I downloaded this app for one show because i couldn't find it anywhere. I love that they have all the seasons and episodes of it, however the app barely works. One min it's working fine, then the next it cuts out and you can't finish the show because of error messages. Also only the first 3 episodes are free then you have to connect it to your tv provider, which is what happens with most apps like this, but as many adds that you have to sit through just in one episode all of them should be free!

So I think that it's fine. I have a few problems with the app. First, the ads, now I know that since it's free it's fine that there are some adds, but every 2 mins they have a long ad break and it is like over half the thing. I'm fine with some ads but this many is just so annoying. Also, when I am trying to either fast forward or rewind, it always has an error after clicking the button like 2-3 times. Some suggestions I have are to put how much time the ad break is. But I ran out of space peace

ADS. I understand having a few ads every now and then (it is free tv after all) but there are ads almost every 5 to 10 minutes. Also I thought it was really strange that they were the same ads on a loop, which got a little annoying. The app does also randomly stop, which no other app does with my phone. No matter where you are, it will be kind of laggy. Overall, it's an ok app. Once the ad issue is resolved, I will watch my favorite shows way more often.

I got this app to watch I Survived. Great, whatever, it works fine for the first day. Now suddenly like almost every commercial break it plays the same ad three times, then the screen freezes and even my phones back button doesn't work. Very annoying to have to watch a black screen and go back in and try to watch again to no avail since it just goes to another commercial break when I return.

THE ADS TAKE FOREVER!! I don't mind that there are ads, I do mind that 90% of the breaks for the ads end up freezing on a black screen. This happened to me yesterday & it was like that for close to 20 minutes!! I actually was doing something else, & forgot that I was waiting for the show to resume. Even after all that, I STILL had to watch the damn ad!! Other than that I enjoy the app, & it's content. Please fix this.

Not a bad app if you want to watch 10+ minutes of commercials for one ~40 minute episode. Each time I load on, the app seems to forget where I left off on an episode, and--ironically--this happened after I created a profile, which is said to save your progress across all devices. It clearly can't save my progress on one device, what is there to expect with more? As a result, I'm stuck watching 5 more adds trying to figure out where I last left off. I get it's free, but come on.

It could be better... I wish this app were more up to date. I wish for mute button for ads/commercials. I get they are neccessary. They are just annoying because they are repetitive. I also wish it were more like other apps and give you the option on mobile apps to rewind or fast forward for 10 secs at a time (like YouTube). Trying to use the bar at the bottom to go back just a few seconds is annoying. My "huge fingers" even though I am just 5 ft tall, always overshoot one way or another.

It needs improvement, and the commercials are absolutely ridiculous. They appear every few minutes, and half the time you're watching the exact same commercial all in a row. It's too much. I have several TV apps on my phone so I'm used to commercials, but this app is too much. It takes the joy out of watching your favorite show. P.S. i have my satellite account through Direct TV, so I'm not sure if that is the problem or if it's Lifetime app overall. Just adding it for more information.

This is a great app. I connected with my TV provider and everything is great. The quality is bad sometimes, but that's fixed almost immediately. My main issue is the fact that there are 4-5 ad breaks with 5-6 ads per break per episode. That's ridiculous. I don't mind the number of ad breaks, but maybe reducing the number to 3 at the max would give a better rating.

Ugh! I've never been able to get the app to work for some reason, but tonight the website gave me the message that I must use the app. I did. It worked. Sorta. Like others have pointed out, it constantly freezes which requires me to start and stop repeatedly. I end up having to force stop and/or restart TOO MANY TIMES! Yes, I'm updated to the current version.

Awful! When you rewind or fast forward it doesn't show pics to know where you are, and always resumes with a series of ads. The streaming will suddenly stop and throw you back to the main menu. It doesn't track the most recent episode watched to prompt point for resuming. The same ad will loop thru 3 or 4 times, and there's always three to six ads back to back of the same stuff over & over & over again. All this results in more time spent viewing ads than content.

It gets one star just because it has good movies. It's missing 4 stars because the ads are absolutely ridiculous. I understand that it's a free app... Kinda.. I mean, I sign in with my cable provider that I pay for. However, there are 4-7 ads every 10 minutes. If you choose the 30 second interactive ad, which is a great and not so great option, you will get get shorter ads but even more frequently than every 10 minutes which is already OVERKILL. DO BETTER.

This app is awful. Way too many ads and too many ad breaks. Also, way too long of ad breaks. When I have to sit through 8 ads or 4 ads with one or two being almost a minute long, that is ridiculous. Also hate that it never saves your place on an episode or which episode you're on and when you try to fast forward to get to where you were, ads. Then that ad break ends, shows about 5 minutes of the show, if you're lucky, sometimes less, then more ads. It is disgusting!

I have a profile created so it will save my progress. However, this doesnt work when the app crashes and I have to start all over on my movie. I fast forward to where I left off and it stops to play every set of commercials!! This is stupid. I get you have to have commercials but, do something about this! It took over 30 min to get back to where I left off at on the movie!!

Don't download. Doesn't work effectively and will store data on your phone you can't delete! I have wiped data and uninstalled more times then I can count. All prior memory of what I watched, still on the app when downloading again. And, no way to find in the back files to delete. Don't download unless you want something stuck on your phone or device forever. It also runs ads like crazy.... Withoit any context. Again, don't download!

Literally works about 25% of the time. Some shows are inaccessible because the app crashes completely if you click on it. At least once per show it will crash randomly for no reason, then it's 50/50 if you'll be able to get back to that episode. The most recent season of MAFS only displays 1 episode but there have obviously been more. And you CAN watch them - if you start at the beginning and scroll through to the end of each episode it will automatically go to the next one. SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!!

Great movies, but the ads get stuck on stupid!!! If you get the ad for Balsam Hill Christmas Trees, the entire app freezes!!! Either you wait for 5 to 10 minutes (it does EVENTUALLY continue) or exit and restart the app and pray you don't get the Balsam Hill Christmas Tree ad again. Either way I got tired of waiting and restarting, so I just gave up trying to watch it.

Very glitchy, crashes frequently. Shows are good, but not worth watching when I get repeat ads, sometimes for over ten minutes, lots of black screens, crashes and freezing. App doesn't remember where you left off and often opens completely different shows from the one you click on. At this point, it's a terrible app for a decent network. I detest Hulu, and even they do a better job on the app.

First off, there's lots of ads. Then, when you think you're done... More ads.... Then more ads... Then a few minutes of an episode then... You guessed it, more ads! UNWATCHABLE!! Now I'm going to uninstall this app and have a nice day! Lifetime, you guys have phenomenal content but your app is appalling and it makes you look very greedy and pitiful! Please do better! I'm out! Better yet, give us a app for a fee and NO COMMERCIALS! I'm all over that!

I downloaded the app to watch Little Women LA and get caught up on it. The app is good but seriously at least a dozen commercials and it plays the same commercials over and over again before the show starts and at least 5 different times during the show. It played the same US Cellular commercial back to back 6 different times. That's enough to drive you crazy! When starting an episode you can't cast it to the tv without watching all of the ads first...so annoying.
