    I use the Apple TV and iPad versions of the app to watch content and both are fine. It’s the movies that make this great. Grouped by them, director, and actor. A great find. Only wish: add a jump back or jump forward 15sec option in the nav.
  • Best value streaming service for cinephiles

    Ultimately each person is gonna value a streaming service based on the type of content it offers and they like, but if you like watching movies often and you’re someone who owns a few criterion releases, the value here is unmatched and it’s not close. Annual plan is cheaper monthly than almost every other subscription service, and what you get here that you get literally nowhere else is extra content on criterion edition films such as commentary tracks, which are somewhat niche but again if this is your speed, it’s amazing. I only use the app to airplay to my tv, but it’s simple to navigate and the collections they feature make picking something a bit easier than other services in my opinion.

    As a charter subscriber am so enjoying this site. The App is faultless the selections diverse and the library refreshed regularly. It’s just superb.
