Hallmark+

I love this app. I have seen so many reviews and comments about the content being older, but what do you expect? Why would Hallmark have their newest shows and movies on an app? Other networks do the same thing, it’s a business, which I understand. I love catching up on movies and shows I have not seen in years. It is absolutely worth the price, but probably won’t keep it long because there is so little content, it will not take long to get through what I want to watch. But no contracts so it is worth it!! I would love to see older tv shows on here, much like Sue Thomas. There are other family shows I would like to see them purchase and have on here, like Doc and Promised Land. They could offer more of their older movies, but they have a decent number of them. My only complaint is around functionality. It does not save the place where you left off watching a show so you have to scroll through to remember what episode you were on. It also fast forwards and rewinds weird. It skips over huge blocks of time and you cannot see scenes as you’re going so hard to find the specific spot you want. I have had it crash a couple of times, too. So far it always reopens, but it looses my spot and finding it again is hard with the way it fast forwards. Again, totally worth the money even though it has room for improvement.

I love finally having access to some of Hallmarks content but was disappointed because I paid for a few months of the service hoping I would get to watch all the Christmas movies. Even if they didn’t want to give us access to all their Christmas movies it was still such a small amount of holiday releases that I watched it all by the first week of December and then only released a few more after that. Also, there should be a feature that shows what you have recently watched because if you start a show or movie and don’t remember the name of it, you won’t be able to find it again without scrolling through all the content again. I would have just appreciated more info about what would be released on the app before I paid ie we love giving you access to our older movies and shows and while we won’t release 2019 movies on here there is enough to keep you happy through the New Year. At least then I would have kept waiting and expecting new content to come out

We are working on cutting the cord and it is hard to find a way to watch current offerings on Hallmark or especially Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channels. I mistakenly thought this would be my answer. Don’t be drawn in if you want anything current. Some of the series are so old that even the picture quality is bad. I love all the mystery movies offered on their Movies and Mysteries channel on cable, but they are nowhere to be found on this app. Another major problem is how clunky the app is. If you start a series, and there are many episodes, it doesn’t pick up where you left off! It takes you back to the start of the series every time, so you have to try and remember which episode you are on. This might not seem like a major problem unless you are elderly and have memory problems, and struggle with using technology, like my mother does. She is the main reason I subscribed to Hallmark Now, and it is totally worthless to her the way it is set up. I wish I had not subscribed to a full year. She cannot watch it unless I am there to help her every time, unlike Netflix and other apps that automatically pick up on the episode you are ready for. I did try to explain this problem to those who are there to help, but they didn’t seem to understand my problem at all. There doesn’t seem to be any help for this. Has anyone else had this problem, or is there something I am missing?

The app is great and functions well. Easy to navigate, sometimes glitches when I go from watching on my phone to watching on my computer saying I’m watching on more than one device even if I closed out on the other device. Other than that no issues on function. I love watching Christmas movies and came here for just that. I signed up last year and was EXTREMELY bummed to learn that the new countdown to Christmas movies were not on there. This year I’m even more bummed to learn that last years movies are not on there and there are barely any new movies from what was on their last year. I wish that you would do one of two things. Add more new Christmas movies to the movies and mistletoe section or make a movies and mistletoe app so we can pay for just that. I’m even ok if I have to watch them a year behind but currently I don’t get to watch any of them at all and I don’t think that is fair for 5.99 a month. I would love to hear back from someone about this. Thank you for your time in reading.

I cut the cord a year ago on cable because the amount of television I watched versus how much the bill was costing just wasn’t worth it. The only channel I miss is Hallmark, and more specifically the Countdown to Christmas on the channel. I found out about this app and I was elated!! I quickly downloaded the app and said “here, take my money!” After 7 days of watching the app and feasting on all things mistletoe, I’ve gone through all the content. Now, I don’t binge! I don’t have that kind of time. What I’m trying to say here is, the same 12 movies are all that are available! No new content has changed and with the shear amount of content that is available on the channel, I’m perplexed. How is it that cable customers pay the monthly rate for 100’s of channels and I pay $5 for one and I get very little??? That does not compute. I’m ending my subscription at the end of the month, which is so sad because I would most happily watch Christmas movies all. Year. Long!
