Droid X blockbuster app on EVO (or something similar)
 

So i went into Verizon store to be nosy about their Droid X an i saw a blockbuster app. The lady told me that i could rent or buy movies an have them downloaded directly to the phone where i can watch it .. Now uhhh i would LOVE to do something like that on my EVO is there an app to do that or a way that it can be done? Just throwing that question out there...

The app is availible but hasnt been ported yet for the evo

I downloaded the blockbuster app to my EVO and it seems to work fine. I have yet to download and watch a movie, but everything else functions great. I just wish it had the ability to update your online queue and that movies were a little cheaper. They want like 4 bucks to download a movie to your phone.

I read last friday that netflix is offically launching "watch instantly" to android soon.

The BB app is on the market, but it force closes on EVERYTHING

AVA's latest rom has the blockbuster app on it. You might want to check it out. It works great.

Ill wait on netflix... my girl already has a subscription :evil4:

Re: Droid X blockbuster app on EVO (or something similar)
 

+1 on netflix, BB movies are $3.99 to rent, Netflix streaming is free if your a subscriber

Re: Droid X blockbuster app on EVO (or something similar)
 

They may charge for the app. AFAIK they haven't said 1 way or another

Re: Droid X blockbuster app on EVO (or something similar)
 

mspot movies is in the market place and it like the blockbuster app, it also offers a random free movie every week...

Re: Droid X blockbuster app on EVO (or something similar)
 

The blockbuster app is still not on the market. It also doesn't work on the evo. How have some of you saying your using it. A little help please.

Re: Droid X blockbuster app on EVO (or something similar)
 

BB was working for me, ( i don't remember which ROM i was on..) but it is a pay per movie and $4 each is crazy, there are others places i can download them for free and copy them over and watch them when i want....

I have been reading about the netflix app for months now... and also read they "just" hired an android person to work on this app... doesn't sound like it will be out anytime soon... i hope it comes soon and is included in normal netflix membership, like wii and ps3 ...

Re: Droid X blockbuster app on EVO (or something similar)
 

I just downloaded the app from the xda link in this thread and it loaded on my evo with no problem. I havent tried downloading anymovies tho because I dont have an account nor am i paying $4 for someting that I could watch for free/cheaper.... Bring on the NETFLIX-oid lol

Edit 1: I almost want to pay just to see if it will work and how it looks tho
Edit 2: Just registered and created an account so far so good... interestingly enough at the top of the screen it says BB mobile Powered by SPRINT ???? I will take the dive and try to rent a video in a little bit (BTW I'm running the Freshh Rom)
Edit 2.5: Downloading a movie now with no problems so far. WiFi downloads only and its sloooow! *Speed improved on my home wifi started downloading at the gym

Re: Droid X blockbuster app on EVO (or something similar)
 

I think they pulled it because it was force closings on everything, I got it from the market, but I don't see it there now

Re: Droid X blockbuster app on EVO (or something similar)
 

Waiting for edit 3 to see if you were able to watch a movie.... Thanks for the updates

Re: Droid X blockbuster app on EVO (or something similar)
 

I'm going to have to check this out an see how it is... Appreciate the heads up on the app.

I downloaded from xda on my evo and got it registered and activated fine but it wont do anything. I cant even get it to list any movies. Ive tried on 3g and wifi

Ok so after it finally downloaded I hit play and..... LICENSE EXPIRED. I got a big fail! For some reason its saying that the license expired even tho I just finished downloading. I checked my newly created BB online account (from my laptop) and I couldn't find any evidence of the download.

I am not going to try it again 1. because they did still charge me. 2. Because at the end of the day it just isnt that convenient. If it streamed maybe, but as a download service I just dont see the point. Why pay for a $4 rental when I could just download it to my computer for FREE and transfer to my sd card and watch it as often and for as long as I'd like (albeit illegally lol). I'll just wait for Netflix, I'd rather pay monthly for an unlimited streaming video library (even if lower quality) than having to pay per movie, download to my sd and only have a limited viewing window. Even if the Netflix app isnt free I'd still prefer this option as long as its a reasonable price.

Feel free to give it a shot but imho its just not worth it, even if it did work correctly. But the money was worth it tho, now we know lol.

Uninstalling now...

Re: Droid X blockbuster app on EVO (or something similar)
 

Yea the $4 price tag is a lot... An if thats just rental i rather just download an put on SD card... But maybe the netflix will be cheaper

After purchasing a movie i had the same results as the above poster. This morning i woke up to $3000 in fraudulent charges on my debit card. Hopefully this was just a coincidence.
Attempt with caution

I am already with Netflix so I will wait for them to come out with an app.
