### 3/5 — Good app but some limitations

*2026-08-26, version 5.14.300*

It would be good if the app linked to trailers for the films. Bookings are generally easy to make but if there is any complication it then locks you out of being able to use Limitless membership and getting this resolved with Odeon is never easy.

### 2/5 — Recent app update

*2026-08-25, version 5.14.300*

Just updated this app and it no longer displays the screen number the film is being showing on!!
 Why?? Needs fixing as I like to book my preferred viewing spot according to which screen it is being shown in

### 4/5 — Great, but please make it adaptable for iPad!

*2026-08-25, version 5.14.300*

It is a great app, but when I open it on my iPad, it comes up like a phone screen! I would love it if you adapted it to fill any screen size, because trying to work with a tiny screen on a large iPad is almost impossible! Great app, but please adapt!

### 2/5 — Not sure how it’s got 4.8?

*2026-08-24, version 5.14.300*

This app buggy and the navigation is not intuitive; the fact it’s the only way manage bookings erks me. Odeon is chill tho, just this app is poo poo bananas

### 3/5 — Can be improved

*2026-08-21, version 5.14.200*

App still needs use of CEA card fixed.  Would also benefit from knowing screen number and showing stairs on floor plan when booking to see whether the seat is an aisle seat or actually against a wall.

### 1/5 — Failed to process my refund

*2026-08-09, version 5.14.000*

Have used this app for a long time but I recently had to cancel some tickets so I filled out the refund form, but it’s been a week and I still haven’t been refunded. Don’t trust this app with your tickets.

### 1/5 — Unable to use Vitality vouchers on phone or tablet

*2026-08-06, version 5.14.000*

Poor show on tech glitches - earn these rewards and disappointing unable to use these codes.

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2026-08-03, version 5.14.000*

Extremely poor app hampered by a useless search facility.

### 1/5 — You make movies better but your app and website suck

*2026-07-28, version 5.14.000*

Im on my third email at this point because of how they keep banning my account im praying a ticket i already bought isn’t cancelled but also it says im blocked and all im trying to do is buy a popcorn bucket

### 1/5 — slow app

*2026-07-28, version 5.14.000*

took me eternity to book one ticket

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-07-28, version 5.14.000*

App is rubbish, laggy and buggy and constantly logs you out. When you try to log back in it doesn’t let you. It means deleting the app and re installing. I’ve just spent 40 mins trying to book a movie

### 3/5 — Buggy/laggy

*2026-07-28, version 5.14.000*

I’ve been using this app for about a month now. At first, it worked perfectly fine, but the more I’ve used it, the more issues I’ve experienced, and it’s become incredibly frustrating.

The biggest problem is that my upcoming bookings have disappeared from the app more than once. I don’t mean just one booking, I mean every single one. This meant I couldn’t access options like changing my seat because, according to the app, I had no upcoming bookings. Thankfully, I’d already saved my tickets to my phone’s wallet, so I was still able to travel. I’d strongly recommend everyone does the same, just in case this happens to them.

Another major issue is that, especially later in the day, the app often won’t load at all. At first, I thought it was my internet connection, but after checking Twitter/X, I realised plenty of other people were experiencing the exact same problem, so it’s clearly not an isolated issue.

When the app actually works, it’s simple, easy to use, and straightforward. Unfortunately, its reliability lets it down, and for an app that people rely on to access their tickets and bookings, that’s a serious problem.

### 2/5 — Super slow

*2026-07-28, version 5.14.000*

This app is super slow.. even the website. I’m trying to give them my money but I have to wait so long….

### 1/5 — Awful experience

*2026-07-28, version 5.14.000*

The app has been a nightmare all day as have the online store, so frustrating, unable to move forward list bookings due to it not working

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-07-28, version 5.14.000*

Doesn’t even open properly. Just hangs on the landing page.

### 1/5 — Misleading Subscription

*2026-08-24, version 5.14.300*

The ‘unlimited movies’ basic tier requires you to still pay for your seats at ‘luxe’ cinemas (whatever that means)… but most Oden cinemas in London are ‘luxe’… so you pay the subscription fee each month and then have to pay for a seat anytime you book something.

I’m sure it’s in the fine print, but it feels intentionally misleading and like not great value.

### 1/5 — Inaccessible

*2026-08-24, version 5.14.300*

Used to be an excellent app, but for weeks now I’ve been unable to log in due to technical issues on the app. Really frustrating and clearly a wider problem. Please fix it soon!

### 1/5 — Hates disabled people

*2026-08-24, version 5.14.300*

This app is atrocious. It still does not store or save your cea card. You still cannot book cea seats or add your card to it to check out. Forcing you to use the website. Disgusting.

### 1/5 — Odeon sign up

*2026-08-22, version 5.14.200*

Been trying to sign up for ages to no avail. Keeps telling me there’s a problem!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Can no log into the app

*2026-08-17, version 5.14.200*

For some reason you can no longer log into the app but can log on fine on the website app just states problem signing you in a password reset doesn’t resolve the issue

### 1/5 — They don’t let you cancel a ticket easily!

*2026-08-13, version 5.14.200*

You can do everything easily in the app. Order food, buy a ticket etc. the moment you need to request a refund, the app breaks. No customer support. Ai bot puts you in a loop. Hard to believe this isn’t done by design!

### 1/5 — Log-in

*2026-08-13, version 5.14.200*

Wouldnt even let me log in.

### 1/5 — Impossible to get support

*2026-08-12, version 5.14.200*

No phone line by which you can get a real person; just a flaky AI chat that pretends to hand you over to an operator and then hangs. No route at all to get customer support through the app.

### 1/5 — Horrible laggy app

*2026-08-12, version 5.14.200*

I am a mylimitless plus subscriber and this app is so glitchy I am leaving odeon cinemas completely. When I book a ticket and try and pay I get an error message telling me to book later and that my request cannot be processed right now. So I leave it and come back later however when I try to book it says ‘limitless plus can’t be used twice for the same booking. THE ORIGINAL BOOKING HASNT GONE THROUGH SO I HAVE NO BOOKING AT ALL!!!! And ghen the only way to resolve this is by going to the cinema in person - this is completely useless when you want to see a film that is popular and will probably have a full screen. Odeon need to fix this glitch ASAP. This has happened to me around 10 times. Its especially worse when you try to book tickets for others aswell. 

Horrible, glitchy app. Stay far away.

### 1/5 — Utterly hopeless

*2026-08-10, version 5.14.200*

The app consistently fails to
Open as there’s a problem. 
Reset the password multiple times and even with the latest password it still refuses to open. 
Seriously a dysfunctional system.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-18, version 5.14.200*

Easy to use

### 5/5 — Very good

*2026-08-17, version 5.14.200*

Very good place for family time

### 5/5 — Cinema Since 1982

*2026-08-14, version 5.14.200*

Disappointed that thr Cinema has lost its respect and lustre. The auditorium requires silence. No tampering with your mobile phone., no torchlight beaming out of your phone blinding patient movie goers, lets stop patrons from bringing their groceries into the auditorium and most importantly stop cheeky patrons from jumping substandard seats and without paying for the Unlimited Premier plus membership  they deme it acceptable to bring their entire group into the exclusive leather seating extra leg room and tables zone bring with them their bad habits which include talking and rustling  large packets of crisps and opening can after can of pop — all of the above disturb the elite Premier plus patrons who are persistently ignored. Odeon must conduct checks in cinema that people are sat in their prescribed seating and not being a nuisance 

I would urge Odeon Cinema to attend to the above formentioned points to improve continued visits for premium plus unlimited members at Milton Keynes stadium - ps staff are excellent!

### 5/5 — Easy booking

*2026-08-13, version 5.14.200*

Found the booking process very clear and easy to do

### 5/5 — Local Cinema

*2026-08-02, version 5.14.000*

Easy to use app, great staff and always happy to help with any issues. 

Best Odeon in London

### 5/5 — Easy to use app for all my viewing pleasure

*2026-07-28, version 5.14.000*

As a limitless user and frequent cinema attendee, I need to be able to pick a film, seat and pay as quickly as possible and this app delivers on all counts

### 5/5 — my love for the odeon app

*2026-07-02, version 5.14.000*

loveeeee the odeon app

### 5/5 — Love Odeon

*2026-06-24, version 5.14.000*

We’re great cinema goers and having Limitless means we truly get the best out of our cinema trips - Thanks

### 5/5 — I keep coming back to Odeon Cinemas Group

*2026-05-06*

I keep coming back to Odeon Cinemas Group because it still feels like going to the movies should feel. The big screen experience, the atmosphere before the lights go down, and the escape from everyday life are hard to beat.

The staff are usually welcoming, the seats are comfortable, and there’s something special about watching a film with a real audience instead of just streaming at home. Whether it’s a blockbuster, an indie film, or a late-night screening, Odeon still makes cinema feel like an event rather than background noise.

As someone who works around film and storytelling, I also appreciate the simple ritual of it all: the trailers, the sound design, the shared reactions in the room, and that moment when the screen lights up, and everyone disappears into another world for two hours. Five stars from me.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review

### 5/5 — Silver Screen

*2026-04-28, version 5.14.000*

Silver Screen is such a great idea. Gets all of us out once  a week and creates a new community of similar aged ( minded ) people. Such great value too. Well done Odeon!
