Incompetent scam artists
December 20, 2024

We bought tickets to a movie that they never emailed to us. We showed up to the theatre and couldn't get in. Called their service line and was hung up on twice after sitting on hold 15 minutes each time. Then tried their useless chat bot that replies with links to their FAQs before timing out. Flixster/Fandango is a perfect example of everything that's wrong with tech companies. They provide a minimal service that is great at taking your money, but when something goes wrong they are impossible to reach. Just like they wanted. Hopefully they're over leveraged and go bankrupt on the next down cycle and join all the piece of $#*! movie theatres that force you to use these dog$#*! apps to buy a ticket before showing up. If you work at this company and are reading this, jump off a bridge. You know you're a piece of $#*!.

No news flash there, but it did not start out this way. The ownership of the site has taken a useful exercise and rendered it less effective. Increasing the number of critics (of dubious credibility) from sources that are obscure, they have watered down the concentration of honesty and objectivity. All done under the guise of freedom of speech and the decline of newspaper circulation… it's wrong-headed, and prevents the site from being reliable and accurate. Super hero sequels and other franchises don't need the help. A viewer should be able to go in and get an upfront opinion. That is not what is happening. I know the studios spend big budgets on their offerings. That's part of the game. Rigging the reporting isn't an approach that should be tolerated.

What happened?!?! Used to be my go to for movie tickets, latest dvd releases, watch trailers... Now it totally sucks! Someone needs to get fired because they have no idea as to what people want. Get a clue.

Flixster used to be my go to app for movies playing and reviews - however since they stopped including Landmark Theaters in my area I have stopped using it. Why would I want to look up shows and movie times in my area on an app that only gives me partial information? I contacted them about this - but nothing. Good bye Flixster!

What happened to this versatile app? I used to use it all the time to find out what was showing in local theatres and now can't see a thing. Really disappointed and have removed the app. Is there anything anyone else is using to replace it?

Garbage
June 21, 2018

Just redundant junk. I buy a physical copy but simply want to watch it on iTunes as well. I paid for the digital copy, so how hard can it be? Who is Flixter anyway? It's the sloppiest app I've ever seen.

Destroyed app
July 27, 2018

My go to movie app for the last how many years, just destroyed by latest update. Bye bye flixter. Why do developers insist on this... it worked great, now it doesnt work at all. Might as well be IMDb for all the use it is and I already have IMDb.

This app is now useless for looking for whats on in all local cinemas which was how I used it. Also the information, times of shows, ratings and synopsis for each film was easy to find. I don't undestand why the app has changed to make it completely unuseable for purpose. Some imbecile designed it. Maybe I have missed the point somewhere?

Both Warner Brothers Digital copy and FlixterVideo are rip off. Make sure before buying any movies with digital copy, you read the label carefully. My kids love watching movies on iTunes but WB Digital Copy only works with FlixterVideo, Which sucks!

WB Digital Support Sucks the most! It is just an email service which sends you the same exact email no matter what you ask.

Booooooooo!

What's happened
April 16, 2018

This used to be such a versatile app. Within 2 clicks you could see what was on at your local cinema times and reviews. Now it is utterly useless. I have now deleted a much loved app
