AFN Now Hack 1.4 + Redeem Codes

I’d rather do V-ups alone in front of my entire battalion while the CSM screams and spits in my face for 10 hours straight than to spend another minute trying to get this app to work.

I’d rather be in front leaning rest without any authorized rest position for three straight days than to spend another minute trying to get this app to work.

I’d rather drive a spike through my foot, leave it there, and do an extended Norwegian Foot March inside a volcano than to spend another minute trying to get this app to work.

I have not been able to get a single show, sports game, or movie to play but I have, usually within 5 minutes of opening the app, been able to exceed my session limit. The app today just stopped loading categories and is just blank after it opens. I have never been able to get a movie to open. It has been frustrating and bothersome. No matter what the internet speed is that I am connected to it is the same problem. Stop advertising this on AFN OCONUS and getting our hopes up that we may be able to watch something and feel even slightly connected to home. All that happens is failure and frustration.

Don’t waste your time with the current version of this App!

After downloading and registering I discovered, like many others, that the app doesn’t work correctly most of the time and by some miracle when it does work the only options for “live” TV are AFN Sports and Sports 2. After contacting Defense Media Activity, I learned the news channel(s) are only available to those who reside on a military installation overseas. Not a great decision Defense Media Activity! You do understand that not all of your “customers” have the ability to live on a military installation? There are a lot of us that live on the economy.

Also I couldn’t get an answer on why the other AFN channels (Prime Atlantic, Prime Pacific, Movies, etc.) are not even an option to watch “live”. I thought the app was supposed to be equivalent to the programming offered via the AFN Decoder? I guess not.

Why won’t Defense Media Activity listen to their customers and fix the issues?

The app performs well and the interface is pretty intuitive. The live news is actually the AFN news channel, so lots of cable opinion shows on repeat. Hopefully the full launch will include some access to the actual networks.

My biggest wish is for the NFL to allow live streaming on the app, but thus may be too much to hope for since they have their own streaming apps.

I just don’t understand why there have been so many reviews discussing the problems and the bugs haven’t been fixed 115 should be more than enough to attempt to fix it. You have 115 people that have made a sacrifice to give up the things people find trivial like live tv, American sports, American movies. Then YOU offer them a small bit of home just to get their hopes up knowing that it doesn’t work well at all …… might as well not have even made the app if you aren’t going to update problems.

We’re in TLF off base in Japan, having just moved out of our off base house here. I’m pretty sure we used the AFN Now app occasionally on our FireTv Stick. I downloaded it to my IPad hoping to watch it here. Nope. When I search for the shows I watched using a VPN in my off-base house, I get an error message that that content isn’t available in my location. There is next to nothing available via the app.

And why is it in portrait mode? Why not landscape? It’s irritating to try and navigate the log in and menu sideways.

Registered successfully, confirmed email, logged in…nothing. Try to login again-session limit exceeded window pops up. I should have read the reviews first instead of wasting my time. It was a nice thought, though. After reading the reviews, the developer tells you to reach out for support-why is that the solution? It should work from the download. I’m not going to spend $20 on an international call.

This has happened three times now. After the first commercial break, the movie starts again from the beginning. When trying to fast forward to find where I was in the movie it appears part of the movie is missing. Makes it impossible to watch movies. This does not seem to be happening for TV shows.

Thank you for your response. I finally got the app to work but it seems it is not designed for iPad. Trying to negotiate it sideways is not easy. Is there any way you can update this app so that it will appear in landscape mode as most people use their iPad in landscape mode? Also, is sports the only live channels you plan on introducing? Thanks kindly.

It works fine on my older iPhone 7 and older Apple TV but absolutely does not work on my newer iPad Pro M1. There is very little content available from AFN right now unless you are a sports fan. Not even news is available. Maybe some day but for now it is just not ready for prime time. I have AFN HQ consulting with the creator of this app but so far it has been nearly 6 months and it still does not work.

I love this app. It has a few issues but I see them fixing things all the time. Cannot beat free NFL and other sports. They have HBO shows too. Such a great FREE app. Excellent response to feedback.
