### 5/5 — Festival Companion

*2026-06-22, version 11.1.1*

Great to have during the festival to navigate the program, access tickets and event information.

### 1/5 — Robert Redford died with this app

*2026-04-01, version 11.1.1*

This app is a joke. I signed up for this app and it just crashes. It won’t even let me login. What’s the point of a Sundance Film Festival 2026 a app to watch independent movies and doesn’t even work. Robert Redford died along with this app.

### 1/5 — Terrible as usual

*2026-01-29, version 11.1.1*

Every year is different and bad. The screenings listing have improved but the waitlisting (which is where you need it the most) is terrible again and somehow even worse than last year.  I don’t the programmers actually do real test runs to see how it works

### 1/5 — Can’t get past the agreement screen

*2026-01-25, version 11.1.1*

I logged in, then I’m taken to a user agreement screen,  and at the bottom the only option is to “go back”

### 3/5 — Came for the films…

*2026-01-25, version 11.1.1*

Can’t see much! Waitlisted for three films so far but haven’t gotten into ANYTHING! Very disappointing to have come from Delaware and can’t get in. 

I was fortunate enough to get into Redford Legacy Environmental Panel and that was fabulous, but I was there two hours in advance to secure a spot. 

There has been a lot of waisted time.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-01-25, version 11.1.1*

This app has crashed countless times, it’s inaccurate, inconsistent, and has cost me seeing films three times now. It’s only day 3!!! What an utter disaster.

### 1/5 — Not easy or helpful for wait lists

*2026-01-24, version 11.1.1*

I have tried n paid for a waitlist pass but still does not work.

### 1/5 — Consistently Terrible

*2026-01-24, version 11.1.1*

This app is consistently terrible. Each year I hope for improvements and each year I am disappointed. It is difficult to navigate. Adding a film to your favorites doesn't add its showtimes to your schedule. Because the app is so clunky, I had to go on the website to add everything to my schedule, which was an incredibly tedious process. But now the worst part is that the app inexplicably has logged me out due to inactivity, despite having been quite active, and now I'm getting an error message every time I try to log back in, rendering it useless. I've submitted a ticket for this issue but do not have faith it will actually get fixed.

### 1/5 — Not working properly

*2026-01-23, version 11.1.1*

This app hasn’t worked once for me. If I wasn’t here with friends I would never get into or know about anything. It doesn’t load until 5 minutes after everyone else around me has (some of whom have the same phone service as me) and everything is sold out by the time it does. 

I’ve checked for updates. I’m super bummed but hopeful it will get better in the last two days I’m here.

### 1/5 — App sucks

*2026-01-22, version 11.1.1*

App crashes and doesn’t load
