Top reviews

Used to be helpful now sucks

App is worthless for finding reviews for movies actually playing in theaters. Covid and streaming broke this app. Example: front page shows Ponyo in top box office instead of Toy Story 5 on second weekend. Dumb.

awful

always been crazy buggy. lazy low effort programming. with RT having its own app, this app is now completely worthless

Glitching

Don’t waste your time with this app! It will glitch and give you a showing for a random theater way out of your city then refuse to give you your money back. Happened to me twice within the same 30 minutes. Had to do an exchange but it still jacked me! Buyer beware!

Too Many Ads

The app has waaaay too many ads. Also how is it so many movies don’t have reviews? Or there’s reviews by critics but not an audience score? Or an audience score but not critics scores.

Huh??

Dont care about your indian bollywood movies

I am so sick of seeing indians everywhere in america

Almost Perfect

A big problem with this app is when I'm watching a movie trailer in portrait and rotate my phone it automatically ends the video. Fix this and I'll give it 5 stars.

No landscape mode play trailers

This App stops the trailer when the phone turns horizontal into landscape mode. It’s very annoying watching a trailer on a tiny window on the phone!

Not supporting older IOS phones

I’m very disappointed that Flixster is choosing not to support older iPhones that do not run IOS 18 or newer. I’ve used Flixster for years, and now I can’t use it on my 8+ ( which I keep due to the max memory on it and it’s functional). Sorry to lose you, Flixster, but I’m gone.

Ads before each trailer

Stop prompting an ad every time before each movie trailer with another movie trailer, often times it’s the same movie trailer ad. You’re already selling me on the idea of watching a movie, do you really need ad?

Useful app that steals ALL your data

This app now tracks all my private data and doesn’t even work as well as it used to…deleted

No REFUNDS

This is a good app to know what movie is playing or to watch the trailer to read about what the movie is BUT !!!! do not any purchase tickets on this app because if you do miss your Showtime or if you couldn’t go that day, they will not refund you! I wasted $30 cause I couldn’t go family emergency and now I can’t seem to get a refund or I can’t go watch my movie at any other time… you are better off downloading the theater app and doing it from there at least they will refund you or give you a gift card to rewatch your movie.

Ads lol

You now have PPC banner ads in the app? Delete.

Stopped being useful for older hardware

I have an iPhone 10 and this app will no longer open. App Store even sent me the older version, but there's some code I. It that forces you to the App Store.

Please update and let the app override that update setting for older phones

Allows bot reviews

The app used to be great. With the recent release of the Melania movie they clearly allowed their movie rating system to be flooded by bots. How can you trust their reviews now?

Good, but could be better

While this app is very convenient for letting you find what movies are playing around you, and comparing showtimes at different theaters, there unfortunately does not seem to be any way to search for open captioned showtimes, and open captions aren’t listed under theater amenities. As this is a crucial piece of finding movies to see, unfortunately, despite its convenience in other aspects, Flixter will have to take a backseat for me until this oversight is resolved.

UI needs a refresh

1. Where is Liquid Glass.

2. The Box office screen is ugly and dated.

App doesn’t work with older iPads

LOL, learn how not to brick your user community by not supporting older iPads. This is the only app I own that doesn’t work on my older iPad!

I guess I am not missing much - Rotten Tomatoes reviews are garbage anyways!

App no longer works

App doesn’t work anymore. It just gives a notice to update the app, but no update is available.

Versant is creepy

Versant now owns this and Rotten Tomatoes, amongst others. They are a giant data mining company. Don’t use ANY of their apps or services.
