When I try to watch a downloaded show, after a few minutes it loses sync between the audio and the video. The sync is off by several seconds. I can get the sync fixed temporarily by exiting and resuming the show, but the sync issue repeats again every few minutes. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, deleting and re-downloading the show, making sure that nothing else is running in the background, etc. This is all happening on a iPad Pro 11”. I do not have any of these issues with other streaming apps. I have tried the same thing on my iPhone 13 Pro with the same results. Will Showtime EVER fix this problem??? **Developer response:** We hate to hear that you are running into difficulty when watching SHOWTIME content, and we would like the opportunity to troubleshoot this with you.

We want to help! ### 1/5 — App fails to Login to service provider *2023-01-25, version 4.7.0* I have tried numerous times to sign into my Verizon account through the app. I pay for showtime service through Fios, but every time I try and login and initiate the handoff it times out. I have logged into my Verizon account and retried, but still nothing. I’ve even got so far once that I actually logged into Verizon through the app only to get redirected to the home page of the Verizon app and no response or recognition of being signed in on the showtime app. I even disabled my Verizon security settings and multi factor authentication, but still nothing. Name another streaming service free or premium and I’ve logged in successfully and never had these issues. In 2023 I expect app to work, especially those I pay for. This seems to be a failed API handoff and for a premium service to not be able to login successfully to another premium service - both of which I pour money into every month - leaves me frustrated and disappointed. I am uninstalling and asking Fios to remove showtime from my account. How do you mess up something so easy as an API login? There are free streaming services that get this right. Rookie level coding mistakes. 0 stars. There isn’t even a link to support on the app. Maybe they know it’s crap and don’t want a mountain of service tickets flooding their inbox. **Developer response:** If you need assistance logging into SHOWTIME Anytime, we can help!

I wish I could give this app zero stars. Absolutely the worst!!!!! I’m about to delete this from both my IPad and my smart tv until they get a developer who is competent, it’s beyond ridiculous to have to activate it literally 100% of the time…NO other streaming app does that. And please spare me with a useless developer response about wanting to hear more about my experience….I literally just told you about my experience. ### 2/5 — Downloads are the worst! *2022-12-08, version 4.6.2* DEVELOPERS PLEASE READ! I am not sure if you actually paying attention to reviews here particularly regarding downloads but out of all of the streaming platforms SHO Anytime is by far the worst. Virtually unusable!!! First off, downloading is a crap shoot. Success rate is about 50%.You can never hit download and walk away otherwise you may be disappointed when it is time to watch an episode or movie you “thought” you downloaded successfully. For that reason I find myself babysitting downloads and have to restart once or twice before it actually does. When I am to finally download I often face terrible audio sync issues. I mean TERRIBLE. The audio gets out of sync sometimes by more than 30-45 seconds… I have to constantly restart the episode. I’ve notice it does this when the video jitters. Why is video jittering on a HD download!?? It’s NOT my device.I’ve tried both new iPad and iPhone 14. It’s almost as if the downloaded content is trying to establish a connection even though Im in airplane mode when this happens and off Wi-Fi. When I am offline SHO anytime should not try to connect and take me right to downloads where I should be able to watch my content seamlessly No other streaming platforms have these issues. WORD TO THE WISE - recruit and overpay a senior developer from one of the other platforms and fix yours. I am not being cheeky here, all of the big tech firms do it. This app is virtually unusable right now. **Developer response:** We want to hear more about your SHOWTIME Anytime experience.

We look forward to your feedback. ### 1/5 — Logging Me Out *2022-10-16, version 4.6.1* Not only am I experiencing this issue, but I’ve also seen many other complaints, some as far back as 4 years!! All with the developer, saying they hear us and that they are sorry that we are experiencing the same issue, of having to constantly reactivate a device due to automatically logging you out, yet in at least 4 years nothing has changed! I have to reactivate my devise sometimes multiple times a day, and honestly because it can be so frustrating I end up not really using the app like I do with other services. SHOWTIME I think it’s time that you FINALLY fix this issue!! Please! ### 1/5 — Streaming Crashes on AppleTV AND the website *2022-09-25, version 4.6.0* UPDATE: The website won’t stream content either. I’ve had some success just watching through my cable provider’s, Spectrum, app directly. Thoroughly enjoyed this app for a long time up until 2 weeks ago when it would no longer play shows on AppleTV. I just deleted it because the same issue keeps happening. While the app will launch it won’t stream shows. It will load for a moment then go back to the home screen. I know it’s not an issue with my internet connection because I don’t have this issue with other apps I stream content on with AppleTV. As a result I’ve had to resort to streaming from the ShowtimeAnytime website directly on my MacBook which actually works just fine. ### 5/5 — I like the Showtime app *2022-09-16, version 4.6.0* I pay for full cable. One night I forgot to tape The Walking Dead so I tried to watch it On Demand the same night but the AMC app tried to make me watch 48 commercials before the intro even came on. From that point forward I decided to cancel ,y cable and watch shows off of torrents rather than paying for cable and saying that I had to pay for streaming in addition ### 3/5 — Do you like frequently reauthorizing your account? *2022-07-08, version 4.4.1* This is the app for you. On at least a monthly basis, we get asked to reauthorize the app through our cable provider. It’s so diligent about making sure only authorized users are using the app, I recently had it ask for me to reauthorize my account in the middle of a show I was watching. Talk about vigilance! If you enjoy knowing that multi-billion dollar media conglomerates are putting the protection of their intellectual property over their paying users’ viewing experience, you’ll enjoy this app. ### 2/5 — They don’t got it *2022-06-30, version 4.4.1* Like many streaming services…they don’t got it. When you finish an episode, instead of seamlessly offering you the next episode, here is what this app requires you to do: close out of the current episode, type in the full name of the show you’re watching (hope you remember what number episode you just finished because this app doesn’t remind you), click the next episode and hope for the best! Didn’t finish the episode? NOT ALLOWED! Next time you open the app you need to remember where you left off so you could start it there. App doesn’t do it for you, obviously. ### 1/5 — Worst streaming app *2022-06-15, version 4.4.0* I’ve had this app for years and it’s the worst out of all the streaming apps where you can use your tv provider to login. First the app continues to log you in and out. Then the downloading is the slowest and the worst ever. It literally takes days yes days more than hours to download an episode of something. It’s NOT my internet speed and it’s NOT my iPad that is the problem it’s the app. Then when you finally get something downloaded and want to watch it not using Wi-Fi on the airplane it doesn’t work! You can’t login or you get an error message that says you can’t view your downloads. It’s VERY disappointing how bad this app is. I have deleted the app multiple times I’ve logged out and back in (and when you log out all your downloads you worked days to get are all erased so back to square 1) and the app is still EXTREMELY slow to download **Developer response:** We want to hear more about your SHOWTIME Anytime experience.
