Sign-up process could be more informative: FuboTV offers a number of add-on services and channel packages, such as DVR and additional simultaneous streams. The other services in this category don't offer discounted subscriptions, which gives FuboTV an edge. The regular price is $45 a month, so that's a pretty deep discount (and the content selection is roughly on par with the competition in the $40-$50 range).
#FUBO TV APP FOR MAC TRIAL#
Heavily discounted first month: If you sign up via the FuboTV website, you get your first month for $20, after your 7-day free trial is over. However, we'd like to be able to navigate the channel guide in landscape mode, because portrait mode only exposes the next 90 minutes or so of a channel's schedule unless you start swiping. These different sections and components all load quickly and smoothly, and the app makes subtle use of color gradients and font sizes in a way that makes the experience feel kind of fancy. You can tap on the video to set up picture-in-picture, enable captions, or stream to an Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, or Google Chromecast device that's on the same Wi-Fi network (so you're not limited to watching on a potentially small mobile device screen).
You can swipe left and right on an individual channel to see that day's programming schedule, and tap on any currently streaming content to get a synopsis and options to play or record. Tapping on Channels shows you a live TV channel guide (which sounds obvious, but Hulu with Live TV actually doesn't provide this). It's pretty easy to get around the app: A ribbon of icons at the bottom of the screen provides shortcuts to the popular sections: Sports, Series, Movies, Channels, and My Fubo.
And not only can you scroll down to see the entire week's worth of games, you can also go back a couple days and watch a previous game, even if you didn't tag it previously for DVR storage. Tapping on Baseball, for example, will show you today's schedule for your local teams and give you the option to record the game ahead of time. If that's not enough, there's a More Sports button at the bottom that expands to show boxing, tennis, MMA, horse racing, rugby, and "Other." At the time of review, this last category covered bull riding, women's lacrosse, college softball, and surfing. Sports coverage is legitimately good: Despite the absence of ESPN and its family of channels, FuboTV does a very good job of presenting a variety of sports, with featured games in a carousel at the top of the Sports section in the app, a schedule of upcoming games right below that, and a list of different sports that let you drill down into baseball, soccer, American football, hockey, basketball, racing, golf, and even cycling. It's not the cheapest one, but for fans of live sports, it's definitely worth checking out. If you're ready to take the plunge into streaming live TV over the internet instead of via cable or satellite, you can add FuboTV to the steadily growing pile of options.
