I got through that only to get 10 more minutes of viewing and then 10 more advertisements ... I just turned off the movie at that point ... I would have dealt with 4 to 5 ads but 10 is excessive and ruined the movie .... let me know when you change that and I’ll be back then ### 2/5 — Nope *2019-11-19, version 12.160* Using iPhone SE, and IPad, running ios13, will not play movies and won’t cast to my tv. I’ve tried reinstalling 3 times with no luck... ### 3/5 — Endless Ads *2025-04-11, version 15.2.1* Great concept. So I’m digging the B rate horror, my issue is that the app gets stuck on the ads and will literally replay the same ad until I close the app and restart. More than willing to change from 3 star to 5 star if this is fixed ### 3/5 — Good Content but… *2022-06-25, version 15.2.0* I love the content on this app. The movies are not mainstream for the most part and hard to find elsewhere. However, it keeps getting hung up every advertisement break on a 15 second loop of “spotx”. It goes on forever and I have to close the app and start over. That gets a bit annoying when trying to enjoy a film. There is some kind of glitch. ### 4/5 — I don’t mind ads, but really 5-6 ads all one rt after another *2025-03-25, version 15.2.1* I don’t mind ads, but really ### 4/5 — Hard-to-find films galore! *2021-02-20, version 12.160* Can’t believe “Basket Case” is here! And “Deep Red.” Haven’t seen them in ages. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Great concept *2019-12-16, version 12.160* I have confidence it will get better with time .. great initial programming ### 4/5 — Great *2019-10-29, version 12.160* Great streaming service! They will be bringing more & more of the best content! ### 5/5 — Simply brilliant streaming with terrific selection *2024-01-13, version 15.2.1* I love the theme of dark subject matter that runs through Dark Matter TV’s entire catalog. This app is a bit like Tubi, but on steroids. Oodles of creepy underrated low budget action/thrillers/horror/slasher/obscure/cult/classic films and an awesome collection of tv series. Original content too! Don’t hesitate to download and use this app. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super cool *2021-01-08, version 12.160* Free, no sign up, and really good library of action and horror movies I haven’t seen anywhere else. Great for those bored by what’s out there on the popular streaming services. ### 5/5 — Please share! *2020-06-08, version 12.160* Good app. True to it’s purpose ### 5/5 — Movies you never see anymore *2020-05-12, version 12.160* Love this app. If you are a fan of B, C or even D movies, this is for you. All of the old sci-fi and horror movies in one place. ### 5/5 — This service is exceptional ! *2019-11-29, version 12.160* I could literally binge watch on this app all day and it’s easy to use. ### 5/5 — Recommend *2019-11-16, version 12.160* Worth checking out really enjoyed this app. Nice film collections and playlists ### 5/5 — Best app Eva *2019-11-04, version 12.160* Such a great app. Love the curation and love that it is free. ### 5/5 — Rad Movies for Free *2019-11-02, version 12.160* Works great on my AppleTv!
