Broken
Have to be selective about when to subscribe due to high price but it’s worth it for the fantastic curation. What’s not worth $15 per month is a streaming app that can’t play for 30 seconds before quitting out of the film and bringing you back to the movie’s page. It’s not even buffering-I have to wait for it to quit out and then rebuffed before it will play again. I have good Internet and no other streaming app I use has this issue. I can skate by on downloads this month but a service this pricey has to actually function to be worth it. EDIT: this happens for downloads to so I guess it’s just wasted money.Show lessTotally not a student
Developer Response
First, we suggest reinstalling the app on your phone. If the issue continues after you’ve done so, please email us at support@mubi.com, so the team there can help improve your experience.Art over practicality - fonts & layouts impossible to read
This app needs to revisit graphic design 101. It would be nice to see what this app is all about but it’s a mishmash of styles and colors that push esthetics over good old fashion readability. They want $13 a month for the equivalent of art haus trash design. Just NO!
The app fails miserably at its primary goal which is to inform its users of great cinema. It’s extremely hard work to read. Click though to a review it quickly becomes sadistic and beyond frustrating to discover the art team made the choice to use anorexic light gray fonts more applicable to fashion models then simple block text for the body of an article. Until they embrace better design I recommend a hard pass.Show lessBanyan B
amazing app/subscription with major download issues
Mubi makes an incredible variety of films available, and their curated series are particularly impressive — easy introductions to new filmmakers, movements, or topics. That said, the download option is so hit-and-miss that it’s nearly useless. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, as well as tried many different wi-fi sources, but the result is always the same: more often than not, films get stuck at about 9% for weeks, or try for a while, and then fail. Given that one of the great things about an app like Mubi is being able to watch things offline, this is a huge flaw in an otherwise excellent service.Show lessINKling116
