### 3/5 — Invalid Credentials Bug

*2026-06-27*

I haven’t had any issues with the Event Cinemas app in the past, I actually found it to be a simple and effective means to booking tickets in comparison to other apps.

However, this past month or so the app hasn’t allowed me to log in. It displays an ‘Invalid Credentials’ message, despite those credentials working on the website.

Overall a 3/5 due to the app previously being great but now not working.

### 3/5 — Issue with the Widgets

*2026-01-17, version 10.5.0*

Whenever I add a widget to see the movie I have booked, it doesn’t show anything. It stays blank and only shows the current time in the middle.

Nothing has been showing up ever since the widgets have been added. Can this be fixed please.

### 3/5 — No Longer Useable

*2025-11-18, version 10.4.0*

Was a great app initially, now I am “in offline mode” and app doesn’t work. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still has the same issue

### 2/5 — Time deficiency

*2025-09-07, version 10.3.6*

I looked up the time for Sunday to watch the new conjuring movie, it told me that there’s a movie on at 6:15pm, luckily I got there early at Tuggerah. Because I told me that the only times were available when 9pm gold class.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2025-07-28*

The app is great to browse movie options, book, buy food and drinks when in the GC lounge, etc. but it’s 2025 and we still have to open the app and have the brightness blind us just to access our cinebuzz card 😭😭 when can we expect an “Add to Apple Wallet” option for the membership barcode? So much easier to open apple wallet with a double click at the POS when ordering tickets in person. I’d still be using the old keychain barcode card if mine hadn’t faded past usability

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-02-16, version 10.1.2*

I cannot log in using the app; reset my password and it won’t work on the app, but it does on the web.

### 1/5 — Would be good, but…

*2025-02-16, version 10.1.2*

Would be much higher but despite several attempts and no issues with login on website, the app does not work.

### 1/5 — App

*2025-02-16, version 10.1.2*

Can’t login in now

### 1/5 — Can’t login to Cinebuzz

*2025-02-16, version 10.1.2*

Pretty much useless if you can’t login to Cinebuzz. I can login via webpage but can’t via the app. Why bother creating such an app?

### 1/5 — Failure to login in now

*2025-02-15, version 10.1.2*

It no longer allows me to login I have even changed my password even though the password is correct and haven’t had issues for years until now.

### 1/5 — Gold class gift cards don’t work

*2025-01-29, version 10.1.2*

Raised a support request and no one responded

### 3/5 — Missing features competitors have.

*2025-01-14, version 10.1.2*

The app is generally "fine" and is able to book movie tickets, but the fact your Cinebuzz card isn't accessible on the app on the IOS app is odd and you can't add it to your Apple Wallet either is very frustrating.

### 3/5 — Swap sessions

*2025-01-12, version 10.1.2*

You can only swap once

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2024-12-30, version 10.1.2*

Try opening the QR code to take a photo it keeps crashing

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-12-29, version 10.1.2*

Cant login and cant reset password no biometric login available.

### 4/5 — Can’t remove from iPhone Island

*2024-12-17, version 10.1.2*

There’s no feature to remove the movie checkin feature from the iPhone island. It’s very annoying.

### 3/5 — Needs biometric login

*2024-11-22, version 10.1.2*

Please add to your app

### 1/5 — App crashing post checkin

*2024-08-02, version 10.0.16*

Team, the app keeps on crashing after checking in into the venue online.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — can’t log in

*2026-07-06, version 10.7.0*

can’t log in even though my user & password are definitely correct

### 1/5 — Invalid Credentials

*2026-07-05, version 10.7.0*

Can no longer login.

### 1/5 — Cinebuzz Account Bug

*2026-06-29, version 10.7.0*

Now unable to log into Cinebuzz account despite password being correct and also reset. App has been reinstalled but nothing fixes the issue

### 1/5 — Says incorrect password when it’s right

*2026-06-18, version 10.7.0*

The app has logged me out of my account and despite logging in to the website without issue and even changing my password just in case, I cannot log in via the app it just says invalid credentials

### 1/5 — Can’t even login. Why bother

*2026-06-17, version 10.7.0*

I can login to the web browser fine but on the app it’s “invalid credentials” every time. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Turned off wifi and VPN like most people say when trouble shooting. Nothing works. It should be this hard to LOG IN. what’s the point of your app if it doesn’t hold your account? No thanks.

### 1/5 — Add option to login with email

*2026-06-17, version 10.7.0*

Can’t login without my username which is a random string of numbers assigned by Event. Add the option to login with email like on the website

### 1/5 — Log on error

*2026-06-17, version 10.7.0*

Seems to be a ongoing problem logging in and resetting password. Such a sham as we used to visit often for kids movies

### 1/5 — horrible

*2026-03-15, version 10.6.1*

my mum bought tickets for me and my friend for scream 7 and they told us we couldn’t go in because we didn’t have an id but my mum bought the tickets for us i had my mums permission and there not my mum

### 1/5 — Every booking fails

*2026-01-27*

Absolutely useless app. Every time you try and book seats, you get to payment after reserving. The payment fails regardless of method and says to “contact us”. But the seats you had reserved are blocked out. I managed to block four rows of 3 seats after 4 attempts trying to transact. Going digital is fine - but when you can’t do the basics of paying for a movie booking you know it’s rubbish! How hard is it to make an app that lets you book movie tickets and pay!

### 1/5 — Violate users right to taking screenshots

*2025-03-10, version 10.1.2*

I bought 4 adults tickets for friends. We drove 2 cars. And the app doesn’t allow taking screenshots of parking tickets? 

How can I send the parking ticket for my friend’s car to exit the shopping mall? 

How dare you disallowed users from taking screenshots on their own mobiles? This is not for DRM/copy right issue or sensitive information like banks account. Even bank apps allow users taking screenshots for transactions.

Apple should ban you from use that API.

### 5/5 — Liv activities is a game changer

*2024-07-26*

I've been using the Event Cinemas app for a long time now, and it's generally been fantastic. Recently, it has become outstanding with the live activities notifications. These notifications sit on my screen, showing me what time the movie starts and allowing me to quickly check when the movie finishes. It's outstanding!

### 5/5 — Updated— App *No Longer* crashes when trying to check in

*2024-07-10*

updated feedback— Developers have responded quickly and fixed the bug that was causing the app to crash when attempting to load the pre-purchased movie tickets. Well done on fast fix ! original feedback— App crashes when trying to check in.🙁 Tickets were successfully purchased via the app, but when I arrived at cinema, the app opens ok, but when i try to view the purchased ticket (or check in), the app crashes and shuts down completely. this crash happens every time I reopen the app and try to view the purchased tickets. I am a customer who has Live Activities disabled (for privacy reasons); I presume the DEVs have not checked the stability of the app when Live Activities is disabled. luck the ticket operator was able to pull up my purchase and print paper tickets 😀

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your feedback. We have fixed this in the latest version of the app 10.0.14 Hope to see you at the movies again soon :)

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2024-02-21, version 9.31.6*

Choose your pref cinema and go from there. Easy to use and clear. I like that you can order your food combos via the app too.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-12-23*

Hey guys. 

Great app. Love the booking experience and the new check in feature. There might be a slight typo in the check in copy. After checking in and getting the successfully checked in message it advises to
“collect and food & drink” I assume it’s supposed to say “collect any food & drink”

### 5/5 — One of kind in Australia

*2019-08-21*

This App is all you need when it comes to the magic of cinema. The look... wow!

Easy to use, plus allows swaps of sessions times and seats 💜

I love the fact that I can use my loyalty offers, points and card from one convenient place. Hello Event App, bye bye queueing up and using my plastic card when going to the cinema 😃

### 5/5 — Issue with top navigation on iPhone X

*2019-04-19*

Overall I think the app is great but when I view certain pages, the menu or return arrow sits in the same location as the clock so it’s really hard to get back a screen.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2019-03-19*

Thank you for finally putting in 3D Touch gestures for your app. It’s good to know the feature has not died as now it is easy to check what new movies are coming straight from the home screen. Keep innovating!

### 5/5 — Really good but needs to be 12+ or 17+

*2018-10-19*

Nothing but with it no ads are part from the trailers but there are fine amazing app love it thx it for free and I don’t have to pay for anything a part from the movie which is the point and i can booked sits THANK YOU but you should make it 12+ not 4+ because of the trailers can be MA+ that the only problem i have

### 5/5 — Wow 😮

*2018-07-18*

What a change, last time I downloaded this app it was a disappointed but now... It’s no longer a disappointment but a massive improvement from top to bottom. No issues here now; no longer need to use a web interface anymore. Well done to the software developer team.

### 4/5 — Keep accidentally pressing log out button

*2026-04-28*

When viewing my profile user settings section, pressing the ‘X’ to close it, it is at the top left section; then right after this, the logout button is in the same spot on the previous page, making it very likely I press the log out button to go back to the home page. Please change the log out button to be way more difficult to press, so this doesn’t happen again.
