Movies Anywhere

I like this service. Having my movies available across multiple services is just so convenient. I love that some of the movies have special features attached. However, it seems that Microsoft and Google/Youtube no longer work with the service, and others are considering leaving. Sooner or later, it seems likely that no retailers will still be working with the service.

Note: This app can only integrate movies and shows purchased from other services that Disney has in its database. So most of my Fandango content (formerly VUDU) is here, but a small handful don't show up. I really like the interface of Movies Anywhere better than other services. So if I can watch my purchases here, I do so. I also love how easy it is to save movies on my phone to watch while waiting for the doctor or dentist. Nice change of pace from reading sometimes.

This app is amazing, I absolutely love the idea of having all my movies (most of them) in one place to watch anywhere. I also like how they added my Microsoft account films to the mix. Certain studios I really wish were added (Paramount, lionsgate) so I can have my whole collection, which is why I give it 4 stars now. Well done overall! (This review has been updated)

So convenient. Having all your movies in one place. So many retailers to choose from to link accounts. I also appreciate the control settings. I don't have to worry about the kids possibly watching something we don't approve of. I did like the notifications that if one of your wishlist titles was on sale it would send a push notification. Did that go away or will it be back? Just a thought, push notifications for new releases and pre-oders? Overall, I'm happy.

I love the idea of having better access to digital content that I have purchased. So much easier than hunting apps to find what I know I have bought. I think that movies anywhere has a great idea, with massive room for potential. A lot of times digital content can be more or just as expensive as buying a physical object for some reason. Even though a lot less goes into the production for digital and No compensation for unused content. Movies anywhere makes it a little bit easier.

Been using the service for almost 3 years now on on different devices. Love the new lists, just wish they would play consecutively non-stop, like a play list, hopefully that might happen later. Great service & app, especially like being able to watch my movies on any platform I want, no matter where it was purchased. Hopefully more studios will join in soon but that's not MA's fault. One other improvement I'd really like to see is pricing for all the movies, like how it's shown on the sales.

Overall a great app, but I have one big complaint. I'm able to "resume watching" on YouTube or Movies and TV on my PC, yet this app doesn't do that at all. It seems like a bizarre feature to just leave out when nearly all modern streaming services have this. Video quality is otherwise excellent, and audio is highly immersive, especially with headphones.

I had no idea that I could combine all of my purchase movies into one app. Ever since I had to start accessing my Google Play movies in YouTube I really disliked it because it took like six more steps to get to my movies. Which when You have young children navigating through apps the less steps the better! Now I just get on Vudu, because I tend to buy most of my movies on there, but I can watch all of my movies from all of my apps on there. Very satisfied with this app!

do not download this app. you can load your movies but you will not be able to watch them and then you can't move them to watch them on any other app. Customer service never calls you back. And once they have your movies you can't move them to a different app. Try anything else Do NOT use movies anywhere ever. I'm currently missing 8 digital movies because of this app. F*** this.

very glitches. There have been many times when we've been out of town, and randomly EVERY video that we've downloaded is blocked, saying we don't have the digital certificate, or something. And the only solution is to re-download everything. great concept, terrible execution. And get your act together with the missing studios like lions gate, already. it's inexcusable.

It's a nice app and works well, but has one major flaw: No picture-in-picture ability. That means that you can play a movie and do anything else on your phone or pad. I sometimes like to look up information about a movie or scene while watching, but you can't do that with this app. That's VERY disappointing. I wish I could find an alternative app, but I've been unable to find one. I hope the apps creators add this ability in the near future.

I own over 350 movies on vudu and it's only showing 247.. Even when I try to search as if I were trying to buy the movies that are missing they don't even show up as an option to purchase. It's like they don't exist. For example, I own the new Sonic movie but when you search Sonic on the app there are 0 results, same with a bunch of other movies. Its almost as if the app isn't allowed to offer certain titles.... Not sure but it's definitely a bummer

Wish I could like this app, but when I log in, two of my movies (Shin Godzilla and Power Rangers), don't appear in my list, and when I link to other accounts, those films only appear in Vudu, and I can't seem to use that app either. waste of time in my opinion. if I could get all my films linked to my Prime account, like the app said it did, things would be different.

Loving this app and how it pools all of my retailers together into one spot. I know they are working on getting other movie companies to agree as some titles dont show up here from companies like Paramount and Sony, etc... But what I would really like to see, would be the ability to watch the TV seasons I purchase as well. I'm guessing this is falling under the rights battle like I mentioned above, but getting TV seasons would be awesome.

Best thing about this app, and best reason to use it, is that it has exclusive bonus features on many movies. I have hundreds of movies I own only on Digital and it's cool to see bonus features from the disc release on here even on older titles from Gone with the Wind to Singin' in the Rain to Unforgiven all with hours of featurettes. Other apps do not do that. Bonus content you can't get on Vudu. I can't get enough. MA! Please add an Xbox or PS4 app!

2 years ago, this app was awkward, frustrating, and struggled with updates. I rated it 3 stars back then, because it still functioned as a way to keep your digital movies in one place. Today, I realized it needed to be re-rated. It is smooth, intuitive, and well connected. The User Interface is understandable, the movies are easily watchable (especially with downloading), and finding new movies is a cinch. Good job guys.

Movies Anywhere touts that you have the ability to connect all of your digital movie viewing accounts so you can watch your movies anywhere. What this app fails to follow through with is providing all of your movies. If MA does not have an agreement with the studio, your movie appears nowhere. Not quite so awesome. While you may have 50 movies you own, you will probably only be able to see half of them. Be warned. And in reply to the reply from MA: Obviously. Thus my review. Did you even read it?

I didn't even know these types of apps existed until I received a promotion from an app that was discontinued (Filmstruck). WOW!!! This is a gamechanger!!! I downloaded The movies anywhere app on my roku, and within seconds every movie I own from different apps appeared!!! Nothing short of amazing! Those complaining that there are no free movies are obviously clueless as to what they're downloading.

This app works part of the time. Sometimes refuses to play movies at random and holds them hostage. Will be looking for a new app that plays my purchased digital movies. edit: yes, I cleared cache, forced stop, uninstalled and reinstalled. This has been going on for months as shown by other reviews yet nothing is being done. You. Will. Lose. Business.

Great app overall. Still think some of these companies are missing out ilonngreat opportunities by not agreeing to a contract. That said, there are a ton of movies. Old, new, take your pick because you will probably find it. THE SELECTION BETEWEEN CONSOLE AND PHONE APP WILL BE DIFFERENT (ref. the earlier mentioned contract)..There is a bug in the Xbox version. Small issue with being able to leave a star review. The selector is is set to auto bounce back. Even then you still can not select.
