There are five tabs along the bottom of this app. The Shows, Videos, Schedule, and the Artifacts tabs are all accessible. The first tab is the Home tab and this is not very friendly. It is very much like Crackle Home tab. It is readable but it appears to be refreshing every 1-2 seconds and cause it to be very irratic when trying to manuever on the Home tab. Basically, making the Home tab completely inaccessible. The Home tab is not the main part of this app so it still works great for watching videos, checking for shows, and checking schedules. The Artifact tab is a trivia game for an assortment of facts. For those history buggs you should check this out. It's FREE and you have nothing to lose.
