### 1/5 — Continuously drops out

*2026-06-10, version 5.2.1*

Maybe it’s the older regional planes but this is incredibly unreliable and is prone to continuously dropping out.

### 1/5 — Entertainment would imply it worked

*2026-05-27, version 5.2.1*

Long day, late flight home - app says announcement in progress the whole time. Was looking forward to just relaxing, topped off by a late flight.

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-05-24, version 5.2.1*

Never works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-05-13, version 5.2.0*

Useless

### 1/5 — Never works properly

*2026-03-22, version 5.1.0*

It never works for me more than 15 mins in an hour. Useless utter rubbish

### 2/5 — Doesn’t let me open the app

*2026-02-02, version 5.0.5*

Downloaded it, I pressed it everywhere and it won’t open

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect

*2026-01-22, version 5.0.5*

Even though there is entertainment available on the flight it doesn’t connect so I need to use safari to watch movies which is a pain

### 2/5 — Ads, ads, ads and more ads

*2026-01-18, version 5.0.5*

No way to check the trailer of a movie. Be prepared to endure repetitive and incessant ads at the beginning of each title.

### 4/5 — Great improvements but some fixes needed

*2026-01-04*

Re-discovered the qantas entertainment app recently. It works very smoothly on recent model devices. But still issues with announcements UI blocking the playback UI even after announcements have concluded. Have to hard stop the app and then restart. Good thing is that I can resume the movie conveniently. Bad news is that I must suffer through all the ads again. This really kills the experience, so detecting that the user has seen the ads should be tracked to avoid this poor experience. Apart from that it’s a great app

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the positive feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the announcement UI blocking your screen and forcing you to re-watch ads.

To help us look into this and fix it, please email mobileappsupport@qantas.com.au with your:

- Flight number

- Flight date & time

- Device model & iOS version

We appreciate your help in improving the experience.

### 1/5 — Entertainment on the cheap

*2025-12-29, version 5.0.4*

Took a flight from Melbourne to Perth on a 737 800 last night. I was really surprised to find that there was no back of seat screens or supplied laptops to view Qantas entertainment! It was BYO flight. First of all you have to through the rigmarole of downloading the Q entertainment onto your own equipment which if it’s your phone is too ridiculously small to see anything. Luckily I had my laptop with me so had to do the same all over again and reset passwords to enable me to download. Flight was nearly over before I got to watch anything! Really cheapskate from Qantas. I expect better form Q particularly as it’s a full fare inclusive service and not a budget airline.
