There are some things that we intentionally display differently to players (e.g. we don't show them Reveal buttons, or unrevealed content, or GM directions, etc). But those are all things that are working as intended.
The labels in the player view are not as complete as the labels in the GM view. Maybe 10 lists of info showing regardless of what I reveal. For instance if I organize my story under "story" since that doesnt show up in the player view, only "Source" shows up as viewable. I then have to organize my GM content by the players available lists of viewable items. A fact I did not realize until I had done the work and then bought the players license. Since I can't just copy and paste topics between story and source the work now has to be redone.

For scenarios where real-time updates are needed, we recommend using the "Player View" feature in the GM edition of the product. It allows you to use a second display (such as a monitor or TV) at your table to show an instantly updated view to your players.

If you play remotely, other users have had success using screen-sharing apps such as Skype and JoinMe to share this view to remote players.
This is a deal breaker for me as it was not clearly stated at purchase that real time updating was not available for online gaming. Our games are remote for at least one of our group at any one time. Fuzzy TV view on a camera, mmmm not so much. Sorry guys, but keep up the good work.
