1.0 out of 5 stars tough to like February 28, 2013

By R. Umale

Good app for everything except watching downloaded movies. Streaming works but once you download a movie you cant watch it. I downloaded a movie so I can watch it over a 6hr flight I was on and I was unable to watch the downloaded movie and the plane did not have Wi-Fi. Not being able to watch the movie totally defeats the purpose of purchasing movies with a digital download if I can only stream it through devices. The only good thing about the app is getting movie times for local theaters and streaming. The other features, connecting to Netflix, Facebook, etc are useless and don't do anything but link everything together which makes no sense. If I cant watch downloaded movies soon I will unistall the app.

1.0 out of 5 stars Impossibly Complicated December 25, 2012

By Amy Smith

While quite excited to use this on my kindle fire, I just wasted three hours of my life attempting to make it work. Be prepared to create two new accounts and possibly be forced to sign in to facebook in order to get absolutely nowhere. Instead, just watch your movie at home and wait for a decent app to come out. Similar results on iPad.

1.0 out of 5 stars Annoyed January 14, 2013

By Johnny Topside

Bought a DVD combo pack with UV. Had to d/l this app on my kindle fire HD, sign up for two different accounts (Flixter and UV), and enter the UV code. After all of that, it won't let me watch the movie. Every time I press "watch now", it says "initializing", then does nothing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too much hassle and never completed signing up December 12, 2012

By Debbie

I got this as a recomendation from a facebook friend and found the sign up process rediculous. First I had to make an account then I began getting e-mails from various sponsers. The app is full of adds and I cant seem to navigate it, it keeps telling me it gave me a free movie but I cant find it anywhere and when I click on the free movie it says I already have one, frustrated and giving up!

2.0 out of 5 stars Sub-par in Kindle Fire December 15, 2011

By Christopher

No HD video streaming option on a WiFi only streaming device. EGAD! This app is sorely lacking tablet scalability. Perhaps they should re-phrase; "Watch high quality trailers and video clips" on a device 3 times smaller than your Kindle Fire. +2 stars for giving me showtimes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good app December 25, 2012

By Sama's29

I love Flixster and Ultraviolet on my computer so when I saw this app I was excited. Unfortunately it doesn't work. I downloaded the app, tried to log in, and it quit working. Ok, removed from device, restarted my kindle, and tried again with the same results. Tried the more times before giving up. I would love if this would work but until it is fixed will stick with Amazon instant video on my kindle fire.
