Flixster website or mobile app down as of April, 2022. I can't say if all the former features of the old
Flixster still are active/available but as a going concern under Fandango's management it seems to still be operating in some form. Someone else can scan through the article's main body and fix any areas out of date that incorrectly suggest Flixster is no more. My current sense is that the Flixster name is just a brand used by Fandango, as the Fandango and Flixster websites seem to have much the same content, but sinse their is still a working website and mobile app for Flixster without evidence to the contrary I believe we have to treat it as going concern and if we can source evidence that the name Flixster is currently being used simply for Fandango.com content under a different name then we can clarify that in the lead and elsewhere. --
