Yidio - Streaming Guide

Here’s what I think should be changed: 1) Although load times have improved with recent updates, the app still takes a little too long to load initially. 2) The biggest bug is that the app will not restore to the original position in a list after viewing an entry. For example, if I search movies by a set of MyApps and start scrolling, I may scroll through 5 pages worth of movies, find one I like, and then click it to view details. Everything is fine till this point—now here’s the problem—when I click back to return to the list, I start back at the beginning of the original list! There should be a way for the app to “remember” where I left off and return to that spot. Web browsers have been able to do this sorta thing since their beginning. It shouldn’t be that much more coding to add this small feature. Without fixing this bug, it makes practical use of the app very limited.

Virtually all of the speed problems have been resolved. The app makes it easy to find streaming sources for specific TV shows and movies. The last year of updates has made a huge difference in usability. The UI is basic, without a lot of clutter. Search results are accurate , but not always complete - it may miss a source on occasion. Given the sheer number of TV and movie sources and stream available, it does a very good job of locating my requests. I’d like to see a lower price for the annual upgrade, however the free version does a good job. I’ll kick my review up to 5 stars if the upgrade is worth the price - just signed up today.

Edit: The new layout seems to mean that this app now only works in portrait orientation on an iPad? I am not going to pick up my device off its stand and flap it around (kinking and shortening the life of my cord), check the app, and then flap it around some more and get it settled again between shows. Not over and over as a daily thing, for sure. I never use portrait for anything on my iPad unless it is unavoidable, and certainly not when consuming videos. I used to like this app a lot, and hung in through the no-saves phases, and the slow-loading era, but ... this orientation thing doesn't look like a bug ... I think the developers chose to do this on purpose. If so, it's time for me to move on. —— Previous comment: The app has a nice interface and is great for keeping track of what I have watched across platforms. While it is pretty good for checking availability on various services, the prices aren’t always accurate. Unfortunately it has a problem now where it has stopped saving data recording what shows I have checked off. It had this problem for a while not long ago and it was fixed or resolved itself, and now it is doing it again. I hope it is fixed soon, and doesn’t happen again, because it has almost gotten annoying enough to go set up all my shows and etc on a different app.
