### 1/5 — Useless app -waste of money

*2025-12-30*

Don’t recall what this is supposed to do now as it promised.   It doesn’t seem to do anything except renew my credit card with its “service”!  

Even an Apple tech helping me recently asked me about the charge listed and neither of us could figure its function or value etc 

I’m going to alert my credit card company and call the number but it’s troubling to know this App is so mysterious and can’t be good.

**Developer response:** Hi,

Can you please contact me via support ASAP as this is very unusual. All payments and billing are handled by Apple's in-app purchases so you can easily see your subscription for this app in your phones subscription settings, please contact me so I can help you.

Kind regards
Andy

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

**Developer response:** Hey, 
Hi,

As per the App Store description this is an informational only app (like IMDB) you can't watch or stream anything. It's designed to help you get the most out of your existing subscriptions by allowing you to find and track your favourite originals shows and movies. I'm sorry you didn't like my app, you can easily request a refund from Apple, if you have any issues whatsoever please reach out to me via support so I can help you out. 

Kind regards 
Andy :)

### 1/5 — 🥺🥺🥺

*2024-12-12*

I thought this was a different type of app. I paid the yearly fee just to learn you can NOT watch shows. It just shows you where to watch and maybe a trailer on the show. I DO NOT RECOMMEND

### 1/5 — This is an app that really has no value to it.

*2024-12-11*

I just purchased the year $14 something. This is an app that really has no value to it. 

This app resembles an app that has tv shows, and movies, but when you go in to watch the show or movie there’s no play button. It tricks you into thinking it’s one of those apps like peacock, Pluto, where it has old shows waiting in archive to enjoy. 

I thought there was going to be a way to watch the paramount network on this app. I’m trying to watch the last season part 2 of season 5 of Yellowstone.

This app is all about Paramount shows and movies and where to find them to watch apparently. I think you can set up watch parties with your friends if they have this app. 

I again did not find what I was looking for. I’m not sure what happened to the Paramount Network app that used to be available on the App Store.

Hi Andy, 

I’m not sure how to reply to your message that you left for me below. I personally did not find a value in your app. If you the developer find a value in your app, write your own review on how great the app is. I’m writing for the people like myself that may come into the App Store looking for away to watch shows like Yellowstone season 5 part 2 and see the image of Yellowstone with Keven Costner and across the image watch here. They may get confused, decide to purchase the app thinking it’s paramount, and once they get the app set up they find out it wasn’t worth the purchase. It wasn’t paramount, you couldn’t watch Yellowstone, you cannot watch anything on the app. They may not care about the other benefits of the AI, because they weren’t here looking for that in the first place. No they were looking for an app to watch a show and this app was not it. So to that person or persons… no value was found. 

Thank you 

Ps. I’m not looking for a refund or I would have cried about that in my review, but not reading your description on what your app is designed to do makes me the idiot, not you or your app. 

William

**Developer response:** Hey, 

Thanks for your feedback, I'm sorry you didn't like my app. As per the App Store description you can't watch or stream anything other than trailers or teasers. It's an informational tool only (like imdb), I'm sorry if there was any confusion. 

The app has a heap of features that are unlocked with the montly/yearly purchase that help you get the most out of your Paramount+ subscripiton, like advanced searching, episodes insights, collections, SubscriptionsAI and much, much more, so I don't think it has 'no value' but I'll work on making the features of Pro clearer in the future.

If you mistakenly purchased Pro you can easily request a refund from Apple and if you have any issues please reach out to me via support so I can help you out. 

Kind regards 
Andy :)

### 1/5 — 최악임

*2024-12-08*

플레이 어플이 아님. 환불해주세요

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요, 앱 스토어 설명에 따르면 이 앱은 정보 제공 도구일 뿐이며 앱에서 아무것도 스트리밍할 수 없습니다. 실수로 Pro를 구매한 경우 Apple에 환불을 요청할 수 있습니다. 문제가 있는 경우 앱의 지원을 통해 저에게 연락해 주시면 도와드리겠습니다. 친절한 인사, 앤디 :)

### 4/5 — Informational App Only

*2024-12-07*

I’m a bit unsure what exactly this app does.  Are there any type of tools that can help me understand how to utilize this app?

**Developer response:** Hey,

This app helps you find and track originals shows and movies, it allows you to track your watch progress, gives you insights into shows and movies and alerts you to production changes as well as much more.
If you have any more questions you can always flick me an email and I'd be happy to answer any of them :)

Kind regards
Andy
