My only complaint with the service is that you cannot use captions when you filter. We have captions run on everything we watch, but that's not an option with VidAngel.
I, for one, despise gratuitous nudity and sex scenes (i.e., soft porn) that add no value to the stuff I like to watch. Take Altered Carbon, for instance.
I don't have VidAngel, but I am grateful it exists.

1) You can't watch any 4k movies you purchased with it (their server is BluRay quality and not 4k.)
2) Sometimes when you stop a movie and come back to it later, it doesn't work.
3) The fast-forward option is frustrating with the firestick. I have to keep clicking it vs holding it down for a fastforward.
Still, a great option to utilize. Especially if you don't want to subject your kids to the filth of this world!

The court found against them with giant fines, which VidAngel has paid or negotiated away. For example, they entered into an agreement with Disney Studios to stop trying to find a way to edit and stream any of their properties.
They have a new model now. You have a streaming service that you are paying for. You subscribe to VidAngel which runs what you stream through their filters (that you select).
If I'm getting any of this wrong, please set me straight.

Pros
(a) VERY detailed control of what you watch - It divides potentially objectionable material into very fine categories that you can control. This is a HUGE plus as everyone has their own personal thresholds of what they find objectionable. For example, instead of simply filtering out "sex" or "violence"- they spell out in every show exactly what types of instances occur, and you pick what you want to see. You can also set defaults, so that you don't have to do so for each show, and only adjust shows that you feel should be handled differently.
It allowed me comfort to show Game of Thrones at a level that I felt was appropriate. The omissions are seamless - and usually go unnoticed.
My criticsms -
(a) it doesn't have 4k (only 1080p) - if it had that to me it's a no brainer.
(b) price - $10/mo is reasonable for what they are offering IMHO, however on top of regular subscription fees it's not something that I want to pay. Easier just to only show material without concern (not as many "must see" shows like Game of Thrones). The $5 sale is much more paletable. In addition, in the past they had a pay what you want promotion.
Social Commentary - I respect the directors rights to have their works of art seen as they intended. However, in the same way that their vision expects a certain aspect ratio (e.g. movie theater widescreen) and audio and picture quality. However, this doesn't forbid you from watching it on your 5" phone screen or old TV set. Similarly, their vision doesn't require you to not talk on the phone, or even skip parts if you have to go to bathroom or other need. i.e. you have the choice to watch it as the director intended to get the full effect or not. Their vision doesn't preclude you from watching it how you choose to watch it. Likewise, you should be able to skip parts that you find objectionable.
I love that I can create custom filters and profiles for shows and movies for my kids to view....pretty sure it's just a comment from a vidangel user.
