Ads opening on their own is wrong.

STOP FORCE OPENING ADS IN MY SAFARI AS I SCROLL BY. That’s shady AF!

Knock it off with the ads that open other apps

The title says it all. I can’t scroll without the stupid ads opening my browser or another app.

Fake As Clicks

App keeps spawning browser as if I clicked on an ad, when the ad wasn’t even displayed and all I’ve done is start to scroll.

App Errors

IMBD. Stalling, reload in mid page tabs for watch options aren’t labeled.

Get her rescued.

Too long to get her back from Russia/Islamacists. Too many shows. Get the timing better. Why watch next week for the same thing again?

Frequently locks up

The app used to be great. Then they made accessing some reviews require an account. Now it frequently locks up, and the only way to un-wedge it is to quit the app and reopen it. Maybe it just works better with an account. I’ll never know

Ruined

Went from loving this app to being absolutely frustrated with
All of a sudden you must log in to read reviews absolute garbage

App & website remove reviews they don’t like.

Any valid criticism of woke plots, remakes sequels etc and the rampant ideology propaganda, White Culture erasure and appropriations and gender/race/sexuality swaps for DEI falsehoods offensive to Whites, Christians and anyone that’s not covered by protected category status, all this he e declined, rejected and even wiped out of the Apple Store reviews.

There’s widespread suspiciously high ratings for woke movies that a significant percentage of reviewers disliked which suggests vote manipulation (another form of making negative feedbacks disappear from “cash cows” and pet causes).

My few reviews that were accepted got through with 1 or 2 downvotes already attached, straight out of the review “desk” which leads me to believe that there is an organised in-house practice of affecting the rates and reviews process. Idk if this is done by real persons affiliated to the company, or groups outsourced to vote this way or that, film industry entities, lobbies, bots or what but whatever it is, the common thread is woke, Left ideology and propaganda.

Also, I just gave IMDb 3 stars and 5 minutes later it was gone, then I gave it 2 stars and it’s gone walkies again. I’m redoing the latter and checking it it’s also wiped out after.
I’ll save it, share, screenshot and check up on it later, and if it’s gone again I will enquire directly and escalate it as it is our right… still.

Last: the stars keep resetting, allowing for an unknown amount of ratings by the same person, which adds to the suspicion that there is an apparent systematic culture of false scores.

If my input continues being tampered with and cut out like a contagious disease I’m seriously considering moving to greener pastures. Plenty have easy import/export features that make the change painless except for how worthless a person feels after such experiences with a service or community with which we’ve been for years.

Link not showing up

The link to “Renewed and Cancelled” program is gone again.

Spam garbage

This app should be banned from the app store. It is constantly automatically clicking on ads and forwarding me out of the app to web pages from the ads. That stuff is complete garbage and the developers of this app are obviously trash! More corporate greed

They broke the app

When you click on a genre like Dark Comedy it does not list movies belonging to that category any longer.

It only lists other movies lol

Why the F do I need an account?

Stupid app asking for an account. Why?

Good resource, poor interface. App is literally just a way of accessing the website

The new UI from a few years ago is still just a “cleaner looking” downgrade of the old one. News section is worthless close to 80% of the time. No more message boards.

Update: I am now constantly met with this message when opening the app, and again when opening any page.

“ Network Error

This app is literally just an interface for a website. Breaking constantly and making updates only for the newest iOS version is incompetent.

Constantly kicked out

All of a sudden I keep getting session expired and have to resign in, losing my history etc. Great update guys!

People are nonsensical to make it sound nice

Most people have very little to no taste in movies and somehow find joy in thinking the completely incorrect ratings are either believed by others or even matter even in the slightest. That said the app itself is well made

Support iOS 15

Support iOS 15! Still doesn’t support iOS 15. You’re website doesn’t work either. Support poor people.

Useless sign in

This app is overall cool, but the fact that I have to constantly sign in and all of my search history gets lost sucks!!!

Proprietary

NO I don’t want amazon. NO I don’t need amazon. I shouldn’t need to be required to have an amazon account to sign up to get reviews. IMDB is NOT the only place to get information. This edict just means I’ll be spending less time on IMDB. Are you happy with that?

Have to sign into Amazon now

Wow. Loved IMDB. Now, with recent update I have to sign into my Amazon account just to access reviews? Really? Such a shame. I have used IMDb for many years, as long as I had a smart phone in fact. Don’t recall anything negative about the app, in fact encouraged family members to use it. Sorry, not sorry IMDb, you’ll soon be la vague memory. Your App has been deleted. Entertainment information and reviews are now being acquired by another entity. Greed gets you nowhere. Not sure why an Amazon account is needed to access the same information that has been available for years without it. Just hope others understand the consequences of linking an Amazon account could possibly create with financial information. Be sure to read their privacy terms.
