WBFYC Screeners Reviews

How am I supposed to evaluate a film when it is constantly broken with incredibly aggressive watermarking? Awful. Just send discs with whatever marking they had before. This is trash and I won’t bother using it next season.

EDIT:
Guys, you’re watermarking every 10 minutes over the center of the screen. Other studios don’t do this. And I live in an area where my guild does not screen films. I’m well aware of the dangers of piracy, but you’re kidding yourself if you think you’re providing a worthwhile experience. Go ahead, you got a video stream working on the internet, pat yourselves on the back. But don’t pretend that what you’ve made here is watermarked the same or as flexible as the screener discs. Don’t even.

The screeners will only play on my phone. I would rather watch them on my tv. When I try to cast the screener on my tv it just continues to refresh and can’t not download/play a movie or show. Also, I can only cast through my DirectTV stream box and not on my smart TV or Apple TV. This has been so frustrating because I haven’t watched anything and probably won’t be able to vote for the awards this year. What a waste of my dues. So disappointed.

I cannot get this to play on my device - the screen only appears black.

I still have another 14 hours to vote for the SAG Awards and it says my login ID has expired because it’s “only active during awards season.” I guess Just Mercy won’t be getting my vote even though I hear it’s a great film.

I downloaded the high and low quality versions of Cry Macho and neither played at speed (dropping frames) on a macbook pro when made full screen.

No an impressive way to watch a film.

How ridiculously stupid of the WBFYC team to only show screeners in their app, which can't chromecast. I don't watch movies on my computer or phone, I watch them on my 106" screen with surround sound. Thus, I will not be watching any of the movies on WBFYCScreeners. Hope they send DVDs I guess.

Crashes on launch, every time, despite multiple "bug fix" updates. Extremely frustrating.

Hard to watch and properly evaluate movies on WBFYCScreeners as the movies streaming on them skip and glitch. I checked and it is not my internet. It glitches at the same moments every time. Just terrible.

This could have been an opportunity for WB to work on generalized platform, instead it chooses to lock itself to closed interfaces. I guess that the ambition to go up against Netflixs of the world is not there.

Started off ok as the picture quality was surprisingly good, but the audio sounds like the track is duplicated and then offset by 2 frames. Since I was given this screener to judge the audio for awards season, you’d think they’d have figured out how to make it sounds remotely listenable. Gigantic fail.

These films are supposed to be the best cinematic experiences of the year. I am appalled that we are forced to watch them on a 3 inch screen. I for one will not vote for any studio film that does not send a proper screener so the film can be watched on a large screen as it was intended. I encourage you to do the same.

I saw a similar review from December, I would think they've already addressed the issue. When You click play, you only see a few seconds of the image and then the screen goes black, with sound going... Wish I could give no stars.
Frustrating and disappointing.

I just installed WBFYCScreeners , downloaded my film selection and tried to watch. All that I was able to see was the start of the WB logo sequence before the screen went black. The progress bar kept going forward, but no picture. I tried this multiple times, but had the same problem over and over and gave up. I don't have the patience for software that won't function as it should.

No picture in picture view.

You want me to consider this for awards, but you want me to watch it on a tiny little tablet screen? Casting to a TV would be ideal. I’m not watching a movie on a tablet

I wish all the studios did this. WBFYCScreeners works great but I wish you could use cast it to a Chromecast. Not everyone has an Apple TV.

I love the idea of viewing screeners via an app, but like others said, we should be able to cast them to our TVs. I have an Apple TV, so I was able to download WBFYCScreeners there and watch, but that restriction shouldn’t be in place. But please continue this idea WB, and improve upon it next year!

Very smooth app

The bad reviews are all referring to the lack of Chromecast compatibility. Yes this is annoying but in no way does merit one star. This interface is superb and exceptionally easy to navigate. App developers, please extend mirroring capability to other devices. Other studios, copy WBFYCScreeners!

By far the best way to view screeners. Other studios, please copy WBFYCScreeners!
