Glitchy af.

Subtitles are awfully translated. Rarely picks up where you left off. Just starts playing randomly after pausing. RW/FF bar isn’t always available.

Constant Glitching

This app doesn’t save your place when you’re watching shows so every time you go back in you have to remember where you were and scrub to that location after watching an ad. Very annoying. Sometimes it just gives me an error message for no reason and kicks me out of my show. Tried deleting and redownloading and it doesn’t help. Expensive subscription for having it not work well most of the time.

Needs work!

I’ve had the app for a long time. You would think with all the advances it could be better. I love a lot of the shows on there. But it rarely saves your place on anything that you’re watching. You have to go back and find the spot that you left off at. Also, it never saves your subtitle preferences and you have to put it on every time you go back in. So annoying!! Fix it!! I think it is one of the worst apps when it comes to streaming services.

Crashes often, doesn’t function

Absolutely the worst app for streaming I’ve ever used. Super unreliable, crashes often, will play multiple shows at once, doesn’t save the place every time and constantly starts episodes over, the captions are wildly inaccurate to the point it’s not even worth having on. I’m blown away at how terrible this is.

Terrible UI/UX

I can tell it hasn’t been maintained at all because this app is hard to navigate.

App never opens

i have deleted and reloaded the app 4 times and it still will not open on my iphone.

I’ve had the app for less than 24 hrs

I can’t search for anything because I get black boxes for everything. I don’t actually see the results. When I tried to log in for the first time everything went black and I had to find a round about way in. When stuff loads on the home page everything but a couple are black boxes. I have no idea what content you have. I’m hoping there’s another update to fix this extremely soon or I have to cancel.

Terrible app

There’s terrib le bugs that don’t get fixed. I have an Account that I have not been able to use for so long o actually forgot about it and cancelled it immediately. The app is useless. I have deleted it and reinstalled it so many times and it still just shows a black screen , no log in or any options.

The app sucks

I have been trying to watch my show for months now but ended up stopping because it keeps replaying the same episode over and over again. Once i exit out the app and go back to it later, BACK TO THE SAME EPISODE. I completely stopped using the app and regret paying.

Ok..

Lots of good shows! Only issue is the app itself. Can be very slow at times, freezes to where I have to exit out in order for my show to play again and then it starts all over again. Also, it never saves my place in the show every time I come back I have to restart from the beginning. Would give more stars if it didn’t have these issues.

This is the worst app

I never write reviews, I went out of my way to find Starz on the App Store to make this review. This is the worst app I have ever used. Shows never start from where I left off, it always starts over. If I adjust the brightness of my screen the video of what I’m watching disappears. Netflix would never!!!! Horrible app Starz!

Playing sound but not video

The second I click any button on my phone, it stops showing my show, but still plays it. On top of that issue, it WILL NOT let me use my cellular data. It will not play a show unless I’m connected to WiFi which is NOT convenient for me

Not worth the aggravation $$

Worst streaming app I’ve ever used, every time I pause a show it start over from the beginning. Definitely not worth the money, I’m canceling my subscription today. STARZ is a joke

Resume option broken

I’m on iOS up-to-date updated the STARZ app. Nothing’s working. I try to resume where I left off and have to start the episode over again.
Don’t get me wrong. The content is good. The quality is good when you’re watching. But the second you switch over to do something else it shuts down the video player and have to start the episode all over again. Please fix this bug.

Double dipping

Paid for a subscription through the website and the app wants me to pay for the subscription again wtf

No play on iPhone 16

Bought. Stay today on my desktop. Login on iPhone 16 and only get a blank screen forever. Never completes the login.

Worst streaming app EVER

This app has some good shows and movies but how come when you touch the screen what you watching disappears and all you can hear is the audio. Then you can go and click on what you weee just watching and it won’t play unless you complete close the app and open it back up. But even then it’ll start the damn episode from the beginning. Once I’m done watching these couple show I will be deleting this and I would NEVER PAY FULL PRICE FOR THE WORST STREAMING APP EVER. I have the same problem on both iPhone and iPad. If I could give this zero stars I would

Worst streaming app

Won’t save your place when watching episodes. Constantly non responsive and have to swipe app away and reopen

Great until you have a problem

I like STARZ until you have a problem then it’s wait and nobody knows what you’re talking about. I’m no longer a customer because they don’t understand unless it’s something simple.

Absolutely horrible app design

This app restarts on me constantly. It doesn’t keep track of where in an episode I left off, so I have to fast forward till I find where I was. If I accidentally toggle my pull-down menu while doing so, it kicks me out of the show and the app will not respond till I close it out and restart it. I’ve had to do this 5-6x IN A ROW because the app doesn’t keep track of where I left off!!!! I’m so frustrated!!!
