The design for this app is awful, I constantly have to sign in and verify my cable provider. If your using your computer at home it works fine but for an on-the-go quick episode this app is too much of a hassle. Customer support couldn't help me resolve the issues. I would rather pay a higher monthly subscription fee if they would deduct the network provider requirement.

It used to be possible to watch the older, pre-HD Simpsons seasons in their original 4:3 aspect ratio in this app, and to enable the commentary track. Ever since the Simpsons World branding was removed from this app, however, both options seem to have been removed as well, so the only way to access either is via the Simpsons World website on a PC. Since watching The Simpsons is pretty much the only thing I use the FXNOW app for, this is just plain unacceptable.

Would be nice if it was clarified that you have to hit the i (encosed in a circle) button at the top of the Simpsons page to get back to the old Simpsons world. New UI "every episode ever" section is lacking audio commentaries. Still enjoying the app, but wish the updates would've been more clear for existing users. EDIT: It seems like even this functionality has been removed. Will the commentaries/old UI be reinstated, or have they been permanently removed. Either way, these seem like changes that are at least worthy of a note in the change log, as it's clear you've changed far more than making our homescreen "more personalized and easier to navigate" Edit 2: Received generic reply email from FX that did not answer my questions, responding asking again, awaiting results.

Lacks basic features. You can't auto play episodes in a series, or create playlists. Browsing titles is awkward and you're not likely to find any new titles you didn't already know were there. App often bugs and refuses to play titles even with a valid provider and/or fx+ subscription. There are no settings options, preferences, or any other way to slightly customize the experience. terrible app.

App tells you there's free content, to just look for stuff 'without a lock icon'. This is more or less false, as the only things viewable without some form of purchase are 60 second trailers one can find anywhere online. Personally screened every show and a lot of movies, and couldn't watch a single one without purchase. The only free part of this app is the download, while 99.9% of real content is restricted. In my opinion, apps such as this should never be listed as 'free apps' in the store.

Downloaded app. Attempted to sign in with my satellite provider, Direct TV. Received an error message saying "You'll now manage your service with an AT&T Access ID. Click here to finish setting up your new Access ID, then come back and log in with that ID and Password." Clicked link and was sent to some random AT&T page that refused to load. Waited on it for 20 minutes. Started over. Same result. Yes, our internet connection is working. Yes, I restarted my phone and re-installed the app. No, the troubleshooting page had no useful information. Uninstalled app.

The FX+ app is a Beta version but they don't have any problem taking down your CC info. You have to log in to your cable provider, then log into the app, and from there everything is buggy and slow. I am literally unable to cancel my membership right now because nothing happens when I click the link. I initiated a live chat session, and the program crashed.

There really should be a "no stars" option. This is really the worst streaming app I've used by far,and I've used them all! It will not play an episode for more than 3 seconds without the screen freezing, but dialog continues. The best part: the preposterous overabundance of commercials you're forced to sit through are not only more than cable, but they play crystal clear, no freezes. This app is GARBAGE, and that's too nice a word for it! Uninstall!

I absolutely loved this app until yesterday. I watched it for a while yesterday afternoon then turned it off for a moment, after that it refused to work. Still gets to the internet provider screen and has a melt down. It just goes back to the internet providers page over and over again after the green checkmark. Really annoying. ***Update*** It corrected itself. I left it alone and watched HULU on my breaks instead. Today I tried again, it worked. Now I can watch my Simpsons.

I have just about every TV/video app that there is and this is the ONLY one that I have constant issues with. It's forever frozen or won't cast. It literally freezes my entire phone (brand new Note 9). And it's also the only app that makes me sign into my provider every time I use it, even when I'm at home. It's complete trash and the Simpsons is the only reason I ever mess with it.

Edit after response: contacting customer support is a joke. Clear cache, restart device, try incognito... None of those solutions work, but when I say that they just repeat the same prompt. Something is broken and it seems like they don't believe me. One star remains, potential paying subscriber lost. Original review: Plus system is awful. Apparently I don't have the right provider so I can't even pay you $6 a month for plus? I really don't know, considering the app let me pick my provider and sign in, then just bounced me back to the previous page over and over again with no explanation or way around it. I had to go to the FAQs and find an old post saying only Comcast and Cox can use it (I use a different company). I almost don't even want the service after such a poor experience.

Worst app ever! I use it with my Chromecast and it constantly freezes up on the "ready to cast" screen, loads episodes forever without ever playing, and has to be restarted multiple times to try and fix the issues. Come on dudes, fix this app please! Update June 3 2019: Please fix this app! It crashes every time I have it open on my Android.

It used to be okay when I first used it, now I can't even watch anything without the stupid "app unavailable" popup. I also see a lot of people have had terrible expieriences with this app. If you're going to make a streaming service, treat it as such and try to update often and not once every like 2 months. Not to mention that poor excuse of a troubleshooting page, nothing there even tries to address the problems people are having. Would not recommend downloading, stick with Netflix, Hulu, ect.

Simpsons World is stuck in portrait mode, asinine way to watch it. Disappointed. Chromecast support? Where is it? ABC has it. The app is slow and laggy, when watching a video the notification bar and on screen buttons don't disappear. EDIT: 6 Years later I redownloaded the FX app. Finally have Chromecast support! The app is no longer slow and laggy. However, SIMPSONS WORLD IS GONE! 3 stars.

This app is complete garbage. I logged in through the cable provider but the only way I could watch anything is if it was live (which didn't even load) or I had to buy FX+. Are you kidding me?! On top of that the app itself was constantly crashing and saying the servers were down, yet on PS Vue it worked fine (I also decided to watch the show during the free trial on there instead). Please don't tell me to look into the Troubleshooting section because I already did and that doesn't matter. I force closed, cleared the cache and the data, and I restarted my phone but nothing worked. Everyone wonders why people prefer Netflix over cable. Guess I'll just watch the show on Netflix in a year.

Really like FX and some of its shows, this app has had a lot of change since its first release. The app works great, but the one thing I don't understand and why I give it 2 stars is because of its interactive ads. Why do I need to interact with a ad?? just show the dang ad and move on, this is most annoying when trying to play a season with it stopping after every episode so that I interact with a ad. Please remove the interactive ads!

Full episodes were available on the app a couple weeks ago. Now when I open any series page, there are no episodes available at all, only clips. I've gone through everything on their support page and nothing has worked. It's not an issue with my phone, account, it settings. There is a obviously a problem with the app, especially given all the other similar complaints in recent reviews here.

The worst streaming app I have ever used. It will randomly stop while viewing and take you back to the menu and won't always take you back to the right spot when you resume it. Issues with fast forward, rewind, and pause. Don't waste your time, the frustration isn't worth it. Issues with trying to download the app on Xbox. Their troubleshooting articles have not helped with any of the problems.

This app is trash. Whenever I want to skip ahead (or go back) even if it's 15 seconds, I am forced to watch a 30 second commercial. Every. Single. Time. And it's usually the same commercial. AND sometimes it won't go to the time that you selected, instead it'll go to a different time in the show. And if you try and fix it, you guessed it, you're forced to watch another commercial. Absolute trash.

Edit: another update, another downgrade. The original 4:3 aspect ratio option has been removed from older episodes of The Simpsons. If I wanted to see 4/5ths of the picture I'd just watch on the network. Was this tested at all? Do people really prefer to have the original picture chopped just so it fits their widescreen tv? With the amount of sight gags in pre-HD episodes of The Simpsons who wants part of the video cut off? The latest update has turned the app into a buggy mess. Every other or third episode will crash the Chromecast requiring it to reboot. Going from the main menu to the "Simpson's world" menus generally takes two attempts requiring the app to be force closed and restarted. The app acts the same on both Android phones in the household, but runs flawlessly on the iOS device in the house. This was a major downgrade over the previous version of the app, in both functionality and UI. I'll update this review if the problems get resolved. Update 8/26: App still crashes the Chromecast after each episode, still no improvement in performance. I have followed the minimal troubleshooting (clear cache & data) and all it did was require me to log in with my provider again. No change. This occurs on a pixel 2 with the latest Android OS, and crashes a Chromecast that is up to date. As well as an LG G6 with Android 8.0.0. Please do more internal testing because it is a regular issue that looks to be reported by several reviewers.
