### 2/5 — Error when buying tickets

*2026-08-10, version 17.4.1*

I’m unable to buy tickets without an error now. Been happening for a few days.

### 2/5 — Buggy App!!

*2026-08-10, version 17.4.1*

Trying to sign up for membership but keeps on sending me sign via Vudu. Reset password is NOT working!!!!!!

### 3/5 — Convenience Fee

*2026-08-09, version 17.4.1*

The convenience fee imposed is excessive.

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-08-09, version 17.4.1*

Loved it

### 4/5 — Too Many Ad Offers

*2026-08-08, version 17.4.1*

Great app, but what’s with all the new advertising offers? Very annoying!

### 2/5 — Meh

*2026-08-08, version 17.4.1*

I don’t need 5 offers after I buy my ticket, it’s actually kind of annoying

### 2/5 — Online tickets

*2026-08-07, version 17.4.1*

Automatically gave themselves a charitable donation by rounding up.  Didn’t notice it until too late.  Do NOT like having to opt out of a charitable donation.  Didn’t even say what I contributed to.  Shady to say the least.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-08-07, version 17.4.1*

Says free to watch. Downloaded on my TV to watch a movie, says to go to phone or computer and select OK to watch. I don’t want to watch on my phone. App on TV will not watch a movie

### 1/5 — Convenience Fees

*2026-08-07, version 17.4.1*

Outrageous!!!!

### 2/5 — Useless app

*2026-08-07, version 17.4.1*

They don’t do anything my theater can’t do. Someone gave me a gift card and I can use it for the movie but not snacks or drinks… seems pointless to exist

### 1/5 — Don’t expect any support from customer service.

*2026-08-17*

I had purchased movie tickets and expected to be able to watch the film. I used the fandango app to get these tickets and haven’t had any issues before. This is experience was hands down the worse I’ve had in any movie theater. Now, as someone who used fandango exclusively for tickets, I felt some comfort that knowing this company, customer service would do SOMETHING to aide in this disappointing experience. Not only did the do nothing, they just wasted time to the point where it was past the deadlines of requesting a refund. I submitted my customer service ticket 30
minutes after leaving the theater, they didn’t get back to me for 4 days. When they did get back to me, they apologized for the inconvenience and they asked for the receipt information which gave me solace in the hopes I’d be refunded. 5 days later, they emailed me back saying I have to review the theaters return policy and see if I can get refunded. So they basically took two weeks to respond back saying “hey, you’re out of luck.” I will not be using their services again and I don’t think anyone reading this should either. They will not help you.

### 1/5 — Bugged

*2026-08-13, version 17.4.1*

I don’t know what’s wrong with the app but when I go to purchase a movie it doesn’t work even after I put my promo code in. I’ve had the membership for a month and already want a full refund on it I didn’t even get to use its benefits but it took $10 from me for it.

### 1/5 — Issues booking Cinemark theaters

*2026-08-12, version 17.4.1*

I cannot book anything for Cinemark movie theaters, when I try to look up show times, it gives me an error. I deleted and reinstalled the app, but that didn’t fix it

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY THROUGH FANDANGO

*2026-08-12, version 17.4.1*

I purchased movie tickets through fandango and on the way to my movie, I was in a car accident that totaled my car. Obviously I was in the midst of dealing with that so when I called fandango, the movie had already been 20 minutes in and they said “sorry, strict policy, no refund” now I’m down a car and $50 

I talked to the theater about it and they told me to only purchase tickets through them because they will refund your money even after it has started because life happens. 

Crazy thing is. I’ve been getting my tickets through fandango since I graduated high school and I’m 31 now. FOREVER DELETING THE APP. Lost a loyal customer for life. Thanks for nothing fandango

### 1/5 — Going downhill

*2026-08-12, version 17.4.1*

User experience really declining with this app. Way too many incidental offers.

### 1/5 — Extra Fees

*2026-08-10, version 16.16*

Automatic opt-in to charitable donations is actually insane.

### 1/5 — Sketchy

*2026-08-10, version 17.4.1*

They allow sketchy third apps that make it seem like they are part of fandango. And they ask you to reedem money. You have on the tickets and they charge for something else. Shady will never use again

### 1/5 — Exchange of Tickets

*2026-08-08*

I purchased 5 The odyssey for myself, my husband and three adult children who are all
Visiting at the same time  . I entered the Wei g date and tried to change the date PRIOR to showtime but was unsuccessful. I even went to theater before movie began)previews were still playing) I was told I had to contact Fandango and they were kind enough to provide me with the #. Calling Fandango immediately and waiting 45 minutes they said there was nothing they could do. I was not asking for the 100 dollars back just a date change. Did I mention we were the only people in the theater. None the less they were not helpful, I’ve been a customer for over 25 years and have never had a problem . 
This was my fault trying to get everyone’s schedules and not paying complete attention to the date. But shame on them for. Or even offering to at the very least offer a free movie ticket or something. Very few people go to the movie theater anymore and they should be upping their customer service . This is what happens when everything is outsourced to Bangladesh. So buy local, shop local and buy your movie ticket from your local theater. That will make all the difference in the world… USA all way everyday

### 1/5 — TOO MANY ADS

*2026-08-08, version 17.4.1*

I hate that this app pushes so many subscriptions on its users

### 1/5 — The worst never will I purchase tickets from here.

*2026-08-08, version 17.4.1*
