This is it!!!!!

### 5/5 — Great streaming service!

*2024-10-08*

Love Arrow, they have such a great selection of Japanese movies and even have commentaries for some of their movies. These people have great taste in their selection and obviously love movies, highly recommended.

Only complaint is the subtitle setting on the iPad is a little small (to be fair I’m getting older so smaller type is progressively harder for me to read)

### 4/5 — Attention Developers!!!

*2024-09-25*

Great app, love Arrow and all their flicks, the only issue I have is I cannot create an account so I can add movies to a watchlist.  I’ve downloaded the app and subscribed through Apple, I can watch all content no problem, it just gives me an error message every time I try to create an account.  Am I doing something wrong?   Would love to be able to save my fave flicks to a watchlist so I do t have to track them down each time I open the app.  Otherwise it’s perfect.

### 5/5 — Cult Classic Streaming

*2024-09-25, version 8.801.3*

Wide variety of content that will appeal to any cult film aficionado.

### 5/5 — Terrific streaming service!

*2024-07-07, version 8.500.1*

Great selection, and some of the titles even include their special features from the physical releases! Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Great selection

*2024-06-28, version 8.500.1*

I’m quite new to Arrow but it has a great selection of films.
The app is very easy to navigate and the monthly cost is very good for the amount of films on it.
I would highly recommend joining up.

### 5/5 — Great Selection of Films

### 5/5 — Physical media

*2024-04-18, version 8.500.1*

The best apps good too

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Shame about the app.

*2026-04-06, version 9.304.1*

The Arrow website is amazing. They put real care into their releases and communication with customers. I’ve bought a number of blu rays and they are always great. The app, however, keeps loading on a cache saved screen that won’t respond to any touch. I have to delete my entire safari history and data in order to get the app to load the home screen, which it does once and then reverts back to the unusable cache screen. I’m not doing that everytime I want to look at new releases, unless it’s sorted soon I’m ditching my subscription as it’s a waste of time and money!

### 1/5 — App is awful, customer service even worse.

*2024-01-16, version 8.200.1*

The app is buggy and doesn’t work correctly. Will not pause or allow subtitles on foreign films while watching on the app on my TV. All other major apps work fine. Netflix, prime, crave, Mubi, criterion. I’ve reached out multiple times and never received a response. Super disappointing. Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Arrow app experience

*2023-01-19, version 8.010.1*

App doesn’t work! Don’t waste your money and time like I did ! Video’s won’t play on the app! Total rip off! 6.99 wasted!

### 1/5 — doesn’t show subtitles when i mirror onto my tv

*2021-07-20, version 7.001.1*

u really need to sort this out and the fact that the sound is too low for my auto volume headphone

### 2/5 — Poor App Performance

*2024-01-31*

Love Arrow’s selection and all they do for the films they place on their platform, but unfortunately I can’t use this app. Only way for me to stream these films if from my iPhone—I attempt to cast it to my Samsung TV and the film either doesn’t load or sends me back to the menu with an error message. It’s been this way for months and months. It’s only for films that require subs, so it seems like maybe it would be a simple fix (I do not have this issue with the Criterion app, and they have almost identical interfaces, so what gives???).

### 2/5 — Early days, but it’s currently a no for me

*2021-03-02, version 6.120.1*

Hard to review a service like this so early on but I I unsubbed after an hour. Primary reason I signed up immediately was because Arrow’s blu rays are often incredible documents of both a film and its creation. No commentaries and the extras are weirdly segregated into one big content bucket rather than alongside the film they are about. They’re also pretty sparse.

Aside from that: very limited language options, no indication of quality of stream. 

Right now every arrow film is on sale for £2.99 on iTunes. Which makes more sense right now: buying 15 films to own forever or signing up to this?

### 3/5 — TV support needed

*2022-12-12, version 7.800.1*

Great app and selection of movies. But they desperately need TV (Samsung for myself) support. That’s why I’ve quit. Don’t like watching films on my iPad.

### 3/5 — Great Library, poor browsing

*2022-07-03, version 7.502.1*

Great selection of all of the horror/cult movies you could want, but is it too much to ask for a “Browse All” feature??

### 4/5 — Love it

*2025-07-12, version 9.100.1*

My favourtest stream service in terms of content and features. I find that sometimes there are issues with the downloaded movies though, as in they won’t play without internet even they’re supposed to be downloaded.

### 4/5 — Love it

*2025-04-27, version 9.009.1*

My favourtest stream service

### 5/5 — Best ever!

*2026-06-17, version 10.200.1*

Best app I have ever come across! And the cheapest too! Absolutely loving Arrow video, I can’t wait to start buying there 4k/blu rays too!

### 5/5 — Arrow

*2026-04-18, version 9.304.1*

### 5/5 — Best ever!

### 5/5 — One of the best streamers

*2026-03-01, version 9.304.1*

I love the deep deep cuts and they don't bog the site down with tons of the same old stuff you see on every other streamer. I’d love to see more oddball new indie on there

### 5/5 — ♥️ the movies.

*2026-02-24, version 9.304.1*

I ♥️ the movies you have.

### 5/5 — Worth every dime!

*2026-02-05*

If you are even remotely fluent in cult cinema then the Arrow Video ARROW Video Player feels less like a streaming app and more like a beautifully curated secret club that somehow let you in.

This is not an algorithm soup. This is a lovingly assembled shrine to genre. Horror. Giallo. Exploitation. Weird arthouse nightmares. Deep cut crime films. Stuff you have been hunting for for years and things you did not even know you needed until Arrow put it in front of you and said trust us.

The range is genuinely impressive. You get feature films that feel canon level essential alongside shorts that are smart strange and often braver than full length releases. It is a rare platform where shorts are treated as art instead of filler and that alone earns major points.

Then there are the special features. This is where Arrow really flexes. Commentaries. Essays. Archival interviews. Context. History. Nerdy deep dives. The same level of obsessive care you expect from an Arrow physical release is right there in the app. It feels premium because it is premium.

The presentation is also rock solid. High quality transfers. Thoughtful curation. Zero sense of content being dumped just to pad numbers. Everything feels intentional and that is increasingly rare in streaming.

And here is the real mic drop. A full year costs about the same as one really nice special edition 4K disc. One. Instead you get an entire year of exploration discovery and rewatching favorites with supplements intact. If you already trust Arrow with your shelf space then trusting them with your streaming time is a no brainer.

Bottom line. If you love cult cinema. If you care about context. If you miss when genre felt curated instead of content farmed. Buy the whole year. Worth every dime.

### 5/5 — Best App For Cult Movies

*2026-01-19, version 9.304.1*

Great price. Super selection. Print quality and extra supplemental material make this the gold standard. Love it. Recommended.

### 5/5 — Best Streamer Going

*2025-11-28, version 9.304.1*

Best price as well as product. More cult classics than you can shake a stick at.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2025-09-28, version 9.100.1*

If you are familiar with Arrow films, then you know you have great classic cult and obscure films that look and sound great. In some instances you get videos showcasing filmmakers and film historians taking about the making of their movies. Great selection. A must if you are a film fan.
