Is AMC+ the worst designed app ever created?

We had it a couple years ago and maybe one out of ten times it would actually work. We canceled because it wasn’t worth the constant hassle. Fast forward to now, we signed up again to catch up on TWD spin-offs (gluten for punishment) and it’s still the same song and dance with this app. I’ve tried restarting the FiresStick, unplugging everything from the power and internet and it’s still saying Something Went Wrong. Everything else works fine except for AMC+.

I've had Paramount+ while binging Cheers. I can't imagine a worse app than that one. Frequent crashes (requiring turning the TV off), and the menus are VERY laggy.

That’s the thing I don’t understand, once we got the newest FireStick, Paramount+ which we also had problems with, works without a problem. The conspiracy theory in me leads me to believe these companies are just messing with us because they can. So at the end of the day we say screw it and go back to cable.

I could only really use AMC+ well when I had it as a sub via Prime.

The native app is godforsaken terrible and couldn't even search well, and the Roku version was very meh (as Roku apps are).

Yes. It stopped working for the finale of Better Call Saul and I'll never forgive them for it.

Binging Mad Men. It’s not a great app. Fo one 30 seconds before the episode ends every time the screen gets super dark with a ‘next episode’ option below. You have to hurry up and click continue watching to make out what’s going on in the final scene of every episode. Every single time.

Yeah I’ve done the same thing with Paramount+. I think it’s like $1/month more as a Prime subscription than getting it direct but it’s worth it to me just to reduce the number of separate apps.

I actually liked the old HBO Max app OK (maybe I was in the minority) but the new Max just has way too much bullshite that I have no interest in watching. So if I’m bored and just looking for something to watch, I don’t even bother with Max.

I think the best thing about Netflix is the way they handle the mix of promotions and personalized recommendations when browsing a massive catalog. It’s just so much easier to skim through and find something to watch compared to most other platforms.

All the channels, I just add-on with Prime because they all work great and everything is in one place and they give you awesome deals.

Do have Hulu now because of a deal but there's no Amazon app...so have to run it at the site. I might be in the minority but the interface annoys and the site is glitchy.

Amazon is like Apple...once you get their product you gotta buy in for compatibility. If you have Fire tablets or Fire TV then Prime works seamlessly because they offer you the Channels in their interface universe...Better than the rest...one-stop store, for all your viewing needs. (Except sports, which Prime sucks at...unless you're just in love with Soccer and awful Thursday Night Football.
