Leave a Review Hallmark Movie Checklist
Movie List
I haven’t found a way to add only new movie premieres to my ‘Want to Watch’ list. It’s given me EVERYTHING, even movies I’ve seen 2-3 years ago! As an avid Hallmark Movie watcher I usually almost always watch new ones as soon as they’re broadcast and am anxiously waiting for the next release. I enjoyed using this app during Xmas. Very useful because they were all NEW releases. And though I now see the app have the new releases labeled ‘Premiere’ and they’re at the top of the list, I still don’t want to have all HM & HMM being broadcast showing. Ive had as many as 90+ in my count Jan thru Feb. That’s crazy! I wish they’d add an option to select ‘Premieres Only’ to show on your ‘To Be Watched’ List.Show lesscindy75le
Agree with everyone else
Love the idea of this app! It was very useful for keeping track of the new movies. However, I agree with the other reviewers that all of the hallmark movies should be listed! Plus, make it to where we can sort them by channel, year, etc. I also love the idea someone had about letting us have “friends” on the app so we can keep track of each other! That would be a super fun addition. And let us rate the movies! Also, it would be more helpful to have the movie’s description right on the app, rather than a link to another page. Another fun feature could be listing the actors and what other hallmark movies they were in. Keep me from going to IMDb! Ha!Show lessCBMommy
Nice, but....
Would love to say that I love this app, but it definitely has its issues. The biggest is that “App Help” on the App Store page only takes one to the app where I can find no opportunity for getting help. Next is that, while I’m pleased that they know that I’m in Mountain zone, it doesn’t take into account that my cable company is giving me the West Coast feed, so all of the reminders come at the wrong time. There should be some way of customizing the time to reflect when we actually will be getting the movies. That being said, having the update to get us past the Christmas movies and into the new season is great, although there are many duplicates and several older movies on the list.
Just my two cents’ worth.Show lessShe'll in Arizona
Now I’m watching all year!
I am a huge Hallmark Christmas Movie fan, and I’ll be the first to admit that generalizing this app to include every season’s events is brilliant. I don’t watch consistently during the rest of the year, but now I’m sucked in. I do have some requests for updating the app to be more user friendly:
1. Once we click on a title, a larger picture appears and we get more details. It would be awesome to be able to swipe left and right to toggle between details for each movie rather than returning to the home screen and navigating to the next.
2. Since the addition of Winterfest and Mysteries regular programs, movies that aren’t premiers are included. I love that they’re there, but it would be helpful to more easily recognize which are brand new this season. Maybe a “premiere” tab on the top near “want to watch”, or a handy premiere sticker on the movie promo picture. And I’d almost rather the Mysteries had sub-categories for the series since there are several of each.
Bravo to your marketing and development. I doubt I’m the only one who will be watching year round after this brilliant scheme!Show lessSteveTheGrizzlyBear
Great Start
I love that there’s an app to keep track of Hallmark movies and downloaded it as soon as I saw the commercial. However, I agree with all the other commenters about needing ALL the Christmas movies listed. I love watching my favorites each year, and record all the ones that I can’t watch live. I also love checklists😁, and it would make life happy to have one for all the movies you play each year! It would also be awesome to be able to rate the movies (and let Hallmark track popularity so you know which ones to play each year).
P.S. Please make sure to play all the movies in a series. I was sad that “Finding Father Christmas” never played once this season, even though there was a new movie in the series, nor did the first “North Pole.”Show lessRdufault7
Love it, but need ratings too!
I loved everything about this app, but do have some suggestions to make it even better next year. First, I would suggest a way to rate each movie (between one and five stars perhaps or maybe snowflakes for the holiday theme). Also, it would be more joyful to have some kind of congratulatory message or animation wants a checklist is complete. “Woo hoo, you watched them all!” Haha. Last, I loved both lists, but there should also be an option to include all movies on one list or an easier way to see them all without having to switch back-and-forth. I love this app and almost wish they had a countdown for all of the Hallmark seasons.Show lessChristmasEvebaby
List all new movies for both channels
We thoroughly enjoy all of the movies that are shown during the Christmas season. We noticed the coming attractions for the new movies starting after the first of the new year and would like to be able to have a way to track those as well. Currently I write them down by hand on a sheet of paper and try to keep track of them that way. It requires a lot of effort it would be so much easier if you app allowed us to have a list that we could check off so we would know which ones we watched and which ones we need to schedule to watch.
We watched nearly all of the movies that were scheduled for this Christmas season and a lot of those that have been shown in the past. It is so refreshing to see these uplifting movies at this time a year and it other times as well.
Looking forward to the changes to your app in the very near future.Show lessHLM_Fim
Cool start, hope it keeps evolving!
It’s fun to check off the movies so I think this is a great start. I think it’d be cool to have the ability to connect with friends to share your “scores” on watching the movies so far.
Like other reviewers have said, it’d be great if we could see all the movies together with the option of dividing by channel. Plus I’d love to see previous movies listed too. (And will this continue after Christmas?)
A technical complaint: When you go to a movie’s page and then return to the channel homepage, it bumps the page back up to the top rather than keeping your plane. So you have to scroll back down every time you look at a movie’s page. Kind of inconvenient.Show lessLizTheClementineZebra
Improvements Needed to Increase Rating
In my opinion this app should be considered as a limited value app in its current form. So many improvements could be made to make this app useful. A few of my suggestions follow:
*List all Hallmark movies from both channels on one page making it easier for people to find the movies they wish to view.
*List all dates/times new holiday movies will air, especially when running premieres on both Hallmark channels in similar time slots.
*I would ask that consideration be given to adding a complete listing of all holiday movies to air so that people, such as myself who enjoy watching some of the previous movies, can be aware of their dates/times.
*An ability to sort movies by channel (Hallmark Channel & Hallmark Mysteries), date, movie title, or actor making it easier to find movie air times.
As a side note to the Hallmark Channel itself, I see very little value to running a movie premiere on one channel at 8PM EST and a premiere on the second channel at 9PM EST on the other on the same day. Obviously many people would like to see both movies but must make a choice. Just as you stagger the start times, why not stagger the days when premieres are shown on the two channels thus getting more viewers on more nights thus increasing the marketing revenue.
Thank you in advance for considering these updates.Show lessenj0yl!f3
2 suggested improvements
I didn’t realize how many movies come out every year & this app helps you keep track. I like that the app gives you the date & time that a movie is on and then after it initially airs it lets you know the next time it is scheduled. Other reviewers have expressed that they wish the app included all Hallmark movies so I suggest that going forward, the app let you keep track of the movies by production year. Another suggestion I have is that app include a way for us to rate the movies, not just check off that it has been watched. This could even be helpful to Hallmark to see which movies people enjoyed the most.Show lessReviewer483
