Frustrating Trash Heap

This app is deplorable. 1: It will sign you out of it EVERY DAY and youll have to reactivate it on the website. 2: The commercial breaks are VERY long, MUCH louder than the actual show, and play the same commercials OVER AND OVER! 3: The app will often glitch and play commercials repeatedly, or just the audio from them on repeat, or the show will fail to load after a commercial break and youll have to restart and watch MORE COMMERCIALS! 4: Dont scrub anywhere or youll have to watch another 5 minutes of commercials.

PERFECT

No issues for me. Runs perfectly on iPhone 6. Better than most tv apps.

Very nice

Good

Worst TV watching app out today!

I have many of the TV apps such as AMC, HBO, ESPN... but none compare to the annoyance of this terrible app. I dont mind having to watch advertisements during the shows, but there are only 1 or 2 and therefore they repeat over and over. As someone else said here, you start to hate the product for being replayed endlessly. Even worse, the ads will interrupt the shows out of sync with the break points. This forces you to watch the ad, then 10 seconds of show, followed by 3 seconds of blank screen where the ad SHOULD have gone! So annoying! But the inexcusable aspect of this app is that it will suddenly shut down mid-show and display a blank screen. No buttons on the Apple TV will function and you wait 5-8 minutes for Apple TV to reboot, then you must search out the program and start over from the beginning. This, incredibly happens 40-50% of the time! Usually we just give up and go do something else. Inexcusable that this dysfunctional app is even offered as usable. As with most media nowadays, the consumer has no other option but to suffer though the glitches as there is no competing method to view these shows.

Come on. Ridiculous

Show content is great and works ok. When time for commercials, it just hangs there. Cant finish watching a show because the commercials wont play.

The Americans

I can watch The Americans on my phone with little commercial interruption the day after it airs.

Amazing!

We use this everyday! I cant believe I get to live in a time where THIS is possible! Oh yeah!!!!!

Weak

I have never created an app before and Im assuming the same is true for the folks that created this one. Doesnt work 90% of the times I try. Disappointed.

An app ballooning to half a gig after one days usage

I love being able to watch some of my favorite shows whenever I please but this app isnt worth the hassle.this app suddenly consumes 400 mb of memory and Im constantly turning my wifi on and off just to get through the commercials. Constant inexplicable interruptions to streaming during incessant commercials? Sudden consumption of more than half your iPhones available memory? If you cant pirate your shows download this app then delete it and reinstall per the viewing of each episode... Thats my method.

App is great. Design is good and they dont skip on the shows

So its almost a better experience than watching it on TV, except the delay to watch new eps. I streamed to chromecast, which got a bit choppy, but Im pretty sure that was Comcasts fault. Im convinced they throttle down video from networks to encourage people to watch conventionally

Great design

On all platforms, FX has one of the best designed interfaces for a TV app of all the networks.

Storage issues...

After several months of usage this app becomes the largest storage hog of all my apps. It was up to 1.9 GB. Possibly because it remembers all the movies I have been watching and retains a starting point in order to resume? But once the movie is over I dont watch the ending subtitles. The only way I found to fix this problem was to remove the app and then reinstall.

Horrible App-Crashed

Crashed 100%. Cant get beyond loading the app. Support crashes too.

More ads and more ads

The ads keep getting longer and there are more of them. Have stopped using the app.

commercial cut off

often the commercial cuts between 1-2 seconds before the end of the scene, and those seconds appear after the commercial.

Bring back the Chromecast feature!!

Bring back the frickin Chromecast Feature!!!!!

Excellent app

Excellent app. AirPlay support & less commercials would be appreciated.

The Americans

Excellent show, love the characters. Really enjoy watching it on the iPad.

Best app ever

I use fxnow honestly every day and still can find shows and movies I like everytime thank you creators:)

Captain Obvious Ad

The Captain Obvious Vegas Ad is making my Shows freeze, otherwise the app is great.
