I can't log in, and they won't contact me to fix the problem. I have tried several times. It's a shame.

This app quit working about a month or so back. I can no longer log into my subscription even though Criterion confirmed I have an active subscription. I was told I must wait for an app update which does not seem to be forthcoming. I was happy for years but now feel I'm being duped.
Criterion is the worst streaming app
Genuinely non-functional, can't load any content on the app. Plus, why do you keep removing features? You used to be able to change the playback speed and now you can't? This service used to be the best of all streaming services, but not now!
Getting ready to cancel: it's been a month and the app is still unable to connect to Samsung TVs. The problem started suddenly when it just stopped working. they've asked for patience but after a month I think it is unreasonable to wait any longer for TV streaming app to... work on TV. I think the fact they've been getting nothing but 1 star for over a month and haven't made any comment is all you need to know. Too bad. I'm going to assume its because they are underfunded and incompetent.

Unusable for over a month, goodbye Criterion subscription. Not to mention the lack of content for Canadian subs, why charge full price for 1/3 the offerings?

Obviously my Samsung TV of almost 6 years of age is toooooo old electronically for Criterion. Changing my 5-star rating to 2. I'm a bit disappointed about this ongoing Samsung TV issue as a subscriber for 5+ years. 🙂 10/24/2026 ----- The best thing happened to me after December 2019 and one of the best ever happened, this app. Use your Samsung Smart TV for watching films. Gotta be 65"+. It's life. 8/11/2021

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
