Increadibly buggy

2016: so there we have it again... Apple forcing down the latest of ios with the latest of this unbelievably unprofessional thing, while makimg sure that rhe previous version is dead. Yeah!!!suddenly g... does not seem so bad. I will sell my phone if the authors make another stage presentation.

2015: so much for the brilliant architecture showcased in one of the wwdc 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??
