  1. 5/5Great affordable service

    I have a ton of streaming subscriptions and am frustrated that they don’t allow you to download movies/shows to watch offline- or if they do- they are limited and most of them expire within 48 hours after you start to watch them, and you can only watch them once. Playon Cloud is easy to install and once you place shows in your queue- you can just close your device and let them download in the cloud. You can either set them to auto download to your device or go out using the downloader and put them on a PC. I chose to download them to a PC as MP4 files because I want to be able to move on and off my device as space is needed. If you download them to your iPad/iPhone - it places them inside your app where you can watch them, but you can’t move them- all you can do is delete them. If you ever want to watch them again- as long as they are still saved in your cloud files, you can still download them again, but that’s more of a pain than just putting them on a USB thumb drive. A little frustration at first when it took a couple hours for the recording to start going- but all got resolved. Apparently they do occasional server maintenance which will hold things up for a while.

  2. 5/5Best Cord-Cutting App

    Rather than setting up a television to a computer with display links, adapters, & additional cords to connect everything to a potential server, which stores your own movie library by playing the content on screen within a screen capturing program. PlayOn does absolutely all of this process for you 'virtually'! As was once dreamt up years ago as our streaming services properly enhanced themselves wihout glitches. Now the only reason to have to play the downloadable content, other than to pick & choose & watch it, is to test if PlayOn got a proper, glitch-free recording, and it has never failed to do so since having found this subscription service! From SD 480p to now FHD 1080p in the newly updated version of the PlayOn App, your downloaded movies & series can now be kept saved FOREVER! A MUST HAVE FOR ANY CINEPHILE!!!

  3. 5/5Great app, would like a few enhancements

    Great app providing a useful service at a low cost with easy functionality. Would love two basic enhancements if anyone out there is listening. First, start recordings where they left off when watching something in more than one sitting. This happens if I have to close the app for a few minutes but if it’s a longer amount of time (say, start in morning then resume in evening) the app defaults to start the recording from the beginning. Second, sorting of recordings should be A to Z, not Z to A. For example, if I download 5 episodes of a show the 5th episode is first by default. They allow you to switch the order but you have to do it every time you go to your recordings which is kind of annoying. Great app overall that I’ve recommended to quite a few folks since using it myself.

  4. 5/5Limited internet but still want your shows?

    Recently moved to an area with no high-speed connection and limited cell/data service. This app has been a lifesaver. Almost bit the bullet to get satellite..but sure glad I didn’t. Simply record the shows to the cloud and download them to your phone when on wifi. It’s a bit costlier than I’d prefer, but still far cheaper than going with a 2 year contract for satellite, and miss out on some of the shows that are streaming only. It’s a bit misleading that they say more recordings are only 20c each, when in reality most are going to pay $5 for 20. Would be nice to be able to airdrop shows to family members, as you’re tied to one device, but all-in-all very much worth it.

  5. 4/5Useful app marred by flaws

    Infinitely more convenient than the desktop app but some UI flaws and regular, obnoxious popups definitely hurt the experience. Also, they’ve discontinued the cheaper plan without the additional storage which is annoying. 7 days is enough time for most people to download their recordings but being forced to purchase the 100 GB limit is just another way to raise prices it seems. The app isn’t clear about expiration dates for the recordings as there’s no mention of times just dates in the app or accompanying emails. And the regular popups trying to sell more credit packs or always trying to get me to use triple the credits for 1080p get super annoying. I wish there was a way to turn all of that off especially as a paying member.
