“I really dislike that you can not turn off auto previews completely. I no longer go to read descriptions of movies or shows because of the auto previews. Which means, if I don’t already know about it, or the picture doesn’t look Interesting, I skip it.”

“Right now I have one major problem with the app. It automatically plays the next suggestion once the end credits is reached, with no way to skip it. Some movies still have content even in the end title, and yet others I would like to hear the end title music sometimes. Please give a provision to skip the autoplay of next suggestion or time it to the actual end of the movie.”

“Autoplay is annoying and can’t be disabled. Makes it frustrating when you just want to find something to watch.”
