Used to love it but the user interface has gotten so lazy, cramped, disrespectful, and useless it's hard to recommend anyone use it now. (Pictured UI above no longer exists) Only 2 (literal square yard sized) thumbnail slides visible on screen at a time. Any app is pointless if there aren't at least 6 visible slides while navigating. Browsing videos has effectively been removed. It is now a chore to watch and impossible to browse.

The app crashes if you want to watch a live stream and an add comes on. Watching or skipping the add always causes a crash, starting the app again and go to the live stream will play without showing the add first (thus not crashing). After a while the icons will be replaced by a square with a cross (). For the rest very happy with this app.

I cannot say I am fan of the new design language when bringing up the seek bar on Chromecast with Google TV. Before the latest update, it was a bit more aesthetic and did not obstruct the screen as much when you brought up the seek bar since it was semi-transparent. However, when you bring up the seek bar now, it has this terrible opaque black backing that obstructs about two fifths (2/5) of the video. ---- My theory is that this was done for performance reasons as I notice when you pause, there's no more animation for the pause like there was before (though the symbols are misaligned when you pause). I can understand not doing animations for the sake of speeding the app up, but why remove the transparency? When a user brings up the seek bar, it is not like they're totally disinterested in the video. Being able to see bits of the video underneath is helpful.
