DONT WASTE YOUR TIME

This stupid app doesnt even let you stream full episodes of most of its shows. What the hell is the point of this??

Why does it need to be so difficult?

Content is not well organized for browsing. If you want to pause on a frame or try to catch something you missed, Im looking at you Simpsons, you need to touch the screen to bring up the on screen controls & then tap pause. When on screen controls are on, the show dims. The on screen controls then fade out making it exceedingly difficult to move ahead slowly or frame by frame. Scrubbing on the time bar for a two hour show, just to go back a few seconds, is a hopeless endeavor. Especially since the darn controls fade out after a few seconds. Ive seen this developed much more elegantly in other apps, smart tvs, DVRs, blueray, phonographs, 8-Track tapes, wax cylinders and those notched sticks from Sumeria. It would be nice to have a jump back 10 seconds button, just like the heavy hitters in the streaming world. Thats a fairly decent solution for the reluctance that streaming content has for being scrubbed. The interface is too cute for its own good. I hope one of their developers reads this and considers how cool it would be to "get with the program". Its 2016 and the wheel is still round and many entertainment services have discovered the best practices. I only care because they actually do offer good content.

Simpson FX Tastic

This app is currently very fantastic. Ive use this app mainly for watching the Simpsons, which I love doing when Im exercising at the gym. Makes for a very amazing Hilarious Simpsons workout experience. Everything works great for me also when using the other parts of the app. This app does seem to work fairly well with the voiceover accessibility feature for the iPhone. I love the live TV feature as well. Wish that I could see this feature placed into other TV show and movie streaming apps. However, I didnt like noticing that the chrome cast feature wasnt there anymore. But other than that, Keep up the good work guys, thank you. Note. You do need a cable TV provider account log in to be able to have all Full episodes available to you. Again, thank you very much for this awesome app.

Spinning wheel of death

10 minutes of content for every 30 of commercials and the spinning wheel...

Love this App to death

Love the Simpsons more than anything but the constant change of movies that are also on tv that I can cast to my tv is more than awesome. Cant thank you guys enough for the effort you put into this app and the enjoyment and depression youve helped me with. Much love -Justin G

A bit buggy

Overall this is a great app to watch your favourite FX show, however I always run into problems after the commercial break. Commercials start playing, but when they are done the show does not load back properly. I have to close the app and then resume the show and watch the commercials again.

All your favorite episodes

A great all - inclusive app for all things FX.

Terrible

Crashes every time I scroll down to the bottom of the homepage...also, call me stupid but there is no search button within the app to locate a show. Hhmmm?!?!??

Pretty good overall

I like this app! It has a lot of different options (movie/tv wise) and never crashes. Its also pretty fast and pretty reliables. The one thing I dont like is the commercials. No other streaming app has them, not even HBO GO which shares the basic concept as this app. Theyre meant for the same thing but for different channels.

Terrible app

It would be nice to sign in with my provider like I can do on my Apple TV, instead, the free time it gives counts down regardless if you are watching something or not. Your popping commercials anyway, I dont understand why its so useless.

Its great catching up on missed episodes with FX app!

Great app

It is so much better than using the TWC app.

Ok but...

Could you add the basic functionality of streaming it too the apple tv without it turning off everytime the iPhone sleeps??!!

Bad

It should let you watch everything for free but u have to sign in

Terrible

Frequent ads that are constantly repeated and occasionally crash the app. The content is removed from the app very quickly. Its poorly designed and miserly, its the kind of app that pushes people who are happy to pay to piracy.

FX Shows are the BEST

Baller app

Not loading

It does not load. This app is not recommendable.

Better than Netflix!

Awesome app, great selection.

Very slow, repetitive ads

Would love an add free for pay option, app is very sluggish - on iPad Air 2. Great to have shows available, difficult to pause or skip ahead- it confuses the ads...the app feels pretty buggy.

Captions wont go away

This app would have a five star rating. But the captions are BEYOND ANNOYING. I use this on my iPad Air 2 and whenever I try to watch anything, I have these annoying captions on the screen that wont go away no matter what I do. And its only for this app too. I can watch Netflix with no problem. But this app wont disable captions. So until this is fixed, this app will remain a one star rating.
