Pros and cons of PBS KIDS Video app for iPhone and iPad

PBS KIDS Video app good for

There is a bug that seems to persist. When the app is connected to an external Bluetooth speaker, the video will not go to full screen when tapped as usual. Is anyone else getting this issue?
We love this app but always have issues with the live tv part. It plays a few seconds then stops. Any advice? We are using net Nebraska
The Super Why videos do not have any audio past the intro song. Please fix my kids love this show! ***UPDATE! Developer responded and partially fixed the issue and is working on the rest! Thank you so much! Its nice to actually have developers resolve issues with apps!
As of 11pm central time on July 31st 2017, live tv hasnt worked at all in the PBS KIDS Video app, but it still works on the website. The pbs station that I have is tpt in Minneapolis Minnesota. Please can you fix it. I watch the live tv everyday and now I cant. Thanks.
I havent used the interface too much, but I have watched my children interact with this app and they are pleased. What can I say, the kids love it!
I have never had an issue with this app. Navigating the app is easy and there are a lot of videos (full episodes and clips) to choose from. I have never had an issue streaming videos while on wifi or on my LTE data plan. My family loves PBS kids!

Some bad moments

We love this app and use it daily. However lately it has been running quite slow. Edit: this app continues to get worse. Shows will constantly not load or stop in the middle.
This crap shows every single stupid annoying baby show it da world. I especially hate Thomas the ?
The Super Why videos do not have any audio past the intro song. Please fix my kids love this show!
You cant hear what the characters are saying but can hear the music.
My daughter loves this app but there needs to parental settings to lock the screen because she keeps clicking out of the app
Casting Live TV with chrome cast works as long as I remain with my phone on the app but as soon as I have it in the background and doing something else it pauses. Its unrealistic for me to sit with my phone actively on your app the whole time. Any fix for that?
