Support this much loved piece of history. ### 5/5 — outstanding! *2014-04-15, version 1.7.5* i love this app and use it all the time. the "add to calendar" is so useful- i can easily see if any of my favourite films are coming up. i also love the "favourite" and "request a film" features. very nice app. ### 5/5 — Good *2014-02-04, version 1.7.5* Good ### 5/5 — All you need!!! *2013-12-15, version 1.7.3* This App gives you everything you could ask for concerning the Astor theatre. Nice and and easy to navigate as well. ### 5/5 — Win *2013-11-11, version 1.7* Stable app. Well structured. Being able to add sessions to existing Apple calendars is nice too. ### 5/5 — As perfect as an Astor choctop *2013-07-29, version 1.5* What else would you expect from The Astor? Elegant, professional, thoughtful and clever, packed with goodies and surprises - indispensable and a joy to visit. Bravo Astor! ### 5/5 — Great theatre, great app!! *2013-06-27, version 1.5* Love it! :) ### 5/5 — Passion & Userbility *2013-06-13, version 1.4* This is a great example of what an App can be when you have someone who respects the service/product the App is representing and good design. It hits all the good buttons in terms of logical flow, simplicity and necessary info! Great job. Keep it up :) ### 5/5 — Astor Apple App *2013-02-23* One of the best cinema session times I have had. What's really good is that you can bookmark your favourite Directors/Actors/Films and it highlights it when you look on e program calendar! Awesome and highly recommended! Thank you Astor and keep on doing that thing you do for MANY YEARS TO COME! ### 5/5 — Love The Astor *2013-01-30, version 1.3* Thanks for putting all this info in one handy app. Very helpful, useful and accessible. ### 5/5 — Melbourne icon become better... *2013-01-23, version 1.3* For an amazing part of Melbourne, this app makes the Astor that much more enjoyable. Great calendar integration and really user friendly. Any melbournite should get this!!! ### 5/5 — Too Good! *2012-12-24, version 1.2* How does an app get it so right so soon after its release?!?! Near perfect app, very intuitive and a pleasure to use. Fantastic calendar integration. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2012-11-12, version 1.1* Useful & simple ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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... ### 1/5 — Poor presentation *2014-06-12, version 1.7.6* What a terribly presented app - looking at this on my iPad - the film posters are tiny and there is a wide gap between each poster and the rating. What a waste of valuable space. I am afraid this app doesn't do the place justice. ### 1/5 — Can't view *2013-11-30, version 1.7.1* Just downloaded this app & it closes within 4 seconds every time. Disappointing. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Effective *2014-01-22, version 1.7.3* Brilliantly simple. Current calendar, reviews, session start (and finish) times. Calendar integration and the ability to highlight favourites are nice extras. ### 4/5 — Update faster *2013-06-26, version 1.4* Please update the app with the new calendar ### 4/5 — Great to have a phone-friendly interface *2012-09-28, version 1.0* So great to finally have an "Astor in my Pocket" alternative to the main website. Great interface design and I love the classic colour scheme. Only SMALL criticism so far is the movie archive list only goes back to 1936 whereas the list on the website goes back into the 1920s including such classics as Phantom of the Opera, Metropolis and Nosferatu? ### 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! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 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! ### 5/5 — Great app- exactly what you need *2014-05-16* Love this app. Great design, fast and easy access to the calendar of the best theater in Melbourne! ### 5/5 — Great app for a great cinema *2014-05-15, version 1.7.6* Nice presentation within the app, with easy navigation to days or sessions of what's on at the classic Astor cinema. ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2014-05-14, version 1.7.6* Very nicely designed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
