Default episode order should be chronological!

When you open a new season of FaceOff the first thing you see is an image of the final three contestants! Huge spoiler the second you open the app. You can change the order of the episodes but as soon as you exit the app it resets to default. Just ridiculous.
Could be better

Like this app overall. Needs improvement. Fewer (or no) commercials would be nice. More SYFY Channel programs would be especially nice - three of my favorite shows are missing (Eureka, Haven, Stargate Universe). Why not offer ALL of your programs to fans...?
Shows are great! App is mediocre

Don’t get me wrong. I like that I can stream BSG or anything else that the cable provider won’t let me access on demand. But the cast functionality is pretty rough. App gets stuck. Won’t play next episode without closing everything and navigating back through the clunky menu. In the end, it mostly works. If you can put up with the clunky menu and getting stuck on an episode when casting it’s fine. The choices are great though
Bad On-Demand User Experience

I initially liked the app. It supports Chromecast and I can use the TV app to go directly to movies or shows on demand. However, there is no basic fast forward/resume playback for videos! I was watching a movie (with ads, but I can deal with that) and got interrupted. I stopped the movie planning to pick up in the middle when I got back. But, no. The SyFy app only lets you watch from the beginning! I don't want to re-watch an hour of movie just to see the last half hour! If they fix this it'll probably be a 4-5 star app. Until then, it's a failure as a video app. Edit: Seeking to a point in the video sometimes works. After several times restarting the app, the bar showed up. Still a big flaw.
Love it

Lots of movies to choose from on demand. Including 80s horror classics just in time for Halloween.
Lets me watch a lot of old episodes

Interface is a little hard to figure with respects to saving favorites but it does work to let me watch quite a bit of old stuff (e.g. BSG) once I find them.
