Screambox

The sound shut off, I’ve deleted and reinstalled and still no sound. Reached out to tech support and they gave me no advice other than to do what I already did. I will be canceling.

Not able to sign in on my iPhone screen wont scroll up far enough to sign in my keyboard is in the way

Unfortunately, this app can be wonky. It’s currently insisting I update and it won’t play anything until I do. There’s nothing to update, though. Also, it defaults to vertical and not horizontal layout which is bizarre. Love the content but the devs need to make this an app for 2024 and not 2009.

Can’t even watch a movie because it’s telling me I’m not subscribed but I am subscribed and when I tried to re subscribe they told me I couldn’t because I was subscribed. No place to email customer support. But hey they gladly took my $7. Good for them. I cancelled. Keep the $7 because it’s not worth dealing with this pitiful app service any more and hopefully terrifier 2 ends up on a better platform.

I genuinely hate leaving poor reviews, however I am a professional reviewer which is just one aspect of by business. I’ve been in business a long time and given ScreamBox try after try, I feel that it’s important to note as this isn’t a “one off” like many reviews. I will try to make this quick , first as the title says , the library is just not there to warrant a subscription fee, there are literally better free services out there along with paid services that are comparable. Honestly, with a tad of DIY attitude there are resources to literally get every title ScreamBox offers for free legally. Now, for the few things that they did fairly well , for the API or the development side of things, unfortunately they just really dropped the ball with the clunky UI and again with the poor library, it’s not fun to use and has technical hiccups, this is not a service that that I’d suggest picking up especially with a overpriced subscription format. Do yourself a favor and either sub to the the top dog that starts with a S “Sxxxxxr” or start yourself a PLEX server and create your own endless library tailored to you , or there are many 3rd party options whether hardware & software to help you acquire everything ScreamBox offers and more, such as certain products and .APKs, .IPA’s or open source legal projects like KODI. The bottom line is I have paid for this service multiple times to be disappointed. Unfortunately, ScreamBox has always been under par and dead on arrival. Pun intended. Happy Halloween!

I subscribed today and see that the movie selection is average. Not much different from Sh___, which I love and has more selections. The main problem is the subtitles on 2 Apple devices I have used so far cannot be turned off, which makes it a pain to watch when you don’t need them. So far, I will not renew after a month.

You need to fix this. It’s a very painful user experience and the catalogue is not worth the suffering.

I’m a fan of the service. The major downside, no apps for firetv/android tv. I’m not a fan of casting at all. This will be the reason I end up not renewing.

I am a horror fan. I paid $26.99 for a year and to me it’s worth it. They have some oldies which are nice, so if you are in the mood you can find something to watch from the selections. Some newer movies you wouldn’t hesitate to pay that to buy or rent so I think it’s a good option for horror.

Well, Screambox finally added an Apple TV app. About a year late from what was initially promised. This corrected one of my primary two complaints about the service. The quality of movies has improved so, that is an added bonus. I have renewed my subscription after dropping it for the past year. The only issue I still have is in regards to their limitation on devices. Screambox limits you to 4 devices and 1 computer to use the app. You can only change/remove 3 of your devices every 90 days. This isn't mentioned when you subscribe to the service and really should be disclosed. For me this is a major issue as I don't watch the service every day and I have too many devices where I may want to stream on at one time or another. Counting streaming tv devices, tablets and phone I have about 7. There still isn't an app for game systems however, it wouldn't matter due to the limitations. I don't stream from a pc but, I can't use that license for another device. Why not? They should allow you to use any of your devices and perhaps limit it to two streaming at the same time. Every other service I can think of doesn't limit number of devices you sign in to and potentially stream on. Please correct this and I will update my review again. So far things are improving but, they still have a way to go to be competitive with other services such as Shudder or Arrow.
