    Treasure-seeking pirates, time-travelling nurses and an old friend who slices up the undead with his chainsaw hand: there’s a lot to love about STARZ. The app has a gorgeous layout stuffed with some of our favourite content, from recent Marvel films and Oscar-winning dramas to STARZ original series like Black Sails, Outlander and Ash vs. Evil Dead. With the ability to subscribe right from the app and download shows for offline viewing, it’s a shiny go-to in our entertainment galaxy.

  • Glitch

    If I am in the middle of an episode on a mobile device and I get a call or swipe out of the app to do something else. When I go back to continue watching the same episode it either starts from the complete beginning or doesn’t started at all. Then I have to force close the app and it starts over anyway. Very inconvenient. Sometimes I just don’t bother watching anything.

  • App errors are annoying

    I love the shows but hate that it doesn’t remember where you last stopped on shows so you have to constantly fast forward. Also it’s been glitching out a lot on my phone and ad I’m watching the screen will disappear and take me back to the man menu as it continues to play the show but it won’t let me pull the video back up. So I have to shut the whole app down and do it it again and refined my spot multiple times. It’s very frustrating. Only tolerating it because I paid for the year already.

  • Needs work!

    I’ve had the app for a long time. You would think with all the advances it could be better. I love a lot of the shows on there. But it rarely saves your place on anything that you’re watching. You have to go back and find the spot that you left off at. Also, it never saves your subtitle preferences and you have to put it on every time you go back in. So annoying!! Fix it!! I think it is one of the worst apps when it comes to streaming services.

  • Do they even use their app?

    There are always weird bugs in the Ui. Most recently the stupid advertisement overlays in the previews won’t go away and you can’t dismiss them. Imagine, a production team blew a bunch of money on a season finale and the ad team wrecks the viewing experience to recommend other shows and movies on the same platform. The design team makes that banner so big it overlays the close captions. It’s like they fired the qa team and just wing it. So glad I don’t pay full price for this janky content.

  • Poor play back

    I was so excited to get STARZ with the year price special. However the app definitely needs some help. I tend to watch shows/movies while at work so I pause a lot to assist with customers or phone calls. I have attempted to watch one movie and apparently the “continue watching” option is bogus. I selected the movie in that section and every single time it restarts the movie. This is one of the most annoying things for a paid service. Please do better

  • Constant Glitching

    This app doesn’t save your place when you’re watching shows so every time you go back in you have to remember where you were and scrub to that location after watching an ad. Very annoying. Sometimes it just gives me an error message for no reason and kicks me out of my show. Tried deleting and redownloading and it doesn’t help. Expensive subscription for having it not work well most of the time.

  • Ok..

    Lots of good shows! Only issue is the app itself. Can be very slow at times, freezes to where I have to exit out in order for my show to play again and then it starts all over again. Also, it never saves my place in the show every time I come back I have to restart from the beginning. Would give more stars if it didn’t have these issues.

  • iOS Issue login through cable provider

    We get Starz via our Direct TV account and though we can login, when we try to stream content, we get a failure message of too many devices on the account. We go through the process to log out all devices and it still continues to have that error. We can stream on any tv in our house with no issue. Reached out to customer support and they were completely useless and unhelpful. Tried for several days on 2 different phones and an iPad.

  • Great content. Bad app

    Love the content, I could watch for hours on end. The app isn’t good though. It needs a lot of work. You can’t pause. When you pause it starts to play again within seconds. Also, every time you close the app, whatever episode you were watching starts over from the beginning. The continue watching section disappears sometimes as well.

  • Needs an update

    Great shows but if your watching it on your iPhone, it always restarts the show to the beginning if you switch screens. It will continue playing the sound but doesnt allow you to bring the video back up. Really frustrating. I probably wont renew because of this feature. Starz needs to keep up with their competition.
