Motor Trend OnDemand for Android
I love the content and the shows are great but Jesus Christ try and have it load!! It's touch and go at best. Seriously, unless you absolutely have to see Roadkill or Roadkill Garage as soon as it comes out just save your money and watch on YouTube. That's what I do. I'm basically paying $4.99 to see shows the day they come out and for old shows I go to YouTube because I know they'll play reliably. C'mon guys, figure it out!!
Chromecast is terrible so far. Video stops seconds to a minute or so in, still shows time elapsing but nothing on tv. Video locally on phone is ok, other apps cast just fine, so has to be MTOD. Also, provide option to not auto start latest video when you click on a show, that is annoying. Still in trial period, but will not pay money for app that doesn't work right.
Can't believe I pay for an app monthly that doesn't work. Playback is choppy and it constantly switches video like im turning my phone if it's not fixed soon I will be canceling my subscription and waiting for roadkill on YouTube
I loved this app when i first got it. But now it will not let me replay past episodes that i liked and wanted to watch again. All it does is just go on a endless load bar and not do anything at all. Not even when I updated the app. Nope, still not working.
Love the content, hate the app. So tired of the rainbow pinwheel of buffering. Went so far as changing the settings to 360p to no avail. Have to use this since MTOD won't work on my desktop unless I run it through Google Chrome. Again, I LOVE RK, RK Garage, Engine Masters, and HRG, but for the love of gravy, please figure this out. Dammit man.........
MTOD is officially BAD A**! THANK YOU! Google Cast makes everything better. Thank you for listening. And to MORGAN HUMES - SAYING IT DOESN'T NEED PERMISSIONS FOR YOUR CONTACTS...HOW ELSE WOULD YOU SHARE VIDS YOU Liked WITH PEOPLE? THEY NEED TO ACCESS YOUR CONTACTS. DUH. YOU KNOW...SHARE THIS LINK... THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS YOUR CONTACTS TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THE LINK LOL. HOW ELSE WOULD THE APP BE ABLE TO SHARE IT? UNLESS YOU JUST DENY ACCESS...THEN YOU'D HAVE TO ENTER EVERYTHING MANUALLY... EMAILS ADDRESSES, PHONE NUMBERS, OR HOWEVER YOU CHOSE TO SHARE IT. NO SELECTING A NAME FROM UR CONTACTS. YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THE LIST TO GET THE INFO THRU THE APP. YOU'D HAVE TO BACK OUT AND OPEN CONTACTS, FIND IT, GO BACK TO THIS APP AND ENTER THE NUMBER, EMAIL OF WHOEVER YOU WERE SHARING IT WITH. FORGET ABOUT SHARING ON twitter or Facebook or Instagram. Youd have to copy the link an open those apps separately
The app constantly crashes on start and when it does load every video would cause it to crash as well. This app needs some serious work. Chromecast support is incredibly buggy, it crashes even more when connected to a cast capable device.
Great content. No doubt there. Tired of seeing the spinning rainbow loading thing or trying to reload whatever I'm trying to watch. It's not my Ferrari-fast internet connection, it's the app. Xbox app isn't great either.
There are several huge problems with this app. But the far worst is that it's not playing your video. It has an auto play feature which you can't turn off. Now the problem with this is that once a video starts playing, the app crashes and gets stuck on the spinning wheel of rainbows for the video you actually like to see. So unless you only want to see the latest video you're in for a problem. Now they did add chrome cast and that is a nice feature, but it helps very little when you can't watch your chosen video in the first place. Lastly for all non US citizens, you can forget about any Motorsport broadcasts, they're all blocked and all you get are the original series which you can't watch. If you are still hellbent on seeing the shows, you're better off watching it on a computer. I love the shows but this just isn't worth the money or the frustration.
Content is great but the app is horrendous. If the chromecast feature actually worked it would be great but all I ever get is the rainbow spin wheel. Nothing ever loads. Cancelling my subscription as a result. It's 2017 how come every other major app developer can get a usable app but not TEN????
Chromecast cast is here I'm a happy camper! Now the only thing that would make this better is to be able to queue up a few shows like if you use Chromecast on YouTube! Thank you
App just suxs why for the love of god can't they get this right? After all I'm paying a subcription fee to watch vids that buffer and fail!!!
It's honestly not bad of an app. But there are a few things that need work. There needs to be a way to customize notifications - or at least turn them off. Thankfully I can do that in Android - but it should be an option in the app. The actual service on the other hand - I can't see myself paying for. Sure, there are a LOT of options - but the ones I want are limited. World Challenge, V8 Supercars, BTCC, DTM - all races cut short. You don't miss the finish or anything, but laps are randomly missing from the middle of the race. If I'm paying for a service to watch some races - I want to watch the full race. It's a great start, really - but that's the kind of stuff that needs to be fixed before I'm willing to fork over money for it.
Free live race. While in app, get sent to web page telling me to get the app. If broadcasting a free live race is meant to entice me into seeing how good Motortrend OnDemand is, then it has failed horribly. Terrible app.
The shows are great, the app itself needs better coding. Its very glitchy! It wont load episodes at times
It's useless unless u like 1 to 2 min videos then it's pointless I tryed to subscribe to it an test it out for 30 day trial thing before I pay $4.99 a month for it but everytime I see something I like when I click on it it keeps taking me to the subscription page so I keep subscribing but never plays a thing so I'm glad I didn't pay $4.99 but it would be a good app if I could do something
Great content. Decent app for playback. Still has teething issues with loading the app and the videos. The Cast feature is working but still needs a bit more polish. Getting there!
Crashes when I try to play any video. Was working fine a few days ago. Using a Moto X pure edition
It's a freaking joke. I pay for 2 subscriptions per month and they are paid for now and the app says I don't have an active subscription, it a bunch of crap.
Huge fan of Roadkill and I love the concept of this app, but this app sucks! I have a 1 year subscription and this app repeatedly asks me to subscribe without allowing me to watch any video! PLEASE FIX THIS!!!! Will give 5 stars if it works!
I love vintage racing and they have more of it than anyone else. Most of the Duke Video archive seems to be available. The amount of content is incredible. I hope they add Super GT, JGTC and CART at some point.
It is horribly slow at everything. Once it actually fires up it's ok but heaven forbid you want to Chromecast more than one episode
Glad to have the chromecast support finally, but the app still needs quite a bit of work videos not loading, no queue, and video glitches at times.
I'm finally happy that Motortrend listened to their audience and added chromecast support! I have been waiting for this and can now give a review. Great app with lots of good content. Again, thank you for listening.
INSTANT force close on Nexus device once video has stopped loading and is about to play
Thank you for finally getting Chromecast. Now when is it going to work properly? Force closes every time, puts MTOD in boot loop. Does connect to CC but has never casted video, only splash page. PLEASE FIX THIS!
Content is great but whatever video player they use can never watch 1080 or 720 on a mobile device and sometimes the episodes wont load at all love the content just wish they would use our subscription money to better the experience
This app is Roadkill. Chromecast ready????? A seven minute video takes 27 minutes to get going. I'm on the verge of cancelling my subscription. TEN.. you really need to get with the times in this digital age.
Since the Chromecast update it doesn't work at all, even locally on the device. Videos just sit there trying to load without success.
Pretty clunky. Casting doesn't work for me, no audio
i would love to be able to watch great content well worth the price of subscription IF IT WORKED nothing will load I've tried reinstalling app but still WONT LOAD ANYTHING
Its a good app and i like the shows on it but i have a problem where the video is playing but the picture is frozen i pause it then press play ad it works again and sometimes it goes in slow motion and i have to force close the app and restart it
Please fix your video player.... i cannot get through an e episode without the video player being messed up.
The audio on Chromecast is murder. Cool that I can cast but man alive my ears are on fire.
As promised I came back as a subscriber now that there is Chromecast support. Great app.
Constant crash-restart loop when trying to load videos
Don't know why everybody is complaining about Chromecast it's one thing, would you rather not be able to see all the great content
Instantly crashes when loading a video. Threw $5 away.
The app doesn't play videos. Regardless of device or bandwidth. This might be the worst app on Android.

Wow, so much potential here I was really upset. They are using a weird player, so no Chromecast support which killed this app for me and the service. I don't want to watch this on my 4" phone screen. EDIT: 5 Stars now. The Chromecast support just got added and it's buggy to say the least. However these guys listened to the customer and got us Chromecast support. I know they will get the code working better as time goes on. Kick ass to get Chromecast added! Thanks MT
