5star movies

So far I like what I see in the information I receive from this app but once I actually get to watch a movie or show that I Save and added to my watchlist this app would become the best movie app I came across by four but until then it’s pretty much the same as any other movie app I mean I wish at least once a month or once a week I would be able to watch a new movie for free if not just any movie but a top rating most popular movie in theaters from this movie app a movie I chosen from my watchlist but overall I gave this app five stars

Slow

Love that I can keep track of what shows I'm on and what episode of each show in on. Also love that I can find what streaming device each show is on. But most of the time it's so slow and it buffers and doesn't bring what you have clicked on up at all, it will keep spinning/buffering even after a few minutes. I try to force close the app often, restart my phone sometimes even, but always the same issue. I have been using this app for over 3 years. I love its features but Hate the constant buffering and slowness of the app. They really need to fix that! Seems like it's been getting worse over the years happening more often and for longer wait times.

Down the Drain…

What used to be my ‘Go-to’ app for up to date info on any film or TV series anywhere on the Web, has become a useless piece of trash. It was THE app to locate and watch anything and everything I ever wanted, a Search Engine for Entertainment. … All gone. It isn’t even worth the space it uses to keep it on my devices. I was practically begging them to develop a version for Apple TV. Now it’s not even staying on my iPod. Goodby old friend. Whoever is responsible should be drawn and quartered!

False info and lags

I only downloaded this so I can find what stream service has whatever show/movie I’m looking for. This app works sometimes but gives false info saying certain stream services has what I’m looking for but then when I go look it’s not there. It’s also lags and delays when trying to search. Don’t bother there are way better apps to do this.

Update: I deleted this app when I wrote the review and have since found an app that works fantastic and does what it says it does.

Forcing upgrade!

Every time I open this app and try to use it, it signs me up for the paid version with the 7 day free trial (which of course if you don’t cancel the free trial, it automatically charges your account) and then tells you that it has signed you up, and the only option you have to click to clear the screen is “OK” then when I go in to try to find it in iTunes to cancel, it’s not there. I do not trust this app anymore. I used to absolutely love it, but since this has happened every time I open the app I am now deleting it and will never download it again! Very shady Yidio! Shame on you!

Pretty Good

I used this app for a while to find out where I could watch certain shows. They seem to have moved away from that convenience feature in recent updates. Also, the app is very slow, and always has been. I’ve since switched to JustWatch and I like it much better.

So convenient!

I love and recommend this app. I subscribe to many different streaming platforms and hated searching each one for a particular title. My only question to the developers is: I see you have Disney Now, but when will Disney+ be included?

Amazing but....

Is App is great. It has all the show I want to see. I love that it’s free too. But the thing is that when I put a movie to my watchlist it doesn’t go there so I have to search it up. The other thing is that how do I watch the shows I want to watch. I press on the episode that I want to watch but then I don’t know what to press because it for say anything else. So I don’t know what to do. I want to watch the shows but I don’t want to pay anything. Thank you for taking your time and reading my review. Hopefully I get a reply to see what I can do.

Great app but needs some work

Here’s what I think should be changed:

1) Although load times have improved with recent updates, the app still takes a little too long to load initially.

2) The biggest bug is that the app will not restore to the original position in a list after viewing an entry. For example, if I search movies by a set of MyApps and start scrolling, I may scroll through 5 pages worth of movies, find one I like, and then click it to view details. Everything is fine till this point—now here’s the problem—when I click back to return to the list, I start back at the beginning of the original list! There should be a way for the app to “remember” where I left off and return to that spot. Web browsers have been able to do this sorta thing since their beginning. It shouldn’t be that much more coding to add this small feature. Without fixing this bug, it makes practical use of the app very limited.
