I just want an easy way to watch it. ### 5/5 — Great Content *2021-01-23, version 6.020.1* Love the great content that the Banff Center puts out every year. It’s great in these tough times of Covid that we can all continue to see the inspiring stories from the great outdoors. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2021-01-02, version 6.020.1* Banff continually combines artistry athleticism beauty consciousness and the amazing human spirit! I’m a huge fan and wish I could attempt some of these awesome feats! Thanks for sharing and inspiring! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2021-01-01, version 6.020.1* Great idea, great show! Keep up the awesome work, loved being able to attend from afar this year! ### 5/5 — Always so good *2021-01-01, version 6.020.1* An awesome experience, even if only online! Love the fest every year. ### 5/5 — Awesome films, awesome app! *2020-12-27, version 6.020.1* Awesome Banff! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2020-12-16, version 6.020.1* This is a great app and has made the films easy to watch! ### 5/5 — FWD/RWD next rev of software *2020-11-30, version 6.020.1* We love BMFF. The app would have benefited from a 15 or 30 sec rewind/advance when trying to change or find your place when screen mirroring on apple to Apple TV. Great content. ### 4/5 — PDF of program *2020-11-10, version 6.020.1* Hi Banff Mtn Festival Super event what a way to spend these COVID days! One suggestion— on the PDF of the program could you please expand and include all names of the grouped films? You might have to do a two-pager but it would help in finding where the shorter film were— when printed off its very handy to have by the TV , check off, make notes, voted or not etc 😊 ### 5/5 — Tremendous festival 2020 *2020-11-09, version 6.020.1* Will missed the World Tour but the virtual exceeded our expectations! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2020-11-07, version 6.020.1* Loving being able to still watch film fest, even if it’s from home. Super stoked for winter/snowboarding now!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Just bought a bundle, can’t view *2022-11-29, version 8.0* We’ve always enjoyed the Banff FF World Tour and we were so happy to see that we can now stream many of the films. We purchased a bundle of 3 films and received an email acknowledging our order but we can’t view the films either on the website or in the app. Of course chat is closed at 10 o’clock at night so there is no help available. The eventlive site promises an “exceptional” viewing experience. In 2022 not being able to see purchased films does qualify as exceptional. The eventlive chat guidelines prohibit offensive remarks, abusive content, and vulgar language. Sounds like they have a lot of unhappy users. Lots of 1-star reviews here also seem to indicate the same thing. Please be polite and professional. Inappropriate conduct or harassment towards chat participants will not be tolerated. No vulgar language or abusive conduct. Vulgar or abusive language, masked with symbols, characters abbreviations, or otherwise, will not be tolerated. No offensive remarks. Remarks or name-calling regarding a participant’s real or perceived race, color, national origin, age, sex or gender, sexual orientation, religion or other protected class will not be tolerated. ### 1/5 — Poorest *2022-04-10, version 7.304.1* Poorest ### 1/5 — Show nothing from 2021 season *2021-10-31, version 7.204.2* All no home button. All the content is from 2019 or later. Absolute 0 ### 1/5 — Banff app - not playing purchased videos *2021-02-14, version 6.020.1* Banff app not able to play purchased content. Very frustrating - tried all recommended troubleshooting suggestions! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with film festival purchase *2021-02-13, version 6.020.1* This doesn’t work with your virtual film festival purchase. Don’t bother ### 1/5 — Baniff *2020-12-26, version 6.020.1* This site is horrible ### 2/5 — Not user friendly *2022-03-19, version 7.204.2* Not very user friendly in my opinion. Should have content easily available to find and see. Difficult to search for, in my opinion. Would love to use this app, to watch things, but I’ll stick with YouTube, Netflix, etc for now. ### 2/5 — Does not auto connect to tv *2021-04-13, version 6.020.1* It might be my tv (HiSense) or the fact I use iPhone, but it did not cast to tv from the app. Even asked a friend who works at apple. Had to go through the website rather than app to play on a friends tv by HDMI cord from the computer. Finally downloaded a ROKU app to phone so I could go on internet/webpage for Banff. Would be nice for ROKU to have Banff app as a choice. But I’m sure there is a financial issue that prevents this. ### 2/5 — BFF Virtual *2020-11-02, version 6.020.1* Difficult (almost impossible) to navigate! ### 4/5 — Brings the festival home *2021-10-31, version 7.204.2* Can view all my purchased films in one place and can air play to a tv to get the full screen experience. Looking forward to future improvements to buy films within the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Banff from home *2022-03-02, version 7.204.2* I did the combo package from home and found it to be convenient I’m watching it over a period of time and watching all of the films. The subject matter was a little different from previous years but as always The film festival was grand. Thank you ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-02-18, version 7.204.2* I always love watching the creative arts sandwiched with the people pushing the limits in the outdoors! ### 5/5 — Look forward to this every year! *2021-11-07, version 7.204.2* All though we miss the film festival at the Portsmouth Music Hall. Bringing the virtual into out home is fantastic. Hats off the all those who make this happen. Extraordinary stories and film as always. Cheers! ### 5/5 — Epic stories *2021-11-01, version 7.204.2* We love watching adventures each year. ### 5/5 — Thank you COVID!! *2021-10-31, version 7.204.2* Not many good things came came as a result of covid but the one thing that did was…….. THE VIRTUAL FILM FESTIVAL!!! Thank you for giving us the ability to watch the film festival from the comfort of our home. ### 5/5 — Worth it *2021-10-22, version 7.204.2* I go every year to the film festival showing in Vernon. Sad we couldn’t do that this year but now I’m enjoying all the films from my comfy couch ### 5/5 — Great films!! *2021-06-25, version 6.020.1* Highly recommend these great films!! ### 5/5 — Casting works (but technical heads-up) *2021-02-27, version 6.020.1* Casts from your phone with chrome cast, which is great. Only issue is that when it’s casting, it eventually starts playing on your phone too. You can pause it on your phone without affecting the casting, but it’s a little annoying to do that every time ### 5/5 — Virtual BMFF Tour *2021-02-21, version 6.020.1* It’s too bad we can’t see the World Tour in person this year, but I’m glad we can still see the work of these great filmmakers. I think the filmmaker intros should stay, even when we’re able to return to watching together. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app ! *2021-01-25, version 6.020.1* Love being able to watch films via the app on my Apple TV and any packages I subscribe to. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
