I can’t find how to get it on my phone. It’s really annoying because I am going for dinner with my family and need it to be able to use the discount. I don’t want to take my cumbersome iPad with me. My husband isn’t happy with the new app either and says it’s not as easy to use as the old app. I’ve had the app previously and haven’t had any problems in the past. The app really needs attention to sort out problems for users. ### 4/5 — Miss J *2025-12-31, version 11.4.1* I bought my membership from my chosen charity as I wanted to support them but pleasantly surprised by the value of the travel savings. Have used several times for this and have saved thousands of dollars on a holiday and overnight stays. The gift card discounts have been great for Christmas shopping too. Easily made back the cost of the membership multiple times over. ### 2/5 — Availability of offers declined massively *2025-08-20, version 11.3.4* I have used the Entertainment Book for over 10 years. The availability of offers has really declined, especially in Victoria/Melbourne, seems like all the restaurants got out in Covid and when the EB ownership changed hands. Be nice to see the entertainment book team try and get more restaurants onboard. I’m travelling Australia next year and there seems to be more availability and better choices interstate so I will keep membership for that but once back in Melbourne I’ll just use EatClub and first table. ### 4/5 — Come a long way *2025-05-26, version 11.3.1* This app has been around for a long time in many incarnations. This product continues to be a great deal and worth the money. ### 1/5 — Poor app *2025-05-04, version 11.3.1* Without a doubt the worst search function. Will routinely point to restaurants in Bali even when I am looking for restaurants in Perth. Cannot search on basis of cuisine unless you select fine dining. ### 1/5 — Useless app, false advertising, can’t even use the website either *2025-04-20, version 11.3.1* Bought the $120 1 year membership today purely to access Sea World discounts for tomorrow. Then went straight to the page in the app and the link did not work. Finally found out from searching the page that I had to book on the desktop… but when I logged into the desktop site it was not working “under maintenance”. Bring back the actual book. The app is a rip off. At least the book actually worked to use!!! ### 1/5 — Lag in app *2025-04-20, version 11.3.1* The offers are great but the app is just getting worse. It is slow to load, freezes and then closes. ### 1/5 — Poor app *2025-04-10, version 11.3.1* The book and concept are good. But the app is very buggy ### 2/5 — Use to be a great app *2025-03-15, version 11.3.1* This app use to be good easy to find a particular place you were looking for close to you. Now it has places come up that are sometimes 3k away. Not a fan of what they did. But it is good to save money ### 1/5 — Terrible app don’t bother *2025-02-21, version 11.3.0* Every version is just as bad or getting worse. Long load times. Random log out. Unable to search. Unresponsive. Search shows unrelated results. Search result shows Croc’s Playcentre at Prospect when I typed in “Muffin Break”. ### 2/5 — Buggy *2025-02-11, version 11.3.0* A slow and buggy app that contains some good offers ### 1/5 — Terrible app but a necessary evil *2025-02-07, version 11.3.0* Slow, buggy and generally rubbish app. I hate using it but I have no choice if I want to use those tasty discounts. ### 1/5 — App is unusable after updates. *2025-01-06, version 11.3.0* What happened to the app. I used to search using the map to see what’s nearby. But after update there’s no map option, and I can’t even enter a location. ### 1/5 — The map is useless *2025-01-05, version 11.3.0* On my iPhone 15, there is no way of seeing the business from the icons showing on the map. Pointless. ### 2/5 — Issues with both software and management problem *2025-01-02, version 11.3.0* Been using initially the Entertainment book and then the software app for about 20 years. The concept is good because it allows businesses to get more customers and for customers to enjoy more for less. The implementation of the app has been very difficult and caused many frustrations. For some reason, it seems to think that I’m in Sydney while I’m actually in Melbourne. Also, the usability of the app is quite difficult despite the many updates. Before it used to be a bit unattractive but functional but now it looks more attractive, but very dysfunctional. What has led me to post this negative review, however, is the internal processes of the company. About a month ago, I went to business that refused to honor the voucher. The owner told me that they no longer doing this promotion. I then contacted the entertainment book so that other people won’t experience this issue. I received a template response that they should be investigated. The easiest way to solve this would be to suspend the merchant from the app until the matter is investigated. However, a week later, the merchant was still available, and other people would have been experiencing the same issues. Then I followed up a month later and the same merchant was still there. I then went to another venue who refused to honor the discount and when I launched the complaint, I received the same template response as I had previously. However, because it has happened to me the second time and no action was taken even after I complained a month earlier, I can only assume that the company doesn’t care enough if customers are inconvenienced by this. When I took even more of my time and called the phone number to figure out why this is happening, they told me that for the last month they haven’t been able to contact the original merchant so as a result, they left the merchant in the system. And the only way they will remove the merchant from the system is when that merchant says that they want to be removed. In the meantime, if customers suffer, then it’s just tough luck. When I had a similar issue 10 years ago, the CEO reached out to me directly and they were able to solve the issue… by removing the merchant and crediting the discount to my kids school … so obviously the approach to customer service has changed over the years. Given my experience, I would now recommend the EatClub app where all of the merchants are recent and they also offer a reimbursement of the discount if anything goes wrong. Not to mention that the app EatClub is completely free… and the interface and functionality are way better as well. Having used it for a few weeks, I find it superior in every single way. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Latest update sucks *2026-06-30, version 11.4.4* Nearly all search filters have been removed, the app was bad before and now it’s just atrocious ### 1/5 — Constant issues *2026-05-13, version 11.4.3* No way to activate membership until you log out first, once activated it doesn't even appear active in the account, absolute rubbish app ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work at all *2026-03-09, version 11.4.2* This app is fraud do not buy. Password reset doesn’t work call centre phone doesn’t work this is a scam ### 1/5 — App still terrible *2026-02-11, version 11.4.2* Search / filters / map doesn’t work Old app was much better. After 2 years and multiple updates still not any better. ### 1/5 — The old app is WAY better *2026-02-05, version 11.4.2* It’s been 4 years and I still think the old one is way better, they need to put some development into this app ### 1/5 — Too Complicated *2025-12-30, version 11.4.1* Liked the previous App. Hate the moving screen. Actually preferred the book!!! ### 1/5 — Not many deals as previous years *2025-10-20, version 11.4.0* Low amounts of deals! Esp. 2 for 1 ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2025-10-07, version 11.3.6* Very impractical and Confusing. I wish you could clearly see all the relevant options in a straightforward way and be able to customise it. The older versions were much more intuitive. ### 1/5 — Don’t do it. *2025-05-30, version 11.3.3* Biggest waste of money ever. Just give money to your chosen charity. There’s basically nothing useful within the coupons. ### 1/5 — App is terrible *2025-05-23, version 11.3.1* I thought it was just me but the app is awful. It’s slow, it doesn’t search properly. Do the designers actually go in and try using it like the user does? I have been a long time Entertainment book user, back in the day when it was a physical book, then it changed to an app and worked fine but in the last year or so, it is just awful. I won’t be signing up again. Developers: Do some decent beta testing on this app and you’ll see how bad it is. NB: I bought a two year multi city. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Save money find great restaurants and cafes *2026-07-25, version 11.4.4* I have saved over one thousand dollars in six months through using the ENTERTAINMENT App. I’ve found some great cafes that I never would have known about otherwise. I don’t even use all the other saving opportunities so most people would save even more than me. The App shows you in each geographical area all the different places where you can get 25% off the total and where you can get two for one entries. There’s also travel and accommodation options and so much more. When you purchase this App you designate a charity to get a commission. As a cafe or business owner, you will get customers you might not otherwise. So ENTERTAINMENT APP is a win win for everyone. ### 5/5 — Outstanding app and service *2026-05-30, version 11.4.3* I have had a great experience using this app and saved lots of money. I have also had a really positive experience with their customer service staff as well. They have some exceptional promotions. Definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-01-19, version 11.4.1* So far, so good - on track to save over $2,000 in 12-months. Thanks Entertainment! ### 5/5 — The App seems to be working well *2025-07-21* I was skeptical of the app because of the previous reviews, but decided to become a member anyway, because of the great discounts. Turns out the technical team seems to have come a long way in fixing the issues with the app, which has been working perfectly for my previous bookings. Could still improve the navigability with the entertainment travel functions and make a more user friendly search menu. Other than that it is just great. **Developer response:** Hi Dan, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. I am so glad to hear that our App has exceeded your expectations and that you are finding value in your Membership to The Entertainment App. I appreciate your feedback regarding navigability and search on Entertainment Travel, I will pass this back onto our team. Thanks again, Nyssa ### 5/5 — Entertainment Guide *2024-11-13, version 11.2.7* I got mine in support of The Southport School but a lot of great causes sell the app. I use it almost everyday to explore new places with a special discount. Always surprised by the quality venues on board. Everyone wins! ### 5/5 — I adore the Entertainment Membership *2024-11-11, version 11.2.7* I have only used the app twice and have already saved over $70. I’ve gone out with friends to a really nice restaurant in my local city and also saved on my David Jones shopping by buying the gift cards online. I want to look into the holiday deals as well, as I can save $1000’s ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-10-21, version 11.2.6* Purchased the multi-city membership and used on our 2 week holiday in Queensland. We saved almost $200. Definitely worth getting. I’ve noticed a lot more offers in my local area lately too. ### 5/5 — Two Weeks In and We’ve Saved Hundreds!! *2024-08-19, version 11.2.6* I’ve only had The Entertainment App for two weeks and I’ve saved hundreds! We’re a family of four and we only dine out or treat our self occasionally but with The Entertainment App great discounts on offer, we have been treating our self more than ever! We wished we’ve known about this sooner! ### 5/5 — Every household needs this app! *2024-08-06, version 11.2.5* What a money saver! Absolutely loving this app! We saved close to $900 on our flights home to the uk with Emirates plus another $120 on local activities and dining out in the Gold Coast. I’ve only had the app for a month. Can’t wait to see what other things I can save on. I’ve been telling all my friends and family about this app! ### 5/5 — Perfect for families *2024-07-15, version 11.2.5* With three kids, we got our moneys worth in the first week. The updates in the app make it simpler to find what we’re after and I’m seeing more and more new businesses popping up in here. We don’t eat out as much as we used to so are using the app to save in other ways, like Woolies and Dans vouchers for our own shopping, vouchers for gifts for family as most live interstate, accommodation for family travel and more. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
