Don’t wast your memory.

Too glitchy to be worth it.
Too many commercials for themselves.
“Ad Break 7/7” 5 of the ads are to watch movies you are already watching. The other 2 gun control ads.
“Ad break 5/5” all 5 commercials are for movies you are watching.
You get 5-7 minutes of movie for 2.5-3.5 minutes of commercials to watch a platform you are already watching.
App will hang up halfway through a movie always at a an “Ad break”. With only way to watch the end of the movie is to start over at the beginning. Only to have the movie hang up halfway through again.
All the free movie apps are bad. This one is the worst. The most commercials for amount of movie.
The most freezing up.
The worst layout to find a movie.
The worst selection of movies.
Every update makes the app perform worse than before the update.
Save the memory and stay away from the app. You aren’t missing anything.

Not bad but....

Definitely needs work. My goodness an video streaming app, though be it free. That doesn’t have a favorites so you don’t have to hunt down what you want later, is just...well....stupid. Makes no sense! I can see why they have no search engine. They don’t have enough content to do this. A lot of their stuff is old but free. Plus they need to at least alphabetize their content. The way it is now is just a category with a mishmash of content. Idea of app...great. Format....is terrible. From what I can see, there's no real support either. When you click on it..it jumps takes you to their other apps in the App Store! Bummer

Unlock the Latin America region.

Dear, for pleasure only for your country the United States that they prefer you and you love it! Tired of using VPN app, enough is enough. I am an American, I am living in Latin America.
Until when are you waiting to unblock the region in Latin America? Please

Where I go to watch action films

Popcornflix is hands down the best library of action and thriller movies. Their horror selection is pretty good too

No Subscription Just Click and Play

Some very interesting Horror and Sci fi I didn’t see any where. The best thing not having to sign up for anything.

Lots of Content, But No Watch List or Search

This app is made exclusively for impulse watching. There’s no Watchlist to save titles for future viewing. There’s no search function in the version for Apple TV to find movies you might want to see. There’s also no alphabetical or age organization; only titles in random order by category. That makes it terribly inefficient for busy viewers. For instance, if you find out a movie is available on Popcornflix using an app like Just Watch, it could take hours to actually find the movie in the Popcornflix app.

The iOS version permits you to register an account, but, since the Apple TV version does not contain a signin means and neither version permits a Watchlist, registering in the iOS version serves no purpose.

The app is simply not ready for prime time.

PopCommercialsCornTV

The idea is great, I won’t knock that. A 90 minute movie (1 and a 1/2 hours) quickly becomes a 17 hour movie to get through with the commercials. I HATE commercials as we all do, but a commercial about every 2 minutes for a 90 minute movie makes the movie 100% unwatchable. Maybe if they offered a subscription for a couple of bucks a month that would be okay, but to have to sit through a movie that is extended from 1 1/2 hours to over 3 hours because of commercials is like watching TV, only regular television has LESS commercials. Until that gets fixed this is an immediate uninstall. After the first 35 minutes of trying to watch a movie I just gave up. It’s really just a waste of time at this point. I get that app developers need to make money, but with thousands of viewers there’s no way you aren’t making enough money to at least take half of the ads out. Uninstalled!

You get what you pay for

I am legally blind. When I tap on the picture of a movie or TV show it does not say the name of the movie or TV show using voiceover on an iPhone. It is very easy to make an app making sure that it is accessible to the blind. And as I said you get what you pay for it since you didn’t pay for anything you don’t really get good content. All the sci-fi movies are horror. Not bad but terrible even horrible. I don’t think I will be keeping this app. I went through the reviews and I only found one or two that were halfway decent reviews. Of the dozens of reviews I read only one came five stars and even that person complained about it.

Disappointed

After reading the reviews on this app I thought I’d give it a try. After downloading and signing up it crashed. every time I try to click on the app to sign up it would say that my email was already in use so I will go to sign in and it would crash again leaving me disappointed and forcing me to uninstall and reinstall thinking that was the issue but it wasn’t. I don’t know why it keeps crashing but I’m done and frustrated. Uninstalling this app.

Disappointed.

Hi! Recently there is no sound when you play certain movies. That is very disappointing as I had never had any issues watching movies or shows since downloading the app.
The movie Portals has really good rating and it’s disappointing that the dialogue of the actors is missing. I do hope you will fix this issues quickly.

Thank you.

Some movies don't have audio and ads are too long.

I wanted to watch the horror found footage film called vhs and vhs 2 but the vhs 2 was strange. It had all the audio EXCEPT for human voices throughout the movie. I even forwarded to multiple scenes but still the same result. Just people’s mouths are moving only. I watched the same scene in an official trailer and it does have audio for human voices. I don’t know what but it’s just something that Popcornflix messed up on and needs to get it fixed ASAP.

Also the ads are WAAAAAY too long and too frequent. Every 10 to 15 minutes, I get 2 ads which are 30 seconds long each. Sometimes even 40 seconds and the other 30 seconds. If I’m lucky I get 1 ad which is just 5 seconds and the other 30 seconds but this is rare. It just destroys the mood of the movie. Even if it’s free, I’m considering deleting this app due to its heavy repetitive ad system.

Advertising

I get that advertisement is a big thing for promoting others, but having nearly 7 groups of ads playing before 40 minutes of a scary movie I try to watch ruins the whole feel of a scary movie. Not to mention it’s the same ads constantly.

Unusable

I’m able to search for a title in the app but no way to save to a watch list or anything.

Chromecast doesn’t work - you can hear the movie but an ad shows over top and doesn’t go away.

The Apple TV version of the app offers no way of sorting and the categories are incomplete and mislabeled. I was never able to find a title in the tv app that I easily found in the iPhone app. And since Chromecast doesn’t work, I couldn’t watch it.

Great app

The is great and endless movies to watch my only down side is the casting feature doesn’t see to work for me cause after awhile of trying to watch a movie on my phone it gets kinda old if the feature was fixed it would be great

Where are the buttons.

Even though the movies play seamlessly and I don’t have problems with the ads (I get like three per movie) I give it a two star because it doesn’t have subtitles, rewind & fast forward buttons and it needs many easy friendly improvements.

Good content but hard to find movies

This has many movies but there is no organization other than genre. I could not find the shining but there were many other great movies.

ME 💖💖

have more and more movie’s on here like it takes two and parent trap and child one and child two and me before you and the greatest showman and and more for me thanks

Not bad

I’d give it a 5 star rating if the search feature worked, it says it doesn’t have certain movies yet when I google “(title of movie) Popcornflix” it shows up so it is on there but just doesn’t show up in search feature. Pretty annoying. Other than that big thing, it’s a pretty awesome site,yes,you have to watch ads but hey I’m getting movies for free. I like it. But please fix search feature.
