Could have been excellent...

So I use this app on my iPad and my Apple TV (4th gen). This review addresses both devices.

On my Apple TV you cannot pause/resume while watching "live". This is the same on my iPad.

If, while watching in "live" mode I choose to "restart", I can pause/resume using iPad, but NOT in Apple TV. With either device while doing a restart of a live show I cannot scrub forward to the current live position of the show. This is VERY annoying! If I'm wanting to restart a live show and then scrub (fast forward) to somewhere in between the start position and the current "live" position I can't. I should be able to!

If I stream something previously recorded I can pause/resume a show on both devices. I can scrub forward/backward on my iPad but NOT on my Apple TV. Of course, scrubbing is deactivated during commercial breaks, which is normal for most streaming TV apps.

The menu is thoughtfully designed and easy to navigate. It's a better menu implementation then DirecTV NOW, or Sony Playstation VUE, both of which I use on my Apple TV and iPad.

If it weren't for the issues mentioned above (inconsistency between devices, pause/resume and scrub niggles) I would have given this app 5 stars. As it is, I gave it 4 stars on iPad and 3 stars on Apple TV.

Thank you for providing this feedback. For any further questions, please email FOXNOW.Support@fox.com.

Buffers/Freezing

I only redownloaded this app to binge watch The Masked Singer and it buffers and freezes all the time. I have it downloaded to my Xbox One and it's ALWAYS connected to the wireless no my phone data, and can't even use it on my iPhone or iPad with or without the wireless, they won't even open without the spinning circle and doesn't load. I can only watch 20-25 min of the show with out issues and then it's every few minutes that it will freeze and then right near the end, it does it every few seconds. Not to mention with the commercials, they freeze as well, and when I get to the end where I want to read the clue at the bottoms of the screen or go back cuz I missed something, you can't, because it'll only show the play/pause button and "ad" written inside a circle. This app has so many issues and reading the reviews it seems like they've been around for quite awhile. Someone needs fix these issues. This is why I deleted the app before nearly a year or so ago, but forgot when I decided to binge this show, which I can't find anywhere else. It's ridiculous. I shouldn't have to reboot my Xbox every 30 minutes to watch a 40 minute show.

Frustrating, slow, unresponsive, bad for commuters

This is one of the most frustrating apps I've used in a long time. I am a DC metro commuter so I travel from cell tower to cell tower as well as underground. This app absolutely struggles with trying to keep up. Key features like preloading or the ability to download an episode are missing. The AMC app gives that ability which is great for planning for your travel. The app has a terrible time remembering where you left off, a lot of times requiring me to restart an episode, which of course queues commercials. Speaking of commercials, if you lose connectivity for a second the app quits out of the show and requires you to find the show again and restart, which again requires watching the 5 commercials. When going through tunnels on a subway this can be a nightmare. I had this happen 4 times in a row one time. Sometimes even when I have 4 bars of LTE the show will still hang up and do the loading circle. Nothing quite compares to the Netflix or HBO apps. This has taken me way too long to get through the horrible show that is The Passage.
