What the hell happened to Funimation Now?

I don't recall it being one of the best streaming apps but now it is absolute garbage. For every hour I use the service it crashes atleast once and also buffers. Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+ all work just fine. Trying to watch the Kenshin movies has been ass.

Sometimes they do a shit job at updating the app. You can usually fix it by uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Some series for some reason are just bugged if you have a language auto set. On Railgun I have to specify either English or Sub for each episode or it'll crash.  If you're on a phone or tablet I'd check your heat levels. Sometimes it will crash apps if they're causing it to heat up. Sounds like that could be the issue if it's happening every hour like clockwork.

Same here elfie. Been using it a ton right now during this whole thing on both my PC browser and the android TV app (and sometimes on my ps4) and haven't been having any problems.

I forgot to specify I was talking about the PS4 version of the app. And a quick search on it showed that it just sucks ass for a lot of people. lol

PC did seem fine when I used it so I guess I'll reroute that to the big screen next time I do any lengthy marathon.

Oh yeah the sony version is the worst app version, it is rarely kept up to date.  I remember a couple of years ago it was behind the pc/xbox app by two versions and would usually crash on menu change. No idea why they drag their feet on keeping it up to date.

I do admit it's gonna be rough watching the second half of Fruits Basket today WITHOUT a simuldub.

Oh okay, the complaints I remember always seemed like weird nitpicks about their player itself, though I haven't really run into any problems with the PS4 app myself. Though I've been using the app on my sony oled and browser more than the PS4 one recenlty.

I like Crunchyroll. You won't get Funimation stuff but you can watch it on any device for free with a few ads but of course If you pay for it you don't have to watch the ads. If I can't get an anime legally there then I go to less than reputable places but I prefer to give to the industry when I can.

I forgot you can watch Crunchyroll with ads, I always pay for it when I use it. Lately the VRV package since that includes HIDIVE and Boomerang.
