Mykola Fedurko (ID: 00000009a63ad34f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/28/2023 Works good, but works bad because it won't change an episode automatically in both of you, so dislike.

EnforcersShadow (ID: 000000af52f56d23) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/06/2022 Only installed because I tried pasting a link that would start the video at a specific time. It informed me that I needed the app and then refused to even let me post the a standard link to the video without throwing a hissy fit and telling me I needed the app. I will uninstall as soon as I play this one damn video.
