Flixster - Showtimes + Tickets 4+

My experience with this app has been great up until recently. I hope they fix the problem I'm about to address, but I'm likely moving on to a theater specific app and will be keeping a lookout for improvements.

I went with a friend to a showing of Spiderman Homecoming. We had both seen the movie in 2-D and regular 3-D. I noticed on the Flixter app that my local theater was showing it in IMAX & IMAX 3-D. We chose plain IMAX (no 3-D). At least that was our plan. We drive out to the theater and ask for tickets to the IMAX showing. She hands us tickets while telling us there is no IMAX showing at this theater. We asked the manager to explain. It turns out the (company) theater's app only advertised Real-D 3-D and 2-D showings. We were already there and wanted to not waste our time, so we just went with it and saw it in 2-D again. Very frustrating to get excited to see a movie in IMAX only to be let down by a faulty app. Whether it was wrong information retrieved by Flixter from the company the runs the theater, or some other reason, I'm tempted to just dump it altogether. I ask Flixter to get its act together so I don't have to be disappointed like this in the future. Choosing a 3 star rating until I see something is done. I'll check back.

UPDATE: Will you PLEASE for the love of cinema, read your App Store reviews and actually do something about it? I left a review a few years ago but chiming back in to implore a change because clearly no improvements have been made in YEARS. I say again: YEARS!! Everyone clearly hates this app and what Flixster has become, when it used to be a trusted source for reviews AND a reliable tool for keeping track of movies that you want to see or movies that you have seen and what you thought of them. I used to rate every movie that I saw in theaters and I would add every movie that I want to see to the… you guessed it! The “Want to See” list! Brilliant idea. Too bad I had hundreds of movies saved, and you deleted them all. No recovery, even after my initial review (and apparently, everyone else’s too). PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take action once and for all. Consolidate fandango and Flixster into one app, bring back the lists and user ratings, and for the love of god: DO. NOT. DELETE. THEM!!

ORIGINAL: I can no longer see my “Want to See” list or my movies that I’ve rated. I can click on any movie that I’ve added or rated previously and it will show that I’ve done so, but when I go over to the lists on my profile it says I haven’t added or rated any movies yet. Please fix this as I reference those lists often when deciding what movie to see or to recommend movies to others.

But then again I suppose it depends on how you use it. Some features might be 1-star horrible and others 5-star great.

The only thing I use it for is to see what’s playing at the local theaters and the showtimes. The reason I like this app best is when you tap the theater it shows the list of movies playing and the Rotten Tomatoes and user score right there to see. And if you then tap the movie you can then read the aggregated and reviews just like you can on the Rotten Tomatoes website. You can also play the movie preview.

The other apps have these features too but you have to dig deeper to find them (e.g. in the Fandango app you have to individually tap each movie before it will show the scores). Apparently there’s something horrible about this app, but for my use it’s a 5-star app.
