I LOVE LOVE LOVE Shudder, in general, but these apps... *sigh* Poor design and organization and frustratingly slow/glitchy at times. I also hate that I can only rate movies on the phone app, not the TV where I predominantly watch my horror movies.

the message I'm getting is f off disabled girl you don't deserve to like horror. I have low vision I'm legally blind but have vision I went in knowing you don't have the script reader function and that was fine I just wanted to watch some horror because I'm a big horror fan. but the version for my phone doesn't even have a search function and I can't browse because the fonts are unreadable if you are visually impaired at least have a search function. but everything else seems like f the blind.

The content is fine. the app is terrible. can't log in on my TV, can't log in using the browser. it asks for a 6 digit number, and gives you 5 letters. getting someone to help is impossible. what a waste of money.
