I use Fantastic now mostly. It pretty much the equivalent of Exodus and Genesis. Those are really all you need until one gets shutdown and then they just reappear under a new name, but it’s all essentially the same they just have more streams and higher quality than the ones they stop updating.
You can try some of these:

As far as the wife and even saving yourself time, it’s easier if you declutter the main screen. You really only need the Addons, Favorites and Settings tabs. The Weather, Radio, Picture, etc can all be eliminated by going into Settings and disabling them on the Home Layout. I change the skin to Amber. It’s a more visually appealing background.
Also, save some time if she or you have a list of favorite shows/movies or ones you anticipate watching and add them to Favorites. After you search for them once through Fantastic/Exodus and find the particular show/ movie, click the button that looks like 3 lines and scroll down to add to Favorites. Now all you have to do is click Favorites and choose whatever you want to watch.
You can play around with the particular addons once you feel comfortable to where you can turn off the streams that ask for Captcha and lower the search time (after 20 seconds you’ve usually found the highest quality streams from the most reliable sources). It’s usually under the Tools section if you scroll down after opening the add-on.
Seems like a lot of info but the more you get comfortable with it it becomes like scrolling through a cable guide to find something.
