MoviePass is a free-to-download lifestyle app dedicated to providing you with easy access to movie theaters nationwide. It is a premier subscription service that allows you to view showtimes in over 4,000 movie theaters and purchase tickets in advance. The service is similar to AMC, Regal, Cinemark, Alamo, and Megaplex.

When you sign up for a MoviePass subscription, you will receive a membership card within 10 business days that you can use as soon as you activate it for swiping in agents or kiosks to purchase movie tickets. Your subscription is also free to cancel and reactivate anytime you want.

Get credits to watch any movie

Subscription plans vary and you have the freedom to choose which one suits you best. You can get 10 up to 1,200 credits which depend on your location and plan—any unused credit within two months will roll over for future use. With this handy app, you can use your remaining credits to purchase ticket discounts during off-peak hours or opening weekends.

Unfortunately, it only supports booking for standard 2D showings, while tickets to special events and film screenings are not available for purchase. However, the app makes it convenient to attend your movies because your e-tickets are good enough as passes to enter the theater—no need to bring your membership card. Almost all movie theaters nationwide are included in the roster, too.

If you're a new user, you might also have trouble subscribing because it is on a waitlist and invite system. The waitlist opens temporarily and once it's closed, the only way for you to join is by accepting an invite from an existing subscriber. Additionally, you are not allowed to purchase credits for another person. You can only buy one movie ticket a day.

Great service with some drawbacks

For a subscription service, MoviePass can truly give your money's worth—that is, if you're already an existing subscriber. It supports a comprehensive network of theaters that you can be confident that your local movie theater is a part of. The rollover credit system is also practical, allowing you to consume them at your own pace. Overall, it is a solid app aimed toward the convenience of existing users.
