AMC+ | TV Shows & Movies 12+

I subscribed to this because of a Black Friday deal they were offering and because I really wanted to see A Discovery of Witches. I am giving it 2 because I like the content and I have been able to discover more shows that I enjoy. Otherwise, I would give the actual app zero stars if I could. Cannot create profiles-seriously? This is the very first thing I noticed and still bugs me. Every streaming app has profiles. My wife and I watch different things and it would be nice to have different profiles to differentiate between the two of us. Navigation-absolutely horrible. You have to back all the way out, find the tv series again and then the season then the episode to resume where you stopped watching. Overall navigation is extremely poor. Next episode-does start the next episode. Doesn’t even give you settings to allow the next episode to play or not. Signing in-If I have been out of the app for a while, let’s say 24 hours, I have to log in again. Every time. That is annoying. We live in a world of streaming and other streaming services have set a bar on functionality and this app is not even close to that bar. I have seen similar posts going back months but yet nothing has been updated or done to correct any of the issues mentioned and that is very unfortunate. Unless there are some drastic changes, I will not be continuing my subscription.

I have no clue why this app only carries a 1.4 rating. It has just about everything that the other services have. A bonus is that it is plumb affordable compared to some of the others. It might not have individual profiles, that can’t be worth a degrading 1.4!! How hard can it be to share a service with your family members without individual profiles? It’s not! I can EASILY recognize the shows that I’ve added to the “My List”. I can also tell which ones must have been added by my wife or kids. Just because your wife’s choice of a show has been saved, that doesn’t mean that you have to watch it before you can get to a show that you saved. I installed AMC+ app on my Apple TV 4K box and registered directly through it. I selected their annual “Ad-Free” plan, of course! I read complaints from other users complaining about having to watch ads despite paying for Ad-Free. Apparently AMC+ is their very first streaming service that features “Livestream”. That’s the only way they’d be seeing ads. I have other streaming services with “Livestreams” and those apps ALSO have ads during those broadcasts. This whole app has bad reviews from all the same people that use Yelp to leave bad restraunt reviews. If you don’t have anything good to say, say nothing at all. If you aren’t electronic savvy, why do you have a phone and TV that are smarter than you?!?!

I’m only rating 5 stars because I hope people will see this (for whatever reason my 1 stars on the App Store never get posted. Go figure). Firstly, I absolutely cannot stand any service that requires me to cancel my subscription OUTSIDE of the app. That’s so scummy and unnecessary and I think these services do this to deter people from going through the effort or in an effort to confuse people who may not know how to do so. I signed up for a free 1 week trial and cancelled on the last day because I couldn’t find anything I was interested in watching. I don’t remember my payment method (I think it was my CC) but I had to go to the AMCplus website on my desktop in order to cancel. It might be possible to do through the site on your phone but you have to use a browser and not the app. Sign in and go to the subscription tab to cancel and at the end verify “yes, cancel”. Also take a screenshot once cancellation is complete in case you are still charged despite canceling before the billing period because I’ve heard some people have still been charged. So have proof on hand. AMC, I might’ve kept my subscription if any content peaked my interest but even if that happens I won’t be subscribing to any service that doesn’t allow cancellation in the app.
