But there are some annoyances that lowers the rating.
1. SS keeps getting a different IP every time it restarts. This is a major annoyance because it means I cannot set an URL on my iPhone, save it to the home screen and use it. There should be an option to use a static IP.
Also I'm spoiled by the video player on my JB ATV. e.g. I wish SS would have an option to not show watched shows, be able to resume paused videos across application switches and show meta and IMDB type information about the video files.
Finally, the support absolutely stinks. The only response I got had to do with making my payment and obtaining the license. My other attempts to get tech support has never been answered.
So, it does what it says although minmally but there is a lot of room for improvements in features but especially in support.

Yes I have been checking my junk mail daily but so far no response. I am sure you understand my frustration with this product and the service at this point and yes $19.00 isn't a hug he amount of money but I would love to have it back!! If there is a problem with you getting my email I did get a screen pop up on your website saying the message had been sent. Here is my order id order id: PAG131231-8686-45128. A refund via paypal would be much appreciated.
I have to tell you I'm feeling really ripped off right about now.

But I am extremely sorry for the inconvenience, both with the problem you are having registering the product that you paid for and with the fact that you didn’t receive my response. I can absolutely understand why you would be frustrated!
If you would like a refund I would be happy to do so. But if you don't mind I am going to try to reach out to you today via the phone number you provided when you made your purchase.

I am not sure what happened to the first requests for assistance but feel sure it was not something the dev should be judged on. After all he went the extra step to be sure his product was operational and I thank him for his time and attention. I will post back after I have had a chance to actually use the product for a while. Again thank you developer!
