Comments on The Criterion Channel for Android

★★★★☆ Isaac Retana · Nov 12, 2025

Love the rotating movies they offer. Only gripe is sometimes my progress resets on a movie, and then I have to search where I left off

★★★★★ Erik Burke · Apr 16, 2026

A great selection of films, and the mobile app is fire! The other streaming services should take notes. Criterion really cares about the viewer.

★★★★★ Francisco Mercado · Oct 28, 2025

The Criterion channel is the best! I love the selection of films and behind the scenes videos. If you love film, then this is definitely for you!

★☆☆☆☆ Rex Xavier · Dec 11, 2025

Good selection but whenever I download a movie to watch offline it sometimes gives me an error message when I play it

★☆☆☆☆ Patrick Fillion · Mar 23, 2026

It kept saying my email had already been used for the free trial and there was no way to argue? I normally really like criterion, but after this one movie im deleting the app and will never use again

★☆☆☆☆ Cory Shore · Nov 5, 2025

No access to subscription controls through app, customer service requires you to be signed in to ask them for help. No success canceling subscription because they won't send a reset email.

★☆☆☆☆ Chris Zaic · Jun 2, 2026

This app does not play videos at all. Can't get it to work. The app on Chromecast also does not work at all.

★★☆☆☆ Kevin Ophus · Jan 7, 2026

The collection and curation are unparalleled. Unfortunately, the app leaves a lot to be desired. Slow and disconnects from casting constantly. Worse, it doesn't remember where I was at, so every time I restart it I have to scrub through to find where I was. Movie lovers deserve better than this app.
