Hi, thanks for sharing your experience—we understand how frustrating buffering can be, especially when comparing different app versions.
Regarding the comparison between version 1.6.3 (CatchOn) and 2.0.11 (MOA), there are a few important points to clarify:
-
Different App Architecture
The MOA version is built on a newer framework with additional features and security layers. Because of this, it may behave differently compared to older versions, even on identical devices. -
Server Routing & Load Balancing
While it may seem like both apps connect to the same servers, newer versions can use updated routing, CDN paths, or streaming protocols. This can sometimes result in different performance depending on location, ISP, or network conditions. -
Device Resource Usage
The MOA app includes enhanced UI and backend processes which may use more system resources. On some devices, especially Firestick environments, this can occasionally lead to buffering if the system cache or background processes are not optimized. -
Ongoing Optimization
Our development team is actively working on improving performance and stability in the MOA app. Updates are being rolled out progressively to address issues like buffering and playback consistency.
We appreciate your detailed comparison—it’s actually very helpful for our team. If possible, please share specific channels or content where buffering occurs so we can investigate further.
Thanks for your patience while we continue improving the experience.
