VICE TV 17+

Love the app. I get to watch all of my favorite shows from VICE (except for a few I wish were in here) when I’m not at home. My biggest complaint is forcing people to watch 5 minute ads. It’s truly absurd. I’m glad we can skip some but the 5 minute LASIK one where we’re forced to watch an eyeball get lasered is beyond annoying and cringey. Giving this app 3 stars for the great content but terrible ads and missing shows that should be on here.

I’m torn. The content is great. Informative, interesting, well written. But it’s that crappy app that keeps going down for days and weeks on end that I hate. So 5-star content with a 1-star app make this a 3-star review.

Love the app, I have always loved vice content, but why do they add the restriction requiring the app to be front and center for airplay to keep playing! You can't even answer a call or text without the airplay stream being fully disrupted. Worse, when you try to restart your stream it requires you to reselect the video and start from the beginning. This is clearly some restriction that vice has in place as there are many apps that allow you to start an airplay stream and then turn your phone off yet the stream continues to play on your Apple TV. Not only does this limitation drain your battery, but as I said, it essentially locks your phone into the app. It's as if vice doesn't want you using airplay at all (maybe there's some monetary reason, but it doesn't make sense as there's no way to pay up or subscribe to this same content, even via a different device)
