User Reviews for SHOWTIME: TV, Movies and More

A ranked contender of top 3 streaming service’s

Phenomenal content, great app performance and wide selection. Not much more you can possibly ask or hope for. If they ever did potentially aspire to gain the championship throne and overtake arguably either HBO or Netflix, than in this very credible reviewers opinion they should invest less in the startups with particular emphasis on the cultural push that their making and more emphasis on their proven winners and particularly the numerous amazing series they’ve got only a single season of. My own strong advice would be more crime documentaries like ‘Active Shooter’ since lord knows there’s enough weekly for at least 10 seasons and ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ to name a couple. Make no mistake, they’ve hit solid gold with the Kevin Bacon series and a few more that everyone knows. I wasn’t a fan at all of killing off Micheal C Hall in New Blood! What a blunder that was who’s ever idea that belongs too.

Video works well, playback controls lacking

I've had no problems browsing and streaming content, but other than the typical forward/backward click-and-drag scrubber, all they have is a "back 30 seconds" button. 30 seconds is too far back 90% of the time. I usually just missed the last 10 seconds of dialogue, and if you really need 30, hitting a 10-second button three times is simple. So a smaller increment please!Having a forward-10-seconds button to undo that would be nice too. I do like the easy on/off close captioning button, though only seems to work for English because it doesn't seem to have a language selector. But for me, a native English speaker, being able to turn it on and off without disrupting play is awesome, and it's the first app I've seen with this. Having an option to turn CC on only for a back-10-seconds playback would be cool though, where it turns on just until you get back to the spot where you originally hit the button. Overall, the app does the job. But the meager playback controls are probably the most frustrating I've found in a video app.

Navigation is awful

This app (on firestick) isn’t just not user friendly, it’s user hostile. If you want to watch a series from the beginning (e.g. Dexter) there’s no way to add the show to a watch list. Every time you log in you have to go to the menu, series, scroll through all shows until you find it, find the season you want (newest first, of course), then the episode. You get to do this every time you log in. If you watch more than one show, you do it for that show too. This is such a fundamental blunder in design that it makes me angry each time I use it. It is mind bogglingly bad. There’s not even a search function to enter the name of the show. You can’t even pick up where you left off because if you go to menu, recently watched it restarts the last episode you watched. The only possible explanation I have for this poorly designed app is that it was created by someone that does not watch television and doesn’t understand how tv shows work.

Terrible

Ok so this app is just out right terrible. Showtime its self is a good streaming service with a great selection of content that is not the issue. The issue is with the design of the app, I subscribe to most of the streaming services available and Showtimes app is by far the worst. Now I feel this is a huge shame as Showtimes content with verity and just out right quality shows is one of if not the best streaming service for TV seasons etc. Just the navigation and design of the app puts it down at the bottom of all the streaming services. At first I thought it was me and I was just missing some menu or button but after asking my family and others I know they all had the same problems. Now I’m sure when you eventually figure out how to perform simple tasks on the app then what I’m saying would seem silly, but that is the issue after 4 weeks using the app I am still unable to skip backward 2 episodes, or buying up the list of episodes for instance. I genuinely went on to my local university to see if there was a coarse or something Showtime expect you to take to be able to navigate the app, I have no issue performing any functions when watching on different platforms e.g. Roku threw my television but the Apple app for me with a masters in software engineering, its just to complicated to use.

One of the worst apps to use offline.

Downloading content for offline take forever...plan to have it 4x times the length of the content (1hr show will take about 4hrs to download). It will lock up several times during its downloading, and the only way to get it back to being responsive is to force quit it and re-launch it. Then when you go to play your recorded content back be prepared to only watch 10min of it before it crashes out with a generic “Server Error”...and wouldn’t you know it when go back to play your content again, it has no idea that you made any progress on it, so you gotta fast forward to where you think it crashed...play 10min more only to repeat this process. Worst app ever made for downloading and playing back offline content. UPDATE - It’s been more then a year that submitted this review and they have yet to address any of these issues.

Garbage

This app has recently and consistently received 1 star ratings for the exact same basic reason …it doesn’t work. Any competent developer would immediately address customer satisfaction issues by resolving ASAP.. You will see that the same issue is raised repeatedly by users - app freezes, crashes, can’t get thru show. Sort by most recent and you will quickly see what I am describing. The developer, if they respond, will cut and paste the same response- contact customer care, we are sorry you are disappointed, we want to work through this issue with you and your device. None of those extra steps should be needed if you have a reliable app that works! Whose going to pay for a subscription that you need to sit on a support call because the developer’s app doesn’t work? No one has time for such nonsense. I’m actually surprised this app is still available. Seems off with all the 1 star ratings that the ratings matrix isn’t updating reflecting the recent and consistent 1 star ratings.

Can’t get through an episode

I’m trying to watch Dexter and I can’t get through one episode without multiple glitches. It will either skip backwards like a broken record, replaying the same 5 seconds over and over, or it will freeze or just go black. I either have to wait for it to start working again or switch between watching on my tv and iPad just to finish one episode. The same thing keeps happening on both. I know it’s not a network issue on my end bc no other streaming service is having trouble connecting or streaming. I tried downloading the episodes to see if I could watch it all the way through that way, but it won’t download either. If this doesn’t get fixed soon, I won’t have showtime anymore. It’s not worth paying for if I can’t actually watch something all the way through.UPDATE: Responding with “let us troubleshoot with you” won’t fix the problem. The problem isn’t on my end. It’s obviously a problem on your end bc if you look at the reviews, especially the recent ones, everyone is having the exact same problem. The few recent 5 star reviews all say the same thing (“Dexter/Showtime is the best!”) and I’m starting to wonder if those are even real people reviewing this app or you guys trying to keep your rating up.

Needs user interface improvement.

I enjoy the content however the App needs serious improvement. When watching multiple episodes, there should be an option to skip the opening theme. When the show ends, there should be an option to skip the credits and start the next episode instead of playing through the entire credits. There is no good fast forward button when watching content. The tracking function to fast forward doesn’t show the time as your are advancing. There is poor organization as far as choosing an episode when watching a show. Why have all of the shows just out and cluttering the screen, when you could organize them into season folders?Do yourselves a favor and look at what Netflix and HBO do as far as their user interface and how their apps are set up and do likewise.

GOOD SHOWS, TERRIBLE TERRIBLE APP!

This is the worst most joke of a streaming service app out of all of them which is baffling since its showtime.. i cant even find a way for help other than showtime claiming its my problem on my end when its theirs, just like many others are claiming. Im so disappointed that i have been paying monthly for an app that glitchy at best, and UNUSABLE at times.. while watching any show or movie you may or may not get interrupted with it stopping, loading and saying “cannot play title” or something of the sort. Then you close the app over and over and it wont let you resume that same title but will allow you to start a new movie or show but cant finish what you were watching. Id give it NO STARS if it were an option. I want a refund for the months that Ive had this unusable app and i will be canceling when I'm done writing this review unless something is done to fix it.

What’s to view????

So I signed up for a months free trial I gave them all my credit card information ready to go to see what you have for me I couldn’t even see that before I gave you my information but anyhow I’m ready to go when I go back there and inspect the opening screen again the one after you decide to try it well it won’t let me go anywhere it says continue so you tap the button continue and then said no you’ve already subscribed so you hit the OK button thinking you’re going to go somewhere you go nowhere I’ve done this like 14 times I went back and re-opened it there’s somebody want to tell me what’s wrong with your program so far all I’ve done is giving you my information to charge me in a month I would like to watch a movie or two at that price to get in touch with me and get me on here so I can watch some movies please
