Fandango at Home (formerly VUDU) Reviews Summary

Bad Service
January 16, 2024

I bought an older movie that had bad language in it. This movie was only $5, but all the bad language was bleeped out and ruined the movie. The bad language starts about 15 minutes into the film so therefore I was not eligible for a refund. Very disappointed with this rule since I don't control how the movie was written or
Produced.

Purchase Error
December 30, 2023

In recent weeks, I have tried numerous times to buy a movie or show. The payment method is just fine. However, within half a second of getting a purchase confirmation, I get a purchase error. My transaction is canceled every time. I tried to reach out Customer Support and got the same answers that were found on the internet. Nothing and no one has been helpful. It's a system error on their part, and yet, nothing is being done to resolve this issue. Their Virtual Assistant is a joke too. I was second in line and got pushed to 4th in line. And waited for over an hour to reach someone.

Vudu has the worst picture quality of all streaming services. There customer service is by far the worst waited for 30 minutes for them to say they will send me a message with a number to help fix the problem. I definitely would recommend resetting your device and changing your password every month there is many problems with their service movies will shut down and lose sound. Also if you collect movies take a screenshot of your movies every week because they like to remove movies that you bought from your collection I can keep going but there are many better services like Amazon iTunes and even movies anywhere that are way better in prices and picture quality

First off, I purchased movies and redeemed codes from the time when Walmart owned VUDU only to have several of those titles disappear from My Movies and customer service give some dismissive response about not having any confirmation of purchase. It wasn't a lot of movies, but I kept documentation of actual dates of purchase and redemption of those movies into my account only to be told by customer service that they have no record of the movies that were previously in my VUDU account, and there was nothing they could do for a long-time customer with over 3,000 purchases. Then tonight, I tried to purchase a $4.99 Weekly Movie Deals only to be told by customer service that it doesn't matter that VUDU is advertising the movie at $4.99, it is not on sale and is actually $17.99. This is clearly deceptive advertising and a 180 revolution from customer service that was so helpful in past years. Buyers beware! There have to be better companies than this one where you won't be swindled and mislead by dishonest business practices.

It took for me to email and call vudu so I could cancel my service. In what world do you have to go this hard to cancel a streaming service? It should be a simple option on your account to cancel. Instead I deal with a rude condescending women who couldn't let me speak to her manager because allegedly they are too busy and don't want to tie up the lie. They can't give me a managers name and instead of putting me on hold to wait so I can wait for the manager they tell me I have to call back. The sales person was extremely rude and not helpful and I STILL DONT GAVE MY ACCOUNT CANCELLED! They purposely make it hard to cancel your account so they can continue to bill you every month for the service and it's disgusting.!

I've been pleased with the quality of digital movies I've purchased on Vudu. My only real complaint is the closed captioning, which I depend on. On many of my titles, the captioning comes and goes. On one title, it's up to a minute out of sync, a permanent condition for which there is no fix. I'm resigned to this. I delete and refresh my Vudu channel on Roky occasionally to improve its reliability, but that offers only temporary improvement. Assuming prices are the same or similar, I prefer now Apple TV Plus when buying digital content.

Will steal your movies!
June 13, 2023

I have purchased dozens of movies since before they changed from Fandango Now to Vudu. They replaced one of my purchased movies with a different one with the same title. Multiple contacts to customer service who lie and say they will escalate the matter. Then left hanging for half hour in the middle of a chat! They DO NOT CARE! You buy at your own risk! Never again!

Missing movies
May 23, 2023

Buyer be ware, I purchase thousands of movies over the past 5 years. Only to log in a few months ago, and more than half my movies disappeared. I have call customer service multiple times only to be told I have to talk to the escalated department that seem to never be there when I call. I was told over 10 times that I would get a call back within 72 hours to take care of problem. To my surprise noone call but I get a generated email trying to fix the problem which I did and didn't work. So I email customer support multiple times, still ko phone call and only to get same email back over and over again with same resolution that don't work. So basically at this point they are stealing money from me. I have purchased thousands of movies from them that I full own and they delete. Only to hear nothing back and same excuses over and over again. Not once have a got a phone call back, when I requested over 20 times.

I rented a movie and I only watched the first 30 minutes of it and fell asleep. The next day I worked 14 hours and was exhausted when I got home. I went to bed shortly after I got home to get up 4 to do it all over again. I get home at 6 and go to watch the rest of the movie and I can't. I call customer service and they said oh well, you can rent it again or buy it. Don't waste your money on them.

It's like nobody at VUDU cares anymore, all the sections are a complete mess, there is virtually no organization especially in the classic section, and never anything good on sale. I'm really disappointed and dissatisfied with VUDU lately and I'm definitely spending more on Amazon these days, they have more choices over all and particularly for Classic movie lovers like me, although I do actually spend just as much on new and popular movies. I can definitely tell VUDU's over all quality has slipped,and Amazon is gaining the ground. Shape up VUDU,unless you just don't want the sales. $$$

Smoke and Mirrors.
April 18, 2023

So after buying the last couple of movies, I noticed my streaming quality only goes up to HDX. Mostly everything I buy on the app is UHD (and yes all my devices are UHD HDR+ compatible). Started a chat at around 7PM (my time) and waited almost an hour in the queue. Finally connected to someone and went through their basic troubleshooting. That didn't work. After that, I was told she was going to send an email to create a Case Number. Usually a case number is generated prior to ending the chat so you can at least have a reference in the event you don't get an answer or need a follow up. Here it is at 9:00PM and no email to start the investigation. Seems to me that as long as they get your money they'll put you in a queue to wait until you give up and stop trying to contact them.

False advertising
March 29, 2023

Vudu had a bundle package where you can buy all fourJohn Wick movie series at $ 34,99. I tried to order it last night and it gave me the bundle packets for 4 John Wick but I could only open 3 books so I called customer service, the young lady not only didn't speak English, but she was telling me well you're just gonna have to wait until it comes out then she told me well they offered it to Vudu on the 24th but they just haven't released it to Vudu yet so you'll just have to wait I told her then that is false advertisement and I shouldn't have to pay for False Advertisement. She never once offered a refund she only said she'll have to escalate the call. The CS did that and told me to have a nice rest of my afternoon. My question is where's my refund and who's going to pay for my inconvenience.
