*2025-02-28*

I got this app on my iPhone and now on my iPad too because it automatically downloaded when I upgraded and got a new iPad regardless it does not work the way that I thought that it was that it was supposed that I was told that it would I cannot play any movies on it just previews it's supposed to play movies before you they're out or before they out video or something like that and I have not been able to do any of that

### 1/5 — Waste

*2024-10-08, version 1.4.0*

Waste of time money and space in your phone, what do you need an app that guides you to where you can purchase the movie? You can do that on your own.

It just tells you info about movies, shows you the trailer or some behind the scenes which you can find in YOUTUBE.

### 1/5 — Nothing free, It’s to track your websites and subscriptions data.

*2026-08-23*

This app exists solely to track your subscription and website data and identification of IP addresses used for the device you’re using. If you don’t believe me then check for yourself. No movies are free on this app.
