### 5/5 — Great films, So well organised.

*2025-08-22*

I’m even more impressed with MIFF in 2025 than previous years. Great films and so well organised that booking and plan I g is so simple. I visited the MIFF ticket desk at Hoyts Melbourne Central last week after a MIFF screening to compliment the volunteer staff for their kindness and organisation in helping with my particular needs. Very impressive program and volunteer support. That’s all we need. Thanks MIFF.

### 5/5 — Great functionality

*2025-08-15*

This app works so wel, loads quickly, automatically logs me in, easy to get to tickets, automatically brightens the QR codes, love the voting feature and easy to get to blurbs about the films. Great job developers! 🙌

### 1/5 — Horror

*2025-08-10, version 9.4.5*

Endlessly glitching

### 3/5 — This app should be good but…

*2025-07-22, version 9.4.5*

I just spent ages sorting out my Wishlist on my laptop and it apparently doesn’t carry over with my account. You can’t seem to look at films by stream … why do widgets and functionality change so much between the website and app. Infuriating.

### 1/5 — The app freezes and closes on me

*2025-07-10, version 9.4.4*

The app freezes and closes on me, it’s pretty annoying

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2024-08-22, version 9.4.4*

It’s so good to have allocated seats, so we don’t have to wait in a queue in the cold.
It makes the festival experience much more pleasant. 
The feast of films gives us great worldly experiences as usual.

### 5/5 — MIFF App

*2024-08-17, version 9.4.3*

I love this app!
I love the design.
It just works!

### 1/5 — 2024 app doesn’t show dates

*2024-08-08, version 9.4.2*

No dates on the schedule
No dates or times on purchased tickets

### 2/5 — Poor design

*2024-08-04, version 9.4.2*

Hi developers, please don’t use black text on a date background. It is very hard to read/see, which adds to the frustration of trying to navigate the app

### 1/5 — Difficult to read

*2024-07-21, version 9.4.2*

Cannot read menu as background color of purple blue makes black print difficult to read.
