Ratings and Reviews
I genuinely hate this app
It is unable to track which episodes are you watching or how far along are you in the episode. Your watch history is incorrect and not up to date. Always an episode behind. Doesn’t adapt the quality of the stream well. Also (resume or watch from start) buttons everytime you open the episode?? Even if it’s a minute ago? My TV doesn’t play this app. I have tried restarting and downloading and and , nothing works.
Miss the old Showmax already
As a consumer who uses Showmax daily, I hate how flawed the new one is. It feels like a downgrade. When streaming a series it freezes from time to time and will only have the audio on with a frozen picture till it catches up in real time after like 10 seconds. You have to download that episode in order to watch it properly with no glitches yet before I could stream perfectly well with no freezing. When downloading an episode of something, it does not give the option to view more information on that show, there is only an option to press play. In order to go to the last viewed episode you have to scroll all the way to the bottom and find that episode yourself unlike how the old Showmax would automatically redirect you to the last episode. As much as it gives you the option to watch the last viewed episode, sometimes we download to watch offline. Even the pixel resolution on my screen now seems darker yet it was perfectly bright before. I honestly wish I could go back.
Annoying shortfalls
Okay, so the presentation looks flashier - so what. They could have used the update to make some better functionality, but rather made it a bit more annoying.
- When looking at info about a show, the is NO HOME BUTTON, so you have to back track through all the shows you had been browsing through before.
- The viewing controls close too quickly, so you want to drag forward or back on the video you are left thumping away at the screen in the hope of catching the drag line quickly enough before it disappears.
- In the view-within-view mode the app just CLOSES after each episode!
- They really have traded off having some silly new avatars, against functionality. (Why did they bother? Some designer got a nice pay cheque while the IT folks got to push the project through super fast without time to try out functionality??)
