Ratings and reviews

This app is extremely frustrating to use. It keeps switching between landscape and portrait mode in an endless loop whenever I try to stream a movie. There's no option to go back, and the only solution is to restart my phone. At first, I thought my phone was the problem, but after reading other reviews, I realized it's a common issue. Maybe showmax is not available for higher version of phones like google pixel. It's a complete waste of time, and the subscription feels useless. Fix this ASAP!

You can't remove shows from continue watching. When you are watching a show and leave the app, it starts show (series) all over instead of continuing where you left off. You can't lock the screen when watching on your phone, which I need for my toddler who loves to press on the screen when watching. The app simply is not user friendly. Love the shows though.

The original app was good. It was easier to navigate. Managing subscription was way easier through the original app. Now the process is just long and unnecessary. Bad user interface, I can't even see all the movies and tv shows in the app. You can only see the recommended movies the rest are hidden. Unless you search them manually you can't find them. I was really disappointed and didn't enjoy the experience. Showmax, you can do better!
