BlazeTV: Pro-America 9+

Update at bottom of the review.

First off the collection of hosts on this platform is great and still growing. I am very happy with the content. The app, however, is very unpleasant and makes it hard to enjoy the shows. The problems with the app: • The app must be running in the foreground for it to work. You cannot listen to the audio only. •There is a 15 second rewind button but no button to skip ahead. The last app had this feature, I don’t understand the downgrade. •Whenever I click resume on a show, it plays the oldest video that was not finished, not the most recent. •Although more stable than the old app, it still crashes. •It has signed me out twice now for no reason. The main problem I have is that I paid for the subscription when a lot of these shows are free. I want to support good content. But please make the proper changes to the app so it isn’t a hassle to listen.

UPDATE: They just recently added a button to skip ahead 15 seconds. The app works in the background as a media player now. The app hasn’t crashed or signed me out in a very long time. This app has progressed leaps and bounds since my last review. It is now an overall user friendly app with the same great content. The only thing that needs to be worked on is the continue watching section. It still does not have my most recently watched shows consistently. Other than that, well done on the upgrades.

Content unbeatable! Please allow background streaming.

Unmatched content! Excellent thought provoking shows!! Absolutely faithful and true conservative thinkers seeking to call a country back to the constitution!! But . For the love of all who will listen. Please allow background streaming!
I would listen to several shows beyond my always Steve Deace, Nate Madden, Jon Miller, Michele Malkin, etc. I cannot stress enough how great the content available here is though! Our country needs this everyday and everywhere! Dont let this be a stumbling block to maintaining subscriptions. My job allows online listening for several hours a day but my unlimited data plan goes into slow mo data because of the overload of content by six days into the month! I would relish taking in more Levin , Kibbe, Ally , etc. but hereas a farmer in rural flyover country, wifi is not an option! We are conservatives and would prefer not to spend our future on launching our own satellite service provider to keep up with the content when background streaming would fix it! Thanks though again for the strong voice of liberty resounding on this platform. May God Bless your endeavor to keep before the people what it is that binds us together as a republic - that which our founders envisioned! Liberty and Justice for all

Blind, Voice Over user

OK, I’ve had a couple weeks to try out the Blaze TV app. Still has various areas that are inaccessible to me as a blind user.
“Menu“; When I open this, the first couple items are just labeled‘ button‘. The rest of it appears to be my account related. There doesn’t appear to be anything specifically labeled for closing the menu.
“Search field“; although the search field is accessible, I have yet to have it yield any results. Once I tap “search“, The only things showing on the page there after our, “back“, “search field“, “clear search“, “shows“, and “specials“. Now, back to the main page. When I tap on “shows“, and“Specials“, again, totally inaccessible. I can go in and back out, but nothing else. The only area that yields any other result(Not including the live event buttons), is the “new“ button. In here, I find the list of current and upcoming programs. When I tap on one of these, most of the time it opens a video that automatically switches to“Profile view“. All good so far. However, there are no controls whatsoever. No pause, skip ahead, rewind etc. and, if I get a phone call or need to interrupt it in anyway, the video does not restart and I have no way of restarting it, but to close the entire app and reopen it. When I do, I need to start the video from the beginning.
Sorry for the long detailed review but, I really didn’t have any other place to submit my feedback, And experience.
