User Reviews

Overall, users praise the app for high-quality, inspiring films and convenient at-home viewing, with the virtual festival positively received. However, recurring problems include purchased content not playing, TV casting limitations, and a less intuitive navigation/search experience. The virtual format remains a strong point, and there is interest in smoother playback and broader cross-device support.

Pros

Easy access to Banff films at home via streaming on the app and website (bundles available).
High-quality, inspirational, adventurous film content that fans enjoy.
Convenience and flexibility to watch over time and on-demand.
Positive reception of the virtual festival as a strong substitute for in-person events.
The app is generally easy to use and makes watching films accessible on devices like iPad.

Cons

Purchased content sometimes cannot be viewed or played (in-app or on the website).
TV casting/streaming issues and limited cross-platform support (no Roku app; Chromecast/Apple TV quirks).
Not very user-friendly navigation/search experience.

Recent reviews

We’ve always enjoyed the Banff FF World Tour and we were so happy to see that we can now stream many of the films. We purchased a bundle of 3 films and received an email acknowledging our order but we can’t view the films either on the website or in the app. Of course chat is closed at 10 o’clock at night so there is no help available. The eventlive site promises an “exceptional” viewing experience. In 2022 not being able to see purchased films does qualify as exceptional. The eventlive chat guidelines prohibit offensive remarks, abusive content, and vulgar language. Sounds like they have a lot of unhappy users. Lots of 1-star reviews here also seem to indicate the same thing. Please be polite and professional. Inappropriate conduct or harassment towards chat participants will not be tolerated. No vulgar language or abusive conduct. Vulgar or abusive language, masked with symbols, characters abbreviations, or otherwise, will not be tolerated. No offensive remarks. Remarks or name-calling regarding a participant’s real or perceived race, color, national origin, age, sex or gender, sexual orientation, religion or other protected class will not be tolerated.

Not very user friendly in my opinion. Should have content easily available to find and see. Difficult to search for, in my opinion. Would love to use this app, to watch things, but I’ll stick with YouTube, Netflix, etc for now.

I did the combo package from home and found it to be convenient I’m watching it over a period of time and watching all of the films. The subject matter was a little different from previous years but as always The film festival was grand. Thank you
