Freeform TV for Negative User Reviews

FIX IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I’ve loved freeform ever since I was little and when I found out they had the app I jumped at the opportunity to get it and once I got it I was able to watch shows when I wanted & where I wanted and then after couple of weeks it kept saying “oops it needs to re-authenticate” but now I can’t watch any of my movies and I’ve tried turning off the phone I’ve tried deleting the app and nothing is worked and now I can’t watch the shows that I love I have to watch it on Netflix and that’s not the purpose of the app so please fix it:).Version: 5.0.11

Could do betterIt’s a great app but it’s very annoying to have so many commercials. Why not just 2-3. Why six. Also every time it freezes when i go to play the episode it restarts from the beginning again. Takes forever to load. Then when i speed on forward to where I’m supposed to be commercials come again. It literally takes me too long to watch just one episode. Please update your app. Thanks..Version: 5.0.0

ConfusedThis app is great and I have been watching my favorite shows, but when I spent 60 coins on an episode so I can watch without ads it kept saying there was an error and to retry, I’ve been relying for the last 10 minutes and it didn’t work, but when I clicked the other button which says to earn coins by watching ads the episode has no problem downloading and there’s no error and I don’t have to retry but when I go back to the episode where I spent money there’s a problem. Please help fix that mistake..Version: 6.3.1

ANNOYEDThere are way too many ads. Sometimes an ad will show twice in a row and that will happen multiple times. I just got a 4 minute ad. Also, it glitches and makes it hard to slide through the episode. Still going to use it though, but I would appreciate if those issues were fixed. What the eff guys. These ads are stupid and I keep having to watch them way too much. Like I’ll be watching it and then it’ll say “oops there was a problem so retry” and I’ll retry and it’ll make me watch a full set of ads again. Jesus.Version: 6.1.3

Commercials FreezingWhenever I connect this app with my Chromecast, the commercials always freeze on the last one. I have to hit play/pause repeatedly, close the app, etc just to continue. This sometimes causes the show to start over, and again the cycle of freezing commercials. It takes an hour and a half to watch a 45 minute program. I never have this issue with other streaming applications that I connect to Chromecast. Also a reduction in commercials would be very helpful..Version: 5.0.5

Love the shows but frustrating quirksI really love this app but....whenever I watch it the Uber commercial repeatedly gets stuck and stays frozen and I have to go out of whatever show I’m watching to get rid of it and then when I go back in the commercials start over from the beginning...very frustrating. Also when I’m watching the app on my fire stick I have put in my tv provider but it continuously doesn’t recognize it....so it just refreshes and won’t allow me to watch the new shows..Version: 5.0.11

I’ve never been so irritated then when using this appWhenever I am watching a show, the app forgets my progress in the show every single time i sit down to watch, so I constantly have to guess where I left off. To make that even more annoying, every couple minutes I have to sit through 3 minutes of commercials, making it impossible to scroll through and find my place in the show without watching ten minutes of commercials. Even if I lightly tap the screen, the progress bar will go all the way to the end of the episode and I then have to sit through more of these terrible commercials (the same ones every single time) to find where I was. Sometimes the app will even say 2 minutes of commercials, and then it will say 0 seconds left and just play another one. I am giving up on my show halfway through, and I wish I could give this app zero stars..Version: 5.1.4

Uggggggg... why ruin what was AMAZING?!I hate the new update. No more Freeform points. I really liked them because it was something unique about the app and you could earn watching with no adds. Also while watching the adds it doesn’t say how much time it has left only the amount of adds. And with the new update my progress was lost on a couple of shows. WORST UPDATE EVER. Truly disappointed. Used to be my favorite app, now my least favorite. Make it good again please?!.Version: 10.4.0

Are the ads really worth it?At first, I was thinking, “Oh, yeah. I can binge ShadowHunters with ads. It’s no big problem” But no, it is a big problem. I’ve seen more ads then I have of the first episode. It’s such an annoyance, every 5-10 minutes more ads pop up and they’re not the usual 15 or 30 second ads you can push the “X” on, they’re 2 minutes long and multiple ads. It really just Pulls you out of the show and makes you wanna say “it’s easier watching on Tv than on this app”, I have yet to know or understand how to work the whole coins and no ads (Nonstop watching) thing and I’ve checked “Help”, “Settings”, and “Stream quality” nothing on how to activate it. Best take your luck on some streaming site to really invest yourself into the show and truly get the Netflix style binge. You’re not gonna find it on this app..Version: 6.0.2

No rewardsNot a fan of all these commercials now. Not only that, but they took away the rewards system completely and for those of us that don’t have a home(no reason to have a cable provider) the free shows were all we had. The rewards system was worth it because you could at least watch a few episodes commercial free. Now it’s just so annoying that I don’t even think I want to use the app anymore. I’d rather watch them free online, on another website..Version: 10.4.0

Needs workWhen i got the app to watch shadow hunters and all of the previous wonderful shows on there, I’ve had a few issues with it. Theres always an error message that occurs and i can never get the second episode to load (shadow hunters) but if i go around choosing different shows to watch, it’ll play. Another thing is WHY THE 3-6 ADVERTISEMENTS. I want to watch the show but find it super unnecessary to have that many advertisements. Last thing, whats the point of making an account? All i have to do is connect to my tv provider and it’ll play any of the shows without logging in. Really pointless.....Version: 5.0.2

Not Letting Me Log InI think this app would be fine if I was able to access my TV provider. I logged into my AT&T account through my wi-fi provider, which worked fine, but then it wouldn't stop showing me the error message that my cable provider doesn't have the freeform network. I checked my TV and low-and-behold, I have the freeform network with my TV package. I also tried logging in with the ABC app, which had the same results. I'm not going to contact my TV provider about this because I know that I have the Freeform and ABC channels included in my TV package, so there isn't anything wrong on my provider's end, this is a problem with the app..Version: 10.21.0

App needs a reformLove the shows on FreeForm however I hate the app. I don’t know if anyone else experiences these issues but lately for shows that I have never watched, it starts the episode either in the middle of the show or near the end. No one else uses my log in so it’s just me using this app. On top of that, it’s nearly impossible to start the episode over or even just fast forward or rewind. The status bar for the episode is awkwardly at the bottom and so close to the bottom that it does even recognize when I’m trying use my finger to swipe back or forward to the point in the episode I want. I can never ever get it to go all way back to the beginning of an episode because of how the bar is placed. The furthest back I can go is 0:22. I use an IPhone 7 Plus so maybe the experience is different for others..Version: 5.0.3

Equally as terrible as MTV appNever thought another app could be just as bad as the MTV app but here we are. At first i thought it was just because I was trying to cast my show on an older iPad & the first version of the Chromecast. So I decided to try it with my new phone and with my new chromecast to see if that made things better. It didn’t. Everytime the ads start usually only 2 go by and then the screen goes black and stops playing even though its still connected and my internet signal is good. Don’t waste your time with this and just cast it from the website yourself with an adblocker so you get no interruptions because its not like they’re using the money from the ads to better the app anyways. Can’t wait for my show to get cancelled or for it to finally end so I dont have to use this site again..Version: 5.0.3

Needs WAY less ads!!This app is great but the ads are horrible. You watch way more ads than you actually do your show. They also show the same ads too so it gets really boring. I get very frustrated with this app because I will get done watching 2:00 minutes of ads and then you watch one minute of your show and then your watching another 2:00 minutes of ads. Love it but needs work..Version: 5.0.11

Missing feature on iPad?First of all the app works just fine. If what you’re looking for is to watch TV, you won’t be disappointed. On the iPad however, it’s not possible to multitask. There is no picture-in-picture and it doesn’t let you do split screen, so whenever I want to watch something I can’t really do anything else without. Since most video streaming apps have at least one of those features by now, it feels interrupting to have the video completely pause when I need to do something like check my email..Version: 10.9.0

Too many ads!! And too many “errors”I downloaded this app specifically to watch the Teal Swan documentary The Deep End. I was never able to watch more than a few minutes without ads, which is a mild inconvenience. But the problem is after the ads an error will generate and takes you back to the beginning of the episode. I did this about 10 times and I had spent 1 1/2 hour trying to watch a 45 min show and I was only have through!!! Least favorite streaming service to date which is so unfortunate because I REALLY want it to that. I hope it gets fixed but I’m deleting the app for now.Version: 10.25.0

Very glitchy with chromecastI use this app to cast to my television through the chromecast device. This app works fine if you watch a show from start to finish and don’t touch anything. However, if god forbid you pause or rewind, you won’t be able to watch that show again. Rewinding it makes it jump at least ten minutes AHEAD and it refuses to rewind once it starts doing that. Every time you rewind again after it’s jumped ahead, it actually starts even further ahead than the last time it decided to go in the opposite direction. If you shut down the app completely, it still remembers where you last paused ....which is where it decided to jump ahead. And that show is essentially locked at a time point you don’t want until the app forgets you ever tried to watch that show. I don’t know how long that takes because it hasn’t happened for me. You spend more time trying to get it to PLEASE EFFING REWIND than you do watching the show. As I’m writing this, I’ve wasted a half hour trying to get through a show I’d only made through 15 minutes of. So, for now, I deleted the app. I don’t have the patience for this..Version: 5.0.11

AwfulThere are so many shows I love on this app that aren’t anywhere else. However, the app constantly crashes or gives me error messages. The Freeform app on my smartTV refused to work so I started casting it to my TV from my phone and that worked fine all week, until now. Right now the app gives me an error when I open it and it won’t even let me do anything. It’s so frustrating. I have emailed support and all I got back is a general response, which I didn’t need bc I’ve done everything, I’ve deleted/reinstalled, my Wi-Fi and connection are fine but I refreshed them anyway, I’ve closed other running apps, I’ve restarted everything. It’s the glitches with the app itself. Guess I’ll be heading back over to the CW because I literally don’t have the patience for this anymore....Version: 5.1.4

Awful App, cant FF, just gets stuck in a loop all the timeThis app is disturbingly bad. It’s 2021 and this app might be the worst app I’ve ever used. Playing normal shows is extremely difficult. Can’t FF, can’t rewind, and it just jumps to random stages in the shows, sometimes on a 1 second loop and sometimes not. I restarted my phone, I deleted the app and re installed it, still the same issues. I’ll cast a show to my tv, it will cast properly, but then on my phone there is no way to FF, or rewind, or pause because the app still thinks there is an ad playing. How the company/person who made this app still has a job is mind blowing. It is a tremendously below par app that can’t handle simple functions. It’s embarrassing for free form. This app is the worst app I’ve ever used..Version: 10.12.0
