Because i have a bank of movies in my external storage, and i want to moderate them and categorize by genre, cast, imdb rate… but in this app you can’t do that and you must import any movies by search. and it’s not useful at all ### 3/5 — can you help me *2020-05-11, version 5.4* i have a question ok so i’m trying to watch my show twilight saga and i dont know how to work it and i just got it today ### 3/5 — crash a looooot *2017-05-20, version 3.4* it's pretty good app and saves time.. but always crash and full of bugs .. I hope it gets fixed ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2016-05-09, version 2.7* Pls don't waste your money on this app. If you want to see trailers then use IMDB website. ### 1/5 — Do not buy 😆😂😏 *2016-02-14, version 2.7* No good no good just a piece of crap ### 1/5 — Don't spend your time *2015-10-10, version 2.6* It doesn't work at all ### 1/5 — Negative ghost rider *2015-10-01, version 2.6* App doesn't work. Period. ### 1/5 — Don't download this *2015-08-21, version 2.6* It's a fake it's free but fake you can't look at movies it's has movie pic ### 1/5 — Horrible *2015-05-29, version 2.1* I got this for free, I can't imagine paying for it. It crashes constantly and half the movies I try to go to open up a completely different movie. There is no way to browse movie genres to easily add to your watched/need to watch list, so you literally have to search for EACH MOVIE you've ever watched if you want to add it. This is not worth downloading for FREE, let alone paying for it. ### 3/5 — Excellent just buggy *2015-05-29, version 2.1* Excellent idea, a much better way to inventory movies. More exciting than just a spreadsheet. Great visual representation, lots of info on cast, marking watched or unwatched, etc. No it doesn't play movies, duh!! Only complaint is it crashes a lot, hoping that gets fixed. ### 1/5 — Don't buy this app *2015-05-29, version 2.1* Message to the developer: Can you add a file manager + video player build-in with casting support ( chromecast and smart TV) and subtitles feature? ### 1/5 — BULLSHI... *2015-05-29, version 2.1* This is a crappy app ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2015-05-28, version 2.1* I would like a refund this app is not what I expected ### 1/5 — Shockingly bad total rip off *2015-05-27, version 2.1* Doesn't work never has waste of money ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dumb app *2021-11-23, version 5.6* Scammer get scammed ### 1/5 — … *2021-11-02, version 5.6* There’s only three movies😐 ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2019-01-23, version 5.0* The design is buggy on iPhone XS Max a lot of overlapping. Without trakttv support it is useless. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work on IOS 11 *2018-08-18, version 4.2* As per other comments just get black screen. Very poor. Uninstalled, don't waste your money. ### 1/5 — 🤬🤬😤😤 *2018-06-24, version 4.2* What a rip off, you only watch trailers!!! ### 1/5 — Film box *2018-06-18, version 4.0* Does not work ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2018-02-27, version 3.5* Thought this would be a great app for listing all the movies I want to watch and have already seen but nothing loads. All I’m getting is a black screen it’s shocking. The developers need to sort out their bugs. ### 1/5 — Crap App 😩😩 *2017-08-14, version 3.4* Keeps stalling on cloud upload..... Can I get my money back? ### 1/5 — Worthless *2017-04-21, version 3.4* Can only see movie descriptions/ratings....can not watch movies....not even clips! ### 1/5 — This is garbage. *2016-06-05, version 2.7* All you can do is watch trailers that anyway you could have watched for free elsewhere. For this they charge 0.99? Please don't buy! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Can't see details of film or tv *2018-06-23, version 4.2* I downloaded this app and when I add a movie and then try to see the details of the film the screen is black nothing shows up I downloaded your other two the episode box crashes please fix this problem as your app is good please fix this" ### 5/5 — You may not like it but I do *2016-10-08, version 3.2* This app is like IMDb it's pretty good I like it since I am a movie lover you may not but I do. ### 5/5 — Best Movie list app *2016-02-15, version 2.7* Have tried a bunch of them. This one is by far the best. ### 5/5 — Cool *2015-05-30, version 2.1* Nice ### 5/5 — Great movie organization app! *2015-03-24, version 2.0* I have been looking for a way to see all the movies in my collection. This app is so clean and smooth! ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2015-03-08, version 2.0* Let me first just start off by saying that no, this app does not allow you to save movies to your phone and watch them anytime (as some others believed that the name entailed). However, it does do far more than watch trailers and I feel that this is a fantastic app and it certainly does not deserve that one star rating. If you are anything like me, chances are you love to watch movies. This app is fantastic for me because it allows me to make an organized list of all the movies I plan on seeing, and allows me to mark them as watched after I've done so. It also includes their ratings from IMDb and is just all around a very helpful app. I highly recommend it, do not let the other reviewers persuade you that it is bad, as long as you know what you are downloading, you'll love it. ### 5/5 — Box of lies *2015-01-29* This app does not stream movies don't download it's less then worthless deleting after I post this ### 5/5 — Super Time Saving *2014-08-20* I wat spending half time of a movie by searching and choosing one to watch. But now it takes 2 minutes to search and choose one. Thanks. ### 4/5 — Works fine *2015-08-23, version 2.6* To the commenter who thinks it's fake. I downloaded and tried it, and like it : On movie pages, below the cast of characters, there is a series of icons including a play icon (arrow) that takes you to previews. ### 4/5 — does what it says *2015-05-30, version 2.1* lots of low ratings from people obvisily thinking it lets you watch free movies, it doesnst ley you watch movies illigelly, what it does is organise all the films you have seen, want to see and movies coming up in a neat database, this is a great app for what it does --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
