It really is as bad as they say it is

I couldnt believe big-shot HBO would allow an app to be released that was as inadequate and buggy as these reviews claim HBO Now to be, so I tried it.
Believe the reviews. This app will have you pulling your hair out before you get through the first overlong promotional video you will be forced to watch.
If you plan to cast your shows, get a magnifying glass to help accurately negotiate the microscopic controls or you may end up watching that promo video several times before getting to your program.
