Review summary

Reviews mainly cite instability, failed ticket purchases, and difficulty accessing tickets as major issues; the redesign is seen as a regression from the older app. A minority acknowledge improvements after updates and more information in the latest version, but most problems persist.

Pros

Updates have improved the app, with some reviewers saying the latest version is much better.
The updated version provides more information about movies and showtimes.

Cons

Crashes and instability (open and close, white screens, and frequent glitches).
Cannot complete purchases or log in; multiple reports of failed ticket purchases.
Cannot view or manage purchased tickets or add them to Apple Wallet.
Poor navigation and user experience: confusing UI, slow performance, no back button, and portrait-only on iPad.
Regressions from the original app; many users want the old app back and see the new version as worse.

2026-01-14	on*****	This app is so poorly designed that it used up almost 3GB of data in less than 10 min. That’s beyond ridiculous. Plus didn’t even need the darn app to get Tuesday ticket discounts. Now I have to figure out how to delete my account and make sure they delete my info. Fire the engineers who designed and programmed this thing!!!

Upon payment it didn’t offer Apple Pay, and also wouldn’t bring up my saved credit cards. Predictive typing didn’t work. After purchase there IS a “save to  wallet” button, but… you guessed it… it doesn’t work. It feels like they wrote this app years ago for android and then just copied it to iOS without any improvements. What a waste!
