Stan‪.‬ 4+

Some things could make this a whole lot better

The content on this service is really good, it makes living in Australia a bit better so we can watch some of those shows that Netflix doesn’t want to supply for us.
However, reading other people’s reviews I have to agree with them - the sound cutting out is easily the most annoying thing aBout this app. At first I just thought it was something wrong with my phone, or the program I was watching but after using different headphones and different devices, it happens with everything. I’ve also found subtitles going out of sync and not fixing themselves, and only as I was rewinding the episodes to try and get it back in order I realised the subtitles were out was because it skipped a whole section of the show!
I would also like to see a rating service for the shows and reviews etc to help with making decisions on what to watch

Love it, but…

I love the content on Stan and enjoy the general look of it too but it would be helpful if you added a few thing and did some touch up work on the rest. One thing I suggest is if you made a way to request movies and tv shows either in the app or attach a link in the setting the can take us to a place we can request new content. Second, it would be greatly appreciated if you could please have some more personal touches to individual profiles such as better profile images or personal 4 digit passwords or even being able to shoes between a dark theme or a light theme. Another thing is the slightly inconvenient way you have to go about things if you want to change up your profile, if that could be made easier with better access it would certain help the app run smoother. Also I feel I’m not really getting content that’s relevant to me and as such it takes awhile to find shows I actually enjoy, don’t get me wrong I know there are plenty of shows I do enjoy on there but the fact of the matter is that it’s often hard to find them. Last but not least, shows won’t play if my mobile device is connected to a HDMY, in fact it won’t even load. This is really annoying when your staying in a motel and brought along your HDMY cable in hopes to be able to watch your favourite films on the tv instead of your phone. Thanks for everything else

Great app, looking forward to more enhancements.

I really love Stan, it’s probably the streaming service I use the most. I use it on my Apple TV 4K and my iPad, and I really appreciate how Stan has lent in to using standard iOS features and conventions like playback controls. It makes it easier for me to focus on the content I want to watch rather than how the app works. However, I’d love to see some enhancements to make my life a bit easier using the app.

I’d love to see Stan support either better profile pictures - it’s hard to tell whose account it is based on just the colour smiley, or ideally support the native, system-wide tvOS user switching functionally. I’d really appreciate native integration because it makes it so much easier to explain to older relatives how to change their account when every app isn’t relying on their own approach to user switching.

Also, would be great to see Picture in Picture work on tvOS like it does on the iPad. Sometimes you want to watch the end of a show while browsing for something else to watch either in the Stan app or another app. Hopefully you consider adding this to a future release.
