Where are the movies?

Until there is something to rate,I can not rate the app. The idea is great,and we can't wait to see how it works. There are a lot of movies out there,but they are not on this app!! Patiently waiting....

If you want to see the one movie this app supports, it's an amazing experience.

This app worked well, but I had to synchronize the description when it started. For some reason, the description didn't seem to start at the beginning of the movie. Once I hit the synchronize button, the app worked flawlessly for the next two hours.
This is a great app with a lot of potential, but the lack of movies makes it hard for me to give it the highest review that I can.
The manual for the app implies the description downloading will take seconds. On my Wi-Fi, it took a couple minutes. Be sure to do the download before you leave for the movie.

Has potential

seems very easy to use with voiceover. However as of today, 12 โ€“ 18โ€“2013, there is only one movie to download. I am hoping there will be more movies to try this app out with so that I can give it a higher rating. I think it has great potential for blind movie watchers and I am looking forward to more options for movies to watch.

Little more than a proof of concept

Right now, this app is frustratingly limited. While the company who created it has also produced video description for many TV series, they are not available for purchase and use with this app. Additionally, with only one movie available, it really can't even be used in movie theaters in most cases. I think I'll wait till the next version, or until more content is available to start using this app. Until then, it's just a proof of concept.

movie reading

Well, I still have quite a few questions which I still do not have the answers for simply because there are no answers on the developers website? The detailed app description says the audio description sinks in a theatre, but will it sink with anything else, a computer playing a movie or a home television in a house? It says there are in app purchases, so my question is do these in app purchases work outside the United States at all? Or are their the usual copyright issues and so on etc? My next question is if I purchase an item which doesnโ€™t work outside the US given there are no guides on the developers website as to what is and what isnโ€™t working so far as the in app purchases go, I take it there are no refunds? Iโ€™m actually scared to purchase anything whatsoever within the app purchases section, given that I live in Australia and not the US, and I have to be honest and say to you that although the app interface is fully accessible, I simply canโ€™t afford to take the risk of testing any of the currently or future available in app purchases content to see what does and what doesnโ€™t sink and which theatres or computers or home televisions could work with any of the sinking of the audio description track with the actual content I wanted to listen to with relation to using the audio description. Purely and merely based upon the actual interface of the application alone which is fully accessible for blind people, I can only at this time say this app is ok, so thatโ€™s why I am only able to give this app 3 stars. ***

Doesn't work

Nothing happens when it is supposed to listen to movie. No way to search or download movie subtitles. Useless.

English required.

The app has good potential but I'd like to see all the movies available in English so I can use it. It would be good to have a setting option also to show availability of subtitles in your chosen language.
