Doesn’t Save Progress – TLC GO - Stream Live TV Review

Despite checking the “Remember me” option when I log in with my cable provider, it never does. When I close the app, and reopen it later, I have to log in all over again. The “continue watching” option doesn’t work either. If the app closes or crashes (which happens frequently), I lose my progress in the episode and have to start all over. If I try to drag the dot through to the point I left off at, I have to sit through yet another ridiculously long commercial break, despite having just gone through one when the episode started. The commercial breaks in this app are much longer than on television, and they are extremely repetitive. Sometimes you can have a five minute commercial break with the same commercial on what seems like a continuous loop. I can recite a lot of the commercials verbatim because they come up so many times. The commercial breaks don’t occur at what you would consider a “normal” part of the episode. Someone can be talking, and all of a sudden, their conversation is abruptly interrupted, and it doesn’t always resume in a spot that makes sense. TLC advertises that you can stream whole seasons, and sometimes even an entire series of certain shows, but some shows aren’t available, and a lot of episodes are locked. I starred a few of my favorite shows hoping that I could easily see the newest episodes in the ”Favorite Shows” tab, but those don’t save either. It’s nice being able to watch episodes you missed, but this app is incredibly frustrating to use, and isn’t at all what the developer promises.
