Way too many commercials
Contresa
I’m on a 7 day free trial day 1 1/2 and so ready to give it up. I started watching a movie and had to stop. When I went back to it, I had to watch all the commercials first. Then finding where I left off had to watch the same commercials again! No worth it to me.
THIS APP IS HORRIBLE!!!!

I love the content but the application is horrible. Please use the same application as you did for the paid app (which was not the best at first) to get this one up to speed.
Great Idea, Awful Design, Awful, Awful, Awful!

I was so excited, elated even to find that Hallmark Channel finally got with the 21st century and making their new Christmas movies available to stream. I’ve been hooked on the network’s holiday movies for a solid five years, if not longer, but without a DVR to my name, I would miss inevitably new releases. Finally, I thought, I wouldn’t miss any new 2020 films. How wrong I was. My excitement has turned to aggravation and anger over the sheer amount of problems I’ve encountered with this app. First, if you start watching a movie and say, have to answer a phone call and close out of it, the app does not and will not save your place. You’re forced to sit through what you’ve already watched once before, because fast forwarding and even rewinding is disabled. I’ve realized I need to devote time to watch a movie once and once only, because I refuse to sit through an hour of a movie I’ve already watched...the night before. Every single commercial from the original broadcast is transferred to the app, and each commercial break is five minutes long. Most of the time, watching a show or movie on demand means the ads are cut out, even a few minutes, but no, not Hallmark. In fact, I’m writing this review waiting for the commercials to end. It ruins the overall movie experience, and the reason I even have access to this app is because I already pay for it through my cable subscription. Also, why are the 2020 Christmas movies only available for less than two days? People do have lives, especially in the months leading up to the big holiday. Four new movies are put up available onto the app, two from Saturday, two from Sunday—yay, great—and they’re gone before the end of the week. Lifetime, probably Hallmark’s biggest competition with Christmas movies, has been releasing their new movies on a similar schedule and they’re allowing subscribers to watch them for weeks afterward. I’ll be honest, I’ve been watching more Lifetime because of their app’s ease of use and overall better design interface in comparison to Hallmark. Oh, and instead of sitting through five minute commercial breaks, they’re cut in half. A two hour movie, most of it ads, is reduced to 90 minutes. Step it up, Hallmark. Hallmark can fix their app, if they’re willing to read people’s complaints. My mother also wrote a review for this app weeks ago and it was never published. ?
30 min. in goes to ads with no way out

My wife has a huge hallmark fan and we actually pay for The channel on Roku. Since were in Hawaii for Christmas I thought I would give her the ability to stream it from our phone to the TV. This worked well for the first 30 minutes of the movie and then it started playing nonstop advertising. When I got tired of the advertising I hit the X on my phone only to find that that took me out of the movie completely. When I started the movie back up it went to plane constant ads again with no way out. Absolute and total waste of time! This app deserves a zero!

They release a movie and disable your ability to rewind or fast forward through it. You have to sit through ten incredibly long commercials every time you open the app and they’re always the same ones. It’s maddening! If you fall asleep during the movie and it plays to the end, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO START FROM THE BEGINNING! They remove your ability to find your place in the movie. You have to watch it over and over without ever getting through it. THEN they REMOVE the movie from the platform and you can’t EVER see the end! ISN’T 2020 HORRIBLE ENOUGH, HALLMARK?!?!? Give us fast forward and rewind. And can you compromise on the amount of commercials and allow us to watch LESS OF THEM? Or how about you mix it up a little? I promise McCormick spices that I will PURPOSELY NOT BUY their products because just looking at their label gives me bad feelings after being forced to watch their commercials every single time I want to watch a Hallmark movie. I just wanted some happily ever afters this season, but you wrapped them up in this impossible to navigate app. Please, fix it.
App is very unstable

The app crashes or locks up all the time. And why does it require dual authentication every time you open the app. Poor design.
