  1. [R5] Cinemark Theatres 5/5 · US Cinemark App is Awesome: The Cinemark app is so easy to use. I strongly suggest investing in the Movie Club. The $15 a month is nothing compared to the savings. The 20% off at the register saves me $18 on all visits with my family. The theater in Beaumont is clean and well run.
  2. [R37] Cinemark Theatres 5/5 · US Single greatest rewards program: In the last two years I’ve spent $200 and saved over $450!!! I couldn’t be happier with Cinemark and this program. 10/10 highly recommend
  3. [R69] TheaterEars 3/5 · US Frustrating User Experience: I have used this app in the past to watch movies in English when I’m going out with my family who prefer to watch movies in Spanish. In the past, it has worked flawlessly. However, as I tried to watch Toy Story 5 as of recently, I was only met with interrupting advertisements at every click, constant reminders of the paid plan, long download times for the tracks, the a
  4. [R81] TheaterEars 1/5 · US Connection issues: In the last two or three times I’ve gone to the movies, the app hasn’t been able to connect to my phone at all. I’m basically paying for a service I can’t even use. They really need to upgrade this app because it’s not working properly.
  5. [R8] Cinemark Theatres 5/5 · US Best Movie Rewards App: Super good and easy to use
  6. [R12] Cinemark Theatres 3/5 · US Very slow: Most of the time you can buy tickets and food however, it is always slow, it takes a long time to open and if it signs you out is even worse because the sign in process is slow.
  7. [R61] TheaterEars 1/5 · US Enjoyable content, but,: This app provides enjoyable content, especially directors commentary. However, the ads that are served up in the free version are sleazy at best. Also there is no reason for this app to require having location services turned on all the time. While Using the app, I can understand, all the time there’s no reason. Makes me question what data they’re collecting and what are
  8. [R1] Cinemark Theatres 1/5 · US App unusable: The app won’t function for seat selection or ticket purchasing. Constantly throws errors and I have to go use a laptop to purchase tickets because your website automatically throws me back to the app everytime I try on mobile.
  9. [R19] Cinemark Theatres 1/5 · US Never works: This app has never let me book through it. Like I have to go to the browser to book any seats & what’s crazy I I’ll literally re download it every 6 months or so thinking they have to of fixed it by now, but nope…
  10. [R107] TheaterEars 1/5 · US Wasted time: Did not work.
  11. [R76] TheaterEars 1/5 · US Version with Ads: The version with Ads was better since you could watch movies in Spanish. Now it forces you to take a subscription that only offers one month free. Theater ears erased. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  12. [R102] TheaterEars 5/5 · US The best app!: We love the TheaterEars app so much! My parents love the theaters, but always struggled to piece together what the movie was trying to say. This app removes the language barrier and allows them to fully enjoy and understand the movie. It works so well and we haven’t experienced any issues with it so far. Now we can enjoy new movies together at the theaters without having to wait for
  13. [R44] Cinemark Theatres 1/5 · US NEW SCAM ALERT: Apparently, there’s a new scam going around where if you have the membership and then you look to go and try and cancel it. You’ll go into the membership settings and it’ll basically show you don’t have an active membership so then you just lose up alone. I’m thinking you know they must account by itself or something and then on the day of the renewal they go and actually charge it
  14. [R101] TheaterEars 1/5 · US No hay soporte: Tratando de conseguir Hokum y no salía. Pérdida de dinero.
