### 2/5 — Awful

*2026-08-10, version 10.33.5*

Removed it within twenty minutes of installing, completely useless, even worse than the website and that’s saying something.

### 1/5 — Worst app don’t buy unlimited subscription as it doesn’t work

*2026-04-04, version 10.33.5*

Worst app due to service option , doesn’t even have option for calling customer service

### 1/5 — Cannot sign up via app

*2026-04-01, version 10.33.5*

Absolutely rubbish. Tried signing up on iPad and iPhone and just keep getting an error message. Will use Vue instead

### 1/5 — What a joke

*2026-03-29, version 10.33.5*

I signed up,payed my subscription activated the account.when I went to book a film it said I was not old enough to book one ( I am in my 60,s) the IT dept said they would sort it,6 months later still paying my subscription and still not sorted.IT Dept said cancel the account and retry as they couldn’t fix it so I did I retried 3 months later after 4 attempts finally got the account to work except they are now taking 2 payments a month I have tried to email them but I only get the same reply (send copy of bank statement ) 4replies later I am still no further on and they are still taking 2 payments a month.CUSTOMER SERVICE,NON EXISTANT no way to contact a person ,contact numbers don’t work there email reply doesn’t seem to get to anybody that cares .They wonder why there numbers are don’t increase 
WHAT A JOKE, MAYBE TRADING STANDERS MIGHT HELP AS A LAST RESORT

### 1/5 — We where not allowed to watch a movie with a trusted adult

*2026-02-27, version 10.33.5*

I’m really disappointed with this experience. We were told we could watch a movie, but when the time came, we weren’t allowed to. There wasn’t a clear explanation, and it felt unfair and unorganized. We had been looking forward to it, and the sudden change was frustrating.

If there were rules or restrictions, they should have been explained clearly from the beginning. Instead, it felt like the decision was made at the last minute without considering how it would affect us. Overall, it was disappointing and poorly handled.

### 1/5 — Sad to see you supporting fascism

*2026-01-31, version 10.33.5*

I really want to support local cinemas. Have had the Cineworld app for a long time. I opened the app today and was greeted with an advert for a puff film about the woman who is married to Donal trump. This is a moment when we all have to stand against fascism. Sorry Cineworld, if you support fascism, I can’t support you.

### 1/5 — App & Unlimited

*2026-01-06, version 10.33.5*

Garbage. Constantly losing my unlimited subscription although the card is there. Lost count of the number of times I’ve removed and re added it. Happy to take your subscription but after that…awful. If only the Odeon was a bit closer.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-01-04, version 10.33.5*

Its not working properly. Unable to sign in with iphone 17max pro

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-12-27, version 10.33.5*

Can’t book or look. 
App crashes at a cinema search. Gets stuck. Useless!!

### 1/5 — Wrong Location pick

*2025-12-26, version 10.33.5*

This app is picking up the wrong location. When you try to book please beware of the location coz the app pick the location randomly and if you didn't focus you will loose your money and their staff is very uncooperative.

### 1/5 — Incomplete app

*2025-12-08, version 10.33.4*

This feels like an app that was never actually finished. You can book and view tickets and view your unlimited card, but that’s about it.  

Want to see how long you’ve been subscribed to unlimited? Nope
Want to see when your next payment for unlimited is due? Nope
Want to manage your payment methods for unlimited? What do you think… (Nope!)

As much as I like the unlimited product, an app from such a large entertainment company has no place missing so many features.

### 1/5 — No Apple Wallet or Add to Calendar

*2025-12-06, version 10.33.4*

Update as at 6th December 2025 Cineworld remains obsessed with keeping things in app, presumably to control the data. But for those of us who like Add to Calendar and Apple Wallet, it’s a real pain. This app remains disappointing

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2025-12-05, version 10.33.4*

This is the most frustrating app I have ever used. No option to rest password. All I get is an error stating that something has gone wrong. The app feedback button in the app does not work. I could go on…. It might just be me but so fed up I have given up.

### 1/5 — Log- in

*2026-08-30, version 10.33.5*

it won’t let me log into my account OR reset my password

### 1/5 — the worst app

*2026-08-29, version 10.33.5*

it won’t let me log in to buy the unlimited card, just hits me with “error” like what. only trying to give your company my money but if it doesn’t want it, i could always go to vue

### 1/5 — Just use the website

*2026-08-10, version 10.33.5*

It’s an absolute fad. Menu’s are unusable. Unlimited option doesn’t work 90% of the time have to reload about 6 times for it to work. Just use the website it’s much easier than this absolute rubbish.

### 1/5 — Dangerous

*2026-08-06, version 10.33.5*

They don’t review their ad pop ups after you buy a movie ticket, so dodgy websites like fanclubs may pop up, claiming cash back on purchases but it’s intended to scam you. Don’t think it’s trustworthy just because it popped up on Cineworld.

### 1/5 — Unlimited

*2026-07-30, version 10.33.5*

I can no longer book on the app with my unlimited card even though I’ve been charged twice awful customer service non existent.

### 1/5 — Can’t find any cinemas

*2026-07-26, version 10.33.5*

Search function for cinemas near you does not work. No cinemas are showing and nothing comes up when I put anything into the search bar. Can’t really see the point of the app if I can’t locate a local cinema to buy a movie ticket from.

### 1/5 — Membership scam!!!

*2026-06-04, version 10.33.5*

Sign up to the membership at your own risk - the deal is great if you got regularly to the cinema, but they actively don’t respond to your request to cancel!! The don’t allow you to cancel online either, so the only route is through email (which is buried!!!) and now they’ve taken a month and recharged me for the following month because they’ve taken so long. Still no sign of reply, just automated emails saying they’ll get back to me. AVOID

### 1/5 — Location Services

*2026-05-18, version 10.33.5*

The location on the app doesn’t work, I have London as my area and it says there are no cinemas nearby

### 1/5 — Films not showing

*2026-04-20, version 10.33.5*

Most of the time a lot of the films aren’t showing on the app

### 1/5 — ONE STAR

*2026-04-20, version 10.33.5*

It lied to me because on the website on google it said they had The Last Act but when i went on the app it said no search thing SO THEY LIED TO ME😭 ✌️

### 5/5 — Cineworld app

*2026-05-28, version 10.33.5*

The app needs to be  updated more with better features for unlimited members in app notifications of new movies would be a nice feature request and to book mark ur upcoming  movies get pre notified when there out I notice the notification system does not even work when I try and use it so that needs to be fixed 

Better app updates to maintain app

### 5/5 — Cinema world

*2025-08-08, version 10.33.4*

Get tickets quick after your favourite movie

### 5/5 — KabIr

*2025-04-24, version 10.33.4*

Faiz

### 4/5 — Tesco Vouchers

*2026-05-20, version 10.33.5*

Needs an update to be able to use the Tesco club card vouchers to purchase tickets, only works on the website! 🤔

### 4/5 — THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS

*2026-04-19, version 10.33.5*

where is it?! everyone is asking and some cineworld are displaying it, but this app isn’t??

### 4/5 — Back Button Functiionslity

*2025-07-03, version 10.33.4*

99.5% of the time this app works absolutely flawlessly. However, it does have one major problem & that’s the back button function when trying to book tickets or searching for a film or cinema, etc. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes a single tap works. Sometimes multiple taps work. Sometimes you have to close the app & restart it. This needs sorting as it’s very irritating when trying to use the app.

### 3/5 — Flakey but otherwise good

*2026-07-30, version 10.33.5*

The app works well most of the time, but it really struggles whenever a popular new film goes on sale.

I’ve repeatedly tried to book tickets for the 18:30 showing of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, only to be met with a never-ending loading spinner before eventually receiving the message:

“Ticketing Unavailable. Oops! We’re afraid ticket sales aren’t working right now. Please try again in a few minutes!”

This isn’t an isolated incident. It seems to happen almost every time a major new release goes live, which is exactly when people need the app to work. It’s incredibly frustrating, especially for Unlimited members trying to secure good seats before screenings sell out.

Please invest in improving the reliability and capacity of the booking system during high-demand releases. A cinema booking app should be at its most dependable when excitement is at its highest.

Until this is addressed, it’s difficult to rely on the app for booking tickets to popular films.

### 3/5 — Love life

*2026-05-13, version 10.33.5*

I got a card for free because I have autism🥳🥳

### 3/5 — Landscape view required for 5 stars

*2026-02-20, version 10.33.5*

The app is a lot improved, but my M1 iPad Pro is permanently attached to its Magic Keyboard and to use Cineworld Cinemas I have to perch it on its side, or detach it completely.  I don’t think it is much to ask to make this app work in both portrait and landscape mode.  Come on Cineworld Devs… you got this!!

### 3/5 — Good performance, animations, but poor image quality

*2025-12-23, version 10.33.5*

Poor image quality for movie posters, animation is good, UX feels nice, noticed some weird screen flash when switching tabs.
