MUBI: Stream Great Cinema app good for
Not all films by far, but who can ask for more. Happy to be subscribed.
My Mubi app crashes about once a month on an iPad, and stops working, so I trash it and reinstall it.
Great app, with excellent usability, and awesome movies. Really recommend!
MUBI gives a grand selection of diverse films and documentaries for the art house lover. I often discover and love films I wouldnt have watched by my own choice.
Maybe not for every one - but a must for the lovers of more artsy or complex cinema.
Simple and refined interface with good streaming but lots of times the app crashes on my iPad, maybe I should reinstall.
I would like to see notebook and other features of the website included in the app :)
Used this for travelling. I could download when I was online and watch when I was off. I liked seeing movies that werent ones I would otherwise see
MUBI is a curated service, so lets get this out of the way: youre not going to find movies based on genre, popularity, or for an extended period of time. Rather, youre given a choice of films that have been selected by film enthusiasts, with the condition that you have 30 days to watch them from the moment of their appearance.
App-wise, the layout is simple but very easy to navigate through, with clear indications as to what you are about to watch. Subtitles tend to be limited (some have subtitles, others dont), and generally speaking the sources are variable. This means you may not necessarily get the best HD presentation out there, if no current sources exist or are unavailable to the curators. Nevertheless, its an invaluable source and a repository of wealth for any film aficionado looking to expand their horizons.
Not to mention that incredible Lav Diaz retrospective they have going on currently!
Some bad moments
This is a poor service. Im just going to stick with Netflix and Hulu
The advertisemnet for this app looks great but it wont completely download to my 6plus iphone. It will give me an icon but wont open.
The MUBI app on iPad does not support fullscreen display on a TV. That means that if you connect your iPad to an HDTV with an official Apple HDMI adapter, youll see images cropped left and right, up and down. Its like letterboxing on steroids! A disgrace. Whats the point of watching an arthouse film on an iPhone?
Love the Mubi service and picks, but the app crashes on load **every time**. Useless on my iPhone until this bug is fixed.
In previous versions you couldnt even download a movie properly. Like that is the whole point of the app. To have it offline if you do not have access to a normal computer...
I cant get past the load screen. IOS8 on iPhone 5C. Fix it please!
