lifesaver❤️

i psychically couldn’t watch films with illness in it because of my emetophobia - this app helps me skip the parts I can’t watch. It’s so useful and I couldn’t be without it; if you have a fear get this app immediately

Essential

This app is literally the only reason I can watch movies without extreme stress. The second I see an animal on screen I pull up this app and it has saved me from hundreds of horrific images that would have otherwise haunted me. I find the interface easy to use - immediately seeing a red yes or a green no is so helpful. I especially love the feature to pin your triggers since there’s soooo many on it, so seeing it all at the top is great.

Genuinely helpful and one of my favourite apps

Love this app/website and use it often as I have complex PTSD, DID and photosensitive seizures and the warnings really help. Have been using for years. I only wish that instead of having a page of the most common movies’ poster art (which often feature nudity or things that are huge triggers for me that I don’t want to see on the unavoidable front page) I wish you could have a section where it shows the media’s you’ve recently added to or searched as if I’m watching a show over the span of multiple days I often have to open the app and then search and then try to find the exact one I’m looking for. I also wish people would stop clicking “no” for things that are in the media like often there is flashing but it’s listed as a no which is frustrating. I also wish people put timestamps for flashing more as those are so helpful and I’m often not able to risk my safety to document them. I also wish you could share a specific media’s DTDD page, maybe if they put a share option next to the report button as I have to close the app, search on the website and then find the right one to share with friends. I hope they add more sections in the future too. I’ve also had a bug where I cannot report duplicate media or report anything without it saying “network error”. I’ve also noticed sometimes I’ll search for the trigger and it won’t show up despite me using the same words that are in the question or trigger name

never been so happy with a recommendation

someone in a tiktok comments section suggested this for someone else, but i’ve been trying to figure out a way to find out if i can watch a movie/tv show, with my trauma of body parts and specifically heads being crushed which isn’t really something you can google obviously but this just works perfectly!! also my sister is emetophobic and this is better than a reddit list of approved movies

Life changing

I love movies but everytime there was sickness it would spoil the whole thing! Leading to panic attacks and ruining the whole day! Now i can watch movies happily, knowing when to skip, what to avoid etc! I’m so much happier and it’s all thanks to this app. I think the shock of not knowing it’s going to happen or the unexpected nature of the sickness in the movies without the app really made me panic. But now i watch without anxiety! Get this app if you experience anything related to triggers!! I recommend to everyone I know!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

No more trauma triggering!!!

As a victim of sexual assault, I can’t say enough how much this app means to me. I love horror movies and thrillers and dramas, but the amount of content that includes graphic r*pe scenes is absurd! (Outlander, I’m looking at you.) Thank you for allowing me a place to conveniently and easily find out if a movie or show is going to trigger my trauma. There have been MULTIPLE times I intended on watching something but found out from this site that it would actually be triggering and painful for me to watch (without having to spoil anything if it ended up being safe to watch). Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Started off very useful

But has devolved into a kind of diary of fringe political views. Some of the “triggers” are getting ridiculous. For example, any depiction of the police “could be triggering, particularly to black and LGBTQ people…”

No thanks. The utility of the app has been taken over by the same societal madness as everything else.

amazing and reliable

DDD has been a LIFESAVER when watching movies and shows, like a lot of these reviews i have emetophobia so it comes in so handy as it allows me to check (without spoiling) if it happens and when. you can also set up an account and specify which things you’d like to check before watching a show or movie which is soooo good. 10/10

Great app but just too many triggers for animals

I love knowing what to expect in a movie (or what movie to avoid) but do we need a category for dogs, then animals, and specific categories for horse, rabbit, cat, DRAGON? is this so common dragons need their own category ?

It just dilutes where information is found and i see that a lot of comments are in mixed up categories (eg horse dies, it’s checked “no” but if you read in the “does an animal die?” Category it’s there that a horse dies at x.)
