It was automatic
They were just there when he opened the app last night.
You can also pull down the screen to update if your device has that function.

They are all now downloaded so we can watch them when out.
Am really thinking about buying a cheap tablet just for that app. It would be better than buying a portable DVD player. Ours died last year and I have been meaning to replace it. But I would buy the amount of films you can get free on there.

Omo please can I pick your brains? I've really tried to do the full amount of 250 nectar points a week, but the videos keep resetting to zero and not giving me anymore, is this normal?

Last week I managed close to 240 when it did it, but this week I'm only at about 75 and every video is now 0 the first week I managed to get my full amount. I'm quite annoyed with it actually.

I've heard good things about the hudl. Portable DVD players aren't too expensive, but carting the DVDs about too can get a pain. Downloading a bunch of films just takes time (& broadband) so that's a good option. Some tablets be can connected up to your tv too, so if you're in a hotel, you can hook it up and watch films in the room. I've got a cheap DVD player from Aldi and we hooked it up to the hotel tv and watched stuff on there when away.
Not sure if it's just streaming or if you can download films, but don't forget tescos clubcard tv. They've got quite a lot on there.

Thanks OmO just refreshed it and its showing fast and furious , is the app still showing as free?

I have it on phone and ipad but when I try and download a film it started and freezes and wont continue to download! I tried switching ipad off and on and updates but no luck! Frustrating because when I next go to Scotland I would like to download a few films to watch on the coach! x

Feisty, is absolutely every video now showing 0? Usually for me when it does that, if I scroll along enough then some new ones will appear with points available to claim. I thought it was to stop me from watching the same ones over and over again, but maybe it's glitching? I'd also be sure to keep a record of the points you've accumulated if I were you, lots of people have said they've frequently not received the correct number of points for the week, and they could only claim because they had kept a record.

I've given up with it, I do the double points video of the week and maybe one other but otherwise don't bother. They've made it so much more difficult to get the full 250 points than when it was being beta tested. From my experience, if you've watched all the videos a couple of times and got the points available on them, they won't refresh to have more points available until Wednesday or Thursday.

As everyone else has said it's very hit and miss with points. I am at 184 this week, which is pretty good as some weeks I am lucky to get 50.

I have no idea what's going on. Googled the app this morning and Apple have pulled it from the App Store. Some sites are going mad over it. They are saying it shouldn't have been available over here, only America, and it shouldn't have been free. But then they are saying if you already have it Apple can't do anything. I think we were lucky to get it when we did.
The thread I saw it on was pulled from MSE as well.

Which means my idea of getting a second tablet for films is no more an option.

When I download a film I always watch another one at the same time as the app has to stay open during the whole download.
I downloaded all 6 F&F films in one go today so I'm having no issues at the moment. But who knows what will happen in the future.
