## Reviews

### "Simplifying ticket sales" — 4.0/5

> **Domingo Antonio** | *25 June 2023* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: As the owner of a small independent cinema, one of the things I liked best about this software was how easy it was to implement and start selling tickets right away.
> 
> **Cons**: One of my least favorite things is that I sometimes experienced speed and performance issues in the software.
> 
> The intuitive and friendly user interface made learning and adapting very easy for both me and my staff.

-----

### "20+ years" — 5.0/5

> **Bryan** | *14 February 2020* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The Reports are exactly what we need in order for our accountant to do their job.  Love the Kiosk too\!
> 
> **Cons**: With the changes thats been made in the past years, I really don't see any.
> 
> \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] takes good care of us.  We stupidly switched programs 15+ years ago to a Windows based (we've used Sensible since it was DOS based) not knowing he had updated to Windows as well.  WORST decision ever.\!\!\!\! \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] took care of use then too when we switched back once we found this out and we've never looked anywhere else

-----

### "Used it for years" — 3.0/5

> **Meadow** | *18 February 2023* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Pros, it was a pretty straight forward software to use and easy to find numbers and reconciliations.
> 
> **Cons**: Didn't have some features we needed when we were using it - when using it in years past there was no seating chart function to sell assigned seats, and no online ticketing system for a while.

-----

### "A Night at the Movies" — 5.0/5

> **Belinda** | *16 February 2020* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use.  No little gimmicks and it's fluid.
> 
> **Cons**: Only thing  I can think of would be nit picking something.  Nothing about the software that I do not like.
> 
> It's always been good.  \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is and has always been been helpful.  Especially in stressful situations.  Sincere and overall,  it's just a good product and experience.

### "Very good customer service" — 5.0/5

> **Ellis** | *14 February 2020* | Motion Pictures & Film | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very user friendly. 
Love talking to the admin \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]. 
Anytime of day.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish they could have an on-site technician.
> 
> I know very little about computers and \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] \& Sensible Cinema will always go over concerns with me.
