There's no list of all content you can watch, just categories that change each day.

It doesn't remember what you've watched or remember where you were if you closed a video halfway through.

The only way to keep track of videos or series you want to watch is by adding them to your favourites but unless it's a series, you can't remove single videos from your favourites after adding them (in the android app, Roku, and their website).

Thumbnails for most videos don't even load in the Roku app and Android app.

I've never seen a UI so unusable before. Free pirate streaming sites online have more logical UI.

At $9.99 CAD/month, what gives?

WarhammerTV is (a) cheap and (b) not GW’s main product.

The 9.99CAD is for WarhammerTV & Warhammer Vault & the exclusive miniature & unlimited army lists in the AoS/40k apps & a discount on merch.

The audience (i.e. people paying that money) is tiny compared to, say, Netflix.

So it isn’t bringing in a lot of money so GW isn’t motivated to spend a lot of money on making the app to view videos actually good.

They are a miniatures company who make most of their money from miniatures. They are keeping their focus there and most diversification is, I guess, usually one guy’s pet project rather than a major business move.

They cared enough to hire professional animation studios to produce several animated series with multiple episodes each so I'm having a hard time with the idea that WarhammerTV is just some guy's pet project.

If you're putting all this effort and money into several series and charging a subscription fee per month, the bare minimum of being able to discover the content and come back to it later is expected. Video streaming has been around for over a decade so I'm not asking them to reinvent the wheel. 🙃
