Popcornflix – Movies & TV Reviews

by DaddyCub79

The idea is great, I won’t knock that. A 90 minute movie (1 and a 1/2 hours) quickly becomes a 17 hour movie to get through with the commercials. I HATE commercials as we all do, but a commercial about every 2 minutes for a 90 minute movie makes the movie 100% unwatchable. Maybe if they offered a subscription for a couple of bucks a month that would be okay, but to have to sit through a movie that is extended from 1 1/2 hours to over 3 hours because of commercials is like watching TV, only regular television has LESS commercials. Until that gets fixed this is an immediate uninstall. After the first 35 minutes of trying to watch a movie I just gave up. It’s really just a waste of time at this point. I get that app developers need to make money, but with thousands of viewers there’s no way you aren’t making enough money to at least take half of the ads out. Uninstalled!

I am legally blind. When I tap on the picture of a movie or TV show it does not say the name of the movie or TV show using voiceover on an iPhone. It is very easy to make an app making sure that it is accessible to the blind. And as I said you get what you pay for it since you didn’t pay for anything you don’t really get good content. All the sci-fi movies are horror. Not bad but terrible even horrible. I don’t think I will be keeping Popcornflix. I went through the reviews and I only found one or two that were halfway decent reviews. Of the dozens of reviews I read only one came five stars and even that person complained about it.

Ok I’m not a person who usually writes reviews, but on Popcornflix I had too. I was trying to look for a good series to watch after I had finished all the dance moms, Abby lees ultimate dance competition and raising Asia seasons and I downloaded Popcornflix but when I got on too Popcornflix seriously no movies or series kids or adults from this century would want to watch so if there was something possible as giving a 0 star rating I would. Thank you for spending your time reading this review I’m glad my voice was heard.

After reading the reviews on Popcornflix I thought I’d give it a try. After downloading and signing up it crashed. every time I try to click on Popcornflix to sign up it would say that my email was already in use so I will go to sign in and it would crash again leaving me disappointed and forcing me to uninstall and reinstall thinking that was the issue but it wasn’t. I don’t know why it keeps crashing but I’m done and frustrated. Uninstalling Popcornflix.

All the movies I saw were really for adults or baby shows. Being a preteen, I enjoy things like the greatest showman, Deadpool, high school musical, the sandlot and K.C undercover(tv show). I think I would enjoy Popcornflix more if it has more movies for “the middle” audience. However, I definitely will give Popcornflix a plus because it’s the only one I found that has free movies. For now, I will take Popcornflix off my iPod until this problem is fixed.

I Like that all the movies are free and stuff but there aren’t really any movies that are interesting just old school there aren’t movies like Happy Death Day Or Purge Or things like that not any in the time zone some of us like but if you like old school movies then I would recommend but this isn’t really for people like me who like newer movies as there aren’t any and it says that any English movie is blocked or not allowed to be viewed in my country but when I go to my country it works I kinda see that as racist and but I understand I just would recommend it

I wanted to watch the horror found footage film called vhs and vhs 2 but the vhs 2 was strange. It had all the audio EXCEPT for human voices throughout the movie. I even forwarded to multiple scenes but still the same result. Just people’s mouths are moving only. I watched the same scene in an official trailer and it does have audio for human voices. I don’t know what but it’s just something that this app messed up on and needs to get it fixed ASAP.

Also the ads are WAAAAAY too long and too frequent. Every 10 to 15 minutes, I get 2 ads which are 30 seconds long each. Sometimes even 40 seconds and the other 30 seconds. If I’m lucky I get 1 ad which is just 5 seconds and the other 30 seconds but this is rare. It just destroys the mood of the movie. Even if it’s free, I’m considering deleting Popcornflix due to its heavy repetitive ad system.

There are like 0 good movies Popcornflix is free I have to admit but there is just old movies. When I go to family movies the most recent is like from 2014 or 2015 is the Highest I’ve seen. Then under recent movies I see some from like the 1990’s and I’m like “wow NEW REALEASES”. I really would use Popcornflix more often if the movies were actually in the time zone of now. I have been searching for movie apps and so far this is the only movie app that is actually free that’s why I gave this a two star and not a one star rating.

Popcornflix has really improved but I think your app is behind on movies and series. I believe this is 2019, but I haven’t even seen 2018 movies. Movies like “ The Lion King”, “Captain Marvel”, “The Hate U Give”, “Aladdin” etc should be there and series like “Blindspot”, “Grown-ish”, “Blackish”, “Stranger Things”, “Games People Play” etc should also be there. I believe that if you can add these types of things to replace your old content, it would be much much better.

Thank you, and I hope you take this into consideration 🤗

Definitely needs work. My goodness an video streaming app, though be it free. That doesn’t have a favorites so you don’t have to hunt down what you want later, is just...well....stupid. Makes no sense! I can see why they have no search engine. They don’t have enough content to do this. A lot of their stuff is old but free. Plus they need to at least alphabetize their content. The way it is now is just a category with a mishmash of content. Idea of app...great. Format....is terrible.

Hi! Recently there is no sound when you play certain movies. That is very disappointing as I had never had any issues watching movies or shows since downloading Popcornflix .
The movie Portals has really good rating and it’s disappointing that the dialogue of the actors is missing. I do hope you will fix this issues quickly.

Thank you.

My only real problem with Popcornflix is that I have to choose which device to play a movie on EVERY time I play a movie. (My thinking is,) if I’m on my iPad that’s where I want to watch. If I want to watch on Apple TV, I’ll download Popcornflix on my Apple TV. Same if I want to use whatever other streaming device I may use.
Not a big deal, but a little annoying that it doesn’t (at least) remember my last choice.

by Rodneydoodles

I love how many movie choices there are , even if I haven't heard of most of the titles .
What makes Popcornflix almost worthless , is how long it takes for an add to finally buffer so it plays . The movies them selves play seamlessly . But man the ads take for ever to play and they play much like a broken record . I can sit through a minute and a half of ads a few times through the film . No problem . But it takes as long as five minutes for even one of them to play .
I thought it was my internet connection but my other free movie apps don't have the same issues .
Popcornflix would be ideal, if not for that .
I hope it gets worked out because this could be a great experience for movie lovers .

I’d give it a 5 star rating if the search feature worked, it says it doesn’t have certain movies yet when I google “(title of movie) this app” it shows up so it is on there but just doesn’t show up in search feature. Pretty annoying. Other than that big thing, it’s a pretty awesome site,yes,you have to watch ads but hey I’m getting movies for free. I like it. But please fix search feature.

I love Popcornflix cuz of the good selection of movies and shows, especially for being free, but why aren’t the same shows on the Xbox? I just got this app on my Xbox One and tried watching Rango, but all the good shows including Rango, Friday the 13th, and 21 Jumpstreet weren’t there and was just a bunch of bad b movies. Now I’m not saying all b movies are bad, but it was just really low quality stuff

Found several movies I enjoyed. The worst is when commercials come on and the volume they play at, gonna blow speakers! Be prepared to watch with remote in hand and mute as soon as it goes to commercial! With that being said I enjoy this app free movies & shows 😁👍 4 stars due commercial volume 😡

Popcornflix is made exclusively for impulse watching. There’s no Watchlist to save titles for future viewing. There’s no search function in the version for Apple TV to find movies you might want to see. There’s also no alphabetical or age organization; only titles in random order by category. That makes it terribly inefficient for busy viewers. For instance, if you find out a movie is available on this app using an app like Just Watch, it could take hours to actually find the movie in the this app app.

The iOS version permits you to register an account, but, since the Apple TV version does not contain a signin means and neither version permits a Watchlist, registering in the iOS version serves no purpose.

Popcornflix is simply not ready for prime time.

Popcornflix has vastly improved over the first time i saw it, its absolutely bursting with movies a huge improvement over the limited selection before and with a huge selection of sci fi movies and horror movies i love Popcornflix sure the programs could be better organized but with such a huge selection of programs i’m not complaining plus its all free what more can you ask for. 👍 👍

Thank you so very very much for the blessings of free movies and tv shows.
I am a grandmother{60},disabled, surviving on a small monthly income...so naturally I cannot afford cable tv or any other pay tv. I solely depended on a couple of DVD’s at retail price from Walmart every month. I commend your service and you, because it has truly been a huge blessing for me.
I did my research about this app, and Google gave you a 100% rating.* Thank you*

by RC Cop

super great app but needs a request a movie on it would make it better can update Popcornflix needs newer movie on it would also make it better thanks And it would also be Better if Popcornflix would run on The iPad 2 like it use too please fix this Bug and now it won’t let you request the password reset though email please fix the reset password so you can change the password if needed too

The good about Popcornflix is there are a few movies that I like. The bad about Popcornflix is no search function, no keep watching or queue functions, and at times the screen orientation went opposite and only corrected itself with shutting app and reopening. Upon reopening, and after searching for movie in the categories, the movie started at the beginning.
