Is the SHOWTIME Anytime app free?
I have been trying to figure out if the new SHOWTIME Anytime app is free, and I have been having a hard time finding it.
Is it free? The page doesn't say it is free, but when you go to the app store, it says "SHOWTIME ANYTIME is free on the App Store" but it does not say that SHOWTIME Anytime is free on the app store. Is this just a promotional page or something? If it is free, how do you get it?
Thanks for the reply! The question I had was if the SHOWTIME Anytime app was free, and not if the content on the app was free. Yes, I am looking for something like the SHOWTIME Anytime app. The SHOWTIME Anytime app has shows listed on the main page, and you can watch them right on your phone. You can also search for them. But the page says it's free.
Thanks for the info! That is good to know. So the content is free, just like you said.

Is SHOWTIME Anytime app being discontinued?
I've been using the showtime anytime app for a long time and I liked that.
Today I tried to log in and it was not responding. The next thing I know, they took away the showtime anytime app because the login was no longer supported. I use both the regular SHOWTIME.com apps as well as the showtime anytime app at the same time because I have different plans and use shows from both networks.
Can someone please shed some light on this for me? If you wish to continue the conversation, please start a new thread. You can get help from other users by reading threads with matching tags or visiting Thanks for posting I use Showtime Anytime, because its the only way to get all shows off of Starz for free without the need of an account with Starz. Plus its a great way to browse and see what is available on my device without the need of typing out each and every channel or show.
As of right now, the new season is not available. They are telling me that I have to purchase it via their website. I'm fine with that if I knew where to find the season through Showtime Anytime.
I've found the series list and all the seasons are available. I can access all the episodes on my phone as well as my tv. The one annoyance that I noticed while trying it out on my television was that there was not a way to pause while watching.
Also, when I hit next episode button, sometimes it loads the next episode then goes back to the previous episode that I was watching. It's more noticeable on the television.
I'm fine with the way its set up now, just curious about what I'm missing. For those with the new season and not happy with it, it may be a sign that you will be losing this feature and that they are going to stop giving out the app for free when you want to watch on SHO.
