Ratings and Reviews
Old videos not playing?
I love this app but out of nowhere recently the old UPF videos won’t play anymore!
I checked the FAQ and made sure they worked on my phone browser. FAQ says to reach out but I didn’t see contact info so hopefully the developer sees this review.
Again, I love the app and it’s usually great, but this problem just cropped up out of nowhere and I’m really hoping there’s something that can be done so old UPFs will play again
Developer Response ,
Hey Robbie, thanks for the review! This is a known server-side issue so unfortunately there isn't anything I can do to address it, but it has been reported to GB in the forum thread "503 errors and download issues for premium videos", so hopefully a fix is on the way.
Amazing free app for Giant Bomb
Downloaded the app originally so I could cast easily to my tv’s using Chromecast. Clean simple design is easy to navigate and it works flawlessly. It even remembers all your account information like where you left off in a video when you come back to watch more. I was slightly skeptical of a third party app for Giant Bomb, but it’s been soooo nice.
Workaround for Roku?
I love this app so much, and the ability to view individual shows was really missing from the previous app I used.
Is there a way that we could get a share prompt that is a link to the video file itself? The official Roku app for Giant Bomb is lacking a lot of features, including setting the video quality.
The idea could work how the share prompt already works, but maybe holding down the download button could instead open a share prompt that iOS could take from there?
There are existing cast-like apps for the Roku, which could take that direct link and run with it, making this an easy way to support the Roku.
I appreciate the consideration!
Developer Response ,
Hey, thanks for the positive review! I'm not too familiar with how Roku casting works, but I'm definitely not opposed to building in some kind of integration. It might be worth posting this on the GB forum thread (there's a link in the app under More > Forums Feedback) so we can tease out the details.
