## BFI Player Classics Reviews in United States

### *---- "Poor Selection"
Really poor selection of British movies. Many are avaliable on other streaming platforms. I only found 1 film that you are unable to find on another service. They also use Vimeo as their "host" who I do not like.
-- George Orr, 2024-07-12

### *---- "FRAUD! STAY AWAY"
Similar to other reviews. Paid for annual subscription and get endless loop of “Subscribe to Watch” and “You are already subscribed.”

Have contacted support but no replies. 

This app needs to be pulled and people refunded.
-- dgeorgak, 2024-04-27

### *---- "Paid subscription no access to content"
Paid for a full year subscription. App endlessly cycles with movies locked and no access to view. Reached out to support and no response. FRAUD DO NOT PURCHASE A SUBSCRIPTION FROM THEM
-- Falcon Nest, 2024-04-02

### *---- "Paid for annual subscription but app can restore purchase"
I paid for an annual subscription but the app still locks paid content. No one has gotten back to me from the support team. What a rip off
-- mvfc3, 2024-03-29

### *---- "Cannot set up an account"
I downloaded the app from the App Store and I select subscribe only to have it cycle endlessly.  I would really like to subscribe but the functionality of the app seems suspect.  Please help resolve this problem.

### ***** "Works for me"
I started my trial last week I love all of the British classics and cult favorites. I love all the movies here on BFI player classics? Plus eyebrows to the app it has the Alford Hitchcock collection huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock plus I love all of the other movies on here such as the wicker man! And I also love and soon the darkness! I would love to see more movies added to be F5 player classics and more popular ones to keep adding more movies to your library how about hey Futura called BFI player classics live! So I have to say BFI player classics is the bomb I am a huge horror movies fan I would love to see more horror movies added to the library in the future! And I also hope that BSI player classics can make it to Plex which has all live channels and watch for free! And keep updating the app love the iPlayer classics!🥰
