You pay and get ads!

It was already a weak streaming service, now you get ads while browsing the titles and when you play a movie!
I guess it is win-win for the corporation behind the service!
I cancelled because of the ads and the poor selection of titles.

Horrible experience

This is absolutely the worst service I’ve ever used. Every other time I attempt view content via my AppleTV it would log me out. This wouldn’t be a huge issue expect that you can only have three devices signed in, and it doesn’t remember the device. The last time I reached out it took about a week for support to remove one of the logins off so that I could sign back in via my AppleTv. Please keep in mind that at most I would only sign in via my phone, computer, and Apple TV.

Ads With a Paid Subscription

I’ve tried to be supportive of Screambox throughout their many bugs but forcing me to watch ads when I pay for a subscription is where they’ve finally lost me.

Not to mention the ads can be as many as five at a minute or more each and freeze up and need to be constantly reloaded.

Unacceptable. Canceling my subscription.

Now showing ads even with a paid subscription

While I’ve had issues with the service and app for a while, I’ve stuck by it for some of the content but sorry to say no more. Including unskippable ads, some 2 minutes long, before I can watch a movie is unacceptable for a paid service. That this was done without notifying subscribers makes it even worse.

Don’t Waste Your Money

I have been back and forth with Screambox customer service for a few months and nothing has been resolved. It was for a brief moment and it allowed me to pay another $6.99 and then when I went to watch a movie it told me I am not subscribed. Resolved it just to get more money from me. LOL You’ll just keep throwing money at this app and unable to use it. Do yourself a favor a find another way to watch horror movies.

Charged but not given a subscription

Yeah I got charged a for a subscription and conveniently the app crashed right as I subscribed. So if I try to watch a movie it says I need to subscribe to watch it, even though I did and was charged for it, and on top of it if I go try to subscribe again it says one has already been purchased on this device. So I basically got scammed out of $7. I wish I could give this 0 stars.

Scream Box Fixed the Issue

Had a ton of issues signing up for a month, but Scream Box made it right. Took a couple of weeks though.

Zero Stars Do Not Recommend

I paid $6.99 for a premium membership and the app still shows that I am not signed up for premium. I spoke with Scream Box on the phone and via email with no resolution. I’m just out the $6.99 I was charged for premium but never got to use even a minute of premium. Do yourself a favor and sign up with Shudder. I’m just glad I didn’t pay for an annual plan and end up out $60.

Rip off

Paid for a subscription, got no access, submitted claim, they wanted proof, gave proof, nothing heard or done since. Would rate lower if I could.

Could be like shudder… could

With the exception of the addition of Frogman, a GREAT found footage film, this platform seems lacking. It doesn’t hold a torch to Shudder which even they struggle with content, though they’re getting better.

Might be good eventually.
