I didn't even know these types of apps existed until I received a promotion from an app that was discontinued (Filmstruck). WOW!!! This is a gamechanger!!! I downloaded The movies anywhere app on my roku, and within seconds every movie I own from different apps appeared!!! Nothing short of amazing! Those complaining that there are no free movies are obviously clueless as to what they're downloading.
Reviews for Movies Anywhere
For an app that's required to stream movies, this is woefully inadequate. I use this app to stream movies for bed, and every night i have to try to reload a movie several times before it starts. Some movies on my playlist I've never watched because they won't load, it starts like it will then kicks you back. For an app that's required to watch Marvel movies, that's disappointing.
Wish I could like this app, but when I log in, two of my movies (Shin Godzilla and Power Rangers), don't appear in my list, and when I link to other accounts, those films only appear in Vudu, and I can't seem to use that app either. waste of time in my opinion. if I could get all my films linked to my Prime account, like the app said it did, things would be different.
This app works part of the time. Sometimes refuses to play movies at random and holds them hostage. Will be looking for a new app that plays my purchased digital movies. edit: yes, I cleared cache, forced stop, uninstalled and reinstalled. This has been going on for months as shown by other reviews yet nothing is being done. You. Will. Lose. Business.
Movies Anywhere touts that you have the ability to connect all of your digital movie viewing accounts so you can watch your movies anywhere. What this app fails to follow through with is providing all of your movies. If MA does not have an agreement with the studio, your movie appears nowhere. Not quite so awesome. While you may have 50 movies you own, you will probably only be able to see half of them. Be warned. And in reply to the reply from MA: Obviously. Thus my review. Did you even read it?
I own over 350 movies on vudu and it's only showing 247.. Even when I try to search as if I were trying to buy the movies that are missing they don't even show up as an option to purchase. It's like they don't exist. For example, I own the new Sonic movie but when you search Sonic on the app there are 0 results, same with a bunch of other movies. Its almost as if the app isn't allowed to offer certain titles.... Not sure but it's definitely a bummer
do not download this app. you can load your movies but you will not be able to watch them and then you can't move them to watch them on any other app. Customer service never calls you back. And once they have your movies you can't move them to a different app. Try anything else Do NOT use movies anywhere ever. I'm currently missing 8 digital movies because of this app. F*** this.
very glitches. There have been many times when we've been out of town, and randomly EVERY video that we've downloaded is blocked, saying we don't have the digital certificate, or something. And the only solution is to re-download everything. great concept, terrible execution. And get your act together with the missing studios like lions gate, already. it's inexcusable.
I had no idea that I could combine all of my purchase movies into one app. Ever since I had to start accessing my Google Play movies in YouTube I really disliked it because it took like six more steps to get to my movies. Which when You have young children navigating through apps the less steps the better! Now I just get on Vudu, because I tend to buy most of my movies on there, but I can watch all of my movies from all of my apps on there. Very satisfied with this app!
Been using the service for almost 3 years now on on different devices. Love the new lists, just wish they would play consecutively non-stop, like a play list, hopefully that might happen later. Great service & app, especially like being able to watch my movies on any platform I want, no matter where it was purchased. Hopefully more studios will join in soon but that's not MA's fault. One other improvement I'd really like to see is pricing for all the movies, like how it's shown on the sales.
