### 2/5 — Very outdated App

*2024-11-10, version 1.9.2*

The app is very outdated. It feels like you are using an app from 10 years ago. The navigation page of the app is quite simple, which is good, but there is nothing more to it. The app would occasionally just stop working and would dropout. Also, if you try to zoom in on the movie poster it just crashes. Overall a pretty bad app.

### 5/5 — Easy to use program calendar

*2019-02-02, version 1.9.2*

Obviously not updated for two years, this app could be so much more. That said, I still use this weekly to check their upcoming films. It is possible to book tickets through it, but it is simpler just to use the Palace website directly. A plus it that it will list screenings not mentioned on the printed Astor calendar (such as occasional Saturday 4:00 films).

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2017-06-18, version 1.9.2*

So great that such a small theatre has an app like this! Even has a request screening button! How cool. Just wish you could request any movie that isn't necessarily on their list but oh well!

### 5/5 — Agreed - 'tis better than nothing

*2016-01-09, version 1.9*

I once had nothing, and this unexpected app update is totally, like, better than nothing. Well done peeps!

### 1/5 — App is for previious Astor - doesn't work

*2015-12-04, version 1.8*

This app says the Astor has closed. It contains no current program information.

The Astor actually has new owners and is in business. Looks like new owners not interested in updating this app.

Check the web

### 1/5 — Needs to be updated

*2015-09-19, version 1.8*

This app says the Astor is going to close and has no programming on it anymore...

### 5/5 — GREAT APP

*2014-09-29, version 1.7.8*

Really quick and easy to scroll through movie times and dates

### 5/5 — Long live the Astor!

*2014-09-05, version 1.7.7*

I love the Astor and this app. It is a wonderful addition to my entertainment folder, and has allowed me to stay up to date with the latest sessions. The Astor's legacy will live on long after its closure. You will be sorely missed!

### 5/5 — Please don't go

*2014-09-05, version 1.7.7*

I love you!

### 5/5 — A Star!

*2014-06-22, version 1.7.6*

The Astor is a spectacular cinema, and this app is wonderful to help find out what treat is hitting their silver screen any given night. Accurate, informative and navigable to boot. Thankyou!
