Have been watching "Gone Baby Gone" and the movie stops every few minutes for the same commercials - very little film watching. Also the commercials are way too loud. Next time this happens with a Fawesome movie, I will get out of it right away and go to another channel with less commercials and better sound. I thought I like this channel, but now I know better.
I agree. I just watched my first movie on Fawesome, and it will be my last. Exactly at every multiple of 8 minutes, there were many commercials. But the worst part was, they were the SAME commercials each time, including some that played multiple time during the same break! Actually, the very worst part, and I am not making this up, 4 out of every 5 commercials were Kamala Harris commercials! Unbelievably disappointing.
Watched one movie and uninstall the app.
Agree commercials ruin fawesome. I would pay to not have them. A great library of tv and movies , but unwatchable due to 7 to 8 minutes commercial breaks . Commercial also occurs every 7 to 8 minutes makes watching anything almost impossible.
Unfortunately. I will agree The Fawesome channel/app on the Roku is painful, especially the last few years. The ad frequency on it is what I consider excessive and abusive.
However, if you watch directly from the Fawesome website, it is a much better experience. https://fawesome.tv/home/
Depending on your setup, you can watch with very little commercials or no commercials.
By going directly to the Fawesome website, you can watch via a browser and either connect a laptop directly to your TV via HDMI cable (bypassing the Roku) or casting it through your Roku to your TV.
As streamers, if a channel/app produces an unpleasant viewing experience one way on any platform, then the user should explore other legitimate methods in order to get the same content in a more acceptable manner.
Since many of these streaming channels/apps have their own websites to view content, I regularly just use a laptop with my TV. (or you can use mobile device like phone/tablet to get the content to your TV).
It is not unreasonable to be subjected to some ads while watching free content, but there is a reasonable limit.
edited to add... Not even sure why there continues to be so many ads with their library content since their Live TV (not available on the website, but is through the Roku) is very reasonable with the ad breaks.
Yup, I deleted the fawesome apps. Nothing like creating an extremely unpleasant viewing experience.
I agree. It is EXCESSIVE and repetitive to the point of being unwatchable. It makes me feel like I'm living in an episode of Black Mirror. It's way too much. I deleted the app. I couldn't sit through a whole movie on Fawesome.
I would suggest reaching out to Fawesome customer service directly and letting them know. Their customer service email is support@futuretodayinc.com
Have you reached out to them? Did they give you any inclination on this being a fixable issue?
