Not sure why Showtime can’t link anything
Like most people, I don’t have cable. I own an Apple TV and subscribed to Showtime. The confirmation I got told me to download “Showtime” not “Showtime Anytime.” These are two different apps. I figured this one out on my own, downloaded Showtime Anytime and logged in with my iTunes account. It worked for exactly 48 hours. Now when I open Showtime Anytime it says I’m not logged in and I have to sign in with a cable TV provider to continue. There is no other option. I can’t log in using my iTunes account that I paid for the subscription with. There’s no “restore” button. To watch Showtime I have to go into the Apple TV’s main search, search specifically for what I want, and then it will open. The Anytime app is useless and I have no way to browse content. Needless to say I won’t be keeping this subscription.

App Has Issues
I love Showtime, the content is awesome, but the app is meh. If you download shows to watch offline, they always skip or freeze and there is no way to fix it other than watching back on wifi. It’s like the files are corrupted. Occasionally even on wifi it still does it during streaming. Plenty of others have had the same issue. It’s not my internet connection. All the other apps are working flawlessly. Just some bugs that need to be worked out is all. But it is pretty annoying at times.

Review
I wish you had more real life docs like the Time for Death. we need more shows that make us realize what is important. thank you for that. another reason I didn’t give u five stars, your app doesn’t allow me to minimize it. horrible! I will probably cancel after i’m done with the docs just for that reason. sometimes I need to text or something while i’m watching and don’t want to restart.

Love Twin Peaks The Return
Twin Peaks The Return is the only reason I’m using this app and it’s an amazing show. In this current time of streaming services and IP, I’m surprised Paramount + hasn’t ordered another season. A new season would bring more new people (like me) to Paramount +. And let’s face it Paramount needs it. Also it would be great for tv show and pop culture fans who want a streaming service to use great IP that isn’t just comic book properties. Also the original Penny Dreadful was great.

Showtime is a joke
Terrible agent. Instead of explaining anything I asked she just shrugged it off like I was stupid. She tried to make it seem like it was my fault that your servers were down. Instead of trying to help with anything she just gave trouble shooting issues for my router when again it was your servers. You people wasted my time and money on a PPV fight that you should have been prepared for. Showtime is a joke. To make it all worse I still don’t have my $50 dollars back. Showtime scammed me. From now on I will not be using showtime for ANYTHING. This company is a scam. The app was down the whole fight with no solutions and the agent couldn’t even give us an estimated time. Showtime will not get anymore of my money and I’ll make sure I pirate everything that comes from this company.

Trash
I’m big on streaming services and I took a chance on showtime to not only watch but PAY FOR a PPV. Never got the chance. Had to use a whole other platform that worked great unlike this service. Didn’t even have the respect enough to tweet out updates and acknowledge the problem until the fights were over and didn’t even provide a direct link for customers to get a refund. A refund should be automatic knowing you were selling a services that was not met. On top of that people made plans, and spent additional money and time for this event that you ultimately ruined. Trash app. Trash service. Trash company. And I hope you fix, compensate and suffer for this mistake.

Search?
What a bizarre navigation system this app has. It is not compatible with a keyboard. When you select the “search” option, if you decide that you actually don’t want to do a search or accidentally selected it, there is no way to get off of the page. You can’t tap on a blank space to return to any of the other navigation. You have to type something in the search and press enter, in order to get the navigation tab on the bottom to show up again. Or, if you are using a external keyboard, you have to select the keyboard icon on the bottom and hide it in order to go to the nav bar again. There isn’t even a “cancel” option in the search bar even when an external keyboard isn’t connected. Someone didn’t think this one through.

Showtime for one
I love showtime and the shows it has. I was between Paramount and Showtime and I did the free trial for both. I know they are both within the CBS umbrella so hopefully showtime will get absorbed by paramount app because they offer profile options and showtime doesn’t. There are four people at my house that watch and I don’t want to watch what they watch or get recommendations because of what they watch or see the continue watching of their leftovers. If they fix this it would be an ok platform but both paramount and showtime alone can’t compete with HBOMAX. Put them together and now you are talking.

Thank you!
I’ve enjoyed this app, because of the content, for a few years. The recent updates have fixed the bugs with keeping the time remaining on a show, correct, when re-opening the app.
With the great content and the app working as it should, I am am very happy with the service. Thank you to the engineers and everyone else who worked diligently to fix the issue!

Ok, could be a lot better
Ok so don’t get me wrong I love Showtime and it’s content but this Showtime app just isn’t it. Ok he user interface is not up to par with the rest of the stream apps and even the player interface is lacking many features that it’s competitors have. I should be able to create a favorites list of shows for quick access. And even when you search a show the layout of the shows is confusing and not well done, it doesn’t even show which showed you’ve already watched. Also like someone said before for whatever reason this all is constantly buffering on iPhones. I would just like showtime to go through do a complete overhaul of this app and create a functional UI.
