The app has no search option really?? In 2026? I can deal with the misplacement of ads, it is free after all. But I would think developers would want people to “search” for options and get watching, to help all those advertisers. Instead I’m stuck manually searching scrolling through all the options to try to find a movie that I can find on the official website. Also, a written synopsis of content would be helpful for several reasons. ### 2/5 — Terrible glitches with ads *2026-03-28, version 8.6* The only thing this app works decently on is my iPad, everything else the ads eventually freeze the app altogether. Same ad 6 times, over and over again. Finally gave up too many relentless ads and then it totally freezes. ### 3/5 — Great content, but same ad 10 times in a row? *2026-03-16, version 8.6* I like this app. And it’s free so I know there’s not much room to complain, but why oh why do they play the same ad like 10 times in a row? It’s maddening. What is the point of that? If it’s meant to brainwash you into buying the product it’s having quite the opposite effect. It’s making me despise the product and it’s gotten to the point where I just hit the mute button when the ads start. I understand nobody likes ads, but at least when you’re shown five different ones it doesn’t seem as bad. But the exact same one over and over again just seems pointless. ### 5/5 — iPad GEN 8 *2026-01-05, version 8.6* Awesome ### 2/5 — You have to be kidding *2025-12-17, version 8.6* I get the need for ads but…..you have to be kidding, 8 ads in a row every 15 minutes or so. 8 ads in a row is bad enough but 7 or 8 are the exact same ad repeated over and over. By the time you’ve seen the all ads you’ll swear to never by the product being advertised. On top of that the sound is twice as loud for the ads than the movie. Be ready to be jolted out of your chair when the ads pop up. ### 4/5 — 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼☺️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 *2025-12-17, version 8.6* 😊😊😊😊😊😊 ### 5/5 — Half light *2025-10-28, version 8.6* Demi Moore was great love her acting ### 5/5 — Excellent features *2025-10-27, version 8.6* Films ### 4/5 — Hot Stuff *2025-10-19, version 8.6* Great content! I appreciate being able to access full series of some of my favorite true crime shows. I get that my data is being sold to pay for streaming these shows. That’s dandy. Unfortunately it heats up my iPhone so much that it will stop charging for my safety. Take it easy with the data mining. This is being streamed on Apple phones and tablets, not gaming computers. If you can ever do this then I would happily give you 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Why so hot? *2025-09-28, version 8.3* I have it on my phone- nothing helps me get to sleep as good as forensic files. I have a timer set for it to stop playing after an hour, I’ll have it plugged in all night & my phone battery was 98% & it was hot. I don’t know what is going on with this app to get my phone so hot. I can have YouTube playing all night & my phone won’t get hot & still be fully charged when it’s plugged in all night. ### 5/5 — Something you’ll enjoy *2025-08-28, version 8.3* A wonderful variety of films will provide much pleasure and many great times at the movies will be relived… ### 5/5 — The best tv app ever!!!!! *2025-07-19, version 8.3* The best tv app ever!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Intolerable endless ads for Lavish Luck gambling app *2026-06-10, version 8.6* It would be great if the app actually allowed you to watch the movie but every few minutes you get 3 minutes of ads for Lavish Luck gambling and I vitriolically hate gambling apps ### 1/5 — Problems loading commercials *2026-02-15, version 8.6* Trying to watch a show and there are 8 commercials in a pod. Took more than 30 mins. The commercials are not loading right. The programming does. ### 1/5 — Holy glitchiness *2025-10-23, version 8.6* Ads cause it to totally glitch out. Locks up or boots you to a different show ### 1/5 — Film Rise: *2025-10-14, version 8.5* Your app is not blind accessible. Also, I hate that the ads are in the middle of scenes instead of in the right places. I wish you would fix that. Please make it a better much better user experience. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Too inappropriate and boring *2025-09-06, version 8.3* Bad ### 1/5 — The app is HORRIBLE! *2025-08-23, version 8.3* People drone in and drone on about the advertisements! THAT IS THE LEAST OF OUR PROBLEMS! The ads? I DO NOT MIND ADS! In fact I like the ads! It’s the search results! I was told the TV Show PARAMEDICS is on here, so I go to search the app, and all I get is MOVIES, Not TV shows! No way to look at TV shows! All it is is Movies. I wanted to be able to watch TV Shows with this app! ### 1/5 — Not good *2025-08-05, version 8.3* The search engine is bad. Hard to find anything. Too bad there are some good movies here ### 1/5 — Movies *2025-08-01, version 8.3* Please tell me if there is any way to read about the movies before you have to watch them? I’d like to read a description of what I will be watching. If you can answer me I will definitely change my rating. I saw no where to talk to staff or anything else, or I wouldn’t have done this rating. I just hope someone can answer me. ### 1/5 — Michael *2025-06-18, version 8.3* Another bait and switch scam. They got me for another $50. If you purchase ANY package with them you’re automatically enrolled in the monthly plan. Shame on you. ### 1/5 — Ads! *2025-05-29, version 8.3* Too many ads! Bubbye! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Filmrise *2026-08-02, version 8.9* I like the app because you can watch your favorite old school movies and tv shows. ### 5/5 — hd bdhe h dh susue ueb *2026-06-01, version 8.6* gd bd b dhe h dudhd bd he ### 5/5 — Great tv shows and movies from the past *2026-05-29, version 8.6* Maybe one or two commercials at the most for those old movies or tv shows.Not like other sites have to much of it. ### 5/5 — Free Shows Quality Viewing! *2026-05-21, version 8.6* Great selections of shows that are enjoyable, intriguing content that I feel is quality & a great value for no extra expense - I’ve appreciated for several years and count on them providing more view pleasure for years to come! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-05-07, version 8.6* My grandchildren can even find things they like,,, Thanks ### 5/5 — Best Wiggles video content *2026-05-05, version 8.6* You guys have the best Wiggles video content!🌈😀⏯️❤️💙💜💛📺 ### 5/5 — Great *2026-04-22, version 8.6* Beautiful ### 5/5 — Best free one *2026-04-08, version 8.6* Giant selection of full shows and movies, no commercials.
