isn't actually available on their service. The movie selection is very low quality. In order to cancel, I had to log into so many accounts and the option to unsubscribe is buried in a way thats nearly impossible to find. I hope this saves even one person from the frustration I'm experiencing right now.

The app no longer launches on my phone. most of the time I can get it to work on the Roku, but about 6 months ago it just flat out refused to open on my Redmagic 9s. I tried all combinations of uninstall/ reinstall, cache clear, phone reboot, and force stopping. I've held this service for at least two years, but will not be renewing with the price hike if they can't even prioritize compatibility.

I was hoping for a good app. What I got was an app that would freeze or go blank halfway thru a movie. It does this on my Samsung phone, my samung tv and even the roku! They also tried to make it super hard to cancel. I love horror movies but this company's app is horrible. This was sadly a total waste of my time! Glad I cancelled before the free trial was over!
