Like it.

Out of all the good free ones like crackle, tubi, Pluto etc, the is right up there with em. I’ve only watched a couple movies but I have yet to see a barrage of the same commercials. In fact I don’t think I’ve seen a commercial yet.

Too many Ads!

Too many commercials that break in the middle of a sentence every 5 minutes instead of the during the natural commercial break. The same commercial over and over, nothing worse than watching the same one several times. What happened???? You are having commercial breaks every 5 minutes of show! That is really unacceptable, please try to fix it. It seems the more I watch, the more there is an increase in commercials.

I Love Filmrise

It’s so nice to be able to open the “Filmrise” app and watch one of the many programs available. The fact that it costs nothing is Wonderful too. I really Love Filmrise and I think that you will as well !

Good selection but...

Just came across this app and while it has a lot of good choices, there is no description of any shows or movies; no favorites list or any way to bookmark anything. Also, when doing a search for tv shows, the episodes show up out of order, so you have to scroll thru the whole list, which could be problematic with a tv show with many seasons. It’s a good start but can be improved upon.

Love FilmRise and the app

Yes on Apple TV there is a glitch, but it pales in comparison to the quality and selection available for free. Gadzillionare Bezos is charging $3-$4 an episode for the same content.

It is really impressive that Filmrise offers these videos during the pandemic. FYI, the glitch is the 🚫 sign coming right after the symbol for the ad in the beginning of the video. Thank you so much and stay safe.

Could be great with better ad placement

Disappointed to find Filmrise throws commercials into the middle of a show at random. It just disrupts the story and makes the whole thing a waste of time. Commercial breaks should follow the structure of originally aired shows as closely as possible; for movies, they should be placed at appropriate breaks. This might require hiring people to watch and time the breaks.
I’d gladly watch commercials if they’re properly placed.
I’d gladly pay to remove ads if that were an option.
Pluto has the same problem. Sad to see Filmrise following their lead!

Very clunky

Offers great content that is commercially supported. The commercials run in random parts of the shows and not where they originally ran. In any given commercial break of 5 commercials, the run the same commercial over and over. The audio level of the commercials varies from spot to spot.

The app sometimes doesn’t remember where you stopped watching if you pause mid show. If you are watching a series it doesn’t move on to the next episode after finishing one.

The digital quality of the programs is excellent.

6th and jump

I’m only here for 6th and jump, watching jump street episodes. Please let them use jump street clips. They might even move on to any of the other fantastic 80s and 90s catalogues you all provide. Thank you.

Love it but...

In the Apple TV app I used to be able to choose what episode I wanted and it would play that certain episode! Now it doesn’t… which is a bummer.

I can’t find the exact seasons and episodes through the app and I find that as a struggle! To go back and look for the episode! Probably just a bug. But it bugs lol.

Too Many Glitch & Repetition

Filmrise needs to be updated. I like to watch British murder mystery tv series, for instance, Midsomer Murders. I have problems watching some of the episodes on my AppleTv but not on my iPad. Sometime the episode I want to watch cannot be seen due to error of some sort but not on my iPad. What I can do on my iPad cannot be done on my AppleTv. There are too many commercials which repeat themselves five times in a row it’s annoying!!! PLEASE STOP SHOWING FRONTIER COMMERCIAL!!!!!!! Are you trying to chase away viewers to a different tv app? It would be nice to read info about the show like a previews before making a chose. Images, titles and subtitles of the movies, tv, etc. is not enough when choosing what to watch.
