Was great....but
Ooh noo

Loved this app but with new update you must log in with email. Just deleted the app...would reinstall if they went back to simply tap and play.


Now I have to give my personal info?
IAMBETTIS

Not only did this app never work properly now I have to give you my email address or have a Facebook account to use it? Ridiculous. Delete


Last update has ruined it.

The last update has ruined it. Now you have to register and the videos take forever to buffer and play, before it was almost instantaneous.


Videos don’t play completely
Utahgymboi

Videos don’t play completely. They lack about 30 seconds before the end of the skit or so and then cut to an advertisement mid-video, and then play the next item. Super frustrating! The app otherwise is great and the content is the best, but it’s a pretty terrible viewing experience. Just use Hulu.


Search

Trying to find skits is too difficult on search


Login required? No thanks.

Just tried to use this app after a long time and I am now being forced to create an account or login via Facebook? Just what I need yet another password and/or my information harvested on Facebook for Steve Bannon’s friends to scheme with. NO THANKS.

It’s a good app but I miss Will Ferrell!!


Extremely buggy
dsjohnson2

I used to use this app a lot because it’s the most organized way to watch pretty niche, largely forgotten sketches, but it glitches so much that it’s now completely unusable. The app can’t even start without some kind of error message, and if you try to search for the exact title of any sketch, it will not yield any results at all. If you delete and redownload the app, it works for a minute or two, but if you try to skip to a different video or (god forbid) use the search option, the app crashes completely. I love this app especially now that there’s an option for saving your favorite clips, but I’m starting to get tired of waiting for a version that doesn’t completely self-destruct. It used to be usable at the least, but now I can’t even open it. Until these bugs get fixed, I’ll stick to watching the SNL channel on YouTube.


Worst app
deekay725

Crashes every single time I try to watch a clip


Connection timeout error simulator
EnchantedRqainbow_

I hope you enjoy watching your favorite skit while closing the timeout connection error 1,000,000 times! My record is 419 what’s yours? Devs, fix this god awful app.
