The Good

  • No subscription
  • Perks and rewards
  • Rent or purchase

No Subscriptions

Fandango Now offers a streaming movie and TV service with no subscription. Customers simply watch what they want when they want. Users may also purchase a Fandango gift card that may be used towards movie tickets or the streaming service. 

Large Movie and TV Library

There is over 6,500 movies and TV shows available to watch through Fandango Now. Some movies have bonus content, which might include director's commentary.  Many are fresh out of theatres and are cheaper to stream rather than purchasing movies on DVD and Blu-ray. The streaming service is simple to use with smart TVs or the Fandango app. 

Rent or Own

Customers can rent or purchase movies and TV episodes through Fandango Now.

Reward Points

With Fandango VIP, Fandango Now allows customers to earn reward points when renting or buying movies and TV episodes. Fandango VIP members unlock a reward for every 600 points earned. Members can get movie tickets to theatres, credit to stream on Fandango Now with the mobile app, or FanShop movie gear.

Fandango Now has many great features to their new services. Not only do customers not pay a monthly subscription, but their rental and purchase prices are reasonable and consistent with the industry. In addition, Fandango Now's selection of movies and TV episodes is extremely large for how new their services are.  Customers can choose from over 6,500 movies and TV shows.

The Bad

  • No unlimited streaming options
  • Not as many device options
  • No parental controls

No Unlimited Streaming

Because FandangoNow doesn't offer a subscription-based streaming TV package, customers have to rent or purchase every movie or TV episode they want to watch.  They don't have unlimited access to a large library like Netflix or Amazon Prime.

Not as Many Streaming Device Options

FandangoNow doesn't stream on as many devices as some of its competitors.  They don't support the Apple TV, XBox, PlayStation or PlayStation Vue, etc.  Fandango Now does run on all web browsers and as a mobile app, but not many streaming devices.

UltraViolet Account

Customers have to create an UltraViolet account and link it with their Fandango Now account in order to access and watch movies from the cloud.

No Parental Controls

FandangoNow does not have parental controls for their customers to use for movie and TV purchase and rentals. Overall, FandangoNow has a few drawbacks customers should be aware of before they start purchasing and renting movies and TV episodes.  The main concern is that Fandango Now is not available on a large variety of streaming devices.  If you stream movies and TV through an Apple TV, XBox, or Playstation you are out of luck for now.

The Bottom Line

FandangoNow is a great new on-demand video streaming service option, providing customers with the ability to earn reward points through movie and TV purchase and rentals.  Reward points can then be redeemed for a percentage off the customer's next purchase.  In addition, FandangoNow has a very large library and selection for customers to choose from, with over 6,500 movies and TV episodes. However, FandangoNow is limited in their streaming services due to the lack of devices customers can stream on.  FandangoNow works on Samsung, Vizio, and LQ smart TVs 2011 and older, also Roku and Chromecast.  But it doesn't work on the Apple TV, XBox, or Playstation.  And customers have to create an UltraViolet and link it with their FandangoNow account in order to access and watch purchased and rented movies and TV episodes. Overall, Fandango Now is a great service for people not wanting a subscription-based streaming tv service and who have a Roku, Chromecast, or Smart TV.

i use this on my galaxy 6. the reviews for tmobile tuesday are amazing. i too use tmobile tuesdays and it works great for me and have been using it for 2 months and have gotten my points as well. the only thing that sucks about fandango is that there is no app for it on my windows pc. and also through my laptop browser, it sucks terribly, buffering every 5 minutes. other than that its on as long as i watch on my phone or tablet, which i hook up to my tv for a bigger screen.

I first learned about Fandango Now when I had credit to spend from my Fandango account. Its free to join and you can rent or buy movies and watch on any TV that streams apps or any device. Often times they will have really cheap movies to purchase for under $5 and then they are yours to keep forever to watch on a plane, or whenever you have your phone handy and have some free time. I like the convenience and the variety of movies and shows they have to offer.

Fandango Now is a good place to get movies and shows, and watch them in HD for a good price. You can buy or rent movies and shows. They release movies a couple days after a new movie comes out in theater. I like going on Fandango and rent a movie for several days and be able to watch it when I have the time to. I think its a good place to get movies and shows for an affordable price.

Fandango now lets you watch movies that are not out in Redbox yet. They also offer lots of discounts and promotions and the quality of the movies are excellent .
