Once great app, now a real pain to use – Hulu: Watch TV shows & movies Review

The Hulu app used to be the best streaming app around, but over the past few months it’s gotten progressively worse and worse to the point of being incredibly frustrating to use. Until the following issues are fixed, this app is practically unusable for anyone who relies on a casting device to stream Hulu shows: - Casting devices (Chromecast, Xbox, Roku, etc) no longer stays connected to the iOS device that is being casted from, for example any time I need to pause or adjust a stream to the Chromecast I have to go into the Google Home App, disconnect the chromecast from the Hulu stream, and then fully restart the stream - Autoplay is broken when casting from iOS devices, whenever an episode of a TV show finishes playing it will autoplay to the next episode, but start less than a minute from the end of the episode instead of the beginning, even if the last time watching the episode it wasn’t paused at this location. This is incredibly frustrating since whenever a new episode starts, you have to manually restart the episode, or even fully disconnect from the casting device and restart the stream - If iOS device is able to maintain connection to casting device, the playback bar at bottom of device will show the currently playing episode, but tapping it doesn’t open the streaming options (play, pause, volume, etc). The only way to access these options again is to disconnect the casting device and restart the stream
