Free to Spectrum internet users!
July 19, 2019
Read somewhere online that it was free to use this app to watch EPIX programming if you were a Spectrum internet subscriber (even without any cable TV plan) and sure enough, it works. It was easy to set up on our FireTV devices. We are 2 episodes into Perpetual Grace LTD which, so far, is a great new show. I see that there are a few other original series and some decent movies available also.
The app seems well-laid out and video quality has been good, with some occasional fuzziness when we first start a show - but it quickly ramps up to HD quality. I suspect that's more to do with our internet than the app itself.
If you have Spectrum internet, this is definitely worth checking out for the low, low price of FREE!

Horrible customer support thru EPIX cannot sign on to the app period

Do not even bother downloading this app. I downloaded this app as Amazon promised an amazing new app. well, it downloaded to my fire stick seamlessly. When I signed into the EPIX website it tells you to pick your provider. There is no Amazon Fire listed on their drop down. So figuring this was a new app to Amazon, I reached out to EPIX directly thru email. What a joke that was. Instead of trying to fix the issue and actually reading what the problem was, they immediately blamed the problem on Amazon and threw it right back to me. When contacting them a second time, I explained to them, again what the problem was. It was THEIR web site issue, not an Amazon issue. They answered me again, with the same pass the buck attitude from the first response. On my third and final email,( yes. 3 emails for the same issue that was never addressed) I told them to not worry about it. If they didn't want to fix their issue I would uninstall their app since it was useless to me. Not to bother answering, as obviously they did not want to fix the issue at hand. And to have a nice day. Their answer to me "same to you!!". Wow. So don't bother installing this app because it doesn't work, and EPIX really doesn't care one way or the other. Lets hope your paying attention Amazon.

This is such a let down this app is a horror story. First you must download the app to your TV device and a tablet,pc, laptop. After all that you must sign=in with an account from a service provider. Then you make an account with EPIX. Once you do all that you have a small tour of the useful tools within the app. Finally you get to the selection of a movie . This is the worst part . After all of the download the number jamming and the tutorials you go to push the play button and a little box comes up telling you to contact your provider and upgrade. I could 'nt give a minus stars grade because the geniuses haven't figured that out yet. EPIX has The same movies that all of these company's have . Minimum 3 years old and probably you've already seen it or own a copy . No support other than go here to this address and do this . And they pay for this ?

This is not a review of Epix, but the experience from Amazon that lured me into an app I had no intention of downloading. To watch Dirty Granpa, it says "download". Ok, I can "download" movies on Xfinity to watch it on any device without having internet connection. So I hit "download". Next thing I know a screen appears with 1 of 3 choices including "free trial" Really, I never had any issues with Amazon Prime. Never a problem with products I order through them. Always satisfied. But this practice for promoting premium channels caught me entirely of guard. Maybe I need to start all my new product searches with EBay.

I am frustrated with this app, as I wanted to watch a specific show and I got bamboozled by only being able to watch two eps with my Amazon Prime and THEN a box pops up that says 'to continue watching you must get EPIX'. Figured I'd try the free trial to at least see if the show remained interesting, to make it worth a month's subscription. And, then it get's extra frustrating. I download it to continue watching but that tells me I have to go to a desktop or other device to log in with my service provider? Apparently, have to log in with my service provider. So, I log in under one of my two 'cable providers' and go back to the TV to finish the set up. THEN, I get to the show I want to watch and click it and am told I have to download the APP? Do that AND, then it says I have to add a subscription (assumably pay my cable provider to 'add' EPIX). I gave up at this point and will wait for the show to come on a reputable streaming service OR DVD. Worst part, after all of that, I'm on here trying to cancel my 'free' 7-day trial before I get charged for this tom-foolery and there's no option to do so. So, I get to call and deal with this mess. Negative stars would be amazing at this point of wasted time.

I'm tech savvy and can't get this to work with Amazon Fire Stick. G@D help people who are not computer literate. Unless the final season of Game Of Thrones was going to be shown on EPIX, I will never give it another chance, even if they fix the sign in glitches. There's nothing on EPIX I MUST see or can't see somewhere else for free. It's supposed to be free with Amazon Prime which is the only reason I tried. I cannot imagine anyone paying ten bucks for this minor league "entertainment."

selected free trial offer, but would not let me sign in because I had no cable provider. Had to actually find a movie first and then play it, go through the frustration of clicking through several links to finally find the "select your TV provider" that had FireStick TV as an option. After watching movie and closed the app, I returned to the HOME screen of my Firestick and tried to re-launch the app - but it went back to asking to "select TV provider"! At this point I decided to simply remove the app and return to normal.

I'm only giving it one star because the movie selection is decent, but not great. My biggest pet peeve is that it uses way to much resources and slows down everything causing the movie to buffer all the time. Also when you are watching a movie when it gets loud it's too loud, and when there's dialog it's too low. I'm always fumbling with the volume to either raise it or lower it.

after downloading it the next time I wanted to watch something it requested me to go to a web site to do something or another, I didn't do it, I just figured that it wasn't ready for normal use.

If I understand this Epix and Epix now are two separate channels...I have Epix but none of EpixNow is avail to me unless I get the 7 day trial? Also how does Hulu figure into this? It’s a little confusing so I’ll have to cancel until I know what I’m paying for

I didn't get to enjoy the app. My issue is if you're a prime member, then this should be included. I'm finding that every app that I or a family member likes has a membership. I have cable and these shows are at a cost as well. Its just making me more less interested in downloading for this very reason.
