Great to see the rewind feature added. Any chance you could make the pause, rewind and play icons bigger. Maybe place them above the time line would provide the room to do this. Recent bug of not being able to connect to the server at start up seems to have been fixed.

No Android TV support for NVIDIA shield tv etc. Chrome cast doesn't work for me on this app. TV just shows light box ready to cast then after maybe 15 seconds I get sound and no video. Then locks up my TV screen and I have to reboot. YouTube is seamless to cast. Really needs a dedicated android tv app. .

Hiya. I have had this app for a while and it's been a very good consistent app, but recently the video started flickering on off on off, normal HD picture to black screen about 8 times per second. Sound stays normal and none of my other video playing apps have this issue. Hopefully you figure out what the issue is or if it's to do with my phone. J7 Prime. Thanks

Since version 2.0 of the app, Lightbox only keeps getting better with every update...sure in it's early days there was lots of problems but that was a long time ago, I use it on the Samsung Galaxy S7, Samsung tablets and Chromecast and find it works fantastically well. When ever I've struck problems in the past I find the help desk and the developers very helpful and issues get resolved quickly.

Aggghh freezes constantly!!Then have to close and restart.. only to freeze again!! Super super CONSISTENTLY annoying..I'm only persevering this time because of the quality show I'm totally into. When done..I'm done with lightbox.

Needs updates. Firstly app is not available on android tv box. Really annoying when my most used apps kodi and netflex are a click away on the nvidia shield while this requires the inferior casting option.

Chromecast is still buggy. It wont drop the chromecast connection when you have finished watching. Every other Chromecast app works perfectly. No support for Android tv !! Why not?

F70%
by F####:

Chromecast support barely works: when stopping casting often the app on the Chromecast doesn't terminate and the only way to kill it is via the Google home app. Forces you to hold your phone sideways when casting.

Cannot watch anything on this app. Picture freezes after a second of play while audio continues. I've tried everything to fix it and it's not my internet speed.

Works okay, but current version seems to be stuck in landscape mode for some reason, even though my phone is locked to portrait mode, it will rotate the screen

Good app. But I had been watching The Strain seasons 1 and 2. But the series has a 3rd and a 4th season why has this not been updated?

UI is a bit no frills and not particularly snappy, but the playback works well and there is some good content. Would love offline caching so I can watch on the train.

I complained a couple of years ago about this app frequently not working on my Asus Zenpad. Each time it reported a 'server error'. Many other people had had the same complaint. Lightbox replied that I should empty the cache. But why should I have to? After two years, they've had more than enough time to sort their code out. Right now I'm have the problem again. I have rebooted several times and also cleared the cache. For what it's worth, I never have this error with my Nexus 5X phone.

Often buffers multiple times during episodes. Common issue with every one I know who uses it. Would like subtitles.

No Android TV app and constant errors when trying to cast to built in chromecast for Android TV so this app it pretty much useless for me. Works fine playing on my Android phone so 2 stars. Let me know when an official Android TV is going to be released!

For some reason this has not been working well for weeks now. Asks if I'm still watching & when I say yes it skips an episode then times out and asks again and skips another episode... finally it will start playing again but way past my last point and then if I try to skip back the whole thing crashes and I have to reboot.

When streaming to my chromecast, the app has constant buffering issues. I know it's not my setup as Netflix, Quickflix, Tubi and Viewster all work perfectly without the buffering.
