The only thing you will see is pop ups!

Tried watching an episode of show but constant pop ups prevented viewing.

Pop ups every 2 mins that freeze the show and disrupt everything as you have to clear them all and then find the screen which vanishes.

Have read stuff online about site being dodgy so this hasn't improved my opinion.

I would advise to find another site to watch your fav shows as they just seem to want to push other things!

Seriously terrible picture quality

Seriously terrible picture quality for downloaded films - unwatchably bad. I have digital downloads for all the Harry Potter movies - firstly there is no way to download the 4K versions (despite this being what I purchased), and the HD versions just looks terrible - so many compression artefacts (blocky colours etc) - it's like stepping back 10+ years! It's the last time I purchase digital downloads.

Stay well clear of flixster, the digital age of movies means nothing to this company, but yet we all know this is the way forward and dvd will soon die a horrible death alongside lazer disc and vhs. I have spent hundreds of £ building my collection, only for Blinkbox and talk talk to give up on it and pass over to rakuten.tv to take over, which aided in the loss of many titles(to be fair to rakuten they have tried to resolve that issue and did so to my satisfaction) But it still left me short of many titles which I will never see again. Which leaves me with flixster which still has many titles which I lost on the transfer and although you are able to watch these titles via your ipad, iphone or similar tablet there is zero support for my laptop, unless I wish to buy a crappy chrome pad, not happening, so my other option would be projection.....but no flixster do not support this either! Having contacted flixster on many occasions I am fobbed off with the whole "Oh we are sorry this isn't available, maybe try our other supported devices" and then provide some crappy link to devices which I have already told them I do not have or something similar and just as skirting of the issue, which clearly shows they don't actually read the email! So my point being is AVOID FLIXSTER LIKE THE PLAGUE IF YOU CAN!!

Very low quality Digital Movies, on anything larger than an iPad

Most of the free Digital Copies, that come with a Blu Ray move purchase, seem to end up being made available to you through Flixster. Unfortunately, the picture quality offered is very poor, resulting in a terrible viewing experience, if watched on anything larger than an iPad. Although this is probably the fault of the movie studios, rather than Flixster, it does put me off using Flixster to watch any Digital movies.
