Lately, I’ve noticed the polish starting to wear off on the iOS client. Three odd bugs:

  1. The timecodes jiggle every second. Nothing fixes this
  2. The controls disappear periodically; tapping the screen does nothing. It will either be all controls or a subset.
  3. The controls don’t auto-dismiss

These are the kinds of fit-and-finish bugs use of ClaudeCode and other vibecoding practices introduces.

What is going on?

And seek back and forward time (10 sec and 30 sec) disappeared on iPhone and iPad, Live TV won’t start or freezes… this app gets worse with every release
