### 4/5 — Not bad

*2026-07-22, version 3.4.0*

pretty good alternativd to IMDB i like it easy ways fo rank and all that

### 4/5 — 4.5 stars

*2026-07-17*

Personally I think this is the best app for ranking movies. The only reason it is not a 5 star is because of how little people use the app so the Globle rankings sometimes get skewed on not as popular movies. If it weren’t for that one downside I think this app is amazing. From the interface to the way movies are rated I think it is top notch. Definitely give this app a try

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words, we are growing fast!

### 5/5 — Better than any big company movie apps

*2026-07-13, version 3.3.8*

Just because it lets you rate with decimals automatically makes this app a 10/10

### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-07-09, version 3.3.7*

App is good ,, please support Arabic language

### 5/5 — Cool app for movie lovers

*2026-07-03, version 3.3.6*

Cool idea. Love ranking movies and this makes it easy.

### 5/5 — This is my favorite app

*2026-07-02, version 3.3.6*

I’m blown away by Circle Ranks. It addressed the need for a genuine app that allows users to accurately rate movies from 1 to 10 with decimals. This is the most effective way to do it. Additionally, the user interface is phenomenal. Every update makes the app better. I truly recommend this to everyone I talk movies with.This app has genuinely improved my life.

### 5/5 — Great way to rank movies

*2026-07-02, version 3.3.6*

Simple but very effective way to rank movies and see how they order with others. Would be great to be able to order all your ranked movies by like actors, genres and types of movies as well

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-06-19*

I love how you can rank to the decimal point. Also the UI and profiles are very cool. Just wish there was better genres. Also would be cool if a dedicated “quick rank” tab was added that grouped related movies to ones you’ve already ranked.

### 5/5 — Lots of unique concepts & highly responsive dev’s

*2026-06-11, version 3.3.0*

I don’t usually bother reviewing apps but I wanted to show my appreciation for this app, it has many cool features that differ from other movie databases like IMDB & Letterboxd, I particularly really fell in love with the ‘hot takes’ concept in which it lists your hottest takes which your rating differs most from the average of other users (if you rank a movie or series way higher or lower than most other viewers). The other reason I felt obliged to leave this review was because it’s such a breath of fresh air to have such a responsive founder/developer, I’ve left feedback on the app twice now & both times I got an email back addressing my requests, this is such a welcome level of engagement from the team that I admire. 

I truly believe if the developers & founder keep this level of engagement & enthusiasm for their app as it grows, this community will grow into something huge like Letterboxd. I suspect new features & tweaks to existing feature will continue to grow & be implemented on a huge scale & I’m very excited for the future of the platform.

### 4/5 — Peak Cinema 🙌

*2026-06-10, version 3.3.0*

This app is amazing. I’ve been able to find new movies to watch that are good and I’m able to rate movies which is fun.

### 5/5 — A perfect user-friendly app

*2026-06-05, version 3.2.9*

An enjoyable application not overloaded with “professional” critics☝️. 
it’s really entertaining to rate movies here

### 5/5 — Does what IMDb doesn’t

*2026-05-31, version 3.2.7*

:)

### 5/5 — Best Movie/Show Rating App

*2026-05-30, version 3.2.7*

So much better than Letterboxd. I love the decimal rating system and use their rec engine all the time to find what to watch next

### 5/5 — Amazing movie/tv show app

*2026-05-20, version 3.2.6*

Absolutely love this app, I really like that you can rate different categories of the movie and you can go in decimals, personally I like seeing how my own rankings end up! Really good way to see what real people think of what you’re watching! 

The only real improvement I would recommend is maybe adding something like franchise tags - for example when I search “Star Wars” it won’t show The Mandalorian, Ahsoka etc. because Star Wars isn’t in the title (not a complaint just a suggestion).

This will be my only go to app for movies and tv series from now on! Prefer it to letterbox 

Really great work guys :)

### 5/5 — Best Media Ranking App

*2026-05-19, version 3.2.5*

Great UI with an easy and intuitive design. Great features that are creative and useful. I don’t even rate apps but genuinely this is great.

### 4/5 — 4.5 stars

*2026-05-18*

Personally I think this is the best app for ranking movies. The only reason it is not a 5 star is because of how little people use the app so the Globle rankings sometimes get skewed on not as popular movies. If it weren’t for that one downside I think this app is amazing. From the interface to the way movies are rated I think it is top notch. Definitely give this app a try

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words, we are growing fast!

### 5/5 — top app

*2026-05-16, version 3.2.5*

Your app is the best in this segment, please add Russian language🙏🙏

### 5/5 — Actually fun rating system

*2026-05-10*

Really like the way you rate movie and shows on this app. Have tried a lot of different ones too

**Developer response:** Means a lot, always open to making it better! Shoot me an email james@circleranks.com

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — not ready

*2025-07-21, version 2.7.03*

don’t run ads on instagram if the app is this unfunctional

update: i mean this app looks like it was made in microsoft paint

### 1/5 — Not sure how to get a movie to play

*2025-07-11, version 2.7.03*

No response from any body. No help at all. My post won’t show up. Which makes Me believe it’s all Hogwash. So far LIES AND MORE LIES I can’t even play one movie or one show. The reviews must be fake. Deleting this app.Can someone please explain with steps how to get a movie to play on My   I Pad Thanks much. I will change My rating after I get a movie to play. Posted July 10 and waiting. Giving this App a chance to perform first before I delete it.

### 1/5 — will never work

*2024-06-22, version 2.0.3*

quit now there’s about 25 better options way ahead of this

### 2/5 — Need a decimal please

*2025-03-21*

Great app, but still waiting for one that I can do a decimal. 9.0, 9.9, 9.6, etc. I got excited because I saw the friends average with decimals but I can’t input them myself.

### 2/5 — Potential but lacking

*2024-12-02, version 2.4.2*

Some major movies missing from the database, and the app occasionally freezes. If they’re able to add the missing movies, would be a fun app to use with friends.

### 3/5 — Idea?

*2026-08-14, version 3.4.2*

Add a watchlist, when rating movies if i havent seen it but i wanna see it i want to add it to a list so i can watch and rate later.

### 3/5 — Am I signing up for a new bank account or something?

*2025-10-18, version 2.901*

You’re bombarded with 50 questions before being able to use the app, all just to be a laggy interface that stutters with every swipe.

### 3/5 — Potential…

*2025-07-23*

I wanted to rate it 5 stars… but having friends weigh more than rankings is bogus. There are a few users glitching this app by mass friending… it has slowed down and ruined this app. I’m out until they fix it.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback — totally hear you. A fix is coming very soon to address this! We really appreciate you using the app, and if you have any other thoughts, feel free to reach out directly: James@CircleRanks.com.

### 3/5 — Any chance of Anime?

*2025-01-03, version 2.5.2*

Great concept! Would you consider adding anime shows and movies? My friends are very into anime and it would definitely be something I recommend everywhere if that was included

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-08-15, version 3.4.2*

They should add video game rankings to this app

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — New feature

*2026-08-19*

This is far better than any other TV show rating app out there. The analytics they give and the ability to rate per season, per episode, comment on each individually. The UI is just incredible and very easy and intuitive.
Can we have a button to tally how many times we have seen a certain episode?

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-17*

Amazing app, exactly what I was looking for, to be able to rate movies and TV show shows in the same app from 1-10. The only downside for now is that some movies that I wanted to rank just aren’t in there, letterbox for example is much less of a problem for that.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2026-08-06, version 3.4.2*

This is far better than any other TV show rating app out there. The analytics they give and the ability to rate per season, per episode, comment on each individually. The UI is just incredible and very easy and intuitive.

### 5/5 — Major issue ruins the app for me

*2026-08-01*

Great app other than the fact that I can’t see what all my friends ranked an individual app. I can’t see their average on every movie, but I can’t see a list of rankings which seems to be a major mistake and defeats the purpose of the app for me

**Developer response:** Hey! Every friend’s average shows up on every movie and show, right next to the app-wide average. Shoot me an email at james@circleranks.com let’s touch base I want to make sure it’s working for you!

### 5/5 — A+

*2026-07-27, version 3.4.1*

Brilliant platform with a great UX. App creators are responsive and interactive with the community.

### 5/5 — Letterboxd who?

*2026-07-23, version 3.4.1*

This is 10x superior to Letterboxd and legitimately sets a new standard for reviewing apps as a whole. I’ve wanted an app like this for years and CircleRanks finally delivers.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-23*

Love the rating system, also like I can rank each tier which are broken up by decimal points. It gives you a running all time list of movies. I also love the subcategories rankings, I pull this app first when ever I watch a new movie

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-07-20, version 3.4.0*

I’ve been looking for an app like this for a long time. I was actually getting ready to build it myself. Great work by the devs on this one.

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-07-18, version 3.4.0*

Live

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-07-15, version 3.3.8*

I’m impressed with the whole idea love the app
