Still all the same frustrating issues that I reviewed a couple years ago. Constantly crashes or never loads. Finding shows you want to watch is a nightmare. Once you finally get to the shows you want it freezes up. God forbid you accidentally hit the wrong episode and want to go back. I have to wonder if developers actually try to use this app or even read reviews. This is one of the most frustrating apps I have ever used. I also tried on my fire TV which is even worse somehow.

When I am logged out, I can see every episode fine. When I log in, however, it says "What the Huh?" over and over again, flashing. This has been a problem for almost a year now, and not just for me. Why should we suffer? It also glitches quite a bit. For example, when it goes to load, if you press anywhere, you can rewind, or go forward into the loading screen, and if you do, it ultimately breaks it. The second one is the new for you videos. It truly repeats itself, and flashes. Please fix.

"What the huh? An error! (Sorry for the trouble)" happens everytime i open a video. And a long ad to top it off before disappointment. Why is it always portrait too? It is very hard to navigate the app. And the 'new for you'? No! It is very hard to find an episode you want. This app is a frustration machine. Dont download this. It wastes space.

The app is a hot mess. It insists on playing videos, even if you haven't chosen anything to play. It also frequently gets confused when you try to switch to the short that you actually want to want, and will compound the already ridiculous ad segments. It also uses an insane amount of data for no reason. Here's a tip, Cartoon Network, look towards Netflix for a competent user interface and experience.

Worst user interface for any app. Why does it immediately go to the shuffle and not let you choose what shows you want to see first? I know it's tailored for a younger crowd, but don't push out adults with your terrible design features. Appreciate you adding Chromecast/casting, but the stream crashes when leaving the app (all other apps allow browsing). If it reconnects it goes to a different show/episode. Fix this please.

Honestly, you may be better off buying a subscription to an antivirus and watching the content on a third party website. This app doesn't work well on any platform: on Roku, it crashes without fail when you boot it up, not allowing you to even get to the mix; on the Firestick, it buffers for ads then freaks out and crashes, setting you back to the beginning; and on the phone it's impossible to navigate without frustration.

It's really great for Watching episodes of your favorite shows! But the Captions are a bit broken.. Whenever i turn them on, sometimes they make grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes. And other times it just full out glitches. Also, the Cast system takes really long to load. whenever i want to cast something, i can't tell if it's loading or not due to the time it takes for it to cast.

The app begins auto playing videos immediately, before I have a chance to search for what I want. Once I chose the show I want, again it auto players the most recent episode instead of allowing me to choose. Then when I choose an episode it takes so long to load more than half the time I give up and close the app. I really just want to watch adventure time, this shouldn't be so difficult. The playback is iffy and sometimes ads play at the same time as the show. The closed captioning is a joke. Words are missing, spelling is awful, and it's not always in sync.

The UI seems like it's designed to frustrate you. It autoplays a random episode or clip as soon as the app opens. The video controls don't match norms from other video apps (i.e. pause is only in the corner, not in the middle) You have to blindly stumble around the app to find episodes you actually want to watch. The route to get there is totally unintuitive. To top it all off, no videos load. It flashes rapidly between loading and "something went wrong" screens, fast enough to strain my eyes.

Trying to watch the steven universe movie was the most frustrating experience I've ever had with an app. If at any point you exit the app or put the phone in sleep mode, the movie starts over and you have to guess where you were, watch over 2 minutes of ads and then find out if you guessed right, and if you didn't, you'll probably have to watch even more ads, and after that, the screen will probably be dark with the "back" button in the corner, which never goes away. Constant glitches and ads.

Nice quality but no casting option. No obvious selection for choosing a season. It forces you to use landscape mode which is irritating. All the animations get in the way when you are simply trying to find the episode you want. And if you accidentally touch an episode you don't want, you have to find the back button in the app (because you cannot use back on your phone or tablet), and then have to scroll through every season to find the one you were initially trying to watch in the first place.

Every six months or so I try to download this app in the hopes that it's improved. Sadly, less than five minutes after opening the app I have had to uninstall it. It has an unintuitive UI and constantly disconnects, if it ever connects at all. It's really frustrating when I want to show support for the shows I like but I don't have TV.

On the plus side, this app is the only way to keep up to date on shows without spending a ton of money. Unfortunately, the average show runs for 10 minutes, but this app crashes after 2. Including a 30 second ad for each restart, that means I have to restart the app and renavigate to the episode 5 times before I can finish it. Basically unusable.

Trying to cast to Chromecast it lags and crashes a lot. Half the time it randomly changes to other shows/episodes. Really just super buggy which is disappointing. updated 7/11. Still terrible. Can't cast to tv so what's the point. So many bugs. Also when I finally give up and go back to netflix it suddenly start on my phone again really loud. I love CN content but honestly the worst app I have by a landslide. I mean embarrassing levels of suck.

Awful. Awful awful awful. It never loads the videos i want to watch. There's always some sort of glitch. Sometimes it skips to the credit sequence format, sometimes it shows the Something Went Wrong! Sorry! Page and it won't let you reload. The only option is to skip to the next video WHICH DOESN'T PLAY EITHER. I have tried different devices. I hae tried different wifi and internet connections. I have restarted my phone 3 times to no avail. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, NOTHING

This has to be the most frustrating, and least functioning, app I have ever used. I downloaded it to watch a few of my favorite shows and connect them to my chrome cast. Unfortunately, this app will drop the connection to my t.v. any time my phone screen turns off, I would also click on videos and it would flat out stream different shows. There seems to be no logical way of organizing shows, it just forces you into a seemingly nonsensical playlist hell hole.

Simple and Clearly Terrible. I don't care about the ads, I care able how difficult it is to navigate to a particular season and episode. Some of the auto player videos need to relax I'm trying to avoid spoilers as I catch up on a series. Horrible UI/UX. Honestly with billions of successful templates I can't understand the thought process here. Show navigation and episode navigation is terrible and far from intuitive. Episode playback is harder than it need to be. It shouldnt take 4 magical swiping gesture to make a video full screen or pause it. Or go back or forward an episode. UAT your app. If your gonna force people to use the mobile app instead of the desktop to watch videos make sure the thing is useable. Else stick to the desktop there is a lot of room for forgiveness.

Blech. Free option is nice to try out. But why drop me into the middle of a series? I would prefer to see the first few and pay for more than be forced to start mid-series. Also it runs an ad before anything. And if i navigate away from it for a moment, i have to watch another ad. And if i try to explore the app, i am funneled into a running episode when i don't even feel like I've picked one. It tastes bad. Not want.

Does not work. Only black screen when you push open after loading. I will be taking it right back off. What a freaking waste of my time to get my hopes up for nothing 😔! Take the damn app off Google if you're not going to run it right. What the heck is this jackass stuff!!?? Or at least had to leave this review..hopefully others won't bother... 😡

You can watch limited episodes and movies for free which is nice, but to fully unlock the app you need to login with a cable provider, and not only that but a big brand known one. Nobody has cable anymore, and even if you do then what's the point of having an app that does almost the same thing on only one channel? Even when we did have cable, our provider was local so I could never end up unlocking this app.
