### 5/5 — Movie app

*2026-08-22, version 5.14.0*

Incredible app for looking up reviews and getting tickets for the newest movies. Thank You

### 5/5 — Thanks for this $5 movie ticket

*2026-08-21, version 5.14.0*

I love watching $5 movies. I even invite my children and relatives to watch movies. Thanks to T-Mobile Tuesday too.

### 5/5 — Simply Simple

*2026-08-21, version 5.14.0*

Very easy to navigate and loved the promo

### 5/5 — The Best App

*2026-08-19, version 5.14.0*

Amoo esta Aplicación. Fácil y Rápido pero sobretodo Accesible. 🔥🔥🔥🙏

### 1/5 — Atom gave me wrong information

*2026-08-13, version 5.14.0*

We purchased tickets through Atom app to see a movie August 2nd at Flix Brewhouse at 12pm in screen 2. We are arrived 30 minutes early only to find a different movie playing. The manager was not sure why Atom gave us the wrong information so she put us in a different screen for the same movie. We lost 15 minutes of the movie since it already started. I contacted Atom support and their answer was I need to contact Flix Brewhouse for their mistake. Flix Brewhouse has nothing to do with Atom giving me the wrong information. I’ll never purchase tickets from Atom again. I’m shocked that this has happened since I’ve been purchasing from Atom for years and this has never happened until now. I deleted the Atom app and will purchase my tickets through Flix Brewhouse website from now on.

### 1/5 — THIEVES, SCAMMERS

*2026-08-12, version 5.14.0*

I used to love the Atom app but their customer service to resolve issues SUCKS. I have contacted them 4 times about a cancellation ahead of time because the app wasn’t letting me and the day of the movie came, no response from them so the movie played and they have a no refund policy but how is it my fault that their stupid app didn’t allow me to cancel DAYS before the movie, and I even contacted them directly. They are THIEVES. UNETHICAL. UNPROFESSIONAL. SCAMMERS.

### 2/5 — Can’t use gift card

*2026-08-09, version 5.14.0*

Did not allow me to use gift card for my purchase!

### 2/5 — Trouble rescheduled

*2026-08-09, version 5.14.0*

I tried to reschedule for Spider Man but they allow gave me $5 which won’t be enough to pay for the new ticket. I tried emailing and calling customer service several times, but no response. I need help with this.

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2026-08-06, version 5.14.0*

Do not use !! We used it cus of tmobile ! This place is a scam.  They ruin your night !

### 1/5 — Would be nice if it worked

*2026-08-04, version 5.14.0*

I liked the details of the theaters and the special attributes of each screen. Every time I tried to actually reserve tickets it would error out. Restarted phone, reinstalled app, no help. Even better, it would then mark those seats as unavailable, so each time I had to select worse seats!

I had a promo for seeing Spider-man if I used Atom.

I decided it was better to actually have tickets, so I used Fandango.
