John GruberThe Amazon Prime app for Apple TV has some great features (e.g.: X-Ray tells you the actors in a scene when you pause) but is the cheapest-looking app I’ve used on any platform in decades.
Chad C.@gruber Oh have you had the pleasure of skipping back in a scene a few minutes to rewatch—only to have playback trouble so badly you have to restart the app? Infuriating every time I skipped back during The Peripheral because I couldn’t understand the dialog. Which is also infuriating.
@dominocollege That happened to me during The Peripheral too, for the same “what did they just say?” reason. Also, it would crash frequently after rewinding to toggle captions, too.
@gruber yep. Same thing. Maddening. And also for whatever reason YouTube TV app also got worse this past year with black screens on launch (required forced quits).
Chris Domico@dominocollege @gruber HBO Max is a close second IMO. It can’t remember what I was watching from device to device and randomly skips me back to seasons I’ve already watched.
@dopeyeyes @gruber You want to know whats even worse? AMC Plus. Might be the worst over all experience of any streaming App I’ve used.
@dominocollege @gruber Yes!! Inhad that one for a specific reason for a while and it was garbage.
sankaraThat particular thing happens with Netflix as well for me.
