Entertainment Reviews

I have been buying the this app Book for Lancaster County for several years for me and my Daughters. This year my Daughter bought me the book what a waste of money, very few coupons for Lancaster and surrounding areas. I usually look before I buy. I just assumed when I told her to get me one she looked st it and didn’t she was disappointed also. Didn’t use one coupon. Several coupons in the book are for fast food and restaurants in our area but aren’t good in Lancaster. You better get More for Lancaster in your Book or you’ll lose a lot of business. If they had minus 1 that’s what you would get. My daughter did not apparently review the book and put the order in for me with hers. After she gave it to me we both looked st the book and neither of us thought the book was useless for our area. A few of the businesses are in our area but are not got in Lancaster. Obviously whoever put this together didn’t do a very good job of getting vendors in our area to participate! Totally disappointed I’ll spend my money on Local Flavors,

On impulse I uploaded Entertainment. I’m always searching for coupons and discount codes to save some money. I should have read little bit more about Entertainment. My excitement for Entertainment died as soon as I opened Entertainment . I was looking for at least couple of stores that I visit, but 80% of what was listed I never heard of, and remaining 20% I don’t shop at, or shop there every 2-3 years. Costco was the only place that I frequent, but that coupon was for new membership. At least I did’t pay annual membership. Now I just have to find page where it tells me how to cancel it

This company has been sending me a sacramento this app coupon book to my Mississippi address instead of California address. Everytime I try to contact them I get an email telling me they cannot respond to my email but to go through a certain link to make changes. I did that but still did not get a response. I therefore went on their site to cancel, fill out the entire form and everything but still no response. Instead, they charged me twice on my credit card for the book.
Warn everyone to not ever order an this app book online, they do not have a phone number for you to call, so when they keep messing up it’s too bad for you because they can just keep on charging your credit card!

My parents gifted the coupon book to me and I was super happy to find out there was an app to go with it (yay convenience!), BUT Entertainment has never worked for me. Every time I’ve tried to use a coupon Entertainment has crashed on me and will just fail to open (which is really frustrating when I’m at the register and was about to use the coupon, and don’t have the book with me because I was expecting Entertainment to work - like it should). Not sure what the problem is (I thought maybe it was a connection thing, but I’ve always had cellular data turned on for it). PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix this. Entertainment has been completely useless for me up to this point.

Wow.....I used to get these this app books every year back in the 90s when living in Cleveland, OH. I remember the book being FILLED with dozen of local fine dining choices. It was a great way to discover new restaurants. After many moves and a long hiatus, I purchased this app books along with the digital access for the Tampa and Sarasota areas. WHAT A LETDOWN! The offers on Entertainment show nothing more than mostly national chain offers with only a small sprinkling of Fine Dining and local merchant offers now! Obviously, this app is not putting much effort into getting local offers (at least in these areas). So Disappointed in your product! I had considered getting more books as gifts this Holiday season, but your team lost a sale and supporter here. I’m literally dumbfounded.....

When viewing the list of offers, only about 10 merchants load at a time. To scroll down and see the next 10, you have to wait for them to load/download. This is extremely time-consuming when you are trying to get to the bottom of the alphabetical list of online merchants. In addition, after viewing an offer and returning to the list, it starts over at the top of the list. Again, you have to scroll and wait; scroll and wait; scroll and wait; etc. ad nauseum.
Need to add the ability to favorite merchants or offers for quick recall later. The SaveAround app has this feature already.
The offers are good, but Entertainment experience leaves much room for improvement.

I had this for a week. The paper book coupons are a better value. I found a lot of missing discounts from restaurants when you use the mobile app. You can’t cancel your membership in the mobile app or on the website. You have to click support and type cancel, then they send you a link and jump through more hoops to cancel. I think Groupon is a better value and way easier to use.

Day to day around unfamiliar parts of Houston, it’s a lot easier to use Entertainment , than to try and correlate location with the book.

But, in NYC and Boston, having the book was ten times better than Entertainment . In both of those places, LOTS of places in between, and all over Florida, we soon learned to ask, going in the door!

NOT A SINGLE PLACE (out of about ten) in Florida knew about Entertainment . Some refused to consider it. Others, told Entertainment was why we were there, honored it as written. One offered a token percentage discount.

Similar experiences in NYC, NH, MA, and VT.

We have long been accustomed to finding coupons in the book, and having owners say they were not authorized or that the contract had expired. One place, close to home had coupons in the book for three (3) years after putting a sign on the door, stating that this app coupons were no longer accepted. Another place — CLOSED, gone, and replaced by a completely different establishment— continued to show up in the book for at least two years I haven’t checked the latest book.

So, when it works, Entertainment is nice. When it doesn’t work, it still saves money once in a while. But it is such a hassle we’ve almost stopped using it. Currently in NYC again, and in three days only tried to bother with it once.

The place had closed.

I love using this app app, especially when traveling because that’s usually how we decide where we want to eat or what activities we want to do! The only problem I encounter is businesses hassling me about using it because they have never heard of it or seen it before. If they are going to offer the coupon the employees need to know how to use and let me use it!

Has all the conscience of the bulky book in your phone, plus it's easier to give other people coupons, just send them a screenshot of a coupon,
Update: I took away one star because a fair share of places (let's say 1 in 5, a lot of mom and pop non chain businesses) DO NOT take the coupons as they say they never gave this app the rights to put in those coupons

I wish the searching feature was a little better. Some business names are spelled funny and Entertainment won’t find them unless it’s spelled correctly. It would be nice if available offers that had similar names automatically appeared when searching.

I just ordered an this app Book for myself and three for gifts. I have been purchasing these books for years. Didn’t get one last year and regretted it so am excited to get one again this year. The mobile app is such a great addition to the books as it does not limit purchase area. The books make great gifts for those hard to buy for people, hostess gifts, teachers, really anyone.

Easy to use and what a nice surprise to learn I can use it wherever I am & that it is not limited to the book I purchased.

My only recommendation is to please stay up to date with those merchants listed in Entertainment that no longer participate in your program. Get them out of there to avoid customer disappointment.

Overall, thank you this app! Keep up the great work.

I enjoy having Entertainment to find locations for dinner. It would be easier to find if one has been used if there were a notification on the first page of a restaurant indicating it has already been used. As it is, you have to go to the third redeem page before finding out that information! We use ours often.

I’ve always been a fan of the old school this app coupon books and Entertainment makes it easy to save at my favorite places without having to remember to bring my book! Super easy to use and I can also plan ahead when I travel for work by changing the location to view discounts in other areas.

I agree with a couple of the bad reviews that there is a lot less local offers but there is still a wide selection. While on vacation to Seattle, the digital membership saved me over $100 the first day! Buy one get one free tickets to all kinds of attractions, the zoo, the aquarium etc. Entertainment is a must have and I will never get rid of it!

Entertainment works very well. What I have found more than 1/2 the times I use it, the merchant is not familiar with the existence of Entertainment and how to use the electronic coupon and whether it is valid. Usually, the manager needs to get involved and then I’m told I will be given the discount my the manager...though I’m not being “given” anything more than I have paid for and what incented me to go to their establishment. It can be uncomfortable, takes extra time and embarrasses my family/guest so I may stop buying the this app book/app for this reason.

Love using this app App.
I always bought the big book, years ago.
It’s so nice having other locations available with having Entertainment .
The only thing that’s a challenge, is people realizing it’s a legit coupon. The businesses don’t educate their employees about these coupons. They using end up giving us the discount shown. But they enter the discount in a way that it’s acceptable to their business.
But, the looks i get when presenting the coupon to them… is sometimes disturbing. I’ve never lost my cool with them. I’m just more prepared to be patient with who ever is looking at the coupon.

I have been benefiting from the this app coupon books and app , in multiple states, for 2 decades. I have saved thousands, with big savings coming from hotel accommodations. Plus , I’ve benefited deliciously from discovering establishments I may not have otherwised patronized. I also take advantage of purchasing additional books as gifts and receiving the multi book discounts along with free shipping to multiple addresses. It’s a total win !! I really love the mid year app adds with new establishments being added. Looking forward to many more years of savings. Kaching!!!

For many years I have bought the this app Book and used Entertainment . It pays for itself many times over and I do not even use it near it’s full potential! If you are not afraid to use a coupon or search for a deal- you have to get the this app Book and it’s free App membership with it.
