Freeform TV 12+

“Error, please try again later”

So when I’m watching my shows, I start a new episode and i finish it. There has been a couple times where I’m done watching my shows for the night and I go to bed. The next day, I go into Freeform and I try to pick up where I left off on my shows and it won’t let me watch them. This has been going on for about 2 and a half weeks now and I’m getting very frustrated with this issue because some of the shows I watch, I can’t view anywhere else because all the other TV apps don’t carry the same shows. So I’m done with Freeform until this issue has been solved. 1 star.

Very glitchy with chromecast

I 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.

What is freeform app like

I use the freeform app on an iphone 8plus. The app is easy to use, with no issues regarding playback or buffering. In fact the ONLY reason I didn’t give it 5 ⭐️ is because episodes contain ads. You earn points by watching shows with ads, which you can then exchange to watch ad free episodes. I can watch my freeform show on demand without ads... but a few episodes seem to be missing, forcing me to use the app. The app links to my television provider, so I don’t see why if it’s on demand free on my tv without ads... I have to sit thru ads on the app. The best work around for this is to have something else I’m doing at the same time (a book I’m reading, a craft project, use the ads as a bathroom break, grab a snack etc.). I can understand the need for ad revenue, without having to like ads being forced on me.
