FXNOW

The app is good, but it only updates shows once a month, so you only get a hand full of each show to watch. Similar apps update their on demand shows weekly, if not more often. Commercials are fine, you have to expect that from a free app. Wish they weren't the same ones every break, but that's based on who buys the time, options are limited.

too many ads. ads take forever to buffer/stream which makes each ad break 10min long

Pointless that I have to be subbed to the channel in order to use the app. If I had the channel I would just DVR what I wanted to watch.

I use this app on my Shield TV and it works fine. I don't have any complaints about watching shows. The tiles on the recommendation row are always blank though, and the tiles within the app are blank sometimes.

Good but too many commercials. If I didn't have to use a provider log in, the commercials would be acceptable.

id expect something better from a major station, app definately needs attention. playback ,resume and commercials playing properly are buggy ....but hey at least it skips playing commercials sometimes..

Constant errors when trying to watch via Chromecast. Commercials are louder than the content which is illegal on cable but apparently ok since this is an app. Do not download if you don't want to deal with constant frustrations or muting the commercials.

Would be great app if you didn't have to sign in to your service provider. If I had cable I would watch these shows normally

I'd rate this higher if I didn't have to clear the data on the app everytime I want to watch something. Seriously, I have to reset the app everytime I use the app. It's a pain especially since other streaming apps don't have this issue. Fix the issue and I'll rate it higher.

NO FREE Content

I have direct TV now.. they suck with their VOD. Thanks the FX app I can watch my Favorite TV shows like The Americans.

The app rarely keeps track of where i am during episodes, my experience with this app has turned me off of ever using this app for anything else

It works well, but I have a hard time getting crome cast to play a whole movie with freezing.

You can stream the Simpsons nonstop! I'll stream it all day if it's my day off! Works great! Uses massive amounts of data, but what video streaming app doesn't. That's what wifi is for!

I keep getting an error with some episodes saying there was a problem please try again but it never works

It's pretty nice, but I agree that having so many commercials is annoying. Having one halfway through the show and one at the end would suffice...

Worked until today. Says I need to sign in. I'm signed in. Uninstalled and reinstalled still does not work.

Too many adds and I have it on my Xbox one and super slow it keeps closing out

It only posts the commercials then shuts down. Uninstalled and reinstalled but the same problem.

All the commercials are a bit much for that I could just watch tv but it does have all my favorite shows and the live tv works awesome

A few to many commercial breaks but they do not last log.

I really like this app but I wish it would automatically play the next episode. Also I think it would be better if it played in landscape so I wouldn't have to turn auto rotate on my phone.

Way too many freezes and crashes and a ton of repetitive ads very poor quality

I actually like the app. I don't care about the commercials, you'd get the same as if you were watching the actual FX on cable/satellite. What I don't like is needing to activate FXNOW practically every day! It's annoying, tedious and an inconvenience. This needs to be fixed immediately.

Way too many adds. Choppy video after adds. I love the shows, but I'll just wait until it's on a Netflix or Amazon. Update, I received a generic reply from FX recommding that I clear my cookies. That is not the issue, but thanks for wasting more of my time. If you don't take the time to read a review but are willing to send a generic email, then don't bother responding, it's insulting.

Gave it four Stars because it's a good solid app but it lacks content as opposed to other channel apps. The movie section has an average amount of content but the series section is severely lacking; basically useless for watching shows.

Pretty sound and awesome aside from no casting option for live viewing and resume is non existent if i get interrupted but still love it most of my shows come on when i am working or sleeping as i have a weird schedule.. Or i am hanging with my kid and they are not age appropriate LoL Also it doesn't have TOO MANY ads not sure why people are complaining about it heck sometimes there are none for certain episodes!

Too many commercials. And the same damn commercials too. And for other stupid shows on FX that I'm not going to watch. Way more commercials than on other channels streaming apps.

It's just not intuitive or simple. The show selection is terrific but, in particular, the simpsons section of the app is hideously bad. It ends up failing CONSTANTLY when used with Chromecast.

Eh, forcing people to tie this to their cable/satellite provider is an outdated practice. A majority of people use streaming services these days. And I have to agree with some other reviews, there are too many ads for this to be tied to a service you're already paying for. Either make it a totally independent streaming service and have people pay for it while showing all of FX's content, or make it completely free if you're showing ads. Or, and this is a better option, show all of your shows on your website without having to tie it to a cable/satellite provider with the ads intact for free.

Good app, does what it should do. Just curious though, it works on my laptop, on my ohone, on my tablet but when I try to sign in on my roku, Sling TV isn't recognized as a TV provider, so I can't watch on my regular TV, which really does limit my viewing of your shows

Far superior to network, premium cable channel apps. So far, flawless. Fast, EZ pause, forward, resume,back w no hang, lag, freeze, or force close + no extra sites 2 log in to! Even CNN demands login 2 my cable provider to view content; which is almost insulting considering the terrible journalism (& one of many reasons it was uninstalled for PBS) FX app has clean UI; Very impressive.HBO, CBS, Comedy Channel take note!

If your bills are split between you and a roommate, and you constantly forget the login info for the bills in their name, an app like this is terrible. It won't remember the login info for you, and the one trial you get is 49 minutes long, taken up by 15 minutes of ads, so you won't get to finish the episode. If your internet connection lags a bit? That wastes your trial time too! And god forbid you answer a phone call or accidentally touch your phone screen and click out of the app while watching the show! Guess whose trial is automatically over!

Do not download this abysmal app. There are more commercials than actual show playing time.. Hey FX! If you're *really* serious about " improving our viewer experience", cut out the absurd and insulting amount of commercials

Constant playback errors. I have great Internet, but the fx now apps on Xbox and android run terribly. Skipping, playback errors, and sometimes it just doesn't even want to run. It's a shame because I love fx, but their apps are THE WORST.

Simpsons in 4:3 has sync issues with audio and video. Support was no help getting things fixed.

I can't get past the "we're sending you to your internet provider to log in" screen. Still haven't heard back about the issue, have contacted several times. I used to love this, now it's useless.

Stop with the vague changelogs. Specify what's in *this* update even if it's just "bug fixes". Don't say "we're improving the app regularly" in every single update notes.

Refuses to place random episodes of the Simpsons throughout every season. Just pops up an error message that won't go away.

Doesn't remember where you left off on a show. Have to guess, and go through a million ads, to pick up where you last left off. Very frustrating.
