Aggressive watermarking ruins films

How am I supposed to evaluate a film when it is constantly broken with incredibly aggressive watermarking? Awful. Just send discs with whatever marking they had before. This is trash and I won’t bother using it next season.

EDIT:
Guys, you’re watermarking every 10 minutes over the center of the screen. Other studios don’t do this. And I live in an area where my guild does not screen films. I’m well aware of the dangers of piracy, but you’re kidding yourself if you think you’re providing a worthwhile experience. Go ahead, you got a video stream working on the internet, pat yourselves on the back. But don’t pretend that what you’ve made here is watermarked the same or as flexible as the screener discs. Don’t even.

Developer Response ,

Hello Dapietri. Sorry you had issues. The theatrical award season for 2018 ended over a month ago and the guild access was turned off at the beginning of March. The TV award access hasn't started yet. As for the watermarking, the movies are both visually and forensically watermarked with session-based info from the current user but this has been a policy for over 15 years. All screeners have watermarks even the DVD's. Content piracy is a huge deal for all studios. If the watermarking is an issue for you then we would suggest you attend the free screenings the studios sponsor at local theaters for guild members. Again, we are sorry it did not meet your standards.

I wish I could give 0 stars

The screeners will only play on my phone. I would rather watch them on my tv. When I try to cast the screener on my tv it just continues to refresh and can’t not download/play a movie or show. Also, I can only cast through my DirectTV stream box and not on my smart TV or Apple TV. This has been so frustrating because I haven’t watched anything and probably won’t be able to vote for the awards this year. What a waste of my dues. So disappointed.

Won't work in Mac OS 12.0.1 Monterey

I just installed the app, downloaded my film selection and tried to watch. All that I was able to see was the start of the WB logo sequence before the screen went black. The progress bar kept going forward, but no picture. I tried this multiple times, but had the same problem over and over and gave up. I don't have the patience for software that won't function as it should.
