Description

I’ve been using The CW app for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you stream all the latest episodes from The CW network, plus movies, sports, and full series. There’s a ton of good stuff on there – I’ve been catching up on shows like All American and Sullivan’s Crossing, and the movie selection is growing all the time.

The app’s got this really cool CHANNELS feature where you can just kick back and watch hours of entertainment, from comedies to thrillers to cooking shows. It’s all streaming 24/7 for free, which is sweet. The live sports are a nice bonus too – you can watch NASCAR races and WWE NXT.

Look, if you’re a fan of The CW or just want a ton of free TV and movies at your fingertips, you’ll probably dig this app. It’s not perfect – the interface can be a bit clunky at times and the ads can get annoying. But overall it does the job and it’s worth checking out.

Editor Opinion

So here's my take on The CW app. I've tried a bunch of entertainment streaming apps and this one's pretty solid. The selection of shows, movies, and live sports is really impressive for a free app. And the CHANNELS feature is super convenient when you just want to veg out and watch something. But it's not without its issues - the interface could use some work and the ads can get old fast if you don't pay. Still, if you're a CW fan or just want a ton of free content, this is definitely worth downloading.

It honestly doesn't work half the time. I thought by the time the new fall line up came out they would have fixed it from the end of the last...

Horrifying since they redid their application. ALWAYS cuts off while watching the episode. You never get to finish your episode now, but you can watch as many commercials as you...

Works great for streaming. Absolutely exasperating to find where you left off if you can't watch something in one sitting. Should be able to resume where you paused/stopped, without having...
