Will definitely be using Argo in the future. ### 5/5 — Perfect for short breaks *2021-06-30, version 0.8.0* This is a great little app for short films. Perfect for fifteen-minute lunch breaks when I need some high-quality entertainment, great for short breaks from working on a screenplay when I need a little inspiration. Wish it had more exclusive content, though. ### 5/5 — i 💓 short films! *2021-06-30, version 0.8.0* Argo is an easy, accessible way to support smaller artists and experience unique media!

Unless Argo wants to face any legal repercussions, then Argo must refund me the $6.99. This is no joke. Considering there is no help line to call and no one has replied yet, so I will be reviewing this scam of an app. You should be removed from the app store. Thank you ### 1/5 — Cannot watch a movie in certain region *2023-06-04, version 1.2.3* So i wanted to watch the film “Makassar is a city for football Fans” that is in the pride playlist, and keep in mind that I myself am an Indonesian and are currently in INDONESIA. But, whenever I tried to play the film, it says that “the playlist are only currently available in Indonesia. We’ll notify you once it is in your region” or something like that. Like bruh, I AM IN INDONESIA, like what the hell? fix your goddamn app man, cmon. It’s stupid. I try to find the settings to change the region to Indonesia but there seems to be no setting for that. Tried VPN but it didn’t work as well. Now. Do it now. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work for me *2022-10-05, version 1.0.1* Not sure why but even with subscription I can only see the trailers which is obviously not going to be enough, so unsubscribed… would have been a great app to have if it actually worked. ### 1/5 — I can’t play anything [NOT FIXED!] Disappointed *2022-07-27, version 0.9.9* I just signed up because I was so excited to see some short movies a friend had recommended to me. But I can't play anything! The app it's broken! I'm so disappointed 🙁 *UPDATE: It worked for like a day and then it stopped again. The support team just quit on me, never replied, or try to fix the issue. ### 1/5 — More overpriced subscription trickery *2022-01-11, version 0.9.4* I wanted to watch a short I had heard of, and saw that you could sign up for free- great! Once I downloaded the app it promoted me to start a free trial, after which it’s £6 per month. To cancel I had to go into the App Store and unsubscribe to avoid being charged, and to delete the account there is another purposefully confusing process. A shame because I’m sure the content is great, but this whole subscription trickery business really puts me off. ### 1/5 — :( *2021-11-12, version 0.9.2* Couldn’t watch detainment cuz it’s not free bye ### 1/5 — Just don’t. *2021-03-15* A circular nightmare of epic proportions trying to get this to work. After installing the app, I then registered online, then returned to the app just to have it constantly telling me to register online. Round and around I went till I gave up and deleted it. What a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-01-28, version 0.6.8* App doesn’t load past the “Argo” landing page bit. Have tried deleting and reinstalling ### 1/5 — Awesome app! ❤️ *2021-01-22, version 0.6.8* A really good discovery of mine in January! I’ve been really into indie short films from independent filmmakers/actors and this is such a good way to support and showcase the work of talented artists ❤️ ### 3/5 — Please add Chromecast ability *2021-02-25, version 0.7.2* The app is fine but in iOS it got no Chromecast ability, only Airplay. Please add Chromecast ability to make it more inclusive. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great for those who want to dive deeper into film! *2021-07-01, version 0.8.0* I just started using Argo, and I can’t be happier that I did! I haven’t had the desire watch full length films, and this app provided me with great short films that were exactly the length I wanted. ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-07-01, version 0.8.0* Fun app. Don’t usually watch short films, but I’ll def check this out. ### 5/5 — Very easy to use *2021-07-01, version 0.8.0* This is a great platform. I’m always supporting the arts. App is sleek, visually pleasing. Very accessible, playlists are very helpful in finding what I want to watch. 5/5. ### 5/5 — How can I get my film on here? *2021-07-01, version 0.8.0* Love the app, love supporting filmmakers. Just wondering if there’s a way for me to put my short film on here? Thanks! ### 5/5 — Argo 5/5 *2021-07-01, version 0.8.0* Been hearing about Argo around my college campus, but I never knew what it was.
