Apple Developer App Reviews

Any chance you can make it work with Apple TV? Thanks

I love the service, but the app needs work! For those of us with intermittent internet connection, the ability to download videos for later watching (and rematching) is very important. The problem is that there is currently no way the display only the videos that are on the device (that have already been downloaded), and these are only indicated in the list by the absence of the cloud icon. Just making it possible to highlight them would help; making it possible to display downloaded videos by themselves would be even better. Also, the rewind and fast forward controls in the video player barely work. Admittedly, I’m using an older iPad, but it’s awful! Adding buttons for 15 second rewind and forward, such as in the Podcasts app, would greatly enhance the value of videos, even if those controls were only available when those videos were being played from memory rather than being streamed. The more difficult the material, the more important it is to be able to do this. I know I sometimes need to hear a subtle point many times before I get it, and I’m sure that’s also true of others.

Login sessions continuously expire. Just think if you had to log into your iCloud Photos account every month. Madness.

So much for the brilliant architecture showcased in one of the videos... this app is truly a shame which crashes for so many reasons and has poor usability. E.g.: what kind of a designer whould not let users filter by the fact that a video is downloaded on the device or not, or loose its state so regularly(did u watch the state restoration sessions at all?)... seriously, parade less on stage and use you brain a bit more. It is impossible for this app to have been tested (beyond ok, play, stop, close- job done): it systematically plays 2 videos (image playing once, but soundtracks overlayed) when terminating playback a certain specific way and starting a second video (the reason is even explained in one of the recent tvOS videos). This is actually not the only way to get 2 or 3 videos playing at the same time. The only way to stop that nonsense is to kill the app, and then good luck searching around to figure which one was last playing. there are plenty of sessions you might want to watch on how to handle errors in the network layers... problems during downloads lead to frozen controls: cannot pause, cannot cancel, cannot delete - have to kill the app then try to delete the faulty download again. In the more extreme situations, i ran into the UI reporting a partial download, killing the app and the download and restarting it led to the UI saying there was already a file by that name. And that problem can only truly be fixed by deleting/reinstalling the app. I think what this shows is that the brilliant new design is either a really bad idea or that it is too complicated for the people who implemented this app. In all cases, this is truly an insult to professional programming. PS: these problems have been around for months... and as usual nobody is doing anything about them... and you guys want to write the software for a car??

Please include controls to toggle the speed of video playback in future versions. Examples: .5x 1x 1.5x and 2x
