Fandango at Home Reviews

by Mtn Dave

I have bought, or in your case, downloaded for free, many Apps from the Apple Store. Many Apps are priced, while others show, “In App Purchases Required.” I suppose that you could say that I’m gullible, but I looked at your App, and FandangoatHome was free, and nothing was shown regarding In App Purchases. I suppose that most people don’t think like me, but there are In App Purchases required. Many In App Purchases at high prices. Yes you do have a large listing of “Free With Ads” movies, but making me watch ads is really the equivalent of charging me. And the quality of the Free With Ads movies is awful. I’ll never know what percentage of those movies are blood and gore, but it’s way over 50%.

I would recommend that no one download FUDU. It’s misleading, and way far free.

First, I had to get help buying a movie because there is zero accessibility. Voiceover on the iPhone does not read any of the movie titles. They expect you to pay a huge amount for HD movies versus SD movies, where as everybody else just charges one price and updates them as needed. Second, the movie that I purchased, though my voodoo account is linked with Movies anywhere, the movie that I just paid extra for the HD version of isn’t even showing up on movies anywhere, and therefore, iTunes. The website was hokey, and took forever for me to be able to change my billing options. This needs to be fixed! If I buy a movie, which I paid extra for, I want to have access to that movie. Blind people watch movies too! Stop taking our money if you’re not going to give us access to our movies!

Their customer service is non-existent. Don’t bother submitting your question or taking the time to do so. No one will ever answer you because they do not have a support team- that’s how much they care about you and your experience. They also do D2D- this is a ploy to get your money. This is not a free service despite the fact that you have already purchased the movie. What’s worse, you cannot redeem bundles. For example, if you have the Harry Potter 8 movie collection, you cannot redeem it for $2, AS YOU MOST CERTAINLY SHOULD BE ABLE TO! To prove they are a GREEDY company with bad business practices… browse their “bundles” you will find this EXACT bundle for a whopping $60!!!!! Yeah. Money and more of it is the bottom line for this despicable company. Stay away!!!!

FandangoatHome is geared towards buying movies, which you cannot do through FandangoatHome . The first thing you see is a bunch of movies you can’t tell the price of unless you go to the website.
The interface for watching a series is awful. If you use chromecast, it does not have an auto play feature. So once an episode ends you have to go back to your series and find what episode you are on to continue watching.
The continue watching feature is cluttered and confusing. It will save multiple episodes of the series you are watching that are partially watched, even though you have watched the entire episode making it difficult to keep track of where you are in the series when you have to dive back in every time an episode ends.
Overall FandangoatHome works, just not well. It needs a complete overhaul that is geared towards watching the content you own, instead of trying to sell you things you can’t even buy through IOS.

I have used FandangoatHome for awhile now. (It’s also built into my TV) I have purchased several movies as well as watched several of the free ones as well. I spent a dumb amount on the Incredibles 1 & 2 bundle package for my kids. Started our marathon. First plays fine, second attempts to load and immediately goes to the end like we watched in a matter of 2 seconds. I email tech support asking for assistance, I get a response 24 hours later advising to run a network test and to uninstall and reinstall FandangoatHome . FandangoatHome is BUILT INTO MY TV. I picked a different movie and it played fine. Their advice ... run the network test and advise of my IP address and the test results. Just think as tech support the power cycle/network blame game is over played. And truly I believe they didn’t even read my full email. Guess there goes the $35 I paid for 2 movies

I used to absolutely love FandangoatHome I have hundreds of movies and hundreds of tv episode on here and I watched it every single day but ever since fandango took it over I’ve had nothing but problems. Half the time it won’t open and even when it does it crashes at random or the movie will stop playing halfway through, I’ll have to close out and re-open multiple times to get it to play again, I can’t see some of my movies/tv episodes in my library, I have to search them on the store to find and play them. I haven’t been able to get through a 30 minute tv episode without it crashing or starting over at random. Really frustrated and hoping they fix it because I used to love FandangoatHome.

Love FandangoatHome . I have a huge collection of at least 380 movies. The only thing I’d change is. Since I buy movies at different times, I’d like to be able to sort them the way I want to. A-Z doesn’t help as some same of group of series movies may have different names so they are placed far apart. Like I want to put all x-men movies in a group without being separated as I go through whole list. Another is to take apart a bundle so it shows it individually so I can place it. Looks better in my library. I’d like to cut and paste them in order that I choose. Maybe even be able to type in headings over a group of movies as I scroll through my list. This would get me more involved with my collection and see what I want to add

by Kathyk13

We love having access to our movie collection from any screen. Our collection of DVDs hasn’t been touched since we moved ... four years ago. When I travel, I like that I can download a handful of movies to my iPad when I don’t have WiFi. I’m giving Four Stars because it lacks an important feature: I would like to see the ability to purchase and add to my library right there in FandangoatHome . You have to open a web browser to complete four more steps to log in, find the title, click Buy, choose the format, confirm the purchase ... and THEN you can watch the movie you wish you could have purchased on demand within FandangoatHome . I would have a bigger collection by now if you offered in-app purchases.

Running FandangoatHome with captioning always ends with issues. I have the latest version, I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling, my phone is current but always the same problems. The captioning runs out of sync after a few minutes, or the video has one serious lag and throws not only captioning out of sync but the action and voice sound affects as well. Only when running movies or shows with captions on does this happen. It’s nice being able to turn down the volume and run captions when the baby is asleep. Can’t always use headphones so please fix this.

by Bubble779

I love FandangoatHome but I think it is dumb to not allow people to rent or buy movies from their IPhone and to allow purchases to be made only from laptops. People are on their phone much more than a laptop so personally I think the company is shooting themselves in the foot for not allowing people to buy from their phone since if the company allowed purchases to be made from phones I could watch things on long car rides or when I’m away from home and don’t have a laptop or WiFi connection. Otherwise the selection is great but they really should fix this issue

by KC1NY

If you have any questions or problems with FandangoatHome please call tech support! I have in the past and they where very helpful and fixed any problems I was having! I started using FandangoatHome when my kids where so they could watch their Disney movies and my movies on the go. Way by for Disney had an app, I’m 51 now! They were their to pioneer the way for movies on the go ( anywhere ). Up to 100 movies in my library and still watch movies with it with my family. 👍👍

Ever since the new update whenever I want to pause a movie by taking out one of my air pods the movie doesn’t pause anymore. It continues to play over speaker which I don’t want it to do. I even tried pausing the movie on screen then removing my pods and the movie kicks back on and plays on the speaker. I also tried turning my screen off for it to remain paused until I can get back to my movie and it plays on speaker in the background! This is very frustrating cause every time I need to walk away I miss part of my movie and have to rewind back to where I left off which isn’t perfect so I have to rewatch scenes again. I thought maybe it must be the air pods but now all the other movie apps I use actually pause when I double tap or take my air pod out. Please please update again and make it compatible again.

Christopher Nolan is the last of the great visionary filmmakers, he’s the closest thing to Alfred Hitchcock. And in this age of flaccid and a mediocre total lack of culture, top to bottom. Music to cinematography and beyond, regardless of your points of view you must know there are few left that can inspire the greatness that could be. We all must work as one to drive the creation of ingenuity and. By recognizing the greatness that has come before and building on the very best of the past, in all its greatness and it’s faults, to produce the very greatest of our collective futures.

This was absolutely the WORST movie I have ever seen with Richard Gere in it! It seemed good at first, had me excitedly waiting to see what happened next, then it just suddenly ended, on a cliff hanger, no less! We were left not knowing what happened, if the bad guys were arrested/killed, what—absolutely no clue if there were any repercussions from their awful crime, who was blamed, etc. What a complete waste of time & money, unfortunately by actors I usually really liked & appreciated! Thank goodness this was a freebie. If I had paid box office prices, I would have been seriously ticked off & disappointed. Honestly, I don’t believe this was the actors’ fault, necessarily, but rather the constraints on the writers’ time & the film budget. They could have provided some sort of decent ending that didn’t leave the watchers hanging! To Richard Gere, I expected much better. There was absolutely no real ending/conclusion at all! Waste of serious time/money.

by Mokuleialei

I love FandangoatHome so much and so thankful for the free movies but after going through all the Free Movies/TV Shows pressing the Hearts to Save to WishList, I get to my WishList and only a few are on the list. Why? I go back to the items, even play them and the hearts are shaded but yet not in the List at all. Can you please fix this? Oh and some movies are not even playable like The Chauffeur and The Tutor. I don’t get it. Please change this! I am eternally grateful for this amazing app and hope there is a deal to purchase monthly instead of individual movies too. Mahalo Plenny🤙🏾❤️💜

Good prices and vast selection. We enjoy it a lot.
Some improvements would make it a five star app:
It really needs the ability to sort your library into smaller libraries for different family members. Right now, if my 10 year old pulls FandangoatHome up, Bridesmaids, is right there. The parental controls they have are really not thought out for how a family will need and use FandangoatHome .
Also, sometimes a movie I buy “disappears”, and it’s just not in my library. Usually resolves itself over time but frustrating when you want to watch immediately.

by Padric2

I’ve seen a few glitches, but so far I’m pretty happy with FandangoatHome . Not as good as watching on my smart TVs but still pretty great considering that They have this much content available no matter where I’m at.

Just wondering if it might be possible to be able to star rate things on FandangoatHome . As it stands everything is at a 4 star default and am unable to rate via FandangoatHome . By no means a deal breaker... just a bit more convenience for my lazy self.

One more thing; why have so many previews arable to watch for movies you don’t have?

by Ibdb4u

If you buy something, and it can only be watched on its proprietary platform, you haven’t really purchased it. More like an unlimited rental until such time as the platform collapses or you choose to stop giving your identity to it. You cannot download items and watch them 10 years from now on whatever.

The only values in BUY format is no commercials and current popular releases for a wider selection.

On the other hand if you watch something free aka with commercials, they limit the commercials to only one per break. Quite tolerable compared to other streaming services.

by Linz@44

This is an awesome app! Plenty of free things to watch, but also lots available to purchase if you want. I had never tried this until I decided to get my free digital copy of a movie I was waiting for shipment. I didn’t realize how cool FandangoatHome was, and I’m glad I decided to get the digital copy and discovered this new way to watch on my phone. I have already watched some really great movies for free, and I like how there’s not much ads in the ones that do have ads, and it works perfectly. No issues at all so far. The movies change every week I believe, so there’s always fresh content and something for everyone even the kids! I definitely recommend FandangoatHome!

by MacBHoward

I like Vudu’s service and massive menu of movies to buy or rent, but the format could use some work, and there is a bug. I’ll leave a review about this problem and maybe you’ll fix a bug that has existed on the AppleTV app for a long time. When I scroll slowly down through my movies, I make it to about 25% and the view jumps almost to the end of my library. If I scroll back up, it goes about 25% of the way then jumps to the beginning of the library. To pick a movie I usually scroll the menu in my iPad, pick one, then I search for it it the Search window on my AppleTV. That works, but I’d rather do a leisurely scroll to choose what I want to watch.

Between the 3-4 Ads in the beginning of the movie and the ads that pop up right at the best parts of the movie and then the sounds not syncing with what’s being said it the parts of the movie when people are talking the quality alone is just absolutely poor. The amount of “free” movies are okay but the good movies you have to pay for which I think is stupid because if I wanted to pay for one I’ll go buy it from the store. I think it’s just lame that you have to pay for the good movies when you can go to Walmart

by Billistik639

My only complaint is the terrible customer service. Multiple times when I’ve had problems I’ve emailed them and have not received a reply. Or I don’t hear from them until I sent three emails to them and it’s three weeks later. And their customer service doesn’t even try to make up for errors on their end or anything. They just seem to not really care about their customers remaining pleased with their service.

by KellyRenee33

This is absolutely my favorite way to purchase and stream movies. I have spent so much money doing this and regret non of it. My only issues are there is no way to switch up payment options on FandangoatHome . Sometimes I want to splurge on something but can’t easily switch to credit from debit so I don’t bother. Also a “watch from beginning” button would be nice. Add a “next episode” option when watching a tv series and I’m golden. 😂 Thanks for making FandangoatHome easy and reliable to use. Love having my digital collection in one place!

by Naniki 78

Just downloaded FandangoatHome a week ago. I’m in a foreign country weekly and TV entertainment is usually abysmal, with the language barrier. With FandangoatHome I was still not able to stream a movie in my hotel room but since I had downloaded a movie on FandangoatHome a week ago I was able to at least watch that. Unsure if it was the hotel’s Wi-Fi that was causing the issue or if FandangoatHome in a foreign country just doesn’t work as well as it does in the states.

by DRHost

I like FandangoatHome it does everything you would expect to play your content and it’s content. Could be better with a recents area to quickly navigate back to what you were watching recently. Additionally it could use a streamlined search area as it takes a while to scroll through your library to find titles and/ downloaded content.

by SoCalChills

Haven’t ever had a serious issue with FandangoatHome . Sometimes I’ll get playback errors but a restart of FandangoatHome usually solves the problem. All my movies are always available and on all the devices I want them on. Good deals also on digital copies of movies and tv shows. And I love the disc to digital option. Only a handful of videos aren’t convertible so far, but hopefully become available in the future.

by Happy Picture Lover

I uploaded it today and I absolutely love it I don’t even remember how I found it now I think I found it because I was searching for a particular movie and it showed that FandangoatHome had the movie and I thought oh my and then I just loved it and it has a whole bunch of movies on and I’ve been wanting to say wow and I can do this while I am riding my exercise bike, cooking in the kitchen, having lunch out alone or just relaxing in bed. So excited

by Helix Jump My Review

FandangoatHome is awesome. I have just recently used FandangoatHome and I gotta say I am really glad FandangoatHome is free. But there is one problem some movies that I would like to see it says “ Available with family play” I go to settings and I turn on family play and stuff. Then I go back to the movie to try to see it but it still says the same thing so if you know what I can do plz reply back.

Thank you

I have a coordination disability that causes me to sometimes drop things and to have difficulty picking them up. This means that I avoid DVDs and other easily scratched or broken items. I appreciate the wide variety of Vudu’s catalog of TV shows and movies and the ability to access FandangoatHome on most smart devices (in my experience).

by Randomplayer#69523

I actually like FandangoatHome because who doesn’t like free movies but the CS stinks.. Every time I use picture in picture FandangoatHome closes when a commercial comes up.. This is super annoying! I tried to talk to CS and all I get are canned answers.. I’ve already done all the normal things when there’s something wrong.. it has to be on their end.. I wish I could get some real help.. Maybe I’m the only one that uses picture in picture!?! Lol 😂
