MGM+ Reviews

So I subscribed to MGM just to watch a certain show I have been dying to see. On June 30th my free week trial expired and I was charged the $6 for a month service. Totally fine and expected. Well, 4 days later on July 4th I noticed ANOTHER $6 charge on my bank account. Upon investigation, it was a second charge for a separate epix service THAT I NEVER SIGNED UP KET ALONE AGREED TO PAY FOR. After several back and forth emails with epix customer service, i received an email bluntly stating there was nothing they could and to contact iTunes. So I did. iTunes informed me this was a completely separate service for “apple tv” and could not tell me when or how I was signed up for it. I canceled both services and iTunes informed me that I would receive a refund for the second $6 charge “sometime in the next 30 days”....now living pay check to pay check ad a lot of people do these days, this has caused my bank account to be overdrawn by a friggin dollar. Since I’m on good terms with my bank, they have waived the overdraft fees after I showed them the emails thank god. Because of that, I’m not pushing this any further and am just done with it. Just wanted to give people a heads up as nobody could tell me how or why this happened. But, I did get to watch my show and enjoyed it thoroughly so not a total loss here. Very frustrating though.

I eagerly signed up for EpixNow membership and during the trial period was able to download and watch some series and movies. I need the downloading option because I usually don’t have access to fast internet connection.
Anyways I liked the library and had lots of stuff waiting on my watch list. I was definitely going to be a permanent subscriber.

Then as soon as my trial period ended, I was never able to download another movie!
Always got an error message to say this can’t be downloaded at this time please try again.
But again never came 😟

I guess this may be due to a slow internet connection but I do think that if EpixNow was apply to deliver movie downloads during the trial period that they should be able to do so after a customer becomes a subscriber.

Come on guys, if Netflix can do it you can too 🙏🏻
I paid my first months subscription without being able to download a single movie 😤

I will definitely change my rating and resubscribe to EpixNow if you guys can do something that caters for those of us who do not have access to fast internet speed

I began watching the Epix channels this summer during the month long free trial on Directtv. I was able to watch all 8 episodes of the Deep Sttate series. I recently signed up for the Epix channels for $5.99 a month through Directtv so I could watch season 2. I am finding that episodes 3&5 of Deep State season 2 are missing from the on demand Directtv lineup. I have inquired several times both with Directtv and Epix and have gotten no where. Directtv says it is Epix who needs to add them and Epix says Directtv is responsible for adding them. So I am disappointed at this time. Epix if you are reading this can you fix this problem? Thanks

Love the options, and having app on my phone. Wish they had the ability to stream on my smart TV but that’s why there is the Roku. I tried also using it on my laptop, but that feature is not available yet but it looks like they are working on it! I got my free 30 day trial from Domino’s Pizza, so glad I get to try this out for free just by buying a pizza. I recommend MGM so far, just wish it was accessible online and through smart televisions.

So there are separate Epic apps along with separate subscriptions. This is confusing for customers to choose which is best for you and Epix doesn’t explain ANY of this before purchasing. Then when I tried to download MGM for my iPad the process to sign in was way too complicated, and I’m a millennial, I know about computers and applications and no way should watching a movie or choosing a subscription should be this complicated. Make sure you’re downloading to correct app because Epix banks on the fact that you won’t understand and will end up paying for both subscriptions. Definitely not user friendly unless you’re already subscribed to Epix through your service provider.

You really can’t beat $6 per month for any streaming service nowadays. I may be the minority here, but even as a tech dork, I still love live feeds. 🤷‍♀️ Epix Now on Roku has a great interface including both on demand content as well as live channels. I also use it here on my iPhone. I was disappointed that the Epix Now app was unavailable on my fire tablet but the regular Epix app was available. Odd. Overall, I highly recommend.

I downloaded MGM just to watch season 2 of Get Shorty. It was well worth it.
This service is a tremendous value with hundreds of great movies and shows spanning decades.
But MGM is in desperate need of improvement. I would give the ap itself only 2 stars. The movies stream well but there seems no practical way to build a view list. Every time I wanted to watch another episode of Get Shorty, I had to search it. I could find no option for "keep watching" or "recently viewed". Then when I located the series the episodes were not listed in chronological order. How bizarre is that.
?

I enjoyed watching Classics like Airplane! And a few others, but navigating MGM was so annoying I decided to unsubscribe.

I'll come back in a couple months and check the reviews. I'll gladly re subscribe when MGM is navigable and organized.
Cheers!

This swarm of online streaming has the rush to the top of online supremacy ever been more satisfying to ascertain that title is the best market to be financially, competitive, invested and has potential to be a significant power house and strategically you couldn’t be in a better place amongst the most successful streaming apps.

Geez, you would think that they could figure this one out. I can’t watch in landscape mode on my phone. I have to watch it vertically and the view screen is small. All other streaming apps, Netflix, prime, STARZ, showtime, ALL are able to watch in landscape mode. Sad.

Even more… I subscribe on my Apple TV app with my Apple ID and password, and then try to watch it on my iPad signed in under the same Apple ID, and it says I need to subscribe.

You would think that the company could scrounge enough change from their pockets to pay SOMEONE to get their app working properly.

I already have EPIX NOW CHANNEL/APP I was billed $5.99 Nov. 12th my reg. billing and $6.39 for a 2nd EPIX I never applied for on Nov. 23. I happen to receive a receipt in my email, and been trying to get information everyday since. I don’t need 2 EPIX CHANNEL and I only have one APP. After reading these reviews I am canceling the latest one, since I don’t understand how I got it in the first place.

Finally got to watch some classic James Bond movies thanks to EPIX Now. Dr. No being the primary target of my curiosity with the new 007 movie coming out. EPIX seem to have the exact Bond films that I wanted to see from the Sean Connery era which I couldn’t find on any other streaming service.

.....now if only they had some of the classic horror movies that I was looking for.

When in the trial period. I saw a lot of movies listed. But now I guess after the trial. I see hella lot more movies. I see older movies and movies of 2019. EPIX has a great selection of movies. Movies I can’t find anymore. EPIX has them. So many many movies I wanted to see again. Now I’m glad I have EPIX now. Thank you EPIX.

I love MGM on my phone but when I try to mirror to my tv I always have problems with MGM, I can mirror any other app easily but for some reason this one takes hours to worn if it even works at all, I’ve uninstalled & reinstalled several times & I've also reset my internet connection numerous times & it has only solved the problem once but it keeps happening over & over!

I did the free trial and right now I am out of work so I’m not able to pay, when trying to cancel it wouldn’t allow me it kept trying to charge $6 to my card when there is 0 on my card. How do I end this subscription?!? I went into Apple TV because I thought maybe that was it but it’s not allowing me as well. Someone please help I can’t afford this. The instructions weren’t clear about Apple TV I do not have a job and my card continues to be charged I don’t even have MGM downloaded anymore

Every time I go and try to play a movie it gives me a message saying it cannot play because my device is jailbroken. I contacted support and they pretty much called me a liar and said their systems indicated my device is jailbroken. I called apple support and they verified that my iPad is not jailbroken and suggested I contact EPIX which I had already done and they just said my device is jailbroken. Apple suggested to just delete MGM and use a different one.

I stumbled across epix because a couple coworkers liked some of the original shows. When I discovered Get Shorty was staring none other than the IT Crowd’s Chris O’Dowd, I was hooked. How did I not know about this? ... Now after seeing the Perpetual Grace trailer a million times, I can’t wait for the premier tonight.

I am highly pleased with the selection of movies to watch on EPIX. Feels like I’ve finally found a premium cable channel that I am more then happy to pay extra for.

I just wanted to subscribe and watch one of my favorite movies but they make it so difficult for no reason. Waste of money, their library isn’t even good. You’re better off just renting the movie or buying it somewhere else. Don’t even TRY connecting it to your TV bc that’s not even the worst part. 0/10, will never waste money here again.

I attempted to subscribe. In fact I was charged for the first month, but when I started MGM , it didn’t recognize me as a subscriber. In the process of purchasing I had to enter my Appleid password and also create an app userid and password. Then when I signed in to MGM I just got the offer to subscribe. I have canceled both EpixNow and EPIX for AppleTV until I get some straightforward way to complete the subscription.

While using MGM on my Apple TV and watching live tv sometimes the screen will freeze and the audio keeps playing. I tested it on 2 Apple TV’s does the exact same thing then I would say about 1/4 of the movies that are showing it says it can’t be viewed and it also isn’t available on demand. I’m paying for a service that doesn’t work properly.

Please take me off your 7 day trial as of now. If I am signed up. Nothing against Epix just can not afford. I will forget to take off and I don’t pay the bill on this phone. Person that does will cut my phone off!! Thx

Been waiting a long time for Epix to release a stand-alone subscription app and my patience finally paid off! It’s a movie lover’s dream at an excellent price with some movies available in 4K and live streams of Epix channels. Thanks for the Apple TV app!

Was going to download but after seeing a lot of bad reviews for them charging for services they never signed up for then taking money out of accounts when they shouldn’t have and then telling customers it’s not there problem to contact iTunes then iTunes saying it’s not there problem sound like a headache right now so I’ll just pass for now till they get it all working right.
