    This app is so frustratingly incompetent. Every login is a battle of wills in trying to get it to work. Copy Netflix if you want a format that’s hassle free.
  • Best app ever

    So glad I subscribed and have access to independent, original, global cinema. Just wish they were better about data privacy.

    Random movies keep filling up my ‘Resume’ list. These are movies I haven’t started watching nor bookmarked in any way. There’s no way to delete many of them, and for some that I have been able to delete (by fast forwarding to the end), other movies pop up to replace them. There’s no way to contact Criterion to fix this.
  • Great content, want a few interactive changes

    I’m a charter member of the Criterion app. I love the movies, the additional content and the straightforward navigation. I’ve always viewed this app as being directed at people who adore films to a nerd level. So, in addition to Watchlist, I would love a section where you can list/rank your favorites (not necessarily to watch again but just so you don’t forget gems that you saw once but can’t remember the name of). Also, removing films more easily from the Continue Watching stream should be easier because we’re all allowed to abandon films we don’t like and not have to be reminded of them whenever we’re on the app. Overall, I’m a big fan! I would just love a few tweaks.
