I just purchased a subscription and am a little frustrated by poor usability. I was watching a show and it minimized the show into a thumbnail near the end while it's still playing. Also, at the end of an episode you can't select play next. Instead, you have to back out and find the next episode on the app. The website isn't much better. I'm happy with the selection, the lack of ads, so it's more of a minor complaint, but still annoying.
Reviews for AMC+
If you want to search for something, the app goes offline. If you want to go to settings, the app goes offline. If you want to continue watching what you finally were allowed to watch... The app either goes offline or fails to connect etc... Why?!... just why can't I get through at least one click or one full episode/movie without this happening... This is infuriating.
I enjoy that I can make a list. However , I absolutely hate that I can't see what's on the live channels, there is no titles given and it's always a mystery what you're watching. No guide, no nothing. I used to use the AMC+on the Roku channel and I loved it so much more, layout and all. Only thing I couldn't do was make a list. I also don't like how in the descriptions, years aren't given. Most of the time I can't even get live to even load. Such a shame for the price you pay
First, I would like to start off by saying I paid for the ad free version and still get 30 seconds of amc ads every time I start a new show. False advertising for the Ad free version. Second, I was at a friend's trying to cast to a TV. The cast button is grayed out, so I couldn't cast. Then i did a smartview from my phone, and the show would play for a few seconds. Then, the app would say it couldn't play the video. Third please fix the aforementioned because I enjoy your programs.
Constantly crashes, slow, isn't the easiest to use. There's no way to access the show you're watching except from the continue watching page or to search it. If you want to go back an episode, you have to search the show and go the long way. And even though I pay for "ad free", I still see ads. I don't care what you want to call it, if it plays before I can watch my show, and it's advertising something they own, it's considered an ad😒 at least give me the option to skip them
Do not buy! Worst streaming app! Pauses and disconnects from streaming to TV constantly. And if you need closed captioning (CC) do not use this platform! Subtitles show for the first sentence and then are stuck. When you stop watching mid-show and you reopen app, it doesn't show you where you left off as far as far as the last shows you watched. You have to go to the search bar and type in the title of the show. Not worth the $, wait for Netflix.
I can't get past the main selection! This app worked fine when I first subscribed to a year's worth of service, but after the first few weeks of watching it I can't seem to access any of the shows or movies!!! I keep getting an error message saying two exceptions occurred. That's crazy and obsurd!!! What a waste of money! I want a refund on ALL the days I have not been able to access this appt, I feel like I've been robbed of my money. My contract with them should be honored in whole.
It took me a total of 3 days to be able to finish one episode. That's because the app kept glitching and then stopping, it stopped working if I raised the volume from my phone, it stopped working if I turned on the caption and usually after a couple of minutes, it just stopped working because why not. I have uninstalled it and re-installed several times... Didn't help. And even though I paid for ad free content, an ad still played before the episode, with no problems. This app deserves 0 stars.
Have to go through loops to cancel. I subscribed for trial, got emails about the subscription. Then when I tried to sign in to cancel trial my email didnt exist. chat support said there was a typo but they fixed it. I was able to cancel trial but didnt get an email confirmation because of the "typo". Yet when I first subscribed I got a few emails about what to watch, etc. Just very odd and not an easy process to access account information.
Decent selection of shows and movies, especially with Shudder. However, where other apps have the mini player when I go back to my home screen, this one does not. Really frustrating from a paid app. Also, I paid for the ad-free version and AMC+ plays their own unskippable ads every time I start watching something. That's really annoying, too. App seems to work fine otherwise, but I've only been using it for a couple of days.
