Used to love
I had a membership for almost 3 years but cancelled due to A24 partnering with Google AI. Not interested in whatever slop they make in the future.
Purchased content not usable
I have several A24 blu rays bought through their store which come with digital copies in this app. However the copyright protection means that you cannot stream the sound to air pods, Bluetooth headphones or speakers, or literally any other device. Also if you try to AirPlay onto a TV or do screen mirroring the copyright protection also blacks out your screen so you get no video and no sound. I purchased this content and am trying to watch it through the official app on devices that I own. What is this protecting me from? Just an awful and very consumer unfriendly choice made presumably to stop piracy. Thanks to this stupid choice the content I paid for is unusable for me.

Terrible app
I purchased physical media and received a digital copy of the movie. It said I had to use the A24 app in order to watch my digital copy. I created an account on the app and attempted to watch the movie and it will not load. It either goes to a black screen, or it goes to a blurred out screen with the play button over top of the blurred out image. I have tried turning off my iPad and turning it back on, and it is not working. I’ve seen other reviewers say that this app is absolutely terrible. 824 seriously needs to address these issues. They don’t even allow you to download your digital copies to your device so I literally cannot watch this movie. I would give this zero stars if I was able to.

Valiant Effort
Insanely buggy, works only 1/3 of the time.
App not responding and black out
I tried reinstalling and then logging in. Even though I entered the correct email and password, the proceed button didn’t work. The next time I opened the app, it blacked out again.
Horrible app
Can’t even log in without having to delete the app and redownload and then still can’t login all this for a 50% off ticket such a waste of time
No Apple TV app, no subtitles
Pretty useless.
Please improve the app
Love everything but the fact that the player in the app sucks. At least let us link it to Apple TV so we can watch it on tv without having to use air play.
Love a24 but this app is a little embarrassing
Not being able to airplay in full quality or sound is no good. Plus constantly having sound issues where the audio won’t play and I have to swipe out of the app to try and make the movie play correctly. Overall this app looks good but is functionally really questionable.
Fun app, only had one issue
I’ve been a member periodically for a few years now. It’s a great app for A24 fans and film lovers. I really love the gifts and perks. I’ve also purchased some merch. I only had one issue recently. I had a few family members sign up on the app to receive a few free months. I forgot one of these family members (months ago) had given me their card to use as payment. They cancelled their A24 account in Dec but were charged for the membership last month. We forget their card was attached to my account. Long story short, A24 customer service saw the card was attached to me and took liberty to cancel my account and without consulting me for a payment. My account was cancelled and my money based credit that had built up on my account was gone. I re opened my account and asked customer service if I could get my $15 credit back and they claimed it impossible to redeem that for me. I love this app but cancelling my clearly active account without consulting me and then not redeeming the credit I earned. Really rubbed me the wrong way.

Extremely high value membership
This is the most bang for buck I’ve ever received from a movie membership. In just the first month, I’ve received a welcome package, two movie tickets, and a birthday gift worth $35.
All of this while supporting the arts, and my favorite indie film studio.

Horrible AirPlay Support
Takes 4-5 times restarting the app to get it to airplay…. Then it does so without audio. Can’t pause without having to restart this process.
This is a paid experience, and it’s horrible.

Disappointed
App is meh, some buttons to external links don’t work. Lost me completely at adding Kevin O’Leary to the Marty Supreme movie. Not supporting a maga in any way or any company that supports him. I can’t do much but I can spend my money where I see fit.
No Apple TV app, audio issues
Airplaying this app to an Apple TV is horrible. Sometimes the audio is gone, and I have to force quit or even restart my whole device. A24 needs to build a dedicated Apple TV immediately for this to be worth anything.
1-star until there’s an apple tv app

The Worst App Experience
Very unhelpful customer service, no chat or phone number available to fix very simple billing issues.
I love A24 films, but please fix your horrid customer service.

Trash?
This app is garbage. I only downloaded to claim my free digital download of Eddington but when I cast it to my tv a green distortion takes up half the screen.
Worst Place to Watch A24 Movies
Unfortunately, as the title says. If you receive a digital copy of a film on this app and want to watch it on your TV, there is no good way to do so. Using Airplay means you don’t get Dolby Atmos or Dolby Vision. Instead it streams in SDR! Why would you push people to watch movies in a way that is inferior to streaming directly from Apple TV instead? If A24 wants to have their own app, then they need to release an Apple TV app that streams the movies in their correct formats. Very disappointed with this app.

Great with one massive deal breaker
I love being part of the aaa24 program. Cool perks, well worth it. The thing is, it is virtually impossible to watch your OWNED library on any TV. Black screen when casting, app not available for Roku, Xbox, Smart TV. It’s really a shame that such a great company makes it so difficult to watch the movies you’ve paid for.

The all-time, undisputed, #1 most frustrating streaming app
This is an astonishingly poor app. A convoluted sign-in process if you aren’t a aaa24 subscriber. And annoying as that is you’ll have to plan on going through it almost every time you open the app. Crashing more often than it runs successfully. And since there isn’t an Apple TV app available, this (via airplay) is supposed to be the one way to view a digital movie you’ve purchased. Except trying to cast a movie from the app to your Apple TV box seems to be nearly impossible. I deeply regret purchasing a movie through A24 instead of just buying from just about anywhere else.
