Nice app to have

I especially like that I can get show synopses on here--especially for all the seasons of my shows like SVU, Chicago Fire, & Chicago PD. Thanks!

Awesome

Incredibly helpful!

Well...so far so good!!

Just got the app and went online to register the account. I had fun on both, but so far Im loving my app. Lots of older shows and movies which I enjoy best, so many choices!! ?❤️???

Super convenient - love this app!!

This app never disappoints - easy to use and always reliable. Thank you!!

Still cant get over the hump

Update: little from the below April review has changed. I did contact Fan regarding HBO films not showing up and they corrected. Kudos for that. Unfortunately other issues outlined below remain. If I were to sum up: - Starz still not a listed streaming source - no Trakt sync. This is a popular feature offered by competitors. - data issues; less than there used to be but still present - no list sorting, within lists or sorting of the lists themselves. Primary issues can be summed up with three words...data, data, DATA. Tv database is inconsistent at best and, other times downright bizarre. Same episode listed 8 times - why? Directing to best streaming option used to be Fan TVs strength. Now it too is becoming a weakness. Just today I noted three films available on my HBOGo app that are showing as available there on Fan (The Nice Guys, Boss, Keanu). Still nice that we can create lists. Still not nice that we have no options to sort that list. Neither can we sort the lists themselves by list title or anything else. Cmon Fan ...these are the basics. Get the data right and offer the standard basic features (sorting). Tested same titles missed by Fan on two other apps that also provide streaming source - Yidio and JustWatch. Both got it right. In addition, I never see repeating titles there. Seems they have data right. While you can track watched and watchlist - neither offers powerful list features. This is where IMDB comes in. Not only is the list building strong but the data tends to be top of the class. That said, IMDB only includes Amazon as a streaming source. So best options now would include a combination of IMDB and Yidio or JustWatch. Fan has had a long time to get it together and they just dont seem interested. Support is light as well. Too bad - you had potential.

Works great for what I need

Ive not read others reviews, just leaving my own. Had this app about a year now. Works great for when Im trying to see what show/ movie is playing where. Much better than flipping through Netflix, Hulu, Amazon...

Solid for Discovering Where to Watch

If you need to figure out where you can watch some particular show, those app does a solid job. Recommended.

It needs one more feature

The app is good if you dont want to go thru so many movie and tv apps to find out whats trending or if your favorite show is now available at different platforms. FanTV is short of becoming Plex in content, FanTV has all the great parts of Interface and availability of show to what app but if it can also serve as a media player for my stored movies, thats where I see this app soaring. Build it and they will come!

Turning around at the first sign of trouble

Opened the app and tried to paste a long movie title in the search, but the app designers decided that their super-hip design was too precious and didnt need basic, universal functionality like that. A minor flaw, but it is enough of a red flag about their approach to usability that I dont really want to spend time trying to work in an app whose designers are so navel-gazing over their work that common conventions get thrown out the window. Hey guys, pull out of your app and look sound, the rest of us live in a larger world of shared conventions.

So far, so great!!

This app is so handy - way more so than its competitor. The information seems up to date and its easy to search for shows. Its also handy for receiving recommendations on similar shows. Thanks for the great app!

So helpful!

Great app to help me find what I want to watch across my viewing platforms!

Brilliant

Its all there. Thank you.

Perfect for what I want

I love this app and Ive had it for years.

Awesome. So helpful.

I use it all the time!

Useless - test a movie you know is streaming

Just tried multiple movies clearly streaming on Amazon, Netflix and Hulu - and it never showed anything but the "rental" options - clearly false results, no longer a viable app

Brings order to chaos

I have cable TV and a number of TV & Movie subscription services (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) and FanTV makes it easy to find things to watch on all of them, making those services worth keeping and more enjoyable. ?

Love it!

I love this app! It helps me organize the shows that I watch and does it and I neat and creative way. It is easy to use and run smoothly. Informative and user-friendly!

Love the app!!!

You should get it

Update: basic features not working

I dont know which update made the app fall apart but the daily activity feed stopped working, months ago. Ive had to start relying on getting the emails but even those are buggy...sometimes images dont load or they keep emailing the same programs as, now, being available. Just need the basic features to work so that I can quickly identify which shows and movies are available for viewing! Ive started going into the individual apps to find programming. Ready to delete since FanTV is not convenient, anymore.

Binging made Easy

Easy to find shows in one place. No more searching through multiple apps. An app Id pay for!
