Great content, needs chromecast support

Really great shows, hope they stick with it. The only wishlist item is for chromecast support which most other video apps have.
Very Promising

I say that this app is rather wonderful. No bugs, no purchases required to watch the videos. The only downside is that (and this might just be me) there is no option to turn the quality of the video down for faster loading speeds (ex. 1080p, 720p, 360p, etc.) Otherwise, if you love learning than you'll love this.
BIAS FREE!!!

No way to share .... in my case app froze or closed when using .... you'd think they would have the basics down when launching a IOS application with content
It's Free free free

As a college student there are so many media news outlets nowadays I often just purge the news from Facebook but these short mini informational videos on current issues and places are so interesting and completely won me over with the competent and unbiased presentation (showing both the opinions of large and small businesses). It's perfect for watching a couple mins each day during food breaks.
Trailer Looks Great

First time viewing. Thought trailer looked professional and serious subjects to get one thinking and/or starting a conversation. Will return to raise the star reviews or lower them. Thus far it's good.
