Great review, thanks.

I agree that they should add an entertainment only plan (no sports) same as other streaming platforms, if I remember correctly this was an option 1 or 2 years ago but it's gone and I think the Ramadan offer was a test to see how it goes as it was an entertainment only pass.

Specially given that some people (including me) have the beIN satellite subscription for sports and would just like the movies/TV shows content for less price!

Also, their Chromecast app is very bad, it lags, it doesn't make the quality better when choosing "best" instead it makes it worse!!! I figured that leaving it at "auto" makes the quality HD or ok to watch I think! I contacted them many times and their "solution" was that I cast from my mobile device to the TV!!!!! That was very surprising knowing that TOD is one of the priciest streaming platforms in MENA and all the other apps I have on Chromecast work just fine... can't imagine how bad it would be watching live sport events, and that was after their big update in March, I wonder how was it like before that!?

So, I think they should fix these small problems as they shouldn't exist on a platform of this scale then think about more/better plans now that the competition is stronger with Yango Play and others coming into it.

Sorry for the long comment, just wanted to share my opinion as I found this article talks about what I was thinking.

All the best.
