While I love Kanopy this version of the App has problems. The last I checked, the videos will play fine at their regular resolution, HOWEVER the UI is like zoomed in where you only see the top left-ish say 60-70% of the screen. The last time I tried it on my FireTV with the version from the Amazon store, that displays normal. I JUST tried the regular "phone" Kanopy App and while the UI is made for phones, i can at least see everything I am suppose to. 3.0 was last updated in 2021 btw

I'm not even able to download the app for my Smart TV, even though this website states it has been "installed" (it has not!). On the TV, the app says "pending..." whatever that means. Have spent hours trying to download and use the app. Very frustrating!
