Horrible ads
JayG28439

The advertisements on this app will drive you nuts, literally went back and forth alternating 6 ads back and forth for atleast 4 minutes. Definitely only here for one show and that’s it smh

I used to like it but very since you guys added ads and not very cool so like i would delete it but it has good episodes so i watch them but the ads are still so annoying.


The new update is too much
pbrooke96

The new update for both my Roku tv and phone app is kinda confusing to navigate. Before the recent update it was so much easier! Adding the CW seed series to it is also a little much for me because although I love watching the seed series, most Loyal CW followers like myself have already seen majority of them start to finish and are trying to stay up to date on current shows so personally I prefer when they were separated. Since you are combining the new with the seed, personally I’d find it easier if when scrolling through say A-Z it was listed like- Current CW Shows A-Z: … CW Seed Series A-Z: … Same format for the home page. Thank you.


Too many ads

Everyone hates ads and commercials that’s the point of wanting to use the app.

Video player has stopped working

I loved this app but for the past week or two their video player on the app has completely stopped working. I haven’t been able to watch any of the new shows that have come out, what’s going on?!?


One show

Never thought my legends of tomorrow stream would be so good, until I downloaded this app. Thanks cw app developers


Apple AirPlay Doesn’t work
ZRanch

This app says it is AirPlay compatible yet I have a brand new Samsung TV that the CW app refuses to connect to via AirPlay or Screen Sharing. I tried an iPad and had a friend try their iPhone and none of them would connect, yet all the other apps I tried had no issues connecting to AirPlay. This validates it is an app issue and is now forcing me to buy a Chromecast to put on my $1500 TV just to watch the CW. Hopefully Chromecast works…


Ads

Way too many ads!! I’m fine with some ads. I understand they are necessary but this is just plain greed. Good shows but not worth it. Worse than watching the tv channel!


This app is a disaster
MKinFL

The same goes for their app on Roku. Trying to use the phone app because CW seed content isn’t fully working on Roku app even though they merged the apps. Airplay keeps freezing at a certain point with commercials. A waste of time.
