1. By the time I can find even 1 show to watch without premium, I am already too fed up with all the shows I can't watch anymore! It's become a glorified watchlist without the 'watch'.
2. Giving me a black screen with the word 'advertisement' flickering in the left hand corner instead of an actual ad.
3. However, the apps tend to not work and gives you a black screen when trying to view off-line.
4. Doing some research, this appears to have been an ongoing problem since 2018 as well as many reviews here with the same complaint as well as complaints about this problem falling on deaf ears.I used to love VRV.
5. I check my other apps; YouTube, Netflix, Twitter... yeah, works great, content loads quickly, no issue, but VRV? No dice.
6. The word flashes randomly in the top left while the rest of the screen is black.
7. The audio still plays for a few seconds and then stops, all while having a black screen.
8. Would recommend to friends if I had any.I have tried to load this app periodically over the last year, maybe a couple dozen times, and it immediately tells me it can't connect over and over as if I have no internet connection.
9. Also sometimes when there is a lot of subtitles in a scene they will cut off an not come back until you re-enter the episode and skip the scene.The anime is good, but there's something wrong with the ads.
10. After the audio stops, on the top left corner it says Advertisement underlined.
11. The app constantly needs to buffer videos, causing the videos to pause multiple times in an episode, often with less than a minute between buffers.
