    …app does not work for me. I unable to sign in now and do not know why. I am my family’s IT and am tired of trying over and over again. App needs to be fixed. Edit May 2024: The app will not let me sign back in. There is no “Sign in” option. Only an option to “create an account” on an iPad. Again please fix this app. 1 star rating is only for this app. Again the content is great.
  • The most amazing streaming service ever.

    Hosting thousands of films. Restored 4k film prints. Bonus features. Custom film playlists curated by staff members. Film commentaries. Exclusive premieres from filmmakers and artists that you may never have an Opportunity before to learn about. Conversations with filmmakers. An impossible task of watching every film in a collection of the most wonderful films ever made. What more could you ask for.
  • Great Service

    App for both iPhone and AppleTV could use some enhancements. But the app is bare bones: we have great movies, the app works, you can watch the version we deem most appropriate for watching (theatrical release, etc), and you can download and pick up where you left off.

    The collection speaks for itself and the app works well for me consistently. That is more than I can say for any number of larger streaming apps, so keep it up Criterion (also release 4k Amadeus, Barry Lyndon, and any version of Lost in Translation thank you)

    You won’t regret a day of having Criterion channel. The movie selection is deep, wide ranging, and unexpected. Consumers used to boring watch selections from Netflix or Hulu will be blown away by what’s here. And that’s just the features, the special featurettes are even better!
  • Best. App. Ever
