Filmon App

Mr. Manager

Is anybody having issues with this App? It keeps saying that it's down for scheduled maintenance but then when I click into the reviews that people have made today, they claim it works fine and is fantastic

Working fine for me, seen that message the other evening but figured it was just doing what it said on the tin.

Just checked out on my iPad and it's still working fine. Delete it and reinstall should fix it.

It won't work over 3G.

It can work over 3G if your phone is jailbroken.

I know i'm a bit late, but it was working fine for me when I downloaded it last night, and just checked there and still no issues

clansman

Right I haven't a clue whats going on because now its working on 3G!
my phone is not jail broken...

Has anyone tried hooking their device up to the tv and playing Filmon so it can be seen on the tv?

I presume you have to be jailbroken and using Display Out and Resupported if it's an unofficial cable. Anyone tried it or have any suggestions ?

My phone isn't jailbroken and it works for me over 3G and WIFI.

Hey is this still a free service?
I remember when I was using the web app it started to ask for subscriptions.
I haven't been back to it since.

Dodge

Still, free. I think it requires registration. Worked for me today over 3g (and was excellent)

gzoladz

I hope they do not do as other developers that launch an app as free to build up a very a very big amount of positive feedback, to include an in-app purchase subscription at a later stage.

Mr. Manager

Ok, so I went home, connected to the Wi-Fi and it worked perfectly.

When I was out an about it worked fine off of 3G but now I'm getting the same white screen with a message saying "Scheduled maintenance.... Back soon!"

Ugh.

Works perfectly on the big screen over AirPlay.

I gave it a go with my cheap old composite cable off ebay and it worked a dream too. Delighted!
Thanks for the reply.

You're the second person to tell me that, coincidentally living within the 26 counties. Here in Belfast it works flawlessly for me, full picture without fail on all channels each and every time. Odd.

I'm using it on an iPad but no it's not jailbroken.

Leiva

Mine is jailbroken and still only audio

culabula

When it was (re)-released recently, it clearly stated in the Appstore that Airplay was a feature of it. Works perfectly for me in Belfast. I wonder if some rights issue is making full AirPlay certain territories only?

I'm wondering if it could be to do with the versions of the OS on both ATV2 and my iPad?

Certainly my ATV2 is not running the latest firmware as it's jailbroken and I haven't updated at all in the last few months.

It would be interesting to see, if anyone has a VPN, if it works using a UK IP address.

It does eventually just leave it playing a few minutes then it pops up on tv
