HIDIVE

Never tracks what you are watching

The application gives the error message “Content Not Available” and when I go to the 3 bars in the top left, and click “log out” (even though this is the first start of the application) and the app reloaded and gave the same error. I confirmed internet connection, and I am on version 2.27.1(229)

The app crashes and the only reply you get from customer service is that it’s probably just your service

I hate that every time i try to watch sum i gotta type out the show, if you watch it from continue watching you cant continue to the next episode

First the app logs me out every time I shut it down. Takes several minutes to set it up every time I want to watch. Second the app is not easy or fun to navigate. It needs to be far more user friendly.

So far i’ve tried the 7 day free trial, but! I now have a month sub for 5.99… App is super buggy. They have a DECENT selection that being said not worth your money. They have season 1 and 2 of one show i’m watching, yet I can only watch up to episode 10 of season 1? and season 2 is also limited episode availability.

Somehow the UI has gotten worse and worse over time. It is genuinely baffling that something this poorly designed is owned by a big company like AMC and meant to be taken seriously as a legitimate competitor to services like Crunchyroll. Every time a series is licensed by Hidive, I just have to accept that I won’t be able to enjoy it, because the subtitles don’t work (and can’t be turned off), episode progress isn’t saved, and any QoL features that may have existed at some point in the past get gradually removed. It’s bad design to the point where it feels intentionally hostile. Do not pay a single cent for this app, it’s not worth it.

They have some decent shows but not much of a selection especially for dubs. It’s hard to tell if a show is even dubed unless you go into the “dubed” category. The app doesn’t even tell you what episodes you have already watched. The “continue watching” section will pile up fast if you don’t watch till the actual end. I honestly only have it for maybe 3 shows. I know it’s not worth it to me but I want to finish those shows.

This app is pretty frustrating, it stops playing and says no service when I have full wifi, then when reloading, it says content not available, so I have to reload the app and lose my place. On top of that it doesn’t save where you left off right, overall confusing to get back to where I left off, and keeps switching back to English dub instead of keeping it on sub.

The entire interface is a mess. Hard to go back to what you were watching. Selection is great but they need to fix this system. It’s annoying. Worst interface I’ve seen by far.
