### 1/5 — Four years a failure

*2022-08-18, version 10.28.0*

Nothing I have ever watched on FOX NOW has ever worked well. I use the app because I have certain shows that I need to watch on it. But every single solitary time I try to watch something on Fox now I have some kind of issue. Of all of the streaming apps that I have and I have many, this one is the ultimate worst. I can access FOX NOW on my phone with no problem, signing in with my cable login but cannot watch on my Roku TV with the same cable login. Error message. If I switch the orientation on my phone I get the continuous loading circle. If I close the app adjust the orientation and then open, it it’s fine. But it can’t seamlessly switch orientation. I get multiple error notifications. Close the app open it and it works. Well it works minus the issues I mentioned above with the continuous loading circle.  I have never ever encountered as many issues with a streaming app as I have with this one. If I could rate it a -5 I would. Most of the other streaming apps will eliminate the commercials if I’ve watched them once. Not so with this one.I’ve been trying to watch a show for the past 15 minutes and have encountered three or four errors. The continuous loading circle. Cutting off while watching and getting an error message. Enough so that I quit watching the show I was trying to watch and show something else. Something else that works seamlessly well without all this chaos!!

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for your review. If you're seeing any issues with the app loading very slow and getting error messages, then we recommend reaching out to our Customer Support team: https://fxnow.fxnetworks.com/feedback

### 1/5 — Extremely buggy. Unusable with Chromecast. Pathetic for a huge company.

*2022-06-21, version 10.26.0*

The app on the phone is buggy and terrible enough. It doesn’t remember where you left off, doesn’t properly respond to pause/play, etc. 

Using with Chromecast is much much worse. It initially casts to TV (after many bugs), but then quickly loses connection with Chromecast, which is impossible to resume. You have to disconnect and then guess where you were in the movie by dragging the timeline, which is way too small to be accurate. Even if you get it right, chances are you get stuck watching commercials for 2 minutes that you already watched. Then as you watch on Chromecast, the stream is frequently freezing and switching between HD and like 120p or something barely visible. And no, it’s not my internet, it’s fast and reliable.

I never write reviews but felt the need to write this one due to how frustrating my viewing experience was. Will rent movie next time.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for your review about not being able to Chromecast properly. If you're seeing any issues with the app's performance, then we recommend reaching out to our Customer Support team: https://fxnow.fxnetworks.com/feedback

### 2/5 — I wish I could watch

*2021-06-22, version 10.13.0*

I have cable and I connect my cable to the app so I can have full access to the shows. But majority of the time when I try to open the app, it either continues to load on the start up screen, the colorful fx fearless sign over water.. and never opens. Oooor it opens, and the words cut out every other second. Impossible to watch missing every few moments of audio. And sometimes, it opens, the then gives me an “oops, video can’t play” or something and doesn’t open the app at all. I’d say it’s to the point that I can only watch every 4th or fifth attempt :( sometimes, not every time, if I remove then redownload the app it works... I wrote customer service but no one had gotten back to me.

### 1/5 — Unstable Live Stream App

*2021-05-30, version 10.13.0*

What ever platform FX utilizes for live streaming their online content is unstable and frustrating to use. I understand that ads plugged into their live stream content is necessary to generate revenue but can they at least make the ads run smoothly with the streaming content? Every time an ad pops up it’s a roll of the dice on whether the ad freezes the programming timeline or im forced to restart the program after watching the notorious loading progress wheel forever. Any attempts to adjust the timeline to your last spot only brings on more frustration after being forced to rewatch all of the same auto dealership and big pharma ads back to back with no success. With all of these revenue generating ads they inundate us with one would think Disney would be able to develop a smoother running live streaming app. Come on guys, get it together.

### 5/5 — Gurl, Gurrr Gurr, Guurl !!!!

*2021-05-12, version 10.12.0*

This is one of the most sleek steaming g apps ever. You have all the variety or what people call, mixed bag of Teeee Vee!! Not since Cardi B. Hit Love and Hip Hop as TV been so fun and bingeable!!! Did I just make up a new word or use incorrect english?!? Well what happened is THIS APP! No jumping or pixelated missed scenes! Can watch on any device or TV at the same time and still text! The shows are enough to get you sucked into the TV, your friends will start to text you, “CAROL ANNE”?? Where you at? In the darn TV. Just when I got a new set of PJ’s and accepted my body positivity inclusion, the Work has to go into the offices!! I called out one day, I needed a mental health day. Watched TV all day!! FX is the best!! Can’t wait for more exclusive programs!!

### 5/5 — Absolutely love it with earbuds.

*2021-02-25, version 10.9.0*

Being able to listen to one of my top favorite TV Shows; Archer, through Apple Earbuds is a new experience you have to try. I’ve binged all of Archer’s seasons multiple times and through earbuds via my iPhone, I can hear all the little things I’ve missed from TV speakers. For instance. in the show’s theme, I can now distinctly hear the bass that I’ve missed repeatedly, with its nuances. There are subtle music cues and panning tricks. For instance sometimes Pam will yell something in the left ear, which lets you know her placement in the scene if she’s not visible, like in her office. I don’t know if they remixed the audio for this purpose or if it’s always been like it, but it’s an extremely pleasurable way to watch the show. To the point that I don’t really want to watch TV and movies without earbuds if the same quality of production is used.

### 1/5 — Worst streaming app, literally of them all, the worst

*2020-05-04, version 10.1.0*

What. On earth. Is wrong with this network?!?!? I pay for a cable TV service, doesn’t matter, I pay for the app on its own, doesn’t matter. Literally nothing allows this garbage app to work. It’s so frustrating that I have to pay for a service that never works ever. Any Fox network. FX, Fox, fox sports, nothing ever works. Please, please, please, for the love of god, do not ever pay for this network, it’s awful and will never play. Please do not waste any more money that I already have.

I just had to add, after reading so many negative reviews, that fox seems to have  “fix it” sited and a list of steps that they ask every poor review to try. News Flash, none of that works, and it’s all false. Just like a fox network tp provide false hope.. garbage network..

### 1/5 — Don’t get excited just yet - false advertising | Full episodes unavailable

*2020-01-22, version 7.0.0*

I kept seeing advertising about watching full episodes of shows on the FXNOW app through a cable subscription. That’s a devastating lie. Of the three shows I was eager to watch, none of them are available. I contacted customer service to ask why I could only see clips and not episodes of the shows. The response was “At this time, there are currently clips available to view on the FXNOW app and website. Content availability can change from time to time on our platform, but it’s always possible that full episodes will come back in the future!“ 
I don’t know if this is a fault of the platform, network, show creators or something else but regardless, why market the product if it can’t deliver? Majorly disappointed.

### 2/5 — Used to love but....

*2019-09-08, version 3.16.4*

This used to be the most used tv app I have, however, for the past few weeks, it hasn’t been working. One day I noticed it had logged me out of my tv provider (which didn’t seem that weird at the time). I went to put the information in, and it said that the network was no longer included in my current service. I have Xfinity, and it has not changed. It still works on my iPad, so it is very confusing as to why it is not working on my phone.

edit: It’s been months, and the same thing is still happening. Every once and awhile i’ll re-download the app to see if it’s working and the problem is still there every time. I still get fxx on cable and the app still works on my iPad, so I am still very much confused.

### 1/5 — High hopes, low results

*2019-08-31, version 3.16.4*

So I downloaded the app, signed in with my provider. Started watching Family Guy and had not one issue. Watched maybe 5 episodes and everything came in crystal clear, no buffering, no stalling. 
But then started watching Snowfall. It first said ‘my package doesn’t allow this show with my provider’, which I know is nonsense. After somehow getting past that, it then told me I needed to sign in. Went to my profile and it showed that I was ALREADY SIGNED IN WITH MY PROVIDER. I attempted to watch the first episode of the new season 3x and EVERY time I did the app would crash at some point. I tried resetting it, tried closing the app, I even tried dumping it and re-downloading it again. Nothing. Same results. 
We all pay good money for cable services and the “amenities” are straight garbage. Waste of time and cash.
