It seems to not let me leave the app for it to fully download, and often gets stuck once any wifi drops, and I have to delete and start again. ### 4/5 — Miroirs no 3 *2026-07-20, version 69.3* Lovely film I did not want to end. ### 3/5 — Great film collection, terrible interface *2026-07-10, version 83.2* Great film collection, terrible interface. Looks nice, but functionally rubbish to use. No categories, you just search for a film by name or pick one from the front page. Why not have categories like every other streaming service? ### 5/5 — Movies I actually want to watch *2026-07-07, version 83.2* MUBI has movies I actually want to watch. It’s easy to pick because there are so many good choices. I’ve had other streaming services for years and haven’t watched as many movies as I’m watching now with MUBI. ### 5/5 — Love love love *2026-07-05, version 83.2* These are the kind of films I like. Something other than Netflix. Refreshing change ### 5/5 — Intense and pretty *2026-07-01, version 83.2* I have seen this movie 6 times. On the first time, I cried so much…I couldn’t help myself. On the second time, I was involved by Marcelo/ Armando’s history. On the third, I wanted to know more about Dona Sebastiana and her secrets. On the fourth time, I see that every single one of those characters have their own stories and struggles like real people. On the firth time, I felt bad that I did not pay attention to its original score and stunning cinematography. On the 6th time, I was stunned by how amazing Kleber Mendonca is as a story teller and his skills as a filmmaker. Then, I read the script and I now want to see it again. I might miss something LOL What a shame the secret agent did not win the OSCARS. ### 5/5 — Merveilleux *2026-06-10, version 82.0* Enfin une application de films qui me convient parfaitement. De vrais bons films du monde entier! ### 5/5 — Great film *2026-06-09, version 82.0* The films are well curated. ### 5/5 — The GOAT *2026-06-05, version 79.0* My gratitude to introduce me with the greatest movies of all time ### 2/5 — Bought by Private Equity firm *2026-06-03, version 81.0* Unfortunately Sequoia Capital have invested majority cash in MUBI. The app has a terrible interface and clearly hasn’t been quality UX tested. RIP ### 3/5 — Refus d’accès à un film *2026-05-30, version 80.1* Pas moyen de regarder la fin de certains films entamés sur la plateforme, c’est frustrant de ne pas pouvoir le terminer ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tech sucks *2026-08-22, version 86.0* I’m not reviewing the movies. I’m reviewing the technology behind the movies. It really sucks because it is so difficult to use. ### 1/5 — Tricky trial *2026-08-19, version 86.0* Very disappointed as sooo difficult to cancel a trial even after speaking with Customer Support ### 1/5 — horrible *2026-08-17, version 86.0* impossible to cancel account. ### 1/5 — Unauthorized charge *2026-08-04, version 85.0* I signed up for the 7 day free trial, watched the movie I wanted to watch and went to cancel the subscription. I was greeted with a pop-up offering an extended trial, which I accepted. Lo and behold, the very next day my account was charged $16. Bad business and I have filed a dispute ### 1/5 — Terrible now *2026-07-14, version 84.0* All the features have been removed and it now only allows you to use to app if you purchase a membership. ### 1/5 — Unwatchable *2026-07-14* I’ve tried streaming my show on three different wifi networks and two different devices. App browser etc….the playback is absolutely terrible everywhere. The playback stops every two minutes, if it even loads in the first place. I feel as though i’m trying to stream from Antarctica with the way the app buffers. Hell, i bet people in Antarctica get better serrvice. Unusable, unwatchable, i will probably cancel ny subscription. Terrible. Update: it’s been about a week since i mailed support. I haven’t received any response whatsoever **Developer response:** If you've emailed our team at support@mubi.com, then they will get back to you regarding this issue. Thank you for your patience in the meantime. ### 1/5 — Free trial *2026-07-13, version 84.0* Why give me a week free trial, I go to cancel you give me a month free I cancel and you only give me the week ### 1/5 — No Free Trial = No Thanks *2026-06-30, version 83.2* All of your competitors offer a free trial to see if you like the service. You apparently don’t unless I am ready to sign up through some obscure link and then hand over credit card details. Not cool. I’ll consider if you change to an on app free trial. ### 1/5 — The app keeps restarting all the time and movies don’t play continuously. *2026-05-23, version 79.0* The app is very bad on both my phone and TV, the image quality is poor and movies keep stopping all the time. This didn’t used to happen. ### 1/5 — Minimal movies available *2026-05-22, version 79.0* There is a broad catalogue but hardly any movies available to watch ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-08-27, version 86.0* Agradecido por tener una amplia selección de películas de todo el mundo. ### 5/5 — Outstanding streaming service *2026-08-18, version 86.0* MUBI itself is an incredible resource and the app is excellent. It’s easy to use, I can find what I’m looking for easily most of the time. I wish they’d provide a “leaving soon” list, but I’m not deducting from my rating just for that. If you love film, get MUBI, basically. ### 5/5 — Excellent app and movies *2026-08-16, version 86.0* I really like the variety of different movies on this app. A small suggestion though, on the main screen maybe could include the movie length. Because I often like to specifically choose shorter movies. ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-08-03, version 85.0* Great! ### 5/5 — mubi review *2026-08-02, version 84.0* i watched we need to talk about kevin, as well as many great movies from other countries, on mubi ### 5/5 — Alway gonna be my favorite *2026-07-30* Please stream more movies in korea ### 5/5 — Lovely selection of movies + clean user interface *2026-07-19, version 84.0* I really like MUBI, the actual design of the app is fantastic. It looks great is smooth and very easy to navigate. I love the experience. It feels thoughtful, with the "our take" section + critic reviews for each movie, connects strongly with what you're watching. I also really appreciate subtitles with so many movies, I'm deaf so it helps me a lot. ### 5/5 — Love films, love MUBI *2026-07-19, version 84.0* Always a great selection of films. Some you know, others you don’t know. Great range to suit all tastes. ### 5/5 — A cinephile’s dream *2026-07-10, version 83.2* If your passion for, and interest in cinema is true, you need look nowhere else. Pure joy. ### 5/5 — The Best *2026-07-09, version 83.2* Easily the best streaming service for indie and foreign films, not to mention a great selection of LGBTQ+ movies. It’s slightly pricey but there’s so much to watch on here that it makes up for it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
