The only problems I had with this app was for the fact the picture would often go all out of focus and foggy looking when ever I watched it. I redownload the app, which worked for the most part before doing it again some odd days later. The second problem would have to be it takes alot of data from your phone so it causes the show to buffer a bit. Otherwise other than that, I'd say it's a pretty good app.

I seem to watch more commercials and I watched show. On my Samsung TV if I don't hit exit and try to get back in the commercial freezes and shows the picture but continues to play the TV show all the way to the end with a commercial frozen on the screen. When I exit and go back into the show more commercials. I literally will watch 3 or 4 sets of commercials before I get to see the next one part of the show and I go through that every set of commercials. Something is wrong with the app

Wont open. When I click on it it brings up a screen that saya freeform with an animation and then fades out then freeform comes back with the animation. It does this over and over again and never opens the app. This is the first time I downloaded the app so I uninstalled and tried again. Same problem. Wont work. Updated- left it open for several minutes and it finally opened to the app.

Stupid waste of time. Don't bother. Locks you out after a couple episodes for no apparent reason? Not even a subscription option, just apparently you have to have a tv provider. Actually stopped working *while* I was in the middle of an episode. Starting watching, left the app briefly, and now I'm locked out. I'll stick with the viewing platforms that work and make sense.

I use this app on a Sony TV and I'm getting a "Shop" popup in the middle of my screen. I'm on a TV .. I have no way of removing that ad since I can't get the 'X' in the corner. Is this for real ??!!?? Edit - I reached out to support already and they didn't even read my email, but instead sending a generic form email asking me for error codes and what TV provider I use. At last I checked, a store pop-up within an app has nothing to do with any error codes. And since it's an internet thing, my TV provider means nothing. I asked why they didn't actually read my initial support email ... I've yet to hear back from them now. Gotta love the response to this staying to contact them and when I do, I get garbage back. Worthless support.

I used to love this app. but for some reason it won't even let me watch any movies live or regular shows live. Also when I go to sign in to watch something it keeps saying " automatically signed " but then goes back to the screen asking for the cable company that I'm using. I use Xfinity and it's on that screen but the app. still won't load it correctly! This app. needs to be totally fixed or you will lose a lot of customers like me!

So far app works well. Only used for about two episodes so far. Amount of ads versus watched TV show is comparable to regular cable so extremely reasonable. One thing to note, I lost wifi connection and had to get reconnected mid advertisement. I noticed I had like 20 seconds left of ads but when it restarted after reconnecting it was back to like a minute twenty. Possibly something there to improve for customer experience ther. I haven't had any buffering issues as of yet as said by others.

App doesn't work at all. Couldn't even sign up (it buffered). I searched for show(s) I've been wanting to watch, and there were no results, whatsoever. The app is constantly, repeatedly saying, "error couldn't connect to server," "go to WiFi settings," and "retry." (My wifi is working well enough). Clicked on "help," and that page is blank. I sent an email, telling them about how useless this app is for me to be able to use; I'll be receiving a response within 1-3 business days.

I've been using this app on my firestick for months now. I got the email about removing the reward points you use in order to watch shows without ads. I've saved up 1,553 points so I could eventually watch a series I'm interested in. Since they were removing it, I figured I'd go ahead and spend them on that series. Even though it says it's available until the 28th, it's no longer available for me to use my points. The ads are repetitive, and so frequent. I will not be using this app anymore.

Both this app and the ABC app are complete trash. They expect you to recast to your screen after every single episode. To make matters worse, after the cast cuts out when the 1st episode you watched ends, the stream won't load onto the screen, it'll act like it's loading then goes back to the Freeform/ABC title screen. I've complained about this last year and you still fail to fix it. It's not my screen as every other existing streaming app works flawlessly on it.

I had such a horrible time trying to watch one movie on demand connected to my Chromecast. I got to the first ad break and it stopped playing. I stopped the casting and restarted where I left off, got to the next ad break, and it did it again, at every ad break. I restarted my phone, reset my network settings, everything I could think of. The app isn't due for an update. It took nearly double the amount of time it should to watch one movie. This was absolutely horrible.

I absolutely detest apps that play add every 2 seconds! Why is that? So, a timer shows up on the screen during the ads...fine...2 minutes. fine. Once the timer has expired, it shows a split second if the movie and flips BACK to freaking ads! You can't be serious. Idk if this is a glitch, but it sucks. It will probably be deleted once I finish this specific movie I was looking for.

It seems to be the only streaming network with Hunger Games, so I gave it a try, but had to give up. Commercial breaks every five minutes at blaring volume, with the same two ads every time. I understand ads help provide a "free" service (logging in via my cable subscription) but this is not worth it; I'll just pay to rent the movie. Also, missing closed captions on chromecast and seems to be at a low framerate, though it is HD. Basically, don't waste your time with this app.

The ads need to be placed together at the begining of each episode rather than spaced throughout. The pause and go for the ads does not run smoothly, causing the video to randomly rewind or fast forward when the ads are finished, and then it won't let you rewind or fast forward to the appropriate time. It's absolutely infuriating, making the app practically unusable.

I have so many problems with this app. The connection is extremely buggy, it takes 10 minutes to start any show or movie, and I have to restart it about every 5 minutes. I have a galaxy s9, and I don't know if other phones have this same problem, but the app always forces shows into full screen which forces it into a resolution that makes anything I watch look like garbage. And then there are the ads. They last for a long time and there are so many of them.

I use the mobile app and Chromecast to watch on my TV. When I start watching a show from my phone before casting to the television, the ads play first of course. The problem is that I can't press the cast button during the ads, so I have to wait until the content begins. When I am able to press the cast button AFTER the show has started, the ads start over. So I have to watch the ads twice. UPDATE: I no longer have to watch the ads twice. 2nd Update: not working again..double the ads! Smh

Extremely buggy app. Take 5-10 minutes to get going, have to keep rebooting. It hangs when trying to verify with Xfinity, it hangs when try to chromecast. It freezes in the middle of shows. I love the shows I like to watch, but hate this tv app. My internet speed is 200 mb/sec, nope that's not it. All my other apps, Netflix, Disney+, ABC, NBC, etc. All works perfectly.

It works ok if I watch on my phone but that's not what i want to do! I want to cast it to my tv. Found a good series and it has been a horrible experience the entire time since I installed the app! I have to select each episode-no autoplay! It's been freezing up and greying out the cast button. My experience with this app has been terrible! I should've read the reviews first and i would've known not to waste my time with it. Do not tell me to call customer support. Just fix this app!!!

Horrible.... this app does not work... I can see all the shows but any time I try to stream on my phone it pulls up the video and just buffers. It never plays the video, just buffers until the app crashes. I have reinstalled it twice and restarted my phone several time. I've tried it both on and off the wifi. None of the other streaming apps have ever given me trouble, only this one.

my experience with this app has been good sometimes and very annoying sometimes. I use alot of different TV stations apps to keep up with my shows. I was also asked if it streams in English. yes. but it may also stream other languages. I just havent checked.. with the freeform app, i can have great service and it still constantly is stopping for loading then just never loads. when I click out and go to another. it streams just fine. but other than that. it's great
