Conclusion
fmovief.net
Despite being labeled as a safe website, Fmovief falls into the category of websites that you can avoid based on your preference. It is spammy and doesn't have a lot of features to offer, unlike other streaming services. However, before we discuss the negative points about the platform, let's understand more about it in general.
What is Fmovief?
Fmovief is a streaming website that allows users to watch thousands of movies and TV shows for free. It has great content depth and a simple interface which makes it easier to find content. But, frequent misclicks and redirections make you reconsider your choices. I tried giving Fmovief a shot, and honestly, I have mixed feelings about streaming on this site. Now that I've shed some light on the platform, let's check out the benefits and drawbacks of streaming on Fmovief.
Why should you stream on Fmovief?
If you're a movie fan, then Fmovief is definitely worth checking out. The archive features some of the most popular and classic films from the past 68 years, and there are also a lot of great recommendations in the recommendation section. However, if you're looking to stream newer movies, you'll have to head over to the main section.
Ad-free Experience
The platform isn't necessarily ad-free. There is a framework visible on different parts of the website that indicates the size of the space and how much it costs to purchase. I assume that the developers intend to sell these spaces to private advertisers. But as of now, they don't seem to have any. So, till the time they find suitors, it's fair to say that the platform is ad-free.
Why shouldn?t you stream on Fmovief?
It is 2020 and the best streaming services have toggle options. The most important button is the "quality adjustment" button. Surprisingly, there is no option to do so and thus you have to rely on automatic resolution adjustment which isn't always the best. FMOVief lacks stable streaming and the lack of quality toggle just makes it rigid overall.
Decent Video Streaming
I'm not a big fan of the video player or the streaming capability. The player looks bland and outdated, and the streaming itself is not something to write home about. Apart from the initial loading time, there's a lot of lag and buffering in the initial stages. Now assuming that this is happening at 32MBPS, I'm not sure if an average internet user with a lower speed can even begin streaming on this platform.
Frequent misclicks
I have to inform you that, based on my analysis, I believe it is not safe to browse the website without using a VPN. This is because regardless of where you are on the website, if you click anywhere except the content, you are redirected to a third-party website. This can be frustrating because it undermines the site and makes users give up.
How to access Fmovief?
There are many ways to access the platform. 1. If you are looking for the website, you would likely find it on the first page of your search results. 2. You can access the website directly by using the link on the left. I recommend using a virtual private network (VPN) to access the website because of the frequent redirection and to protect your identity as well as your device.
Design
I feel ambivalent about the design on this website. The interface is clean, but the developer gives a hint as to where the website is headed. The light grey background with black text looks clean, but again it isn't 2010. The logo is random, but there's a proper flow of color combination throughout the website, so it's hard to label it as complete trash.
Header
However, this website takes a different approach by breaking down the genres into their own subsections.
The main sections on the website are Home, Free Shows, Action, Adventure, Animation, Comedy, Crime, Drama, Family, Fantasy, Horror, Romance, Sci-Fi and Thriller. Each of these subsections have been divided into separate genres for easier browsing.
Hero Section
The hero section has a designated leaderboard ad space. Under that, you have two sections. The left section has listings of various titles such as "Lion King," "The Wolf Hour," and "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw." The right section has ?Disclaimer? followed by a few more designated ad spaces that aren't filled yet.
Body
Lastly, you have the actual movie list on the right side of the page. You can sort this list by release year, movie rating, or genre.
The body section of this website has lots of meat. There is a movie listing on the left and a bunch of sections towards the right. First, you will find the "Archives" section where you can sort movies based upon their release year. Second, you have a "Recommended Movies" section that is followed by "Hot Movies," and "Random Movies." You have more than 10 options under each of these sections. If you are not satisfied with what you have seen here, you can even use the search bar to find a specific title. Lastly, you have the actual movie list on the right side of the page. You can sort this list by release year, movie rating, or genre.
Footer
I am not surprised that the website does not have any navigation options in the footer section. And thus, trusting the streaming site becomes even tougher as there is no DMCA Notice, Privacy Policy or other useful options to help you navigate the website. Just above the footer section, you will find various page numbers to manually browse through the content depth and that is all.
Inner Pages
The inner page of the streaming service is simple. There is a search bar at the top which does not belong there. When you are already on the streaming page, I do not know why you would need a search bar there. Under that, you will find an integrated stream player which does not have any significant toggle options. Upon scrolling further, you will find information about the title you are streaming and that is about it.
Content
The three sections on the homepage that I like the most are "Recommended Movies", "Hot Movies", and "Random Movies". Just based on these categories, we can learn about the content prowess of this platform.
The movies listed are some of our favorites and are recommended for viewers who want to rest their eyes and be entertained. Some of these movies include ?Sleepless?, ?Rings?, ?Fifty Shades Darker?, ?Logan?, ?Paterson?, ?The Edge of Seventeen?, ?Split?, ?Miss Sloane?, ?A Dog?s Purpose?, ?Jackie?", and ?XXX: Return of Xander Cage?".
Many popular movies have been released in the past year, including "Frozen", "The Wolf of Wall Street", "Lone Survivor", "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire", "American Sniper", "We're the Millers", "Ride Along?", "Thor: The Dark World", "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa?", "Django Unchained?", "Fast & Furious 6", "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug", and many more.
Which movies are going to be playing at the movie theater today? Random Movies includes Public Enemies, Escape from Planet Earth, Shepherds and Butchers, Below Her Mouth, Riddle, and The Legend of Hercules.
Desktop/Mobile experience
I streamed Fmovief from my Acer Aspire and my Google Pixel 3a. The mobile streaming experience was terrible and so I didn't pursue streaming on that device. Though the website was responsive, the misclicks made it frustrating to continue any longer. As for the desktop experience, the stream was decent. It wasn't the best as there was constant lag and the stream would buffer after every 5 minutes. Since there was no option to adjust the quality manually, I felt like I was trapped with this website and so that wasn't a pleasing streaming experience.
I tried again a couple of days later and the streaming was much better, with minimal buffering. However, the video quality was still not desirable.
Suggestions I have for Fmovief
There are many issues with the streaming capabilities of this website. One big issue is that the stream player is unreliable, so users bounce off the website right away. Additionally, trying to attract advertisers is not the best way to resolve these issues - the developers need to focus on fixing core features first.
Conclusion
For me, the fall in quality of for-me streaming falls into the grey area. Even if you're out of options and you want a streaming website, I would have a hard time recommending this one. The streaming falls flat and, aside from the user interface and content placement, everything else is quite ordinary and outdated.
