Review summary

Overall, users report a consistently problematic Angelika Film Center app. The main issues are persistent login failures, white screens, and looping glitches that prevent browsing showtimes or buying tickets. Navigation is cluttered, and UI refreshes disrupt reading, making the app feel like a web wrapper rather than a native app. Purchases can fail to process or not appear in-app, and loyalty rewards or gift cards often don’t apply or transfer. A few note the rewards tab has improved, but the app still underperforms compared with the theater experience.

Pros

Historically a fairly seamless way to buy tickets.
Rewards tab has improved and responds faster.

Cons

Persistent login failures (blank login page or white screen) across multiple attempts.
Frequent glitches and looping refreshing that disrupt navigation and reading.
Ticket purchases sometimes fail to process or tickets do not appear in-app.
Loyalty rewards and gift cards often don’t apply or transfer.
Credentials are not ported on updates, forcing users to re-create accounts.

2026-07-18	Ms*****	I can’t understand why in 2026 any company or organization would have an app as frustrating as this one. Honestly, there has got to be some college student somewhere who could build a better one in a weekend. This app is clunky, cumbersome and has a huge glitch that should have been caught during basic approval. When trying to update my account several fields are mandatory (they shouldn’t be). One is the genre but the drop down menu shows the locations. When have pick a location just so the genre field populates. Then when you go to the next field that is location, and you select one, the selection in the genre field changes to something random. Just maddening. Please fix this.

2026-05-23	OA*****	App has apparently been nonfunctional for months. It was so frustrating that I switched to another local theater just for the convenience of being able to order tickets from an app…

2026-03-07	2L*****	I’ve used the app for several years and it was a fairly seamless way to get tickets to my favorite movies. The last two times I tried it would not allow me to login - just kept refreshing the blank login page. Deleting and reinstalling the app made no difference. Last time I called the theater to get tickets, and they said others were having trouble with the app. This time I went to the website where I logged in successfully and bought my tickets. Looks like I’ll just take the app off my phone until the problem is fixed.

2026-02-19	Ta*****	Many bugs in this app that send you either into a loop you can’t get out of, or for me a white screen I can’t get past.

2026-01-17	Ja*****	This app is just a glorified web browser that barely works. It’s just unacceptable that other theaters have working apps but this theater doesn’t and still charges 30 dollars a ticket and has uncomfortable seats!

2026-01-07	Je*****	Has the app developer ever tried the using it? The top banner refreshes every 3 second which changes your place on the page every 3 seconds. You can’t stay in the same spot and read anything on the page without constantly scrolling to find your place again. Trying to change the date is nearly impossible. I love this theater but the app is awful!

2025-12-24	to*****	I’ve not seen a more poorly designed app since 2014. I slog through it because we like the theater itself but getting tickets is always so annoying. No clue why they don’t hire someone else to fix it.

2025-12-02	po*****	I applied my rewards points to movie tickets I purchased, but it charged me full price and my points were never restored. Emailed customer service several times but never got a reply :/
