IOS 11 Ready (64-bit Update is HERE!)
It finally happened, the Max Go app was updated! ... Still no Apple TV app though.
But more importantly, the After Dark section has finally been removed. Now, at first this might be upsetting to some people, but theres some considerations to make. Most of the late movies used to get rotated with the HBO Go app. Those movies were also made years ago and often featured women with [enhanced] talents. Late Night television is not what it once was and thats ultimately a good thing. What is a sad loss are Cinemaxs pretty good Late Night original shows they produced a few years ago. Those shows are not included in the Series section of the app. Cinemax also had the older traditional anthology late night shows, but their more recent series were closer to serialized dramas... Granted with more love scenes than their other original content shows. Of course, Cinemax has decided to move away from the "Skinimax" brand and instead focus on action shows and older blockbuster films. Thats the main reason to subscribe to Cinemax now and its still a pretty good deal.
So to recap: The app is finally ready for the future! But After Dark options has been removed entirely (even on your computer through their website). May the past rest in peace, heres to the present, and to the future.
Old Review:
With iOS 11, this app will no longer function, because it hasnt been updated with a 64-bit version. Hopefully Cinemax will recognize that it is time to rebuild the app in the vein of HBO Go/HBO Now. Maybe they could borrow a few cues from the impressive Starz app too.
Anyway, Im still using this app to AirPlay, which continues to run solidly. Hopefully an Apple TV app is on the horizon as well.
6/5/17 - Review Updated. Lowered score to 3 stars from 5, because of its impending end-of-life.
