Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Generally very good, but limited to PC use/playback. Can't get an app for my smart tv or my playstation (3 or 4) so having to plug my PC into tv to watch is a pain. Could do with some cheaper Buy opti... See more

Considering the deals we used to get at video rental outlets I feel there is a price cartel going on as all online streaming services seem to cost the same. In theory the overall overheads should be... See more

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

inadequate service - not as good as it should be.

The new rentals are expensive because they are the same price as what they used to be at blockbusters but you have no shop overheads or hard copies. At busy times the service is poor. I tried to watch mr Holmes yesterday afternoon. I gave up trying and had to watch it later because of the constant buffering. I have super broadband and it doesn't happen with Netflix so this is definitely a problem with blinkbox. And this happens all the time with blinkbox.

still has Google chromecast iPhone problem.

great, but movies still don't stream from iPhone 6 to Google Chromecast.
it's been over a year without this patch/fix being sorted out.

Blinkbox was always my number one choice for movies, but recently I have started using Flixster as it offers a working service and works with chomecast.

Blinkbox has some great offers on movies though, good pricing.

Easy to use

Easy to use to rent or buy films, quite a good choice. Has various offers at any time, which sometimes includes recent releases. Occasionally get 25% off which is when I generally use the service.

Good range of films

Good range of films, bit expensive as not all are available to rent and so I have to buy them so it costs that much more. I'd probably use it more often if the rentals were more wider in range and cheaper.

Subtitles missing

Hi Dear
We are a substantial number of foreign s in Uk and I will give a suggestion to improve Blinkbox , excellent service, to help us , in the other hand, to improve our English language understanding making available English subtitles option on all movies offered.
Kind regards,
