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

Love BB offering. Would be great if Blinkbox could enable items purchased from a UK account whilst overseas to be available straight away. Just bought True Detective whilst overseas, and planned... 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

Easy to use

Easy to use but would prefer to select films by category I.e rental or buy. I would use this app to rent films but it's not always clear on first glance what are rentals or purchase only films

Great site for movies

Love this this, reasonable price for more up to date films. Easy to search for films and it also offers deals from time to time. Saturday nights would not e the same without blinkbox

Hopeless if you live in Dorset (just 100 miles from London) and don't have decent quality broadband.

Your chat line was very helpful and the website is well laid out (tho' I wish you had more less mainstream films; it's a pretty middle-of-the-road selection. How about an arthouse/foreign film selection like Curzon on Demand?).
I am 24 hours into a download (Eden (2015)) - and it's now at 31% so that'll be 3 days downloading!! (Really!). I can get TV programmes streamed and I can download a programme in 15 minutes. Obviously the image quality on a movie is going to be better but this is ridiculous. Why not give me the option to download a lower quality copy?
Mark.

Disappointed with discount code not working ...

Usually I'm happy and buy all my online movies through blinkbox but today I'm angry hence the lower score -I was emailed a voucher code that had expired by the time I ever received the email, and then I got charged full price for a movie (which I already have on DVD so don't want) when I pressed the back key on my browser 😕. Perhaps they should reward loyal customers rather than those that receive the email first?

Good service

We've used Blinkbox a few times over the last couple of years. We've had cause to call for help once and we were very impressed with the support that we received. As for the downloads, a great choice of films. We like to download our films before watching them (because of our internet connection). This seems to work well. Last night we were able to watch one movie while downloading another, a really useful feature if, like we were, you're in the mood for wathing more than one movie in an evening. The downloads took a little longer than I'd hoped (about 30 minutes) but all worked really well.
