### 3/5 — Needs Improvement

*2026-06-16, version 2026.1.1*

Keeping track is great…the list should be searchable. Also newest eps/movies should be at the top of the list instead of having to scroll all the way to the bottom, especially when there are over 100 eps.

### 3/5 — Fun to track but..

*2026-05-14, version 2026.1.1*

I like being able to track and save favorites but I wish you could hide and sort the lists

### 4/5 — This would improve the app!

*2026-04-06, version 2026.1.1*

I like the app but if people could comment on other people’s reviews, it would boost the Hallmark community. I’m sure plenty of people would volunteer to be moderators.

### 2/5 — Think it’s time for an update!?

*2026-04-01, version 2026.1.1*

Half of its not coming in

### 3/5 — App needs work

*2025-12-19, version 2025.8.1*

12/19/25 update. 
I check the RECENTLY ADDED section EVERY week and still managed to miss the first few episodes of “Twelve Dates 'Til Christmas”. Maybe add the same sort options as other sections?

I stopped setting reminders, so I have no idea if this was fixed: Set up the reminders, thinking it would create the calendar it gave as a choice. Now I can only turn the reminders on or off but can’t change the calendar. 

FIXED: I downloaded the app from the cloud to my iPhone to see if it would work better on a different device—none of the movies were marked as Watched or Want to watch, so I didn’t bother using it. 

ADDED: The checklist is a great idea. Maybe a future update can have a sort by title option. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Used to love the app

*2025-12-14, version 2025.8.1*

I enjoy Hallmark movies, and always had fun keeping track with this app.  However when they started adding TV shows to the app, thus reducing my total percentage of things watched, I did not enjoy the app as much.  Can the app be updated so that I cold delete the shows, so they wouldn’t show up on the list?  Thank you!

### 3/5 — Not Updated

*2025-11-26, version 2025.8.1*

Doesn’t match most titles that are on Hallmark+. So very useless.  And can’t watch from app if you have a cable tv provider.

### 3/5 — Please update this app!

*2025-11-24, version 2025.8.1*

I need to be able to better manage my checklist! 

It shows 2600 I watched movies on Hallmark plus, and while I would love to watch all of them! No one has that kind of time! 

There needs to be a better way to filter the checklist by “watched” and “unwatched” and a better way to mass check movies off. Or at least take them off my checklist completely!

### 4/5 — Almost perfect - wish I could hide lists I know I won’t watch!

*2025-11-19, version 2025.8.1*

Love this hallmark checklist app. It’s almost perfect and checking the “I’ve watched” is my fav thing to do after every movie I watch. I’m very much a check list person in all things I do. But one thing that has been driving me nuts for years about this app is that I can’t hide lists that I don’t want. This leaves me with lists I know I’ll never have progress in and that and that bugs me. I love the hallmark movies, but I know I will never watch old highway to heaven or dr Quinn episodes, so I want to hide those lists from my master list tab. I really wish that was an option .. maybe others might too? Thanks !

### 3/5 — Please fix the lists

*2025-10-13, version 2025.8.1*

I really enjoy this app and it appeals to us “list” types but one thing that changed a few updates ago is the list order in the app. They used to be in chronological order and now they’re jumbled and I hate it. Please please fix!

### 3/5 — Wish it had year-to-year functionality

*2025-09-22, version 2025.8.1*

I do really like this app and it’s very convenient. However, I often watch the same movies one Christmas season to the next and it would be great to be able to favorite things and mark which ones you like or don’t like but then be able to clear your list of what you’ve watched every season if you want. (While still keeping information on what you liked and didn’t like.)

### 3/5 — New Movies

*2025-08-31, version 2025.8.1*

New movies aren’t showing “Next On” with a reminder. When the new movies play again after their “Premiere”, they show as “streaming” and not when they will be on the Hallmark Mystery Channel. Hard to set a reminder when it can’t be done.

### 3/5 — Keeps freezing after writing a review

*2025-08-29, version 2025.8.1*

The app keeps freezing after I submit a review. Then I have to close the app to get the hallmark movie checkout app to work again. Annoying for sure. 

Also the sorting function does not work very well. They need a better way to sort and see what shows / movies you have not seen before.  When you sort by watched status it doesn’t always show unwatched shows first. 

They need a place to view all unwatched shows from all of the lists so you can just scroll through there to see what you want to watch instead of having to go into every separate list. 

Finally- sometimes you can’t select “watched” for series. You can only add to your list or mark as favorite but not select watched. 

I keep track of all shows I watch to help me figure out what to watch next. So the app is very helpful in that way.  T

### 2/5 — Notifications won’t turn off

*2025-08-02, version 2025.7.1*

Nice app but the calendar notifications won’t turn off or remove. I can literally be in the app and turn off the notification for a certain movie and it will turn itself right back on. If it stays off for a second and I get out off the app when I go back in to that movie it’s back on again. This is frustrating as it takes up hours long of area in my calendar that I don’t need when it I have already set the movie up to record, so it appears as though I have an appointment when I don’t.

### 4/5 — Obsessed but just one complaint

*2025-08-02, version 2025.7.1*

Just want to say that I’m obsessed with this app. I have so much fun adding movies to my watchlist and checking off ones I’ve seen. My only complaint is that the app is missing some older titles. The ones I’ve noticed most recently are Smooch and Growing the Big One. It’s annoying when I come across a title I can’t check off 😩

### 3/5 — So so app

*2025-06-01, version 2025.5.1*

Has the potential to be great but the order of the lists makes no sense and now gets muddled with tv shows (plus feel like the groupings could be better.) Also why would you have the actors linked to a useless off app bio instead of linking to an in app list of all of their movies?

### 4/5 — Helpful

*2025-05-19, version 2025.3.1*

Love that we can check off the shows we watch.  Besides having a favorite button I would like to have a not favorite option.

### 2/5 — Problems

*2025-05-12, version 2025.3.1*

I’m getting continuous by buffering through movies

### 4/5 — Doesn’t work on latest iOS

*2025-04-08, version 2025.3.1*

Upgraded to iOS 18.4 recently and now the app doesn’t go beyond the initiation screen with the signature crown.

### 3/5 — Used to love but now too much

*2025-01-20, version 2024.10.1*

Used to love this app - I loved working my way through the checklists of movies for all of the seasons.   Recently ALL of
The tv shows have been added as well and dislike it very much. The show groups are all on the top and I have to search for the movie checklists in “my list.”  It would be great if there was a “do not want to watch” indicator which would remove the shows or group from displaying.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App not launching

*2026-03-03, version 2026.1.1*

The app is not launching. I have deleted and reinstalled and still does not launch.  Need to get this fixed.

### 1/5 — Love the checklist but not the ads

*2026-01-10, version 2025.12.1*

The ads on this checklist are disgusting and not family friendly

### 1/5 — Doesn’t save your list

*2025-11-23, version 2025.8.1*

I hate that it doesn’t save your list even when logged in. Sometimes it knocks movies off your list and doesn’t remember the ones you’ve watched

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2025-08-08, version 2025.7.1*

Difficult to use. Buffers, closes etc. none of my other streaming apps are like this.

### 1/5 — Mystery movies

*2025-06-07, version 2025.6.1*

Terrible

### 1/5 — Personal Data Hog

*2025-05-29, version 2025.5.1*

I’ve been using this app since it debuted but now you can ONLY use the “remind me” function if you give Hallmark permission to read ALL of you calendar data, unlike before when it only asked for write status (in other words, it could add a reminder to your calendar but not read entries or access app connected to your calendar). 

It’s GROSS, INTRUSIVE, and a violation of the spirit Hallmark presents. 

GO BACK TO ONLY REQUESTING WRITE ACCESSS TO OUR *PERSONAL* CALENDARS, YOU NOSY JERKS

### 1/5 — Not listed

*2025-04-27, version 2025.3.1*

Saturday, April 26, 2025 Signed, Sealed, Delivered: to the Moon and Back aired on the Hallmark channel but is not listed anywhere in the app to check off when shows and movies are seen.

### 1/5 — Will bever grant you FULL access to my calendar

*2025-03-09, version 2025.3.1*

Why do you need full access to my calendar. Absolutely NOT!

### 1/5 — I have used this for years and now won’t work

*2024-11-20, version 2024.10.1*

Every November I use this for at least 6 years. Now it won’t open or work and everything I watched is lost on my checklist.

### 1/5 — Login system is garbage

*2024-10-12, version 2024.9.1*

Love the app, and the movies but the login system is terrible. Find a different way to do it.

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2025-10-03, version 2025.8.1*

I like and love the app. It does have its flaws. The “Sort By” feature doesn’t work it used but not any more. Other than that I love the app

### 5/5 — Best app for keeping track of movies

*2024-12-09, version 2024.10.1*

This app is the best for keeping track of all the movies highly recommend if you want to keep track of all the hallmark movies you seen

### 5/5 — Yesterday’s update

*2024-05-28, version 2024.5.2*

I didn’t realize you all fixed the app showing what I watched. The one from last week took it away. Updating my rating.

### 5/5 — New Up-Date

*2024-05-25, version 2024.5.1*

Why did you stop showing the rating of the movies on the main screen? If I could not remember if I seen the movie, all I had to do was type in the movie title and it would tell me if I seen the movie just being on the main screen.

### 5/5 — Love movies

*2024-02-11, version 2023.12.3*

I absolutely love watching the hallmark channel!!! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Obsessed

*2023-11-09, version 2023.10.4*

I love anything and everything Hallmark so bring it on baby

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-10-26, version 2023.10.4*

This is a great app! My main complaint is that I wish the movies you added to your list were displayed in the order of when they were airing. It would also be nice to have a list that shows everything you’ve added to watch instead of breaking it up by category. Would make it so much easier to set recordings!

### 5/5 — We adore this high-tech organization for die hards

*2023-01-22*

We’ve had this app for years, absolutely love it, it gets us so organized for all of our viewing, we love the categories, love the seen vs not seen; don’t understand what anybody’s complaints are!  I was shocked to see a 3 ⭐️ average in the App Store so went in and read the - ones and these people are either tech challenged or just not getting it lol honestly this app is nothing but an organization gift for any true Hallmark 👑groupie like my daughter & I 👩‍👧We love this app thank you so much for providing it!  It rocks! Only negative thing I could say (which isn’t even) is oh my gosh how many Christmas 🎄 movies do they make & who are the people who have time to watch them all lol we focus on the category groups that are attainable to complete.

### 5/5 — Great for Hallmark Movie Lovers!

*2022-12-18, version 2022.10.2*

This is the perfect way to make sure you see all the new movies and series Hallmark has to offer each year and/or season. For those newer fans, all the older stuff is included. Plan your weekend or staycation or family time with the helpful next showing or premiere dates and times. The only thing I’d love to see in the app is the ability to sort the watched from the unwatched - Hallmark Developers, might you add this feature? Would be an excellent Christmas gift this year 😉

### 5/5 — Great Fun App!

*2020-11-12*

I absolutely love this app and have been using it since it came out! :) I immediately downloaded it and have used it for every season and all of the new and old movies. I love having a checklist especially with my OCD, I will check off everything I’ve watched and feel the best since of control and no chaos or an overwhelmed feeling of having so many movies to watch. I get to know what is on, the day it is on, what time it is on, and what I have or haven’t watched! :) I love the constant updates all the new cool features and being able to favorite my favorite movies now is especially one of best updates to me so far. I do have a question if anyone else has this same problem I am having and I thought it was just a glitch on my phone, but after a few updates it’s still not fixed, it shows that I have watched all the movies in certain movie categories, but still shows I have 1 left, but there isn’t another movie. For example the first one it happened to me on is the “Christmas In July” category, it shows 67/68 movies watched, but it says I have watched all movies and I even went back and counted all movies and there is only 67 movies. So I’m confused to why it showing one more movie and yet there is not another movie to watch this isn’t the only category that it is doing this to me on, it seems to be all Christmas movie categories too. I haven’t been able to find help for it online or if anyone else has the same problem as me so I figured I would add it to my review. Hopefully I can get an answer for this, thanks so much!
