Don’t download it ### 3/5 — One small issue *2023-02-16, version 2.1* The app is great, I don’t have to pay for anything and all kinds of genres of movies are on here. But I still need to sign in. I can’t though. I can’t click ANYTHING on the website. Please fix this ### 1/5 — You can’t play anything, what a scam! *2023-01-26, version 2.1* This augmented reality is a scam! It just shows up as a gray box. It gives you an option to find the movie on iTunes, which defeats the purpose of this app. I can’t play any film. I would not recommend this app. It’s a waste of time and it’ll quickly raise your blood pressure. ### 1/5 — Trash *2023-01-24, version 2.1* Trash app. Just allows ads to pop up so they are making money off your back. ### 2/5 — Great variety, but I wanted free stuff *2023-01-18, version 2.1* I downloaded this to watch movies for free, it just took me to the itunes store whenever I clicked ”watch.” The only redeeming quality is the variety and selection of movies. ### 2/5 — I’m not falling for this anymore *2023-01-01, version 2.1* Ok, so, I recently bought this app because I’m to broke to actually download a movie app and pay for it every time. I have to much movies I like and I can’t choose one to relax. This app is just a scam! When I search up the movie I want to watch I don’t see a button that says “Watch Movie” or “Play”, when I see “Get this movie” it brings me straight over to ITunes, and there’s to much ads by the way. ### 1/5 — It’s NOT FREE *2022-12-30, version 2.1* I downloaded this app and the first movie I clicked on, it sends you to a web page where to gain “free access”, they want your credit card number. This app is a scam. Anything that’s FREE won’t ask you for your credit card number. ### 1/5 — Fake app *2022-12-30, version 2.1* Will take you to different website to pay every month and then will ask you to purchase the movie fake app ### 3/5 — Please fix and ill give 5 start *2022-12-21, version 2.1* Love the sote tried everything ive seen to fix the issue but every time i try to watch something it just showed the ar screen black and wont do anything ### 5/5 — I love movies *2022-12-17, version 2.1* So great that you’re able to get free movies and really stop and enjoy them. Thank you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — My experience *2024-02-01* the app doesn't even work that well and when you go to the camera, it just shows a black box it doesn't show the movie on the box like is supposed to do and when you go to the movies, it doesn't show anywhere you can press play to watch. ### 1/5 — Do not allow camera access *2024-01-07* Don’t download - don’t allow camera access for “play in augmented reality” None of the features promised actually work, while the app will make continuous attempts to ask for various permissions from your device. This app is highly malicious ### 1/5 — Worked for half a second *2023-11-30* Literally only watched half a movie, went to continue watching it the next day and doesn’t have the play button anymore. I tried to check a different movie and show and same thing. Thought I actually found something that worked ### 1/5 — Bots doing 5 star I think *2023-08-12* You can't watch the movies on this it will bring you to a 3D tv that doesn't let you watch it in your camera or it will bring you to a iTunes account that you have to buy that movie from not worth the time don't download this app ### 1/5 — Not at all what it seemed to be *2023-07-21* Trash gimmick app. Why would someone want to watch movies in virtual reality when your solution is make someone hold their phone up awkwardly so you can see the fixed position screen somewhere in front of you. Maybe for that overpriced VR headset Apple wants people to buy but nah. ### 1/5 — Read description *2023-03-23* I was quickly trying to find a streaming app for movies and shows and this just takes you to iTunes to purchase or rent the movie. Which I could do without this app so not sure what the actual point of it is for. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t let you watch anything *2023-02-15, version 2.1* As other reviews have said it just shows you the cover art and bio of the film lol you can’t watch the actual movie unless you buy it from iTunes so im not even sure what purpose this app serves ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-02-07, version 2.1* This app is good if all you want to do is look at the cover art. There is an option to “play on augmented reality” which takes you to a small black screen and nothing else. Oh and you can read the movie description. Horrible app! You can’t even watch a movie trailer! ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work, *2023-02-05, version 2.1* only show a click ad, and never allows you to actually watch a movie. ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2023-02-04, version 2.1* Ok please explain to my how I pay for a movie and then instead of getting it I get a movie from 9 years ago !!!!!! Seriously !!! How !!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A few changes needed but great nonetheless *2024-02-03* I downloaded the app and used AirPlay to watch on the big screen at home and it worked with great quality but once my phone turns off the air play disconnects and my phone won’t stay on while I watch the movie. If possible please make it so once it’s in AirPlay you can turn your phone off and still have it playing on the big screen. Thank you in advanced and great app! ### 5/5 — Brings back my childhood *2023-08-13* I’ve been looking for Barbie movies and monster high bc Netflix took it of I appreciate this so much ### 5/5 — Rating so you see *2023-08-12* Really wanted this app to work, however they advertise free movies but unfortunately that’s just not the case ### 5/5 — Rating 5 so you can see *2023-06-09* This app is horrible! It doesn't even play movies its a scam! Don't download! ### 5/5 — Best movies ever *2023-06-05* Y’all this is the best app ever it has new movies and I don’t have to go to the movies anymore to see them because they are in here for free ### 5/5 — Only rating it 5 so it shows. *2023-02-06, version 2.1* This app is a scam. What is “play an augmented reality” anyway? Anyway, it doesn’t let you watch movies. It shows you the cast and the movie details. You have to get iTunes in order to watch it which defeats the purpose 🤦🏽‍♀️ ### 5/5 — The only thing *2023-01-17, version 2.1* GoMovies is one of the best apps I’ve come across the only thing that’s not an advantage is that there aren’t any age recommendations but so far it seems to be a great fit for me ### 5/5 — FREE MOVIE *2023-01-11, version 2.1* It’s hard to find an app that you can watch popular&new movies! Highly Recommend! ### 5/5 — New *2023-01-10, version 2.1* Just got the app. Haven’t watched any thing yet but template looks good;) ### 5/5 — Best one in the book *2022-12-25, version 2.1* this is soo good I get to watch all me fav movies --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
