Customer Reviews

• FOX TV APP

  by NylleSirrom

  The app is okay. I use it to catch up on shows I might have missed during my work week. Unlike the CBS app which doesn't show any current shows. I'm great for the service. Thanks

• The most perfect tv app available

  by 67134632

  Way better than most others. (HGTV is the worst, only 11 unlocked episodes)

• Awesome...

  by Mick Johnson, Ct.

  I missed the first 3 episodes of Season Two, The Following. Because There is a Fox app, I was able to watch the first three FULL episodes. Not all network apps have full episodes. Fox does, and that was/is just freakin awesome...indeed! Further more, also included were the last two episodes of season one, so if one chose to, one could refresh ones memory and make a nice segue into the 2nd season. Heavy duty drama for those who haven't seen any of the show...I highly recommend you should go find season one...on iTunes, Netflix...wherever, but go man go.

• Not the best app but not the worst

  by Mannyacequeen

  It's ok but it crashes a lot

• Love it

  by Xio512

  I come home tired from work so i usually don't watch my show and this app help me catch up

• Needs more episodes

  by Frank Amadeus Jones

  Needs Brooklyn Nine-Nine episodes

• pretty good

  by Bodoon49

  it is definitely different and has alternate options from other apps, but is good in its own way. The additional provider thing is rough, but they all want to get paid.

• Used to love

  by madiissonn

  I used to love all the tv apps but now that you have to sign into you TV provider forget it... And then they don't have a lot of tv providers on there when you do try to sigh in... Hate this.

• Worth the download.

  by Rico Blanco

  Great app

• Don't get if...

  by Sulyana Guerrero

  You don't have a cable service provider. You don't like commercials. It just an okay app. It does what it's supposed to, but it does need improvement.

• Great but glitchy

  by Hahrhtush

  I love it but the adds are a bit glitchy

• Only to watch a show feb1/2014

  by Hshdhahxhshvshshsv

  It's ok I give it a 4 star rating

• Can't watch what I want...

  by Lexxee

  I'm not able to watch what I want...and it keeps crashing or says it's not optimized to watch on a mobile device, very frustrating!

• Locked shows

  by Chase2262

  I don't like how direct tv users are not allowed an option to watch locked shows. The app also crashes a good bit.

• App works great.

  by BBK1811

  Works well. Able to watch Fox shows anytime.

• Sign in troubles

  by Peeved follower

  This app would be an amazing app 5 stars hands down, but it will not let me sign in. When I say this I mean I click on the blue sign in button and nothing happens. It doesn't even go to a new screen. This is highly frustrating for a loyal customer.

• Works for me!

  by PzzaGrrl

  Less commercials than CW. Pretty straight forward & easy to get to my shows :)

• Awesome!

  by Zhioo32

  Thanks guys for streaming new episodes without having to sync or sign in with tv provider :)

• It has the movies I like.

  by Lighthouse ratt

  It's a great app but several I like are locked, but there's several I can watch. It's ok by me.

• Amazing!!!

  by Honey bunny Donny

  All I can say is.This app amazing!!

• Disappointed

  by Nanooksfhs

  You are asked to sign in with your cable provider to see anything worthwhile. If your provider isn't one of the 10 obscure providers on the list they say that you will have access to full episodes anyway - which is false. Deleted immediately.

• Doesn't let me log in

  by Thenotorious-D

  Doesn't let me log in

• Pile of trash

  by userReview63

  Worst video streaming app I've used on the iphone/iPad. It's lagging constantly...takes forever to navigate. Doesn't work with airplay either...what the what? Hire a real developer to fix this pile of junk... disappointed. Seems to me like the purposefully made a crap app to keep cord cutters from using it. Well I pay for cable and I just want to catch up on the eps of the following that I missed. Bring back Dollhouse!!!!!!!!

• No working

  by Chagergirl

  Every show I true to watch it cuts out. When looking for an episode it doesn't load. I have other Network apps &never have a problem with them. I have deleted & reinstalled and it still doesn't work.

• Ads

  by I5xswipe

  I have now watched the same Applebee's commercial 6 times trying to watch "Almost Human." Fox is stealing ad dollars, pissing fans off. I get fed 2 Applebee's commercials then a fox show ad, then the playing stops, never launching the show. Click play, the ads launch again.

• Horrible app

  by Zdc709666754431

  First- there are 3 commercials at every commercial break, all very long. Second- if you do not belong to one of a select few cable companies, you cannot watch half of the episodes. Horrible app. Deleting ASAP.

• Doesn't work

  by RhBWest

  Runs ads over and over and then hangs there...tried to watch season 1 ep 15 of The Following.

• Fox now

  by CTMGG

  HUGE disappointment! Can't open episodes unless you have some cable service. Sorry if you have direct TV you are outta luck. Can't watch!, BS

• Too many ads and can’t remember position in video

  by Emergingdzns

  That stupid Applebee’s commercial alone was enough to make me want to uninstall the app. The other problem was that taking a 3 minute phone call would time out the app (on my iPad) and the Fox app would close. Unlike EVERY other video app out there, it couldn’t remember where I was in the video when I pressed pause. Very irritating that I had to seek for the position AND sit through the same stupid commercials over again just to get there.

• Can't add provider

  by knavish

  I can't add my cable provider after it asks me to enter in zip code! Please fix!

• Like it but crashes too often

  by 21ped

  In the limited time I have reviewed this app video and captions are clear but each time I stop the show it crashed-please fix.

• Useless

  by TheProphetJames

  It's sad that FOX/CBS execs chose to block access to their content for non-cable subscribers. Welcome back to the 1970's. (Thanks NBC for not doing so).

• Junk

  by Deafgirlnamiko

  I don't have a cable provider and i will not ever be getting one. Since apparently i have to have one to watch Fox tv shows guess what? I won't be watching fox tv shows anymore. On a side note. U need to fire who ever designed this app layout. It's stupid. Waaaay too cluttered to navigate easily. Like playing Where's Waldo trying to find the one thing you want to find in the whole pile of junk.

• Commercials bug

  by Megan Raker

  I don't mind all of the commercials - that is to be expected with any of these tv apps. What is really the worst about this app, however, is that if you click on the screen during the commercial, you are redirected to the ad's site and there is no way to return to your show without closing the app and reloading your episode.

• Jumbled mess

  by Emmyb8

  This app appears to have been modeled after the design of Windows 8, but just ended up a mess. It is cluttered and irritating to use.

• Let us watch full episodes

  by Kanonkers

  You can do it on the computer why not on an idevice

• Doesn't support my cable provider.

  by Arabella rose

  I have Charter and it isn't supported.

• App doesn't work

  by Ms. LadyT

  I recently downloaded this app and it won't even open or appear as an icon on my iPad. Please fix these problems.

• Angry.

  by Poopbutt9

  This app is probably the worst app I ever downloaded. It's stupid how you have to but your tv provider in. That the point of the app to watch it whenever, however. Not to take 1000 years to set it up.

• Useless

  by Tskmt

  Completely useless if you don't have one of the cable networks on their list. You jump though hoops just to have issues watching anyway. Why can't they give everyone access to shows like every other station app does? Stupid.

• Ridiculous.

  by Not an emu

  I'm a DirectTV subscriber so I'm locked out of Fauxnow. Same with my Roku. What a load of nonsense.

• Useless App

  by Royal game boy

  Don't waste you time in downloading this app... It is a useless.

• "Locked" episodes; don't bother getting this app

  by Anonymous345664321

  At first, this app was good. If I missed an episode of a show, I could watch it using this app. However, recently Fox has decided to "lock" certain episodes. In order to access them, you need your cable provider. This is fine if you have cable, and your provider is supported on this app, but incredibly useless if you don't have cable.

• This is why I hate networks

  by Cydley99

  A sign in is required to watch full episodes. Apparently, my email is registered with a Fox Now account, but I am unable to A) sign in, or B) reset the password for the account. A failure all around, Fox. If you make it difficult for people to watch your content, guess what they will not do? That's right. Watch your content. Uninstalled.

• Won't work unless you can log in through cable/satellite

  by Mvsynv

  You can't watch full episodes unless you can log in through cable/satellite provider. Weep, womp. They let you watch week old episodes on their website (computer only), but not their app? They are basic broadcasting!

• Should I be surprised?

  by NotFox

  Where to begin? I got this app like all others, to watch this show on my phone or ipad at work or any other place where I was bored. This app does nothing but crash on the ads and make you click them then click the x to get back to the ad which surprisingly starts running again. I don't really care about the repeat ads, but when you go to commercial you get anxious and nervous your show won't come back on, you should be relaxing and you're not. Unless you have a provider, their pride and joy of Family Guy and American Dad are locked down. I think Seth McFarland had a hand in this and we all know it's about money. I should be surprised that this app doesn't work but Fox has never spent money wisely (i.e. Canceling Firefly and Drive to name only a few) I honestly hope Fox revamps themselves for better support of their viewers because they have that edge the other networks don't but can't stand behind their choices and cancel everything.

• Good app

  by Prayer2God

  Nice way to view shows on my phone

• Can't use with verizon fios

  by Macandbike

  I have verizon fios, a supported cable provider. When asked to enter fios username and password, the app does nothing. If I click on the 'sign in' button then nothing happens! Attempted to watch the following premier.

• Awesome

  by An7hony7777

  Great

• They give what viewers want

  by Andy Sznerch

  I down loaded this app so as to see shows I would have missed since I work nights. And, more importantly, I don't have to beg their permission to use the app ( like ABC's ) the following morning. Fox gives what their viewers want.

• No DirecTV support

  by Walt benj

  Just last week I was able to watch as a DirecTV user but already that's gone. Unless you support all providers these apps are pointless. It's broadcast folks. You're not even basic cable

• Very good

  by Emma2727Lee

  Let's me catch up on a missed episode of Sleepy Hollow, doesn't lag and the commercial breaks aren't that long

• Big

  by W@ste of T1me

  What is the point of having an app that is useless unless Fox plays nicely with the cable company? Big waste of time! No wonder people download shows illegally!

• Useless

  by Faith Updegraff

  I have Verizon as my cable provider, which is supported in my zip code. Sign In button doesn't respond no matter how many times it is pressed. What's the point? Even if your cable provider is supported, you can't sign in and watch episodes. Useless app.

• Works we'll but confusing

  by Ratman1117

  This website has the latest episode of anything by fox but it is hard to control and when u hit ur screen when an ad is playing you have to go to the ad X out of it and restart all the ads

• Works we'll but confusing

  by Renatosar

  I Like

• ANNOYING repeating ads

  by 555Anne

  App is a little disorganized as far as ease of viewing shows. But the worst part is seeing the SAME ad over and over every commercial break. Honestly, it makes me hate the product they're advertising just a little!!!

• Decent App. Needs to update faster

  by JaynesFirefly

  The app is just fine, but waiting for updated episodes can be frustrating. Other than that, would recommend to those who can't watch prime time.

• Awesome

  by Zentfam3

  I love that I can catch up on my shows and access to behind the scenes footage of my shows

• Great Ap!

  by PaapaWill

  Easy to use. Great way to catch up on favorite shows!

• ALL past episodes locked

  by Michayla Sullivan

  Most of the shows have all of the past few episodes locked-- not just the most recent episode. This means you have to have a subscription to a cable provider to access them. These past episodes are available on the web, so why not the app? Jumping to the app is easier, and Fox's web interface doesn't work on the ipad since shows won't play after an ad.

• Unusable

  by Guns-N-Chocolates

  Issues: 1) Lack of video bandwidth controls. Both programs AND ads need this, as it makes the app useless on slower internet providers, and expensive on cellular data. At least a 360 video mode should exist, if not 240 / SD. 2) Ad management bugs! After suffering through THREE minutes of choppy viewing of a 30s ad countdown, it didn't start the program but rather started a new 1.5m countdown -- totally skipping the program content. After 10m of choppy ads, it still didn't play content, but went to another 30s ad countdown. At this point I killed the app, and now plan to delete it. USELESS!

• !

  by Ttran2

  Don't download the app if you don't have cable! The other thing about this app is that you can't see all the seasons, I really hate that!

• I can suddenly watch some shows now

  by g-menproductions

  I have directv and can't watch some shows. Glee for instance, but don't care there. Almost human and sleepy hollow work so that's better.

• Can't sign in

  by MikeCPowellSBMike

  It won't allow me to get passed the sign in screen.

• Fox is awful

  by Mr Continuum

  How does it not have one of the biggest cable companies (Time Warner)? It's a waste of an app!

• Pointless

  by Gina27tuuyfvbigg

  All this plays are clips and show pictures. It says it shows tv shows but that's a fat lie! Don't bother downloaded. It's worthless

• Would give 0 stars if I could.

  by Crimsonwake858

  The reason why I even downloaded this app was to watch the shows without cable or subscription tv. ABC did the same thing then realized that they would loose too much business and had older episodes available after a week. That makes sense if money is what they want have the people pay to be able to watch 24 hours later. Then I wouldn't complain, because it would it would still be a functional app.

• Deleting

  by Jrsygryl

  Can't watch episodes like I can with ABC app. I don't want to watch clips. Added my cable provider, nothing changed. Deleting.

• Nice, but...

  by P@b1ito

  Why do you need a login with a cable, phone, or dish network. Isn't Fox a network that transmits OTA? Streaming The Simpsons is very nice tho. Even with the ads.

• Good

  by xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  Nice

• ENOUGH WITH NEEDING A PROVIDER PLEASE!

  by MioMio96

  The whole point of getting the app was to watch shows without paying for cable that has a ton of useless channels!!! Fox is basic so why are you forcing us to "sign" in, or in other words pay for, a provider to view our shows?!? It defeats the purpose of using an app in the first place!

• No Direct TV

  by The_Chaplin

  Deleted app

• Overall not bad

  by Humanity's last hope

  Good but could be better. With just a little bit more of effort this could be on par, or even better than hbogo or maxgo. I can't sign in with my cable provider so I have to deal with adds. Oh well

• Great tv ap

  by Skillar31

  Like being able to stay up to date on shows when I miss a week. Have to use my in-laws provider info though so if it wasn't for that and I was on my own I would be left out of watching (but that seems to be the norm with tv via phone).

• Glitches

  by silverdragon227

  Would be 5 stars if it didn't glitch all the time...

• Super convenient

  by BrownHunter8888

  I can always access my favorite shows whenever I want

• Tv provider sign in not working

  by BexMH

  I am not able to watch any shows currently because it won't let me sign in to my tv provider account

• Amazing

  by Nnanna007

  Not bad at all..better than that crap abc is working with

• Cox!!'

  by jhadbott

  Really no cox?? Never heard of them? You should provide service to anyone that pays extra for cable because I'm sure you get a cut of my monthly bill.. Useless !!!

• Not worth it

  by Kay684

  This app is only good if you want to watch low rated shows or if you already have cable through their selected providers. What is the point?

• Ugh

  by LilyTheWolf

  How am i supposed to know my provider!!

• Closes all the time

  by Reevrev

  Very good at closing unexpectedly.

• worthless

  by g-menproductions

  I have directv and can't watch a show so this app is worthless.

• Have Directv? Don't bother.

  by Filmseye

  You can only unlock episodes with your tv provider info, so if you have Directv then forget being able to watch anything. It's not on the list.

• Useless!

  by Lacyhorse

  I am a Dish customer and it is not supported by this app. My access is denied. Great idea to produce a product that only gives access to a small percent of the population.

• Love

  by Giugiu 777

  I lone how you can watch episodes that aren't on netflix yet I love watching new girl

• Very angry

  by Provider not listed

  Well I have direct tv and that isn't listed, so therefore this app does nothing for me, horrible move. You don't even have to have cable to watch fox, so why does this on the app? Lost a loyal viewer to your greed. Everyone should delete this app.

• Not Bad

  by TheBigBadWolf76

  But why can't I watch live tv? I have xfinity so I should be able too.

• No cable

  by Midwest Palm Tree

  This app used to be great, but since I don't have cable or dish etc. I can no longer watch FOX shows. Bummer. ABC went the same route. Two networks that no longer have my following.

• Bad app

  by runmacrun

  Should be internet provided, not tv provider required. Being that it pounds you with ads!

• Love it

  by Ryangray2012

  I love being able to watch almost human and Brooklyn nine nine

• Good

  by HECTOR GALINDO

  Verry good ;)

• Can't use it.

  by Savvyannah86

  You can't watch anything on the app unless you have a tv provider. We don't have cable, we watch online. Sad day.

• AWESOME!

  by LadyEG

  Thanks Fox, for making episodes available to non-cable viewers. I don't even mind being a week behind, totally cool with that. Please don't change!!

• No cable = no episodes

  by Kaosong

  This ridiculous!!! I don't subscribe to cable so I use an old fashioned digital antenna. This means I can't watch any episodes but luckily I can see clips. That's idiotic.

• Fox now app

  by Issac Bell

  Great app I recommend it to all. A++++*

• This app doesn't work

  by FabNYCIGirl

  This app doesn't work, It won't let me authentic my cable acct #.
