Still functionally impaired

At first this update seemed great as it dealt with sundry issues that made the earlier version unwatchable. However, they have seriously missed the boat on some of the simplest and most fundamental usability functions. To wit:
1) Unlike RSS player or basically every other video player, this app doesn't have a "keep awake" feature and allows the screen to lock, cutting off the video. C'mon man.
2) Certain videos will just stop playing for no apparent reason whatsoever. Not a "buffering" and play as soon as it has enough to play, just a hard stop. Really?
3) This app never saves my place. Seriously? As if we have the time to watch episodes all the way through in one sitting. This would be such an easy thing to implement. Remember what video you were watching last rather than make us spend our valuable time hunting for the darn thing again because the navigation capability still pretty much is terrible. Just fix it already.

Doesn’t Work

So disappointed ☹️ Can’t even login into my account.

Developer Response ,

Hey BZoned, there was an issue with autofill and password managers with the login system. This issue has since been fixed as of version 6.1.1. Please try again and let us know if you are still having issues.

Great concept, execution needs work.

This app is wonderful. The very idea of having such giants in the world of photography like Jay Maisel etc telling me about his work and how I can improve is phenomenal. The app supporting AirPlay is also fabulous. Where it fails majorly is in the execution. Watching the videos on my tv via Apple TV is a constant exercise is multi-tasking. You have to be aware if your iPhone or iPad is still on or your video will stop after the current episode has ended. If it's still on, then the continuous play will keep going. If you try to turn your apple device back on, you will have to kill the app then restart, find your episode again, then restart. That isn't a seamless execution. I have high speed internet that I pay extra for to have even faster speeds, however, the video sometimes stalls, loses the HD quality, or the picture in it's entirety. Again, poor execution. I have looked through the reviews and have seen that I'm not the only one. Why there isn't an upgrade is beyond me. The saving grace of this app is what is mentioned in the beginning. That alone is worth while to keep the app. Fix the execution and this app goes into the essential category for all photographers.
