Giant Bomb Video Buddy Customer Insights

1. Only complaint is that after the recent update, whenever I cast to my Chromecast, I get a weird Windows-like scrollbar at the bottom of the screen that doesn't go away.Seamlessly plays all giant bomb video content in your phone or tablet.

2. Video will be fine for a good portion and then the screen will freeze while the audio keeps going.Definitely the best Giant Bomb app on the market (and I've bought the DLC) but really needs the ability to notify of new videos.

3. I'll check back later and if that's fixed it gets 5 stars.This used to be an amazing app - really, it was the best way to watch videos from the site on mobile - but now it crashes any time I try to cast videos to my Chromecast.

4. I manually check the app daily which is no big deal but being notified about new Quick Looks or Premium videos would be awesome.My Nexus 7 crashes every time I try to connect via Chromecast.

5. When a video I've been Chromecasting has ended and I use the back arrow to choose another video, when I tap to play the new video I've chosen it reverts back to the video that just ended.

6. Having access to premium content is amazing and Chromecast support is huge.

7. Needs a fix..App itself seems good but it crashes every time I try to cast to my Chromecast Ultra.

8. Great stuff!This is a much better way to watch GB videos than wrassling with their site.

9. I'm not really trying to watch these long GB videos on my phone.

10. I have had an issue a few times: my phone battery died while watching a video.

11. Unfortunately based on the reviews it has been this way for months so I'm not feeling great about it getting fixed.
