monetization
71 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

99%
Users criticize the monetization approach for its excessive, repetitive, and lengthy ads, which significantly disrupt the viewing experience with frequent interruptions, crashes, and glitches. Many find the ad frequency unreasonable and intrusive, especially during short videos or live streams, leading to frustration and poor usability. While advertising is understood as necessary for a free app, the current implementation is seen as overbearing and detrimental to overall enjoyment.
- “You have to watch 30 seconds of ads for a 10 second clip normally, and often the ads repeat, making it a minute.”
- “From the constant advertisements that reset and you have to watch again if you switch out of the app and back, to the clunky user experience design.”
- “Ads relentless, overbearing, constant, and loud, making the whole experience frustrating.”
stability

The app suffers from frequent stability issues, including constant freezing, crashing, and glitches across multiple devices and platforms, particularly during live streaming and fantasy league features. These bugs severely disrupt user experience, with some updates worsening performance and causing compatibility problems such as broken Chromecast support. Overall, stability remains a critical concern that undermines the app’s usability.
- “Live stream freezes constantly and the fantasy surfing has features in the Apple version that are not in the Android version.”
- “I have installed on 3 phones and 1 tablet connected to fiber optic internet and full-strength 4G and be stuffed if I can stream anything for more than 15 blurry seconds then the app freezes and I have to reboot it.”
- “Only downside is when watching the live stream comps, when the Samsung phone advert comes on it freezes the app and causes havoc with my phone too. It happens at exactly the same frame of the advert, to the point when it starts I close the app and restart when I think it's finished.”

- “The app has a really good performance, UX, and UI.”
- “The customer journey, the performance, etc. I really don't understand why a company like WSL can't improve their app.”

grinding

100%
Users find the grinding experience tedious and frustrating due to interface changes, such as the removal of a "show all results" toggle and clunky navigation that often leads to unintended page jumps, making repetitive tasks more cumbersome.
story

The story aspect is marred by a confusing bug on Android devices, where scrolling through a story unexpectedly redirects users to an Instagram link despite no visible links being nearby. This issue disrupts the narrative flow and user experience.
