User Reviews for STARZ

App is terrible ( not a content review)

I don’t understand how this late in the game STARZ has such a terrible app. The interface isn’t good but the part that is most frustrating to me is that it’s nearly impossible to fast forward or rewind a show/movie. Dragging the bar at the bottom does not work to rewind/fast-forward, it just freezes the video then you have to hit pause then hit play for it to jump back to where you started from. I’ve had to use the 10-second jump feature to fast forward or rewind large parts of a video. And the best part is, when hitting the 10-second jump repeatedly, instead of rewinding/fast-forwarding 10-seconds, it only goes 6-seconds. I’m not paying for a streaming app where the basic features don’t work. The ability to rewind/fast-forward is something I’ve always taken for granted because no other streaming service has a problem with this, it’s such a basic functionality. I just paid for the first month after a free trial, but this is not worth it and I’ll be cancelling. There’s way too many other options with good content out there to pay for an app that has a lazy, outdated interface and lacks basic functionality.

Content is amazing app is horrible?

I’m under 40 so I watch everything on my phone through the app. I will watch a show on the STARZ app; I’m 15-minutes into an episode. Then I will have to pause it just to check something really quick. If I stay paused too long it totally clears the show out. When I’m done with what I’m doing and go back to the app—- I’ve been put back at the stars main page.🙄 Shockingly - there is NO quick access thumbnails of my recently viewed shows listed on the main page. So I have to scroll and search for my show again. Once I click on it. It starts the entire show episode over 🥴😳🙄sooooo I think.🥱 It’s actually playing the PREVIOUS episode i watched and it’s starting it from the beginning!!!😳😳. Like even Before the previews/ advertisements. Then it starts playing and in order to get to the next episode you have to fast forward all the way through that episode. the app makes the entire experience very unappealing to go back to watch a show when it puts you back At The beginning previous episode? It’s like why even bother. I quit my trial. Any company who this innovative and progressive in the content it provides but doesn’t bother putting any effort into the manner in which the content is delivered because they assume(Wrongly) that most are watching this on TV when the fact of the matter is statistically most Americans are watching this on the telephone. Therefore the app working is vital. Netflix knows that, HBO knows that, and so should STARZ.

App Review, Not Content (device iPad Pro)

First, the app content is good. My issue/frustration is with the functionality of the app itself. My biggest pain point (and it’s a big one for me) is that the app times out quickly and the video closes, especially whenever my iPad screen times out. So, say I hit Pause on a video for more than a minute or two and/or step away from my iPad long enough for the screen to lock, when I return, I have to reopen STARZ, and re-navigate to the video I was watching from the STARZ home screen. This also occurs when I switch between apps. Whenever STARZ is temporarily moved to the background, I have to search all over again. This is the only app I’ve encountered that does this, making it especially noticeable. Also, other apps have the PIP “drawer” functionality where you can slide a video off screen and return to it. This is not the case in STARZ... the video disappears, and again, if it has been a significant amount of time, I have to re-navigate back. It’d be nice to have quicker access to the main menus, and to time out on the active content’s description screen (but keep the video window open if in PIP mode).

App not STARZ network

STARZ for those somehow unfamiliar is a great cable network with lots of exciting original shows (like black sails). Now onto the iPad app. I am running this on an iPad Pro with a Verizon FIoS internet connection for baseline.Pros: The app is fast enough at pulling content and the video streaming is extremely reliable (even when my connection is heavily loaded I still get perfect video). It is easy to find videos (sometimes when searching for a term it suggests some bizarrely related content, but not really an impediment)Cons: as someone else noted the app basically closes when in the background, like leaving to view a text message, and it doesn’t have a good “resume your last video” when you leave the app (or allow PIP) so you get to go searching (the fun of discovery?). I am assuming the content creators didn’t tag stuff reliably. Recently in the middle of a viewing session (halfway through a show 😳) it suddenly decided I don’t have STARZ service on my cable provider (my appleTV has no such problem and I can and do watch STARZ on my cable box) and when I try to reconnect it says that a) your network [verizon] doesn’t have STARZ (they do) and that my account doesn’t either (I do). Sigh… (that’s a breaking feature essentially)

Blinded by Blindspotting

I honestly didn’t watch the original movie but I saw the trailer for the show and it really looked interesting! I enjoyed the show very much and the story line too. I will definitely go and watch the movie or prequel to see Miles and Collin’s story as well but I have to say Ashley’s story was very relatable to women and especially single mother’s everywhere. Trish’s character was an added bonus and a true joy, alongside her mom, Janell and Mama Nancy as well. Supporting characters make the show & although Earl was a little odd to be in the mix, it helped to have that older brother/ father figure there for Shawn. I was blinded in a good way and I enjoyed the interpretive dancing that brought out the feels within the story. I’m praying for a second season and continuation to the story. Maybe Miles can get let out early for good behavior? I hope so! Awesome show👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Definitely have some issues to work out

I hold large, multi billion dollar companies to very high standards and this app really misses the mark. The actual content is great, I’ve had plenty of hours of entertainment. Its always on in the background when I do just about anything. With that being said, I really wish it would offer split screen. Since iOS14 came out, almost all of my video apps will go to the corner or run in the background while I use my phone. This app doesnt and its sooo annoying. Currently, the Seduction series is airing and Im super anxious! its amazing! but i have no way of knowing when ill be able to see the newest episode. there’s absolutely no information on any of the movies or shows. It’s annoying i cant take care of anything regarding my acct in the app, it opens Safari which is annoying. just a ton of little inconveniences makes it less than stellar and in my opinion, with all of the competitors, it should really be doing more. It needs a new UI, I want specific dates when things are coming, etc. All in all, its fine and definitely worth the money if you get your membership on a discount.

Starz Review

I love the Starz original shows, so far I’ve seen Outlander which was really good, and now I’m watching Black Sails and am really enjoying that as well. Really keeps me entertained and wanting to find out what happens next! I only have one issue with the app which I wish could be resolved. When I go onto any other app such as Netflix or Disney Plus I could watch a show on the TV, and then later or the next day go onto my phone and go back to where I left off, and then back to TV, and so on and so forth. With this app I will go onto my phone and it does not do that. For example, I am now watching Black Sails, when I went onto my phone the other day and opened the app, I selected my account, and it didn’t even show where I left off at, and it showed that I was still watching Outlander when I finished that show months ago. Something isn’t syncing from watching the app on the TV, to the phone, or to the computer. I wish that this issue was resolved, cause sometimes when I’m sitting in a waiting room or somewhere I just want to pull out my phone, plug in my headphones and watch the show or movie I’m on, and where I left off at. Also, when I searched Black Sails on my phone, it showed that none of the episodes were watched, so it’s not just where I left off at, it’s also not registering that I’ve seen any of it at all. Please fix this glitch, it will make me very happy!

The best, short lived

Right now, I’m watching American gods. I’m in love with the show, but I’m worried. Let me explain why: I first got involved with STARZ for the show Spartacus. A show I often describe to people who have never seen it as “gods gift to men who watch tv” the death of Andy was tragic, and no one could ever fill his roll, but the fallowing “gods of the arena” was excellent. “War of the dammed” was epic and by then Ian had really stepped into the character of Spartacus. We all knew it had to end sometime, but I wanted so much more than what I got. The same go’s with “black sails” as amazing as it was, it felt short. The subject matter was there. Blackbeard, long John silver. It could have kept going. And don’t get me started on “ash vs the evil dead” I understand that the show was a victim of piracy, but the fan base was there. Canceling that show made STARZ weaker as a service. I’m not interested in “power” definitely not “p-valley” I know “outlander” is a popular show, but it’s not for me. Right now, for me “American gods” is carrying the subscription. Please don’t cancel it. And I’d like to see more shows like it.

Outlander

Best series I have EVER watched. The reality, creativity and emotional and physical chemistry between two actors and the supporting actors is unlike anything I’ve ever seen! The thought to detail and the respectful way each incidence is brought forth. The historical realness of what was going on in those years and correctness is amazing, from the clothing to the tools and transportation of the times! But the love story and the strength of two people that time cannot weaken and what they go through to be together…what it stirs within you cannot be matched! I hope this series continues to go on for years to come!! Diana Gabaldon is a genius and the production of her books to small screen is the best! Let’s see it through to her book 10 and any side books she may have to go with it! Everyone I talk to is watching Outlander and can’t get enough of it! They are willing to go long periods until the creation of the next season! To end it before book 10 is finished would be a travesty! We all want as much Jamie and Claire and their story as we can get!!

Does not allow the use of stars app

The description says that we can use the starz app but after signing up to the starz monthly app and tried to sign into the starz app I get a log in error. I have tried on all my devices iPad Pro, iPhone 7, apple tc 4K, Samsung 4K tv and non apple devices. I am locked to ONLY using the tv app (to watch starz content via the starz Apple TV channel).I contacted starz and they said apple needs to release our credentials to them because as of now starz cannot see a subscription when signed up via the Apple TV channel. I also contacted apple and after an hour of chatting they finally told me that starz monthly subscription is ONLY allowed for use with the tv app via apple devices or smart TVs with the tv app and NOT the starz app. I told the rep that the current description is misleading and should be revised to let us know that we CANNOT use the starz app with this subscription and we CANNOT use the starz monthly app with our current tv provider unless that’s still in the works and will be available soon and is so please let us know in the app description as well.
