About Freegal Movies

The Freegal® Movies Application is a completely free and legal way to stream movies and television episodes via your local, subscribing library. The Freegal offering includes a variety of content for adults and kids from major content sources. As of this writing, the service is only available in the United States.

Once you have downloaded this application, you will be able to search to see if your local library has contracted for the Freegal service. If it has, you must have a valid library card (if not, call your local library). If you have a library card from a Freegal library, you can join the millions of people getting a select number of video streams courtesy of their local library.

App opens and displays... Nothing. Worthless. I hope public libraries did not pay $ to the developers.

There is no chromecast icon on screen as there are on other chromecast apps to pass the program to your TV. If there is a different way of going about this, I'd like to hear about it. Also I don't seem to be able to search movies by genre or keyword

Works OK SOME of the time as long as you don't have to pause or rewind or make any other interruption during viewing, and that's if you can get the movie you choose to start in the first place! Don't expect to get through a whole movie with the app (or even partial for that matter). So much for my 3 weekly rentals, unless I actually feel like turning on the computer (or am even at home to do so). You're better off to watch a movie via Freegal on your computer!!!

This needs a search option. I stopped a movie halfway intending to finish it later, when I returned a message states I must wait 90 days before I can stream it again. These two corrections would improve the app considerably.

The menu button in the upper left does not respond at all. Only two categories of movies show up, with only ten titles in each. Forces portrait mode and won't rotate. Unlike some other reviewers, however, I had no trouble logging in. One thing that may help those who couldn't find their libraries: remember to check where the MAIN branch of your library is located. The app doesn't show all branches - just the main. At least that's how it worked for me, where the county-library system's main branch is in a different city almost an hour from the branch that's near me. UPDATE: Big improvements in latest update. Still no search function - just browsing. Also doesn't have Closed Captions, so people with difficulty hearing are out of luck.

I feel very angry at this app im signed up with freegal music through my local library but for some odd reason freegal movies won't work for ANY timberland library. Seems like there's something wrong with app not that the living earth isn't signed up. Not to mention others have this problem and from reading these reviews it sounds like you only put movies out that are awfull. So if u do fix and if the movies are "good" ill give 4 star.
