### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2026-02-07, version 3.1.2*

Very slow to load. Have to keep logging in. After logging in I go back to the page I was on and it says to log in again. Please separate episodes for show series like, When Hope Calls,so we can check them off individually. 

It appears the last time this app was updated was 2 years ago. Please fix issues

### 3/5 — Need help

*2026-01-17, version 3.1.2*

I love the fact that I can check off what I’ve watched, however, this app is extremely slow and it isn’t put together well. I’ve asked for help several times regarding Want to Watch list that says I have three items but when I click on it nothing appears.

### 2/5 — App Needs Lots of Improvement

*2025-11-09, version 3.1.2*

I had been logging in all the movies I have watched for years and all of a sudden everything is gone.  Tried to sign in and couldn’t.  Tried to change password and was told there would be an email which I never received.  Just very frustrating.  But I do love the programming especially during Christmas season.

### 2/5 — Checklist not updated

*2025-11-02, version 3.1.2*

The printable checklist is NOT correct. They have changed some movie premiers that do not match the checklist

### 3/5 — GFAM checklist

*2025-10-28, version 3.1.2*

Love the channel it is the best,  but when I try to bring up my open app to see the 2025 checklist all that comes up is blank page and they just advertised the checklist on theGFAM channel on Direct TV. ☹️

### 3/5 — Need for all movies

*2025-10-24, version 3.1.2*

This app should be for all movies like hallmark does  to keep track of all gac movies Not just Xmas.

### 1/5 — Fix issues please

*2025-10-13, version 3.1.2*

can’t u check off movies i have watched or add to my watch list

### 1/5 — App support

*2025-10-12, version 3.1.2*

This app is no longer supported by iPhone. No way to track movies any longer

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2025-08-05, version 3.1.2*

Takes too long to load if it does at all. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Romance novels in virtual form.

*2025-05-21, version 3.1.2*

This is nothing but dream fantasy and romance novels in movie form. This rots the mind and we wonder why some many broken marriages.

### 1/5 — No Schedule

*2025-02-27, version 3.1.2*

Unlike most entertainment apps this one does not have a schedule available of even what is showing now. Needs to have a schedule section and also needs to have more information on the movies and shows.

### 1/5 — Not an up to date listing

*2025-02-01, version 3.1.2*

I’ve watched several movies that do not show up on the list.

### 1/5 — App is aweful

*2025-01-25, version 3.1.2*

I have tried to get the most current list of shows since October and all I have is a blank screen.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.

### 1/5 — App continually crashes

*2025-01-13, version 3.1.2*

I am using the app on an iPhone 16, iOS 18.2.1. My login info is saved but about a month ago, the app begin crashing as soon as it loads. I have tried clearing the cache, then completely deleted the app and downloaded again from the App Store. I set up my account and then the app crashes when trying to load the homepage. I have written to App Support three times over the last month. The second time I wrote about 2 1/2 weeks ago, I got an email acknowledgement that my email had been received and someone would be getting back to me, but have not gotten further assistance.

### 1/5 — Last bug fix.

*2025-01-12, version 3.1.2*

Since your last bug fix every time I try to open the app I get a white screen. It’s useless to me. I use it on an apple device.

### 2/5 — Feedback

*2025-01-11, version 3.1.2*

App is very slow. When opening a movie you have to hit the back button multiple times just to go back to the main screen. Also, noticed it doesn’t include older movies such as 2017 movies. Needs to include all movies that air on the station.

### 2/5 — Sad

*2024-11-30, version 3.1.2*

Not up to date. Takes too long to load. Disappointed

### 1/5 — Blank screen

*2024-11-03, version 3.1.2*

I have a completely blank screen. I deleted and reinstalled. Still blank

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Needs lots of Updates

*2026-08-05, version 3.1.2*

The app would be helpful if it would add reminders to my calendar. When checking off a movie having to click back multiple times is a pain. Love the shows but the app needs drastic improvements. Hallmarks Apple is so easy to use and adds reminders to my calendar for new premieres, come on GAF get the app working better it needs a major overhaul before Christmas!!!

### 1/5 — No update

*2026-07-23, version 3.1.2*

Never has the new movies.

### 1/5 — Super Slow

*2026-07-08, version 3.1.2*

Very slow to load.  Hard to find what you’re looking for and the slowness just makes it worse.  I would watch more on this channel if I could navigate their App.  Hallmark’s is so much better I find myself choosing those movies because I can find them easier.

### 1/5 — S

*2026-05-22, version 3.1.2*

So much potential so poorly executed

### 1/5 — Not Working

*2026-04-11, version 3.1.2*

This app is not working. I only get a while screen with logo. I need to be able to see movie listings (like the Hallmark app) so I can set DVR to record. Disappointed.

### 1/5 — Tedious, Slow, Inaccurate

*2026-03-01, version 3.1.2*

This app is a great idea but the execution is terrible. It is extremely slow to move around in. The my watch list section is always inaccurate. Anytime you go into a movie you have to click the back arrow twice to get back to the screen you were on. Simply put it’s tedious to use and frustrating they don’t seem to make any fixes. The Hallmark app is far superior.

### 1/5 — Nice to have- But

*2026-01-10, version 3.1.2*

They need to update more often, show more than Christmas movies

### 1/5 — 2+ years and no improvement

*2025-11-14, version 3.1.2*

This app is clumsy at best. There are way too many clicks necessary to choose movies seen or want to see. Like many others have said-All movies per category-Christmas, Romantic Comedies etc., should be listed on one page with a checkbox right there. This is an easy fix. Please care enough about viewers to get this right. We don’t need games within this app, at least until it works properly.

### 1/5 — Blank screen

*2025-11-01, version 3.1.2*

I have nothing show up but I plain white screen. I have removed and reinstalled the app twice and nothing has changed. 
Funny how you push downloading the app, but when it’s downloaded it doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-10-15, version 3.1.2*

I’m only getting a white screen on my iPhone 15. Why doesn’t it work?

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Christmas under the northern lights

*2024-11-11, version 3.1.2*

Excellent!

### 5/5 — Too slow

*2023-12-05, version 3.1.2*

Even the new version is too slow.

### 5/5 — Easy to Use

*2023-11-13, version 3.1.1*

I’ve had no trouble with the app.  I’m able to move from screen to screen with minimal time.  Adding  movies to my calendar was super convenient.  I’ve started my checklist and am excited to start enjoying some great Christmas movies!

### 5/5 — Love Great American Family! Great app!

*2023-11-06, version 3.1.1*

This app is a great resource to all the wonderful Great American Family Movies!

### 5/5 — Issue

*2023-07-22*

I am unable to click on the movie title to mark it off.

### 5/5 — SO. EXCITED.

*2023-07-08*

I’m rating a 5 because you have a quick sign up, have all the movies there, it’s organized well, and you can watch trailers and prioritize.  High Five!

### 4/5 — Refreshing

*2024-11-22, version 3.1.2*

I have watch a number of movies on the Ap since late summer and now into fall. It has been reliable, easy to use, and all of the movies enjoyable. A fun mix of romance, humor and some mystery. Loving the Christmas movies now. It seems they have worked hard to address issues shared a year ago and made great progress.

### 4/5 — Nice to have a checklist

*2024-09-15, version 3.1.2*

This is a fairly nice app. On an occasion or 2 it seemed to default to 2023 checklists & older.  It appears to be the section below below the previews which shows outdated info such as the “what’s on tonight” - not working, and shows “Christmas in July” & “July calendars”; these section need to be updated.  
It would be nice if we could have a calendar widget list to put on our Home Screen to show what’s on today/tonight. It would be nice if they could somewhere show a daily schedule of what’s on in list form. The only thing I can find in the app are previews of what’s on. I would prefer a list that I could scroll through & only watch previews if I choose to for a movie. It would also, be nice if they could somehow clarify exactly what the differences in each channel is; esp with all the recent changes & new Great American Pure Flix channel. And identify what shows/movies can only be seen on a certain channel temporarily or permanently.

### 4/5 — Great!

*2023-11-05, version 3.1.1*

I’m so excited to have an app where I can mark down all of the movies I have seen and keep up with all the ones that are coming out! The app is a little slow, but that’s OK. You’re just getting started! And I’m just glad that you made it for us! We appreciate all you do for your viewers. Keep up the great work!

### 4/5 — Long awaited app checklist for all movies!

*2023-10-08, version 3.1.1*

So excited to have this app with all movies, not just Christmas. You can read the summary of each movie along with viewing the trailer. You can add it to your watchlist as well, and mark once you watched it (which then removes it from watchlist to watched). I know there’s probably room for improvement and the dates are not updated yet, so you cannot add to your calendar, but what’s vital is there right now and once the kinks are worked out it will definitely be 5 stars.
