Great since the latest update (5 stars)
The most recent update solved the crashing issue. So happy to have this app back; it's great!

The app is great! Too bad I cannot use it in Russia! :-(

Mr (5 stars)
I love the app. it steams seamlessly to my Apple TV from my I-pad. I do wish the featured shows changed more often.

I just up dated it and it no long streams to my I-TV
